Omg your disappointed face is so genuine! I don’t know whether to laugh or cry 😂
😂😂😂 Yes, she looks so disappointed
Same here, her reaction was mine all the way through; like hell no what a waste of my life watching and hearing that--whatever that mess was. Eeeeek!
Your reaction is so funny "hes not even singing live either" **blank stare** you totally made my day
This song is a definitely a grower for most Madonna fans. Give this song a chance and listen to it for a couple of times, some fans liked it after watching the video too. Madonna is fusing Latin sounds to her latest record because she's highly influenced by it during her stay in Lisbon, although this is nothing new to her (La Isla Bonita, Who's That Girl). She released another song called "I Rise" which sounds more like the other mid-tempo tracks she did in the past, maybe you'll like that. I really think that this era is going to be great, and if you just give these songs some chance to grow on you, maybe you'll see why this could have the potential to be one of Madonna's best eras. Also, she looks so happy in this performance, it's radiating off the screen!
I agree. This is Madonna’s best album since confessions!
I didn't agree with your comment about his age when he slapped her Ass, but I agree the majority at all. I really missed her voice.
Gabriel Luiz I agree!
What i absolutely LOVE about you is you are a objective madonna fan, you dont think EVERYTHING she does is great and im the same way. Its nice to see someone who can see faults and constructively criticize without malice or hatred.
I am Madonna's Die hard Fan and if i am getting to see Madonna performing at 60 age like this😄 it gives me so much of happiness to watch her perform like this.Madame X is her best Album and i am surprised by her innovative idea..She rocks and I love Madonna anyways💞💃🎸🎵
Love from India.
I love ur face in this videos🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
U are really funny and fantastic
Agree. She looks all confused 😂😆 especially 7:55 hahaha

Images are captured in a studio (Madonna filmed in London, if I'm not mistaken), then 3D models are created in a computer engine. The rest is camera tracking. It's one big technical choreography. ;)
did the audience see the holograms or just on tv?
@@Isirla0 Just on tv
@@Isirla0 just on TV
@@Isirla0 only on tv
Caprica Prime i Think it’s just on tv. It’s been used on a Dutch tv-program called Dance, Dance, Dance. And try to find recordings people made on their phones of this performance, here on UA-cam. You won’t see the holograms.
The guys who disliked should know that she knows what she’s talking about, she’s doing a great job in judging the effects into the voice. Madonna is 60Yo woman with a lot of stories to share!
MADONNA IS 60 AND STILL KILL IT......LEGEND
@@vince_002 get over it.....trolll.....madonna is amazing....
Anyone can “kill it” with autotune
Agreed! Madonna is Queen!
Madonna is a gross old lady
Your facial Expressions are everything lol...just fantastic 🙌💫
I'd really like to see you react to Madonna's entire performance of "Sooner or Later" at the 1991 Oscars. I consider this to be her best vocal performance ever, and I'd like to know what you think.
She already reacted to sooner or later.
What???? That Madonna performance vocally WAS HORRIBLE.
Gregory Lopez yeah but ‘Madonna’s best vocal’ doesn’t have to equate to being in any way a good vocal generally.
Shut Up idiots. @@MarthaMansbridge
@@GLopezMad I agree. Never got the hype. That was a terrible vocal performance. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but I agree. Madonna is the most overrated musician ever. Still love her tho.
I m very sry for this comment but
A guy of his age slapping her....
So what? Whats wrong with that? Its just shity, she is 60 years old and she is doing what she always have, open doors for all the others. In 5 years nobody is gonna care what age u are! Its always about her age! Dear Lord.....
This is just gross 60 year old trying to get this 20 some year old
I don't like people saying they're Madonna fans but don't like her new stuff. Madonna moves with the times. She stays relevant by making music more for the current generations more than her older fans. Her new songs are still amazing
Madonna is an amazing performer and the times she uses backing tracks it's typically because she has a cold or flu. I didn't like the song the first time I heard it but it has grown on me big time.
I'm really open to people, women especially, embracing their sexuality when they're older. Madonna shows us that you don't have to be young to be relevant, and she has so much energy, and is still growing and pushing as an artist, so I love this and the chemistry between her and Maluma. Madonna is 60. She is frekaing amazing and an inspiration to all of us.
I absolutely understand your point of view about this performance in particular because you are a quite trained and correct vocal coach being honest, but please, if I am allowed to, I would like to add something: Madonna is in her 60´s, and she has survived from the 80's era (we have lost George Michael, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, etc., on the way). So far, she has done everything and we can't ask her for more... seems to me that she is having fun, and she has also accomplished her main mission through her whole career: being controversial,} and provoking people.
I love your channel, your videos...I really, really like your reactions and I learn a lot from you! (I'm not a singer but a music fan)
That's a poor philosophy. You shouldn't just throw your hands up and say oh well she's in your 60s we shouldn't expect good vocals. It doesn't matter how old, you can still give a solid vocal
I found this review to be ignorant, tbh, I think Madonna is trying too hard to summon up a vision of Medellin, but the rhythm is obviously a Colombian cha cha and not a conga, which is from Cuba. That is just pure ignorance and not cute to flaunt your ignorance like that.
If you don't have an appreciation of Latin culture this isn't going to be your thing, and she obviously is a big anglophile.
gisforgary sorry, but I think you’re missing the point. The auto tune and singing over the tracks is what she’s saying. In my humble opinion, the gimmicky holograms are a way to distract from a so so performance.
gisforgary she’s talking about the Black Lace “Conga” song, not the conga rhythm. You’ve missed the point completely.
@@kayroz5 absolutely
Why so much criticism?! Stop thinking about age, she is fighting that since 2000’. She’s doing playback since the beggining the career, including vogue in 1990. Start appretiating the big picture, not details.
She is only being honest
Please react to Mariah's live Medley performance on that very same show please. We'd love your feedback ;)
Totally agree! Fair and honest! Madonna simply hasn’t worked out how to sing live and move, and she gets SO nervous during live performances.
There’s no reason why she couldn’t have sung the first verse and stayed VERY still (my partner and I’ve noticed that she sounds the best she she’s very still - like when she’s sat down, or in the electric chair, or on the cross on tour), and then danced and sang over herself for the rest of it.
But she’s redefining pop performance with augmented reality on live tv - still pushing boundaries!
And I think the age gap thing - I Madonna is ageless if you’re a straight guy. She’s 60, up there dancing with someone in his prime and more than keeping up with him.
But yeah, we’re here for the vocals! 🤷🏻♂️
You should definitely check out Madonna's MET Gala 2018 performance. Her vocals are live and the performance is deeply emotional. I absolutely love your channel! I discovered it about 2 weeks ago and I think you are such a sweetheart! :) Keep up the good work!
I thought madonna sang live into the a microphone with the autotune feed on it? I've seen other artists do that. It's still cheating, though...
but live vocals
She done that for years she can't sing really
We know you loooooooove the Queen, so no worries about expressing your opinion. You’re such a darling anyways
madonna25757 She is but she got a big point wrong: Madonna sang it all LIVE as usual, only the backing track was too loud.
Here is her mic feed, and she sings live, live, live:
ua-cam.com/video/VIZewJtV2zI/v-deo.html
I’m also a BIG fan. I think the song and the performance are just a bit of fun. Not her finest moment. But come on we do judge her to a higher standard. Which isn’t really fair but I guess cus we love her so much we want her to be iconic every single time. Which is impossible. The very first thing I said when I heard The song was the critics will love it but the public won’t and I was right. Great music reviews poor chart performance. It’s a very well made song but just not on trend at the moment. I know she’s been doing the Latino thing her whole career but just like her collab with Timberland she’s just missed the boat by about 12 months with the Spanish pop explosion. I still love her. I like the song and the performance was ok. I prefer ‘I rise’ feels more original which is what we all love about Madonna! New original sounds! Thank you for your channel! You’re great x
Lovely head not doing well on charts? You had your chance to shut up. It's doing Quiet well on billboard dance chart at the moment and very good air plays in USA. This vídeo reached 11 million views on youtube. A difficult achievement for all non teenage or young adult artists. She did it.
I agree 100 percent.. Old Madonna would call this "Reductive"
😂😂😂
Reductive like Gaga?
Fashiondevil1985 now Madonna is reductive. Gaga is doing so much better. not much of a trend follower like the new Madonna. Madonna in the 80s-early 90s would be so disappointed…
Fashiondevil1985 Look it up....
@@AlexeBriand2002 Madonna from 90 was too a trend follower, Music, AL and Cotd are the exception
Madonna isn't doing this because she NEEDS to she's doing it because she is having FUN.
At this point she has nothing to prove, she's a legend.
Also, do NOT compare the Joans Brothers to Madonna.
LOOOOL
Eraun Haughton she’s not comparing them tho. but at least they sing live while Madonna... well we know Madonna rarely sings live
Eraun Haughton she’s become a trend follower. so sad.
Madonna is not a legend is a product
Sorry, I love your videos but this one...!!! I had the same face watching it as you watching Madonna's performance. Are you really so closed to any other language than english as you show here??? Everytime they sang spanish your face was incredible scared? And that's because you have understand nothing. But what Conga? This is regeatton!! OMG. Madonna and Maluma sing live over playback. You can easily notice if you have heard the song and OMG, her spanish is amazing. It makes my hair stand on end to hear her sing in Spanish and how she dances with 60 years old. This is definetly not a performance to react except for the dance and scenography. It is a sow! And it was really great! I really love your videos but I really think this was not for you. And please, theres more than english, La Cucaracha and La Conga :)
You know what, I don't really mind the playback this time. Madonna isn't really known for being a great vocalist anyway. I love the hologram idea and choreography (minus the cringy ass slapping lol) and these elements really helped a lot in this performance. This is definitely not one of Madonna's best lives tho.
@Mac couldn't agree with you more👉
You guys are being a bunch agists what? a woman has to be young in order to get slapped on the ass?? really?! you can only be so lucky that someone still want to slap you on the ass when you’re 60
I’m sorry, but Madonna’s performance wasn’t about good vocals this time but about having fun. Madonna is 60 years old and she had been criticized just because her age, people think that she “should act her age” and that’s exactly what she’s showing on this performance. Even YOU said something about her age on this video... and this is what her performance was about... to wake people up and stop worrying about age. She is using technology also to make a point, “you are calling me old but any of the young performances are using new technologies in their performances”, how about that ?, again she’s ahead of her time like she was in the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s. If you are watching the performance to find out how good or bad the vocals were this is the wrong video. Madonna always put her heart on each project she does, and she sings with her open heart. React to LIVE EARTH performance where she sang 4 songs, danced her ass off and showed how good she is. She’s amazing !
you are absolutly right on every point.so weird that people keep mentionning her age every single time since she'40 and always judging her based on that.
This performance is not about live vocals is about how good she can incorporate new technology into her performances! We know she can sing ... plus is hard sing and dance at the same time😏
can she?
5.18 the moment you realize he’s not singling live either 😂😂
Singing along with a track is still liVe just not full force vocals. 👍
@@s.e.landeros280 😂 Yeah, and it's live cause they're both like... alive 😂😂😂
@@ScribblebytesWorldwide yea, & that's true 4 u Cause ur just slow. 😂😂
I’d love to see you react to JANET JACKSON. I just love her
I love the song!
The holograms weren't holograms, actually. They are augmented reality. The audience in the arena can't seem them on stage, but they are visible on the screens above the stage. Madonna and Maluma have to perform with them as though they're there in order for us to see it correctly.
Madonna = vocoder no playback.. the presentation was fantastic and innovatic
innovatic is not a word. it appears to be part of the name for an engineering firm. i think you were looking for innovative. and i'd have to disagree.
I love love love Madonna, Im not too keen on this song, But no way, am I disapointed! I'm proud to be a Madame ❌ aka Madonna fan.
Hey Guys ! 1st I think You are a wonderful vocal coach, your reaction is normal because vocal is your speciality, but personaly I don't care if they sing on double track, because the show and what it makes me feel is the point. 2nd, I think this is one of the coolest Madonna's performances I've seen in my life! Madonna is an artist in advance on her time. So it's normal people needs time to understand a new musical universe (including myself). On the 1st lessoning of Medellin I did not buy it. But I don't know why I felt necessary to listening every morning and every night and now I am totally addict. The clip is beautiful and this BBMA performance is Extraordinary, to share all my sensations with you, it reminds me deep and peaceful sensations I had ones I made love with my beloved beeing stone.
This Song is a Big Masterpiece of her career. We just need to forget all we know and let our brain and ears welcome this new enviroment. Really a big bravo to The For Ever Queen for make us travel in all new universes . the show and the result is extraordinary!
No, Madonna is NOT an artist in advance of her time. She's a pop star who has made some fantastic pop records and, unfortunately, this song is not up there with them. Honest Vocal Coach is spot on when she says the only thing that will be remembered of this performance is the holograms which, incidentally, could only be seen by the viewers on television, not the audience at the show; for them, the performance must have been very lame.
@@barbaracartlandmuseum8096 This is only your opinion. My opinion is This music Remind me the best sex moment I had in my life. If you never Knew it, You Can't understand.
@thehonestvocalcoach Something that should be noted is that all live television augmented reality requires a 3-7 frame delay in the live video signal along with the audio stream that goes out to viewers. It sounds like the in venue audio is getting mixed in with the delayed feed. My guess is the live audience wouldn't have heard this reverb effect, although they couldn't see the holograms either. Remember you need to bake a delay into all the camera feeds, even the ones not showing a hologram, to allow the computer enough time to render the overlay positional graphics.
With a live musical performance this is an extremely complex ballet to choreograph technologically. I doubt it was rehearsed very much with all the production elements before it went live to air since the control room crew for these type of shows usually don't come on until the final day or two.
Incerto this
Wow to be 60 years old. Dance around a stage and sing. C’mon. Madonna will always be queen.
I liked that her face didn’t look as bloated from Botox as usual
Yes she looks better not puffy but... we all do. Lots of people have said this about her. Anyways... it might be botox but lots of different situations could also be a cause. From medication to diet, allergies, injury, any type of anti aging procedures, menopause, health issues, etc... I mean it could totally be botox but there could be so many possibilities. And for all the time she has been recorded in front of a camera...there hasn’t been too many puffy looks.
She lost weight
its dermal fillers that give that bloated look, they are at their worst when they are new, which i think is part of the problem, people go for fillers just before they want to look good for the camera and it just looks like their head is exploding from the inside. people use them a lot for lips and it gives you that nice baboon butt look when they are just done.
Botox doesn’t make u puffy. Just freezes the face. She’s more a a derma filler patient. I think she’s gotten better at timing her fillers so they go down before performances or appearances. She needs to just cut the fillers and go back for a facelift like she did 10 years ago.
OMG when you said: That's kind of Cringy : HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH you killed me HAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAH
I have discovered your channel today, one of the very few times I haven't been disappointed by youtube's recommendations! You're amazing!
This hologram performance costed her 5 million dollars.
For me Medellin is a grower. You should listen to 'I Rise' from her which was released today😍
Leo 08 I rise is even worst. Everything is overly produced and she’s trying to blend in and it ain’t workin
SoLA489 I Rise is amazing
SoLA489 I love it
She hasn't had a decent album since confessions on a dance floor
@@DavidTyler Rebel Heart and Madame X say hi
If you want to listen to some recent vocals from her I'd recommend you to check out her MET Gala performance! She did really good on that one
I love your reviews they’re so great! You can have a live sound engineer to create all the sound effects live which Madonna has done as well as singing to a pre recorded live track of her vocals too. It makes it sound like the studio version. She isn’t doing much singing like her usual live shows it’s all performance and having fun here which is good
I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING MALUMA FOR YEARS - SHAKIRA INTRODUCED ME TO HIM. AND HE'S KNOW AS THE KING OF AUTOTUNE...I HAVEN'T HEARD ONE SONG OF HIS IN WHICH HE'S SINGING WITHOUT IT.
Taylor swift and brendan urie were live too. Its dissapointing when you know they could really could do it without and they just decide to take it the lazy way out 😪
They where fantastic i have to say.
That’s one of the reasons why I can’t get into pop music, so many fake performances and lip-syncing. People buy tickets to their shows and get a CD player
That taylor performance was a mess. She didn't sound good.
The Taylor/Brendan performance definitely used a prerecorded track.
Tina A lmao . What a loser .
these are not holograms, it's something what snapchat use - some kind of living stickers, because Madonnas were only on tv added as effects, not live on stage
augmented reality
She already did that.
I like you :D but I cannot understand how you're not feeling it omg i just want to dance 🙌🙌🙌
Maluma was so off tho
Me too, it’s amazing
Dance is okay but Madonna voice nuh nuh
I know she’s singing over her own track. Kind of playback-ish, but if you only see her face and how wonderful time she’s having... totally worth it!!! I Love Madonna!!!!
All lyp syncing! She released a second track, "I rise", but her voice is also over processed. I am not putting shade on her, but I miss her real voice.
Daniel Pose 100% agree!
maybe its Mirwais , HE LOVES LOVES EFFECTS AND AUTOTUNE remember MUSIC(2000) and AMERICAN LIFE (2003) check it out
I totally agree with you! Mirwais has called “Madame X” a futuristic global album. Well if his definition of “futuristic” is auto tuning her vocals to sound inhuman then.....shit. Idk.
Lip synching means there is no singing. Like what a drag queen does. She was singing 90% of the time, just the record was much much much more dominant in the mix. Technically it’s not lip synching.
its live vocal filters, if it were studio it would sound better. you can add effects live, but it doesn't sound studio quality. The technology isn't exactly new, Kanye picked it up when he bought Harder Better Faster Stronger from Daft Punk. I think he is probably the biggest name in the Anglo world using it now.
Her butts in pretty good shape to be fair...I loved the song..and the performance and couldn't give a monkees if she was signing over it..I don't really watch her for a great vocal..in the video she has a real cheeky energy going on..and I'd bet u will hear this blaring out all over Ibiza .
Jacqueline Paul her butt has implants now. Look it up. Good for her if that’s what she wants.
I personally think Madonna doesn’t need all the gimmicks. She’s so good! Incredible dancer. Sometimes I think she might forget that. 💃🏼
she always likes to put on a show, like paying for her superbowl show out of her own pocket.
Madonna is a gimmick.
The biggest gimmick is the duet, she is trying to get into the market of the other artist. An artist, by the way, that was about to leave his market and he would overstay a little more thanks to this push.
I think she has a dilemma now because she can't dance like she used to She's now 60 and I suspect she cannot physically do it and Im guessing from various injuries. so her dilemma is now what to do and how to perform live and keep her fans happy. For a woman who has always advocated change its almost like she is really scared to make a big change now and so she misses the mark
Badidea Bearcub The amount of artist became big due various of collaboration. This is her only hope to attract younger audiences.
Paula Abdul KILLED it!!! She was painfully auto tuned but man she was the best performer that night
Meli Ocasio Paula was awesome❤️
Hey Georgina!
Michal Kinik no, the live audience saw them. That’s why it was so expensive.
@@JamesFrew1 No the live audience only saw them on two screens above the stage. That's why they are 'avatars' and not true 'holograms'. Just search for an audience vid from the arena and you'll see they don't see them.
Madonna is definitely singing live here though, her level is just really low. You can notice her live voice distinctly on the 2nd verse.
@@JamesFrew1 No they didn't.
@@JamesFrew1 Yes Mr.Superfan and Madonna is goddess 🐒😁👌 #amen
I loved the performance! I was happy because Madonna looked so happy. She was having a great time. Love her!
It is a grower as my first initial listen I was kind of meh! But after awhile it worms its way into your brain and it won't let go!
The production flourishes on the vocal track means you have to have a backing track in order for it to sound like the recorded song.
you are amazing. the sincerity is incredible and your expressions...love it.
“black lace cheesy land.” yes indeed. lol!
100% agree with your comments. Imo, Madonna’s not known for amazing live vocal performances but more so for her youthful antics and earlier in her career her “shock factor”, particularly in the 80’s/early 90’s. Nowadays she’s recognised for the fact that she’s “still going”, certainly not for her brilliant voice and musicianship.
It’s one of those songs that grows on u. At least that was the case for me. Felt meh about it the first time I felt like it got better with each listen.
Same here. After video, performance, but especially this one remix that just came out provides more dimension to the song.
I've been a big fan of Madge also. But not crazy about this song. Hope her new album is better. Wish she would do music like ray of light and confessions on the dance floor. I love those albums.
I agree. I was hoping for something more in those styles then this reggaeton vibe which loads of major artists are doing at the moment.
Please react to Mariah’s live performance at the bmas it’s not on UA-cam either.
Sapphire Soul it’s on UA-cam in NBC’S channel
I didn’t know Mariah Scary had anything to perform
IpodAdvance She received some special award and she performed. Unlike Madonna, she actually sang live, but maybe she should have lip-synced or not performed. It was really off and Hero was especially bad. Fans are praising it, but Mariah is well passed her vocal peak.
@@guillermovilla9517 Moldonna could of sang live... Mariah had a corset on that limited her breathing, was celebrating her twins birthday the day before, and her nodules was acting up because of the day before. The award is called "The Billboard Icon Award", which Moldonna has yet to receive. It wasn't Mariah's beat vocal day (Check out the Caution World Tour 2019 and Asia Tour 2018) and her voice isn't long overdue. She can still sing, not the same as her prime, but she still sings better than today's artists. Her vocal folds and chords are different than everyone's and her voice has changed (everyone's voice changes)
@@guillermovilla9517 What was Moldonna's excuse for lipping/singing over the studio track? The Lambs, Celebrities, News Stations, Magazine's, and etc has praised her performance. Even Mariah said twice that she hated the performance and that she was nervous.
There is no age to have fun and slap an ass! 😂
I totally agree! React to Mariah's performance at the BBMAs, please!
A guy of his age slapping her butt, has been what Madonna has been doing since day 1, fighting for expression then, and now. You don't have to like it, many won't, because they see what has been instilled in them by society. A younger woman slapping an older male singer's ass, not cringey. Madonna has never been one for vocals, she does sing well live when she is still, but when moving, and when it is not her own concert, without more time to prepare, she uses backing. She wants her performances to be visually a treat as well. It is a nice subtle sexy song that grows on you with each listen. It is expected many people will not like it. I am just glad she still makes music, and still does things to get people talking.
Thank you for this video . I completely agree with you. Playback destroys the performance. Thank you again! For sharing your reaction. I really enjoy every video reaction from you. Thank you!
I love playback :P
I don't think she did play back, I could hear her sing behind the track, but she was using auto tune the whole song.
No was playback, the use of vocoder was the reason fir the people talking shit
Maluma is phyne! I thought this performance was okay but sure it doesn’t hold up to the best of her career. She just dropped ‘I Rise’ and this song is amazing! Check it out
I find Beyonce prerecords a large chunk of her live vocals, remember when she was caught out with her National Anthem inauguration performance, and so she did it live in the press conference. LOl. Showbiz is full of a lot of smoke and mirrors sadly.
YES! Hardly anybody has noticed Bey doing this, but I noticed years and years ago. The die hard Bey fans come up with lame excuses like "time delays" or audio/video sync, but it's plain old pre-recording and miming. It annoys me because it's deceitful, but equally, the highly energetic routines she does mean she'd suck so badly singing all live.
she didnt use to lipsyn c back in the day from 2003 to 2007 she did not lip sync esp when she wasnt dancing
Please leave Beyonce out of this........
This video has nothing to do with bey yet you felt the need to bring her up
Who disliked this video? This shows how delusional fans can be. This performance from her was trash. The holograms stole the show. I don’t even care that she was lip syncing, as long as she was doing something more with her “dancing”. Like at least Paula Abdul DANCES and puts on performances that it takes away from her lipping. If an artist that I absolutely lived did a horrible performance and u said it was horrible, I can’t be mad🤷♀️
Hard to believe she's the same person who made La Isla Bonita
Neel Ramjus and this song is basically a failed remake of La Isla Bonita
You can’t like every performance or song from an artist. I didn’t like this song at first, but after several times of hearing it and actually listings to the words.....I like it! I was 12 years old when Madonna first emerged onto the music scene and will always respect and love her as an artist. Doesn’t mean I like everything she does or all her music. I think the horrible part is reading all the horrible comments about her age and being irrelevant. People are cruel and she will always be an inspiration to me and an example to never stop doing what makes you happy! I love watching your reviews!
Wow, all that criticism here in comments 🤯 .... okay it wasn't live, but holy Ⓜ️, let her have some fun, it's a great song for a lazy day at the beach while the sun sets. And damn I wish a guy half my age gave me some slaps of that 😋 LOL
I agree completely :)
Mariah carey even sang her hardest notes live. Her speech was impactful.
Madonna just sounds like a robot nowadays.
I'm a Madonna fan too and couldn't agree more with your comments. Your comments couldn't be more genuine. Thank you!
React to Mariah Carey’s Billboard Icon award performance +TheHonestVocalcoach
Im just stunned that you actually expected it to be live. I would never have chosen a clip from a show like this to judge a live performance by. While it was possible that she might have sung live to track, the vocal treatments really meant that it was never going to be sung live at a moment like this [just like Cher's Believe] which Madonna would naturally want to be perfect. The choreography and the holograms etc would mean that she would nix a live performance if she felt it at all likely she would not put out her best performance vocally.
I appreciate that you didn't like the song - altho Im not sure if this was your first time hearing it. I love Madonna, but don't unquestioningly love everything she puts out. This, I wasn't feeling it so much when I first heard it, but it definitely has grown on me. I found myself humming it the other day which is always a good sign. Your mileage may vary.
I think this performance was more about the dance and showcasing the technology than the song, I am absolutely obsessed with Madonna and I agree Medellin is not her best
It took me 3 times for the song to grow on me . Normally a madonna song don't have to grow on me to like it . I love immediately but I didn't for first time in my life . My blanket on my bed is a giant picture of madonna. My whole room is covered in posters .CDs and records . I love I rise her single more .
Madonna is singing live into a mic that can auto tune and she is singing along to play back
You're right, such a rip-off. Anyone can do that.
It's pre recorded and they are singing on top of that, but some vocoder effects CAN be replicated live.
Kinda agree with you on most. But, kinda dissapointed you pulled the age card. You pulled it at the wrong time. You should have pulled it and said "WOW 60years+ and still rocking it!". So what if a 25 year old slap her behind.....
She's old enough to be his grandmother.
The HVC has the look on her face of every Madonna fan, listening to her new music for the first time and hoping for a “Like A Prayer” quality music and hearing something, 80’s Madonna wouldn’t have even used as b-side.
From 6:10 to 6:19 we cant hear you honest vocal coach
She's definitely singing along with the verses. And there were some Instagram videos of her in the car singing without any sort of facts, or correction, and it was pitch perfect. So she can do it… But this song is so highly produced, and that it would be weird not to have the effects. You can hear where it's different though, because she's either taking liberties, or she's definitely singing along with the verses.

I like that your honest! If we like or admire someone, we ought to care enough to be honest. And I myself was split. It was fun at one moment and then it didn't work another moment. I think the hologram work was a neat idea, but not that well executed. I think they overused them and it felt kinda "crowded" at one moment or another. And another disadvantage Madonna has, and you can see it compared to Mariah C., is that she actually moves and performs. It's hard to maintain your tone and voice while also doing what she does. And of course she's always going to try something new so it's a little nerve wracking before she goes on but in general, she rarely has a miss. And frankly, she usually has her track playing in the background as a backup in case she has something go wrong. Same with the superbowl performance-she had that backing track for support but then when she was more idle, like during Like a Prayer with Cee Lo, she sang completely live. So you take what you can and either enjoy it or not!
I'm a huge Madonna fan as well. Who cares about her age? Ageism with women in the industry needs to end.
With that being said, the song isn't good nor bad. It's meh.
I wish she would have came out with 'I Rise' as her first single.
But Madonna, like Cher, is at a point in her career and life that she doesn't feel the need to please, just make music that she's happy with. This song does echo that. I believe she knew it wasn't going to be radio friendly. But with the travels she has been on since her last album do reflect an inner change in her in this song. I respect her for that. I do miss her dance tracks with heavy beats, but I appreciate that she's putting a song out that is completely different from her discography.
Love her or hate her, she's Madonna. She will always be the queen of pop. The world will always stop and listen to what she has to say and the music she releases.
The Women in Music speech in 2016 proves that.
If someone hasn't watched that speech, I suggest watching. It was very emotional.
The world very rarely sees this raw and sensitive side of Madonna.
She delivered a heartfelt acceptance speech addressing sexism, misogyny, and feminism in the music industry.
It just made me love her more.
This is a real performance. Of course she doesn't have to sing live. She's proved so many times she has an amazing voice. Remeber "Vogue" from VMA 1990? One of the best performances EVER, she didn't even hold the mic.
This is MADONNA, the biggest pop star EVER!
We should all celebrate her and not just talk about her age and whether she sings live or not!!!
And this song is so fresh, energetic, summer hit!
MADONNA FOREVER❤
The only thing better than watching a stunning performance is the look on your face during a dreadful performance. Love it!
Though I agree with you about the in & out of live vocals, as U can hear the layering in the performance...Yet I must say, I absolutely enjoy this live rendition & the song-period. As Madonna brought the vibrant essence of a new age "Latin Festival" to the song, video, & stage! #BOSS-DIVA.
That effect can be done LIVE btw. It’s just a VST plugin that can be enabled live or an actual piece of hardware that is dedicated to that effect.
I found the song boring to be honest and I also love Madonna. I am disappointed 🤔
Just found your channel recently and have been binge watching. Really enjoying these clips.
I wasn’t crazy about this performance either I love Madonna and I did Love the fun vibe and dancing
Lol so it sounds like you enjoyed it contrary to how your statement started lol 😂
that effect is actually possible to replicate live. I once read an article about Madonna's Confessions tour. In the article it was explained that Madonna wants to give her fans the same sound as it is on the record. Therefor apple computers with the same effects as used on her vocal are used as a live effect. So everything she sings gets the same treatment as it is on the studio version.
I have seen her a couple of times in concert and there are songs she does lipsync but also ones she does sing live. For this particular performance i think it was done the same way.
When I make a new track in cubase I can put live effects on the track as well - delay, reverb, vocoder, autotune etc. So when you sing live the voice immediately gets that treatment with the live plugins.
You should listen to her new song “I Rise” it came out today. it’s better than Medellin in my opinion.
It’s ever so slightly better and that’s even a stretch. Very weak on the lyrics and she sings I rise repetitively.
I’m Living Like Jim Morrison , I disagree. The voice is better, but the music is anoying.
another horrible and boring one
🤷🏻♂️ she can’t satisfy everyone.
I also didn't like it. It sounds like her's last album, it sounds dejavu.
It seems that this album will be the worst album in her career.
In summary, your complaints about Madonnas performance don’t add up to much. So you didn’t like the “conga line?” What does that have to do with vocals? Her vocals are on point whether or not she is singing to a track. Also, how many times do any of us know what a song is about the first time we hear it? You have too much Jonas brothers on your brain, the song they sang was not full of the effects that Madonnas does and is meant to have.
That shadowy bit is just a part of either the lighting or camera rig. There were no actual holograms involved, all of that stuff was digital only and was superimposed over the video footage (which is super impressive technologically because it all happened LIVE, but there was nothing actually happening/visible on stage). I enjoyed your reaction and agreed with a lot of it, but I don't think your assessment of parts of this performance as lipsynced is correct. There was a loud backtrack throughout, but they were singing live as well, and you could hear their live vocals come through in some parts. The end result is almost the same though so it disappointed me, too. And some of that vocal processing is now possible live btw, the compression, reverb, vocoding..
They are using live vocal filtering, technology is like that, i think it sounds a little off because the technology isn't perfect yet. She called a cha cha a conga, that is just ignorance. If you have no appreciation of Latin American culture this isn't for you, and Madonna doesn't care.
What's insane is she has this whole crazy and EXPENSIVE performance, falls flat. Then at the end of the night Mariah Carey, arguably just as big as Madonna, comes out, sings live, blows everyone away. No comparison
