AJayII reacting to Like a Prayer by Madonna (Re-upload)

[@mikantsumiki1747]

“WHAT DO U MEAN ITS NOT IN THE COMPUTER!?!?” Ajayll: 👁👄👁

[@elizabethschubert7803]

I’m disappointed we never got Ajay’s reaction to M’s debut album. I would have liked to see her ranking of the albums.

[@shefoldeditup]

I'm still super upset about this

[@hoetaru]

I think abt this everyday

[@clunkybootleg1357]

Me too. Would love to see her react to Burning Up and Holiday.

[@leonardodossantosbuzatto6896]

Like a prayer is pure art!

[@Hercules1977]

The album was dedicated to her mother "who thought me how to pray" (quote from the album cover), and she died when Madonna was 5 "Promise to try". "Love song" is feat. Prince. "Till death do us part" talks about her marriage with Sean Penn that was done on Christmas Eve 1988. "Oh father" talks about her frustrations with her father. "Keep it together" says that family is most important thing in the world. And "Act of contrition" as a closure of the album is actually "Like a prayer" played backwards.

thank you

[@soaribb32]

Madonna did know how to add some rasp, I love it.

[@GM1988]

She certainly did, and it sounds really good! But she used to scream to get that raspy sound. I have the original isolated vocals from vogue and express yourself, and she screams all the way through.

[@soaribb32]

​@@GM1988 she needed a vocal coach

[@Red_Rebel]

When she heard Madonna’s rasp, she didn’t even finish the song, automatically put a mark to it lol

[@amandalepre]

the express yourself music video is my favorite music video of all time and, i believe like a prayer is one of the most perfectly-constructed pop songs of all time

[@jestsetter2575]

Act of Contrition is a Christian prayer, a penitence asking for forgiveness for the sins that one has done. I’ve always thought that in the end when Madonna said “I have a reservation” it was actually Madonna being in the gates of heaven being assured of a place there, but she being sinful person was not allowed to enter paradise, hence the end line “what do you mean it’s not in the computer?”

[@caiofernandosilvadonascime9165]

All makes sense to me now... After years 😲❤️

[@itsmejuanin]

I think the double meaning is there. And also, Prince's unacredited guitar riffs are spectacular!!

[@eddv6090]

I actually love the idea. Always imagined a Tom & Jerry type of scene of her getting banned out of heaven

[@GM1988]

I think when madonna worked on the first two songs, she knew they are going to be hits! It's like the story that cyndi lauper once said when she wrote time after time, she knew it's going to be a hit, and she was right!

[@patrickstrong1521]

After recording their song together, Prince and Madonna toyed around with making a Broadway musical

[@zyonelzin4865]

A PURE CLASSIC ALBUM

[@danieljhidalgo]

Spanish eyes is a very underrated masterpiece song

15:39 when Ajay got enlightened with a discovery

[@felixmeow660]

I wish she had done reactions to Madonna's videos because she would see her in a whole new light

[@soundspy]

one of my favorites of her. thanks for the review and for pointing out the rasp in her voice! I never realized /reflect on the fact there used to be one. might be her losing confidence in her voice over time due to her vocals being ruthlessly criticised?

[@luisyepezg]

1:43 so true, thanks 'Deadpool & Wolverine'

[@reese8453]

it was way more iconic before that

[@agstinacueva1673]

No. Thank you Madonna. Shut up.

[@JosePromis]

If I am not mistaken, as I lived in the era when this album was a hit, and soaked it all up like a sponge, Keep It Together (and Express Yourself) were inspired by Sly & the Family Stone...

[@presrvb]

true. on the Blond Ambition Tour she also started Keep it Together with Family Affair by Sly & the Family Stone. it’s one of my fav mashups

[@miionwii07]

Act of Contrition is Like a Prayer looped in reverse with a laid down Prince guitar solo and a giant beat.

[@4qx20z]

was waiting for this! God bless you!

Thanks for uploading all the Madonna reactions of ajayll I was pretty sad I couldn’t find them anymore before but you got this :)

I was so mad that they deleted the original video but I’m soooo grateful for u to put it again ❤️❤️❤️ and with sound lmaooo

[@thevoid2660]

@Christian Hito i guess Ajayll didn't delete her reactions KZbin did. Her other reactions for Madonna's album are still on her channel.

[@ethypoo]

@@thevoid2660 no it says ajayii took them down when i viewed playlists of her reacting to madonna, but those playlists are gone and i can’t find them anymore

[@ethypoo]

i actually think ajayii took them down herself because i remember it said it was removed by the uploader, and i feel she did that to remove videos that had low views, cuz her least viewed video on her channel currently was over 160k views and many of her madonna reactions were only 70k-90k views so she took those down. the remaining madonna reactions on her channel have over 200k channels

[@bentoth6377]

Masterpiece hands down.

[@daniellaplume2006]

At the end of the last track, "what do you mean its not in the computer!" was a joke about her then recently divorced ex husband Sean Penn's notorious temper and volitility in public with paparrazzi. She had à réservation, the joke being like à réservation for seating at à restaurant which would have at the time been looked up and verified on a simpler version of a restaurant computer back in '89. It was an example of self-deprecation on her part and the refusal to take her status and superstardom too seriously.

[@CalebGUSHypocrisy]

She was singing about Sean Penn on Til Death Do Us Part.

[@juanmanuelvektor]

Madonna best album of all time and featuring her best conceptually tour ever: the blond ambition. Iconic. Instant classic. A visionary artist at her peak. The one we got now is a mere shadow of what it once was the most cohesive, bravest and successful female career from 80’s to 00’s, with her last decent contribution in 2006 with COADF. The rest was and is unforgettable TRASH. Thank god I witnessed the prime of her career and attended to her best concert tours cause what we got now is hmmm, IRRELEVANT AND REDUCTIVE

[@AntonioGG1-9801]

My favorite songs form Like a Prayer is; Like A Prayer, Love Song, Express Yourself, Cherish, Oh Father, Promise to Try, Spanish Eye and Keep it Together.

@@luanhylario5882 You Must Love Me won an Oscar in 1997. Either way, Gaga won an Oscar for music, it's an award known for acting not music , she did not get that so i don't know why Gaga fans act like an Oscar for music is anything better or bigger than a Grammy. Madonna has sung songs that won Oscars too. And if you want to do movie awards, she won a Golden Globe for Best Leading actress in 1997 too beating out Glenn Close and Frances McDormand, so it's not she's not been recognized at the movie front either.

[@Fvhlipe]

I know you only reupload madonna reactions but... THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. HER 'IN A HEARTBEAT' REACTION IS GONE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@scottbrozzo7418]

She lost her multi million $ contract with Pepsi over the video to like a prayer

[@jasondotson9035]

But she got to keep all the money, already aired the video, and she reigned on top of the charts without Pepsi’s help or the approval of the outdated religious beliefs. It’s her 2nd best album. But in 89 it was like Taylor Swift or Beyoncé’s popularity, great videos, fantastic songs, excitement was everywhere, she touched on important topics, and sales were great. Ultimately it left us with the beginning of her cementing her legacy as an artist, performer, songwriter, producer, singer, and overall great album especially at the time it was released.

Oh father she wrote about priests about who molested kids some of her close friends not about her father. AJ

Period.

[@Essenceofblood5238]

And don't even try to come for Love Song! That is a slinky, smoky, sensual, funky, groovy duet w/ Prince where they BOTH play to their strengths! Criminally underrated! One of THE standout tracks on an album that, unfortunately, hasn't aged too well on a cohesive level! PERIOD!

[@EthansTarot]

Express yourself album version sucks, the remix is the iconic version

[@amandalepre]

@@EthansTarot i enjoy the music video version much more than the album version (idk if that's the "remix"?) - the video also gives it that extra push, it's one of the best videos of all time (in my opinion!)

[@graphiquejack]

@@EthansTarotI don’t think it ‘sucks’ but yah, it’s inferior to the Shep remix. I see them as two separate songs almost. Both are good but one is better. And younglings who have only ever heard the album version are not going to be as blown away by the impact that song has when you see the video

[@FranBoxer72]

Spanish Eyes is a song about people in the 80's died for AIDS. This girls is funny, but isnt informed about the albums processes.
