First time hearing Madonna "Vogue" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@charlesr63]

“Pushing boundaries “ just defined Madonna. This is such an iconic song for her, It’s amazing to me when I hear that people never heard this song all the way through . Awesome reaction 👏👏

[@soilofk]

And she still does it… now pushing boundaries of what society considers “ok” or “not ok” to do for a woman at 63 !

[@Me-qp8vz]

Shock value is not pushing boundaries. Did all y'all drop out of high school in grade 8 or something?

[@jayjaybee]

Yep. No matter how you feel about her or her music, she deserves praise for doing her own thing and setting new standards and changing the face of pop music.

[@carlosfernandez1300]

Madonna put out Express Yourself Like a Prayer and Vogue all within like 18 months time span - was such an iconic era. It’s hard to put in to words how powerful and famous she was. It’s never happened since. She’s the ultimate

It;’s definitely a song about empowerment. “You’re a superstar. Yes that’s what you are, you know it.”….inspiration taken from the majority gay, black, brown, and trans ballroom culture. Self empowerment, love and expression has really been consistently at the cornerstone of Madonna’s music throughout her career…..often overlooked by the controversy.

[@timothymiller803]

It is incredible watching the younger generations appreciate Madonna, recognizing her contributions and giving her props and respect... something that was not there very often if you grew up with and grew up listening to Madonna as a fan. You either loved her or hated her, growing up with her. That sounds harsh, but very true. You guys are giving life to old Madonna fans!!

[@CalvinTennessee]

I get so tired of hearing the "pushing boundaries" thing about Madonna. Madonna is so much more than a boundary pusher. She was an unbelievable force that merged theater, fashion, beauty and music. Before Madonna nothing had come close. What she did for female empowerment and gay rights will never be duplicated. She is the GOAT.

Great reaction. Madonna has now been going for 40 years - an astonishing career. The ‘Justify My Love’ official video is a great follow up to this video and fits into what you said about pushing boundaries and breaking down barriers.

[@ultrasonic205]

32 years and this song totally passes the test of time!

[@gopies1456]

She is also the queen of reinvention. Each album she always reinvented not just her look but her sound. Songs you need to react too are like a prayer, express yourself, justify my love, erotica, frozen, music and hung up. There are just too many really but in America she has had 12 no.1 hits and 38 top 10 singles more then any female recording artist

[@bbaabbaa8872]

Keep up with Madonna Her catalog is so vast and iconic

[@marcdany1]

Yes, she was pushing boundaries, showing that as a woman, she has no problem with her sexuality, all kind of sexuality! Till then a sexy woman in the pop world it was used as a sex-object, but Madonna showed that she decides, she own her sexuality, she is a sex-subject, not a sex-object! Therefore Erotica was a huge scandal back then! Yes, Vogue is more about self-empowering thinking also in the LGBT community because "vogueing" was a a dance practiced by black and latinos trans and gay people, imitating poses of fashion magazines like Vogue. Or in Like a Prayer, denouncing racism, and police racism already back then, surrounded with burning crosses! Also with a black jesus, an interracial kiss (in the 80 still taboo in the mainstream) etc it was also a huge scandal, even the Pope of Rome ex-communicate her!

[@ninadap]

Yup. This.

[@Blujonny11]

LGBT is today's identity for that movement. Back then it wasn't a 'political' title. Dance troupes had been rife with gay, bisexual and gender fluid individuals for decades. She just pushed that movement into the 'pop' world. There have been gay dance clubs for at least the last 50 years now filled with the same 'splendor.' And in Europe they go back even further.

[@TheDivayenta]

Those two videos are total works of art!

[@walterpanovs]

Directed by a young David Fincher. Iconic video for a #1 song.

[@thierrypapineau40]

Culturally it was the most important video of that era. She took the voguers from the gay clubs in Harlem and took them on tour with her and exposed gay culture to the world in the height of the aids crisis in 1990. I love your channel! You guys rock! Much love!

[@johnnolan5579]

This brilliant video was directed by David Fincher whose films include "Seven," "Fight Club," "Benjamin Button," and many more. One of the best directors of our time. Great video and a great song!

[@craiggie1628]

This video and song helped to bring gay male culture into the mainstream. It arrived at a time period in the wake of the 1980s AIDS crisis and ensuing HIV pandemic, when homophobia remained prevalent and LGBT rights and equality (no same-sex marriage, no human rights protection, no rainbow crosswalks) weren't where there are today. Madonna was one of many celebrities who helped to embrace, value, and celebrate LGBTQ+ culture.

[@Strepentijger]

Such a funky masterpiece song!And a very big hit back in 1990 all over the world!!!

[@Tica..77]

This song was HEAVILY inspired by the gay dance clubs she went to in the 80s/90s and saw the gay boys 'vogueing'...Some of the guys from this scene are vogueing in this video...she didn't come up with it herself, she just made it mainstream in a great way!

[@TheDivayenta]

Madonna was celebrating Black Gay and Trans “ Ballroom” culture from the 80’s. “ Voguing” was the dance style created there. Check out the show POSE to learn more about this rich world of dance !

Masterpiece by the Queen of Pop! More Madonna please!

[@Littlescienceguy]

I was 3, not far from 4, when this video came out; and my sister, mom, and I watched it together. We all loved it! I remember my mom saying “She’s tough!” My mom is a harsh critic, and for her to give that kind of nod to Madonna of all people really spoke to how this song, and the video, cut across all lines of genre and culture. In 1990, my mom was still very much partial to the artists of the 60’s and 70’s, soul, R&B, jazz, and classic rock. Even at that age, I was surprised she liked something from a young pop star that much. Part of what made this video so fun was that it had a little something for everyone. For us, we appreciated the homage to classic cinema of yesteryear, with the entire video in black and white, the style of her hair, the suits, the dresses, and the name drops of all those stars (i.e. Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Greta Garbo, etc). Those stars killed the game in the 1940s and 1950s, and to be immortalized like that in this masterpiece of 1990 by a contemporary is such a high honor. Somebody younger than me, watching this video, is going to search Fred Astaire, find his filmography, and learn that Michael Jackson’s style and dance was, in part, inspired by him. That’s pretty cool.

[@debbiemccain5850]

Two of Madonna's best songs (IMHO) are from movie soundtracks. "Live To Tell" from the movie At Close Range and "This Used To Be My Playground" from A League of Their Own.

She literally changed my life. When I was growing up, her Girlie Show concert was on TV and I recorded it to a VHS tape. I would watch it over and over because it made me feel like it's ok to be myself. It was the first time I saw any gay representation on TV.

Maybe you two could react to Madonna as she brings the club to the dance floor as she inhabits life to her song, MUSIC. She made this number during the early part of her pregnancy, but that wasn't going to stop her from bringing down the house !! INTO THE GROOVE, BORDERLINE and LUCKY STAR, are classics that should get some time on the turntable when you find a minute.

Madonna paved the way for today's female pop stars. No one can or should deny that. Without Madonna there wouldn't be a Britney, Christina, Rihanna, Katy, Gaga, and so many more. Yes, Whitney was the opposiite end of the spectrum but strong vocalists always existed in the industry whereas Madonna pushed it culturally, and turned the pop scene into a true expression. What I love about this reaction video is that "Vogue" is over 20 years old and it still sounds fresh today. It's an ageless, iconic song, as are many of Madonna's best songs. The same cannot be said about many songs from 20+ years ago, or even today.

Now it's mainstream and part of society. She was the first to push things in such a big way with a huge platform. From the late 80's - early 2000's she was literally the most famous person in the world. Check out her live performance of Vogue from the MTV Video Music Awards....Classic.

I’m loving your description of Madonna because that is exactly what she was. I grew up during this time I was born in January 19 70 and Madonna was fucking everything and let me tell you we all wanted to be like her. Not to mention her amazing talent. Everybody knows that Madonna went through her various stages of persona if you know what I mean because she’s amazing at reinventing herself and this is why she’s a true artist but my favorite stage she went through if you will is her Dita stage in the 90s that was everything!

[@CGPOPPOOP]

People took her breaking boundaries as a ploy for attention. If you pay attention to her interviews from back then she was always very intelligent in her responses. She wanted to break boundaries there were for women but not men. Men were allowed to sexualize women in their videos and nobody cared but when she was sexual it was scandelous. She hated that and did it harder to put it in people's faces and get them use to it. There was always meaning behind her controversies. This song, "voguing" is a dance style that originated in underground gay clubs. Gay rights was another topic she covered before it was trendy for celebrities to do so. Honestly she was the first name I can remember that made me feel ok about myself as a gay kid and I'll always appreciate her for that reason.

[@Ocelot2000]

Wait Wait :) “if you are a male you can Vogue too” OK some history. Voguing came from the underground ballroom scene in NY where Gay men and trans women were competing in Voguing. It’s steeped in Black LGBTQ and Latino LGBTQ history. Madonna saw this incredible underground scene and made a song about it, and we all ate it up, but let me be clear, Voguing was predominantly from the gay and trans black community and other communities of color doing their own thing when the white mainstream crowd would not let them into their society. It is part of your history ethnically if not sexually xox Also some of those male dancers she plucked out of that underground scene for the video.
