Donna De Lory & Niki Haris Sing Madonna's RAIN at NYC Green Room 42

[@martianmonk]

When you hear the two ladies singing together, rather than doing backing vocals, you realise and appreciate just how much they added to the 'Golden Age' shows - Blonde Ambition, Girlie Show etc.

[@TB-om4dd]

Great! They are missed on Madonna's tours

[@cherday]

Donna sounds a lot like Madonna. That is why she chose her for her live tours. She backed her voice.

[@AndreUtrecht]

yes, my first thought also ...

[@roxanemontegna9867]

I agree and heard it right away on "Nothing Really Matters."

[@astrolabe1976]

Gardner Cole who wrote Open Your Heart was Donna’s boyfriend at the time and she allegedly sang the Open Your Heart demo

[@mikehyde5714]

That was the best version I ever heard!

[@nikomona]

What a powerful duo. So good that they still perform together! Wonderful rendition! 🌧☀🎶

[@TJD63]

We needed this.....

[@ajbartley3432]

Goosebumps! I was third row on December 1st 1993...just left of the catwalk.... This is pure Feels!

[@luiseduardog.provensi5621]

THEY ARE WONDERFUL ❤

[@DrRoss-eq6zv]

I used to always sing the harmony with a good friend at a Pier in the evening under the moon years ago, the memories are forever etched in my heart and soul forever! Thank you so much!✌💖🙏

[@FirstLast-dy4gt]

Christopher St pier?

[@thevalkyrie8]

@@FirstLast-dy4gtno way it can’t be the same pier… I need to know… is it?

[@FirstLast-dy4gt]

@@thevalkyrie8 oh idk I asked… I was there over the weekend

[@DeanTailor]

I was at the opening night of the Girlie Show tour at Wembley and remember that Rain performance so clearly and it sounded so good, even outdoors, in that old stadium. And looking at Donna, it came back to me that I'd met her a few years before that at the Truth or Dare premiere and she signed my ticket (it was and A5 card with Madonna lying across the bed). I still have it somewhere. Completely forgot about it until now.

[@DecJackson]

Love you gals. I loved you back in the day as much as I loved M

[@User45gtl65kml]

It is Magical, soft and absolutly talented voices. You are beautifull and it is a new way to sing it. ❤ Beautifull

[@hellobecky84]

Absolutely breathtaking, thank you for posting. Have been listening to "Rain" since I was a kid, but this Niki and Donna arrangement is something else.

Beautiful 🫶🫶

[@TitanicTab1986]

The original girls singing a fav song of mine. To bad they do not tour with Madonna anymore. They were the terrific trio IMO

[@redmuttly75]

madonna should have these ladies back with her.

[@richardomahony8865]

Phenomenal! Goddesses!

[@markstar6056]

Madonna and Shep Pettibone wrote this song. N&D did a lovely version ❤

[@markstar6056]

@joewhoa1759 some people may not have known that Madonna was involved in the writing of this song. No need for sarcasm.

[@nmacmac1857]

Do you see the light you can always call my name and I'll be there. Niki

[@MonsieurBrideau]

These two are amazing! This is their song just as much as Madonna's.

[@boyculturedotcom]

They sing it amazingly, but I mean, Madonna & Shep wrote it, Madonna recorded it. I think it's her song being given a beautiful cover.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@boswellaserrata9180]

Painful truth that sometimes, back up singers have better singing voices than the actual singer. Donna and nikki are fine singers.

[@zentlimx]

Yes, obviously the back singers are waiting the moment to be the lead singers and not all have the opportunity to bright. But meantime make the sings so much better with this wonderful voices and whispers 😊

[@roxanemontegna9867]

Please, please do a record together!!!

[@glennmckenzie1096]

Awesome performance - glorious voices. But why the hell did the engineer drown them in reveb - or is that the sound print of that room?

[@boyculturedotcom]

No, there definitely was a lot of reverb anytime they sang.

[@glennmckenzie1096]

@@boyculturedotcom Interesting - it's an amount you might use for backing singers, but certainly too wet for leads.

[@richanthon]

where is there guest spot on Celebration tour?? Wasted op Guy Oseary!!!

[@alliestrachan2188]

Both great but Donna definitely sounds like Madonna

[@JM-xq2zo]

Hey everybody, love these two, great vocal and band but was wondering,after all the drama involved do they have the permission to sing Madonna songs?, just asking…

[@boyculturedotcom]

They don't need specific permission, and it is unlikely Madonna signed off, but she and her management are well aware of their act and their show, and they were invited to see Madonna and placed in the front row at the end of the catwalk.

[@JM-xq2zo]

@@boyculturedotcom I see. So Madonna and her team let these two stars singing her repertory, that’s nice. Thanks for replying🫶🏽

[@rickchristman1898]

Very much not as good without Madonna
