[@MrSteedfast]

True story: I’m one of the students playing violin and she was very gracious! The program is called Opus 118 Harlem School of Music and they are STILL in East Harlem public schools teaching music. You can find their website and support if you want!

[@josen1223]

That’s awesome!!👏 you all did great

[@Patricia-vs4dd]

Bravoooo Lucky you!!!

[@martinburgess]

That's so cool! Madonna got me to look into the incredible work that Opus 118 does, and I've been donating every year. Their music program is amazing, providing instruments and lessons to aspiring musicians and creating incredible performances for all to enjoy. I encourage everyone to Google Opus 118 and donate a little to keep this fantastic program going!

[@MrSmriley]

But you only pretended to play.

[@MrSteedfast]

@@MrSmriley hmmm there was definitely a man on synth adding lower strings, but we were actually mic’d and playing! We performed with her several times that year as she was in-discussions to play our violin teacher in a film (which ultimately went to Meryl Streep)

[@AdamRuthven]

Madonna demanding him to give credits to the band, so sweet.

[@caseymroot]

The band isn't even playing... she's singing to the album track without a doubt. So the band is just pretending to play. I assume they did the same for the actual show. I've seen it done before. It's ridiculous.

[@DJKidbilly]

@@caseymroot How can you not see the people playing their instruments? So you think that drummer is not actually hitting the cymbal? Hey, I'll switch out my guitar even though I'm not actually playing it.

[@zenabraithwaite1934]

​@@caseymrootIt's live. Yes there is some backing track, but it's live.

[@caseymroot]

I listened again and have a different opinion. The album track is playing but I can hear some live instruments contributing, like the percussion. Basically the live musicians are contributing to the track but not in a substantial way. That's what it sounds like to me. They're trying to make it seem like it's a completely live performance, but it's not. I am a stickler for singers/bands trying to mislead audiences. (Lip syncing being another obvious example.) I don't like when singers try to mislead me. It's deceitful and cynical. That said, she sounds good and it's a beautiful song.👍

[@ghost_emre_a7710]

Madonna with dark hair is something else ❤

[@mermaidlu5125]

Love it

[@TheSatriowelang]

Elegant Madonna.. Mature, Deep, Romantic and Beautiful! The Goddes of Pop! Anyone agree?

[@samuelguler]

I don't think I have ever heard her sound this incredible and shows how talented she really is without help in the studio. And I don't think she has ever looked better this is my absolute favorite Madonna.

[@jasondotson9035]

Watch Sooner or later from the Academy awards. Or Don’t me Argentina from “Sticky, and Sweet tour”, or “You Must Love Me” from the Oscars. That’s another Evita track that only Madonna sang. Plus, she’s had many many others.

[@Blue-rz7rm]

This was my favorite Madonna era. I miss the late 90’s early 00’s

[@anastasiyatalatay8353]

Same:)

[@breebartkowiakova]

I really love late '90s and early 2000s Madonna. I feel like this was a time when she was in her prime as an artist and also in her physical appearance. I thought she looked so beautiful in this era. I also think she would have aged really beautifully if she didn't do all the plastic surgery and fillers and just took really good care of herself.

[@danielhennessey4282]

She’s always better in the rehearsals for TV performances, she really does get nervous. This is amazing

[@ismaelattrache4117]

This is just what I was gonna say

[@jasondotson9035]

Except for “Sooner or Later” at the Oscar’s 1990 or 1991…

[@richardprofe]

@@jasondotson9035 I wish we could watch rehearsals of "Sooner or Later"

[@chocolatnoir1108]

I looked for this comment. this is more beautiful than the live one. well it is what it is and I am glad to have Madonna from Ray of Light era❤

[@MonarchButterfly.]

Because she is not a "good" singer but a good performer she knows her limits

[@perlazywicz4684]

In this Era the voice of Madonna is AMAZING. Perfect job, great details in the songs. Good voice, edm sounds ok, good mix.

[@ternitamas]

she was training her voice a lot for the Evita movie, which clearly shows in the Ray of light album which is a gem, her best album IMO

[@luishernandezblanco2118]

Loved how she stopped the rehearsal to ask for everyone to be introduced

[@susanwangcfa3685]

That's not why she did it. She did it because she wanted to recreate exactly how the live show was going to be (with exactly the words the introducer was going to use.)

[@taintedlife2618]

@@susanwangcfa3685and also the kids should be respected so you would be the fool to think she wasn’t trying to impress upon those kids that they should be respected.

[@brite1217]

@@susanwangcfa3685Madonna is a very gracious and humble performer when sharing the stage with others. Especially those she has specifically invited. She wanted perfection sure but she also wanted them to get the respect they deserved. Both can be true.

[@MrSteedfast]

I was one of the students playing violin and she was definitely adamant that we were properly introduced!

[@BaddiR]

She looked so beautiful ❤

[@markryanbu]

"No! Stop.. You have to..." - fkn classic Madonna, couldn't make that up.

[@tita4ewaz]

Brunette Madonna just hits different. I love it. This was her ultimate era imho. Never seen this. Thank you for posting Dan!

[@strawberrysoda4395]

I'm crying she looks like she doesn't belong from this world Unique and stunning

[@judygarland7611]

This is probably my favorite song by her ever. I cried a million tears to this song, over a girl named Lisha. She tore me up inside.

[@JB-pl1iu]

"The boys can wear dresses to if they want. In fact we prefer it." God I love her.

[@user-kf8wb2cq4f]

That doesn't surprise me in the least.

[@Blink.M2Dev]

Wow, amazing, she does look best with dark hair. She is still amazing, always will be.

[@kathy2157]

Her true color of hair. She's brunette

[@carlossarcos415]

Siempre he pensado lo mismo....

[@mbh76]

She looks beautiful

[@jesuismieux0136]

SHE LOOKED ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AND STUNNING AF ❤

[@MarLukacs]

The most beautiful song ever and a great performance! Thank you for this!

[@michaelmcdonald2326]

She sounds great. Don’t know why she never performs this live

[@PossiblyProbably]

Oh fuck yes! I LOVE THIS! This has to be up there with Bad Girl on SNL and Sooner or Later from the Oscars as one of her all time best vocal performances.

[@zenabraithwaite1934]

Bad Girl I think is my favourite Madonna song and Rain.

[@marcsa8720]

never thought of madonna as a good singer, but i respect that she always sounded like her records and she sings live!

[@taintedlife2618]

Well think again. Discounting great singers because they aren’t Mariah or Whitney is so tired. Michael and Prince never get this kind of disrespect. Madonna is not trying to be Aretha. I’m sure there are gospel singers that level Mariah and Whitney too. Madonna is and always will be the greatest and she is a great singer.

[@brite1217]

Madonna also has never claimed to be a great singer. She’s said she had something to say as an artists

[@lesterdavila6252]

Quienes saben de canto, pueden ver que Madonna no desafina, no cala las notas, las coloca exactamente igual que el disco. No es necesario tener un rango vocal gigante para ser un buen cantante, hace falta hacer lo que ella hace!

[@JardsonJean]

Madonna is an amazing singer and for the longest time she sang live even during high intensity choreos

[@LLucioFabio]

She has the same vocal range as Jennifer lopez

[@sashabertold3731]

❤ her voice so soothing

[@user-cy6wm4ts8j]

Madonna looked so futuristic and ahead of her time during the ROL era. At the same time classy and exquisite. I was still yet to enter the school back there to like her music or even remember her as a genius artist (became a fan in the early 2000s), and it makes me wonder what it was like to witness Madonna at the peak of her beauty, art and career. ROL was truly a rebirth for her.

[@c.t.4837]

She looks amazing.. I see Lourdes ❤

[@valentinavrhovec1124]

Jako je lijepa bila, to je ona kakvu sam najviše voljela..

[@ramirenriquez6795]

There are times when I thank algorithm for its suggestions and this is one of them.

[@soozshooz]

I love how she ‘respectfully’ reminded the announcer who was really large & in charge and it wasn’t HIM. He was quite condescending, silently rolling his eyes as he did it “ Her Way”. Hope she canned him. The orchestra was brilliantly talented, wow! So young & already that amazing! God bless them all!

[@user-wi9dy9wz3e]

This was the period after using a vocal coach. Madonna suddenly started hitting the notes! She proved it in this segment!

[@Datenmeer]

Much better than at the MTV Europe Awards.

[@TheOnlyVance]

Terrible vowel to sing when ascending into head voice but otherwise the vocals were strong here her upper register was particularly strong! So tired of the criticism that she isn’t a good singer but those who know, know.

[@seanp7dc]

@@DeuDeoEgo It's easier for her to sing "Hi-yerrrrrrrrr!" like that as it comes from the mouth rather than deep in her chest, or in the back of her throat/head voice (like the album version). I agree it's a shame.

this is when she was considering doing Music Of The Heart, which ended up going to Meryl Streep, that's why she had the kids with her

[@franciscolaprida2133]
