Vocal Coach Reacts to Madonna 'Sooner or Later' LIVE

[@milkyteawithbiscuits3555]

I adore Madonna’s tone her voice has so much character

[@jetsofaqua2206]

It really does, so colourful

[@NotJoegoldberg]

ya its emotive

[@razvantasca]

Love it too, for 35 years now... ICONIC performance! Best regards from Paris!

[@clintmitchell8816]

She’s criminally underrated as a singer. Part of the reason is her lack of confidence in her vocal ability. According to many, she just liked to go out there and let it rip. She was more interested in the whole performance. She felt she was adequate enough. This, and other performances, proved she had far more vocal ability than she gave herself credit for. I love her voice. No one can imitate her. No one can cover her songs and make you feel them like she can. When she is vocally on, I think her voice is among the most pleasant in the industry. There are many singers others consider technically better than Madonna who could never ever come close to the vocal performance she gave here.

[@soaribb32]

Underrated? Hm I don't think so.

[@feliciak9968]

Vocally; this was definitely one of her top 5 performances ever. She’s not just a pop star here, she’s a singer. Visually ~~ well what can you say, she’s Madonna for a reason. 💕

[@lilluci3900]

@Davide Luce no :)

[@AlexeBriand2002]

@Davide Luce she’s not the greatest singer but she definitely has some ability. otherwise she never would’ve been a singer, and she never would’ve been able to play the role of Evita.

[@yooowhatsgood]

with a bit more of security and confidence in her voice she could be considered a vocalist, the way she played so beautifully with her range during this performance shows so much versatility

[@aryansigrid]

@@AlexeBriand2002 And she's one of the TOP Female Singers of all TIME too. (Some people are so jealous that they can't see past their own hate.)

[@aryansigrid]

@@lilluci3900 Madonna has set World Records! The "Guinness Book of Records" for starters, with her Musical Career! -(If you don't believe me then just check it all out on Google). People don't understand that it's not all about Perfection like Perfect vocals etc. It's about the whole package & MADONNA Definitely has that, especially in this instance. 😁

[@johnclement9370]

Truly the performance of her life, Madonna is Evita!! That song is from the scene where she's rapidly dying and her body is preparing for death, and all she wants is validation of her husband's love before she leaves this earth, hence "You must love me." So much genuine emotion from Maddy, I got goosebumps in those few minutes of song, she deserves some much more credit than she actually gets. Arguably not the best technical singer, but definitely a songstress who emotes and connects with her audience, and that's why we love and adore and admire her for never giving up. Bravo!! (Standing ovation and endless applause)❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@johnclement9370]

...so much more...

[@moodyseb]

Chris Ciccone (her brother) said in his autobiography that she was nervous during this performance because she was performing in front of her equals and wasn't that sure of their adoration like when she's performing in front of her fans.

[@Chelaxim]

Also you could argue she saw them as her "superiors " since Madonna always wanted to be an actress and 1990 was 31 years ago so many of the people she name dropped in Vouge were still alive. So she herself was a fan of many people in that room trying to gain their approval.

[@dtaylor939]

@@Chelaxim She couldn't help but be nervous with all of the movie stars there she had grown up watching. Also, I'm sure she viewed this performance as an "audition" since she wanted so badly to be in more movies.

[@hyrumpereirabaker4547]

@Anderson Duran i mean, Michael was her date that night😅

[@aidanmorris2231]

also so she rehearsed it went well BUT on the live performance her mic was not working so they were like we need to switch your mic. her earing had clipped into her skin thats what she throws in the end. ugh she handled this so well

[@a.j.patron9214]

the remarkable thing about this performance was that it was 4 years before she had proper professional vocal training for Evita.

[@razvantasca]

True! But this performance comes from her heart, she was great! Loved Evita, think it was under-rated. RIP, Alan Parker! 🔥💖🌹

[@marianperez96]

And those belts kills me everytime!! She was soo good it’s my serotonin of the day

[@deantailor357]

That's not true. She's not classically trained but has taken vocal training pretty consistently throughout her career, most notably prior to recording the Like A Prayer album and it shows. Then publicly stating so prior to singing these Sondheim songs for Dick Tracy and most notably with Joan Lader for Evita.

[@GiuseppePascuale928]

Perhaps not the most popular opinion but I think the Evita training actually ruined her voice in the long term. She never sounded this unrestrained or sincere thereafter.

[@robbyk5343]

@@GiuseppePascuale928when she did the promos for Ray of Light, even during the same for Music, I did think back then that her 'live' voice sounded somewhat 'weaker', even though her range got wider (no musical training 'ere, so don't get annoyed ppl!...) there was a noticeable difference in the *quality* of her voice. but this 'weakness' was gone by the Re-invention Tour, and she sounds miles better today then in the '80/90s. compare Blonde Ambition to Celebration-you can't. she sounds AMAZING!

[@mylifeasmanta]

i've never been so early. madonna's voice is so so nice to hear

[@nicolasmilo2296]

Hey ! this another Best performance of Madonna : on KZbin : Madonna like a prayer live paris 1990 ❤️

[@dtaylor939]

I think her voice sounds really good when she sang "Don't Tell Me" on The David Letterman Show

[@graphiquejack]

Yes, she was definitely nervous. There are a couple of moments at the beginning when you can see her hands shake and her look nervously into the camera. The fact that she absolutely nails this performance being nervous is a testament to how good she is as a performer. A few things about this performance… her date was Michael Jackson who was sitting in the front row, and who she blows a kiss to at the end. The press lost their minds at the King and Queen of Pop together at the Oscars. She was nervous for several reasons. Of course, she wanted to be accepted in Hollywood and hoped this performance of an Oscar nominated song (it later won that night) would help her be accepted by the Hollywood elite and studio bosses. There were also some tech issues which must have thrown her off as well. Apparently there was an issue with the microphone stand or the mic itself and just before she was lifted up stage, someone told her there was no microphone there, or that the microphone stand couldn’t be lifted onto the stage. So Madonna thought she’d be on the stage live in front of millions and she’d have no working mic. Luckily that didn’t happen… I guess at the last moment they solved the issue but that must have rattled her. At the very end of her singing, because she’s taking her fur stole on and off repeatedly in the performance, it loosened one of her very expensive earrings and in a close up you can see it just hanging in her hair. She actually takes the earring and throws it into the orchestra pit so that it doesn’t get lost or come off completely as she continues the performance strutting off stage. I wonder if the earring was ever located… I assume someone collected it for her because she wore real diamonds on loan and it must have cost a small fortune.

[@praxmex]

She has a way big talent to turn things and make the performance work, since like a virgin at the MTV awards to the falling in living for love in the Brit awards, improvise!

[@staycurious644]

She was wearing 20 million worth in diamonds from Harrow Winston.

[@omgwth7567]

I heard Jeremy Irons kept the diamond that night. 😉

[@loganxfarmer]

I read about this earring toss a few years ago! She was wearing over 20 MILLION dollars worth of Harry Winston Diamonds that night in her jewelry, and it was all on loan from the Winston archive and they all had near heart-attacks when they saw her toss the earring into the orchestra pic. Later they were all more relived than they’d ever been before when she revealed to them she had worn crystal replicas of the jewelry during her performance and switched back after she was done because she suspected an issue would arise.

You need to watch the full performance from the very beginning when she makes her entrance coming out up from the floor trap door and does her seductive choreography takes off one of her gloves and the ending with her losing her earring that fell onto her hair and then she tossed it into the audience and does more vamping choreography. And you can check out her Blond Ambition Tour performance of this song too.

[@GoodSpiritBadBoy]

STANDING OVATION!!!! BRAVO to Madonna's brilliant performance!!!!

[@soundslike1life]

I've always loved this performance, and this was early nineties when she wasn't even aware of her entire range and wasn't necessarily able to utilize every part of it (she learned a lot about her range and singing technique in general when training for Evita later in the 90s). I think this performance is much better than You Must Love Me (as beautiful as that was) which was after she had had her lessons already. There's something more authentic in this. Her hand shook because of nerves, she admitted it later. It was her first live Oscar performance and it was the biggest live television audience she had ever performed for, and we all know how she is a perfectionist. But I don't mind the couple tiny "mistakes," her authenticity in this performance overrides them, and there's a kind of freedom in this that I really enjoyed. The entire I'm Breathless album that was inspired by the film Dick Tracy is excellent, although very underrated in her back catalogue. On that album she really tapped into a different type of musical genre and showed she can sing more than just pop music which she is very known for. I think people should listen to that album because it really showcases her vocal ability. She very much stepped into character (Breathless Mahoney) and interpreted every song on the album and did a brilliant job with it.

[@rayhoustonasl]

I've heard jazz singers killing this song. But hey, her voice is so recognizable, so unique. Not the best trained singer, but she's shown here that she can give a more than good performance. Also being the actress she is at heart, you just can't help but watch this in awe. Sondheim wrote this brilliant song. He was a genius. This whole album is a masterpiece to me.

[@clunkybootleg1357]

[@robsmith2647]

She did have vocal lessons for this album based on some of the people who wrote some of the songs on the soundtrack for Dick Tracy.

[@sergioampv1640]

It also shows on her vocals. I notice a vocal improvement from “Like A Prayer” album to “I’m Breathless”.

[@clintmitchell8816]

She did and she gave her best live performances after this vocal training for Dick Tracy. Live, Madonna’s voice was best 89-93. The BA tour doesn’t count as she had major throat issues almost the entire tour. She got training for the Stephen Sondheim songs which he said she did complete justice to. This performance is one of the best, not just for her, but from any performer. The was all around perfect- vocals, movements, look.

Georgiana, thank you for reacting to this video. The hand shaking you saw at the start was due to a mic issue at the start of the performance. As Madonna was ascending they informed her that the mic wasn’t going up. Thankfully they corrected that issue quickly and when she turns around the mic was there. Imagine turning around the no mic. Yes a stage crew would’ve probably ran and handed her a mic but still. Your critique was nicely balanced and glad to see you smiling and enjoying the performance. I’m from Texas so we know heatwaves very well. Many peeps without a/c stud frequent cool showers throughout the day to cool off. Five that a try & stay cool. 😎
