MADONNA "Express Yourself" [Blond Ambition Tour]

[@MikeFortino]

I don’t think people understand how incredible this tour is. ALL of your favs would not be here, without this tour. No Britney, No Gaga, No Beyonce, No Taylor. She fought every single music industry executive to put this show on. She almost got arrested. She ushered in the broadway type of concert that gave you an immersive experience.

[@Swift_minus_one]

That's right. She was doing this when all of them were in the cradle. Of course no one imagined swift would become what she is now.

That's not very surprising. "Artists" today are very regular people with expensive clothes and a strong PR team. Artists back in the days were all unique personalities, and it showed in their art and on stage. Whether you take as different artists as Kurt Cobain, Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Madonna, Whitney, Prince..... these were very very unique personalities who didn't play by the rules. Ariana Grande, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Drake, Nicki Minaj.... these people are so random and replaceable.

[@miskaloupatreyu782]

@A A All artist cancels shows. She is like an athlete, always in shape but she is human and the high quality of choreography and her engagement in her shows can produce injuries. She is doing almost 100 shows, sometime without a day break between two shows. She could just stay there without moving or just sit (like Cher) but she is fully engaged in the show. If she cancels 10 shows of 100 its totally normal, whatever you are 30 yo or 61... just try to be in her shoes...of course, no one can! I just hope she won't cancel the show I have tickets for!!! ;)

She's not lip syncing here (she obviously did in other parts of the show), but she did have very elaborate backing tracks (I think she even complained about the mixing during a rehearsal or something, it's in the movie). Compare this to other performances of Express Yourself from the Blond Ambition tour and you'll see her vocals were nothing like in this clip.

I love how she’s a woman representing masculinity, while still maintaining femininity. I think a lot of people missed that she was playing with gender roles.

[@JuanRodriguez-jx6uv]

Conservative and religious people were fuming there was a woman expressing and using her sexuality as her art

[@tensacross]

thank you. that was her entire theme of her career at this point - reversing the gender hierarchy by projecting femininity as dominant.

[@EagleFang74]

I wouldn’t say anyone missed it. For one she’s Madonna so she’s hard to miss and she wore a men’s suit and grabbed her crotch. Not sure how you would not catch what she’s trying to say. It was discussed openly at the time. The debate over gender roles isn’t new in the slightest. She wasn’t the first to play with them. That’s not to shade her but she wasn’t the first. For instance, Marlene Dietrich did it in the 1930’s and Madonna has done tributes to her. What I think Madonna did well was to make it an artistic and quasi-political statement while at the top of her career - which was pretty daring of her.

lol...I crack up each time I see this, and how @ 4:03 the bassist includes himself in the choreography -- as if to give a shout-out to his 'boys' at home, then he simply hops back in with the band, not missing a beat. I have nutty friends that would do just that! Props to the bassist! Never was the biggest Madonna fan, but as the so-called 'music' business becomes more and more a joke, this single performance still remains one of the most energetic opening numbers I've seen-- regardless the genre of music. Regardless your opinion of her, Madonna-- in her prime-- was a more than credible all-around entertainer.
