All that moving, dancing, and really singing...no voice-overs, no lip syncing, no tapes to fill in....this is the real deal. To sing and be winded takes strength, stamina, and training. She is basically singing while leading an aerobics class! Amazing! I loved being in my 20s in the '80's! Best decade ever for music.

I disagree. Madonna used autotune very often, both in recordings and live performances. But I think she used it wisely and she can do it because she is professional. Very different from singers in the beginning using autotune every time they record or perform.

[@NoelSosadelaRosa-m7r]

Cuanta estupides jajajaja jajajaja diciendo que usaban autotune en ese tiempo no existía y su vos cambia cua do graban en estudio

[@CertifiedSadBoy]

@@talkingleds nah autotune did not start until the late 90s even for recordings. Even backing vocal tracks were not regularly used live back then because they were unreliable on tape. Unless it was a TV performance or taped performance artists sang live. This is true entertainment compared to many pop acts of today who do the bare minimum.

I’m 25 years old and I’ve always known about Madonna’s “hit songs” but after the release of Madame X (which I love), I really wanted to go back and explore her discography in full. I’m so glad I did because her albums are all different, some better than others. I really love Ray of Light and Erotica. Masterpieces. Bedtime Stories is good too. And of course Confessions for good dance music. I’ll be seeing Madonna for the first time in concert this October and I’m pumped. It’s always been on my bucket list to see this woman live. I want to cherish her while we still have her around.
