Madonna - Live To Tell (Official Music Video) REACTION

[@petervenkman69]

This in my opinion is the best song Madonna ever did.

[@ettevaatustproductions6164]

Just about my favorite Madonna song. Always felt like it was underrated.

[@nicolecolson182]

Agreed!

Yes! My favorite! And couldn’t agree more!

Yes I can go for that . It's a terrific song and the intro just takes me places. Even more so the 12 inch version that's on here somewhere. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn6WeXmFpdBprLM

People say she is not a strong vocalist but she always sounds amazing in all her many hit ballads. she actually has a very pretty voice.

[@JB-pl1iu]

She can't do vocal gymnastics like Whitney it Mariah but her voice is beautiful and perfect for the songs she makes. Madonna has made some of the most timeless ballads ever.

[@Surannhealz]

I remember when Brittany Spears was popular and people were saying she was the next Madonna. I thought compared to Live To Tell, Crazy For You, Oh Father, & Take A Bow, Brittany would never come close. Madonna was pop, but she had some very emotional songs.

[@en6278]

@@JB-pl1iu she is a great pop singer. Im always struck by all the different tones & textures she has even just in her ballads. Like in Spanish eyes her voice gets really gritty & raw in the chorus. It always hits me. Theres different categories of singers. The big power vocalists like Celine. then the more personality pop vocalists like Madonna. She is a chameleon who can lend her voice to so many different kinds of production. Celine cannot do that.

[@Opal_jen_X]

This song is incredible. The haunting composition mixed with Madonna's crystal clear pop voice and even the movie scenes chosen for different lyrics and sounds is nothing short of iconic. 🙌🏼.

[@atligunnar7101]

Yes, Patrick Leonard did great on this song

Madonna in the 80s was an absolute musical force to be reckoned with.

[@Nabhan82]

She's always been a musical force, shame people stopped listening during the last decade.

[@FutureLover83]

in the 90s too and up until 2001. Only in 2003 she started to decrease her commercial success (except for 2005-2006), but that's for ageism not because she didn't produce amazing music, which has consistently done (except for few single choices)

[@Mania28]

@@FutureLover83 definitely ageism has played a part. Radio stations don’t promote her music.

[@FutureLover83]

@@Mania28 exactly! but that's only in USA starting from 2001 and now in Europe too but only starting from 2012. In some european countries (Italy, Spain) she is still one of the most played artist in the radio, because in these countries they actually prefer older artists

[@jorkatabs1]

Madonna will be eternal

[@highheartwellness]

Wow, how is this song from 35 yrs ago! One of the best! Madonna's voice and conviction are incomparable in this one

[@Fixxer315]

One of my favorites from Madonna, this is a great song. This song had a maturity that wasn't found in her early songs (most of which were dance oriented), and in fact marked the beginning of Madonna's ongoing evolution.

Madonna and Janet Jackson are my absolute favorite artists of all time. I had the honor of seeing them both in concert and they DID NOT disappoint. Both of these ladies are a force to be reckoned with and have stood the test of time in more ways than one.

[@PatagonianWarrior]

Actually Janet was overrated though. I know she was a huge commercial success supperted by her brothers slipstream, but her portfolio was very limited and lets be honest... average. Would avoid putting her on a same level as Madonna.

Her mom died when she was a child. That is a big trauma. She hasn't had an easy life. though it might seem that way. I think it was Dennis Rodman who once said "It's not easy being Madonna". They had a relationship for a bit. But she is a hard worker, an amazign business woman, and very creative, she is kind of like a chameleon, she changes colors, she sheds her skin every few years. This is one of her best songs because it showcases her lovely voice and has a palpable nostalgia about it.

[@jennhurl]

"Justify My Love" or "Erotica" will REALLY surprise you. 🔥 When she played Evita Peron in the '96 movie "Evita" check out her cover of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina". These two songs are opposite ends of the Madonna spectrum.
