Madonna is the only one still alive of the mega-super-pop stars of the 80's

[@ehla0144]

Loove my diva Madonna and I know this was in honor to Prince, her friend, the songwriter, the artist. This song, though, will live forever thanks to Madame Sidnead O'Connor. RIP Beautiful and always misunderstood Irish warrior.

[@alabaster193]

In my opinion, Sinead did it best. Her voice was ethereal. May she rest in peace with her son.

[@UltimoDogLover]

Sinead the best. And then Pink. But this was a nice tribute to Prince and she did well.

Really this comment it’s not a contest🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

[@kristianberg4264]

Why do people always go after madonna’s vocals? I mean, for Christ’s sake, give this woman credit, she went from singing lucky star to the score to Evita!! Does she ever get due credit for her immense vocal growth? Nope, they keep trying to insult her legacy. Madonna was I’m sure, quite emotional and nervous and think she did a beautiful & heartfelt tribute to her friend.

[@petamalart849]

I grew up loving Madonna, as a teen I found out her goal was to play Evita about 10 years later it happened and it was magical, she was magical but she got her dream and should have left on that high, everything now just seems so try hard....and trust me I hate saying that

[@eduardochavacano]

its usually some her moronic fans who cant get over that one interview where Madonna while playing humble said she doesnt have a great voice and that she is about having a view point. Those aged Fairies just wont shut up about that concept because they think they are the only people allowed to be madonnas because they’ve been busting their asses since the Boderline video, while other fans were still in day care centers or pre school.

[@kerryholland4822]

Her voice is outstanding

It's easy to hate on Madonna. Few segments of society appreciate female sexuality. It must be viewed through the lense of male sexuality.

Cyndi Lauper was bigger Icon than Prince, who was not known in Asia. Cyndi Lauper with She Bop and Girls Just Want To Have Fun conquered the whole Asian continent. Before Madonna ruled the world with Like A Virgin.

[@Elena-er7zp]

@@eduardochavacano Interesting. I was in the US and while Lauper was popular, Madonna was much more so.

[@shockalockabocka]

People keep questioning why Madonna. On her Like a Prayer album, which is considered a legendary concept album, Prince played electric guitar and vocally backed her on a couple, very experimental for the time, songs. She reached one of her many creative peaks, and no one was doing what she was doing, and Prince helped push her there.

[@johnsmitts21]

I agree. It’s intersting how her and Sinead were treated for bringing up important issues with their albums during this time.

[@shockalockabocka]

@@johnsmitts21 Madonna's quote, "be what men expect you to be, but more importantly be what women expect you to be around other men." She owned this, and that's why she was able to camo herself in her styling. It's fucked up bullshit but they had the same message in the end ab activism. Sometimes u have to look like the opposition so they see some kind of sameness so they realize how stupid they are. Sinead wasn't something the world was used to looking at and that's why she was the scapegoat.

You can say all you want about Madonna, she’s probably not vocally talented as others but the the emotion she gives when she signs live and her charisma are unmatched. The only one left of a legendary pop trio. Love her ❤️

[@eduardochavacano]

if she doesnt great vocals, no one would be stupid enough to cast her Evita and she is the best Evita of all time. Plus she has more than Aretha Franklin in her recording of Love Dont Live Here Anymore. If you come to Asia, you will dozens of little girls in rice fields who can beat Mariah and Whitney Huston. There are hundreds of Gay comedians who can hit the high notes of Celine Dion and sing like black singers. But No one has ever dared to impersonate Madonna. Because they cant copy her singing voice. Not one Pop icon in Asia would dare sing Frozen or Live To Tell. They cant even sing Ray Of Light or Vogue. Even Like A Prayer. But Mariah songs and Whitney songs those are Staple in every small town singing contest. Any gay kid can sing Hero or I Will Always Love You. No one would sing Rain or Secret. Because they wont sound good. Now this gospel to everyone.

[@Merboy007]

I never understood why there are folks out there saying that her vocals were "horrible". I thought they were emotional and raw. Very heartfelt. They added so much depth to the tribute. She sounded good. I don't think its fair to compare Prince's version, Sinead's version to Madonna's. They were all sooooo different and sung by 3 completely different singers. With different ranges, styles and voices.

[@adam17ification]

Her voice is better in ray of light ..because the good singer has this vibration echo .her music involves techno/electronic which she use in music album ,so this era she’s use lip sync performance..that’s why some other though she’s bad/horrible singer ..

I mean,honestly, how the hell do you do it? Thank you for your continued efforts and standards! The respect you show to Prince in this rendition is exceptional.

If you had heard that song life in the 90' when it was performed by Sinead o'Connor you would understand that this is a song better not to be done by any lower standard than that :-o and even Prince did this song (his song) beter than Madonna ! + there is something else going on here today , for the last few years and that is politics ! Madonna is into the occult => sadly she should not perform this because Prince wanted to brake free from the slavery and bullshit from that power ! that's why he was a rebel tafkap with SLAVE writen on his face (remember?) . Madonna has devoted her life to be a "bitch" => she is not for freedom she's controled by the occult and has to obey into that mindcontrol culture (hollywood , Netflix etc.) . being "WOKE" is not being AWAKE => there is a difference => i do understand the many reasons why she should have left this song alone ! go out there and study the path because i've lived it and i know why . good luck ;-)

I don't know why but this performance got me emotional, more than others I've seen giving him a tribute. And even if it's not 'good musically to my taste' (except for Stevie's voice, still so good after all these years wtf). I like the creativity choices they made with the beat on NC2U, Prince was all about not replaying the past, so it felt right to feel a bit more creativity peaking into this cover. Then I would have never expected Stevie joining Madonna. Stevie and Madonna both represents a part of Prince's music, outside of his music those parts rarely meet, and so watching this, it felt right to see them together, it holds a lot of spiritual meaning, not only in regards to Prince, but in regards to all the things that are for no reason segregated, and don't get a chance to meet...

[@eduardochavacano]

I’m sick of hearing this Moronic statement that Madonna doesnt have a great voice. Madonna on one interview played humble by saying that she doesnt have a great voice, 1 interview. And Madonna fans proud to have seen that interview in their Black and White TV set, never stop using it as Reference for a Biblical truth. This thought is Moronic for approximately 24 reasons. By I shall give you one. A great voice is not merely hitting high notes, Whitney can’t whistle! If its just Vocal range then Celine and Mariah will perish before Cyndi Lauper who can break glass with her screech. But Cyndi is not like Celine who sounds like a goat getting strangled. Point is, hitting high notes is so common. 9 out 10 transgender drag queen in places like Manila can mimic Mariah and Celine. But not one gay person in such society has ever attempted to sing like Madonna. For several decades, Filipinos on Television can sing like famous Pop Divas (gay impersonators). But Madonna being the #1 gay icon, not one person can copy her. I might decide to make history soon.

Impecável não... No máximo boa.

[@matheussurvivor]

@@kaiquecruz3099 impecável sim, boa são as que vieram depois dela

[@kaiquecruz3099]

@@matheussurvivor Vocalmente está bem longe de ser impecável. Não há problema em admitir isso. Apesar que vc admitindo ou não ela continua sendo mediana vocalmente.

@@kaiquecruz3099 e mesmo assim insuperável e rainha do pop!

[@leoa7338]

@@kaiquecruz3099 ela está com quase 60 anos ai, cobrar vocais perfeitos de uma performer (que não tem vocais como prioridade) de uma mulher de 60 anos é covardia… Pegue ela nas performances da Oprah em 1998, no Oscar de 1991 ou de 1997 ou nas primeiras turnês, apesar de ser uma performer e dançarina quando ela foca nos vocais ela é uma grande vocalista sim

I remember the media saying her performance was bad but I thought she rocked it!!! Great ballad singer!!! One of the best!!!

[@etienne1964it]

it doesn't even come close to how Sinead O'Connor sang it.

[@richardsholistics-manover4400]

[@AlexeBriand2002]
