With Donna and Nicki in Girlie Show it is absolutely spectacular. Will really blow you away. They harmonize beautifully!

[@robertfraser9873]

I saw the Girlie Show at Wembley Stadium in London on the 2nd night of the world tour. There were no spoilers in the newspaper until Monday morning. So we saw the show on Sunday night and had no idea what to expect. The live version of Rain with Donna and Nikki was/still is incredible. The harmonies of the 3 voices was something I had never heard at an M show before. You must watch and react to the live version of Rain from 1993. ❤❤🎉🎉

[@Xfile1947]

So true!

[@grazmsp2473]

My favorite Madonna reaction! The mix between the daughter who is a bit newer to Madonna vs the mom who grew up with Madonna is just amazing. Thank you ladies for this reaction!

[@Marc-zi5cq]

I agree! And you'd need to be an alien to not like their personalities, so likeable!

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Aww, thank you so much - That's very kind. ❤️❤️

Madonna's '90 videos were on a completely different level.

[@davidyoung7276]

Two words… Girlie Show….Can’t wait!!!❤

[@Brutallic]

Another great reaction! You gotta appreciate that this video is literally 30 years old and still looks amazing as if it was made today. Madonna is always known as this big pop star (which she is) but a lot of her biggest fans know her ballads is where it’s at! ❤️

Its is reported that the video was actually shot in black and white, and then the frames were hand painted one by one to highlight the colors.

Absolutely beautiful Madonna, beautiful video, song and reaction!! Thank you ladies!! 💙💙

[@timothydeweese6931]

Public perception is a funny thing. When Erotica was released as the first single there was so much backlash. It really killed the sales of this album. I feel if Rain had been the first release, she could have gotten about 2 million more albums sold.

[@Marc-zi5cq]

Oh yeah definitely. She was coming superstrong being probably at an all time high in terms of sales and popularity in 1990/1991 and 1992 gave her another #1 with This Used To Be My Playground without any performances and big promotion by Madonna. The Erotica video really just wasnt what people expected and the whole backlash happened but it could have been easily avoided if they put Rain, Deeper and Deeper and Bad Girl as the first three singles and maybe save Erotica til last so the album could have done its sales and the main focus was on other singles. On the other hand, it made Erotica all the more iconic and its so Madonna to go with the most provocative song and video first. ;)

[@timothydeweese6931]

@@Marc-zi5cq yep. It's why she is still around making money now! She played the long game.

[@seany3303]

That last shot with the umbrellas is just stunning.

[@Johnnyboytoy12]

Yessss! Iconic!!!!

[@YesThatNeal]

Rain, Oh Father, and Spanish Eyes are three of Madonna's best. She creates fantastic pop songs, but her ballads steal my heart.

[@MsRadar23]

Madonna said this was dedicated to Karen Carpenter, one of her biggest influences, I can definitely hear it in her lower register

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Love that! Karen Carpenter had such a special voice. ❤️❤️

[@peaceisnature]

I think this could be Madonna's best song ever! It's perfect!

[@hollandjwm]

Another fantastic Madonna video directed by a now famous Hollywood auteur, the great Mark Romanek. Madonna sure could recognize talent.

[@blueeyes4910]

The actor who plays the director of the video is Riyuichi Sakamoto, a well-known music composer of many films who unfortunately died recently

[@briandubois-gilbert8182]

Yes, this gem also escaped me the first time it came out-but until a retrospective recently, just like you, it’s now one of my fave ballads. Madonna is a deeply poetic lyricist and a true romantic at heart, and she emoted the sentiment of this song so beautifully. And those eyes, they’re windows into a great artistic spirit that animates her persona. Great art transcends time-this video is 30 years old-but the elegant production makes it feel like new. This is the beginning of her affinity with Japanese culture-she’d be producing more spectacular videos in the coming years after this era featuring Japanese influence on her artistry such as in Nothing Really Matters, Paradise Not For Me, others. For the live version, you’ll cover it in her Girlie Show tour. ❤your captivating admiration of her artistry.

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Thank you! ❤️❤️ And yes, it's incredible that this video is 30 years old. It's perfection, even by today's standards. ❤️

I love how you both really GET the songs and really appreciate the lyrics ❤ As a few have said, the live version from The Girlie Show is iconic!! Nikki & Donna recently re-recorded it as one of their favourite moments from being on stage singing with Madonna. I’m super excited to see your reaction to The Girlie Show 🤩

This has to be one of the most beautifully written and performed songs in Madonna extensive catalog yet it’s so underrated and slept on by radio and public. It just baffles me. And ladies I’ll say it again the performance of this song on the Girlie Show is just stunning… Waiting for the Girlie show reaction. Thanks for the video. Loved your thoughts and reaction.

Ladies, I have been waiting for this one! One of my faavorite Madonna ballads. Should have been a bigger hit than it was. She looks stunning, and her performance of the song on the Girlie Show tour is one of my favorite Madonna live vocal performances ever. Sooooooo good. She will continue this same type of look for her next released video "I'll Remember" (which is another great ballad).

[@FranklinDeLuna-wg8vo]

It will be perfect if your react next to the I’ll remember video. I’ll remember Is a Madonna song she made for a movie soundtrack not included in Erotica or any other album I believe. Maybe is included in the album Something to Remember together with I want you ( a ballad recopilación album you must have a look at) her esthetic in I’ll Remember is very similar to Rain, and it is a beautiful ballad

[@Vertigotheatre1]

A great song. She's just performed it on her new tour as well.

[@Colm1977]

I remember when Madonna was promoting the Erotica album and gave and interview on BBC radio 1, she played a selection of songs and spoke about them. It was the first time I’d heard Rain and I absolutely fell in love. She explained that it was based on Wuthering Heights and the love story between Cathy & Heathcliff. I was thrilled as I was studying the book at the time and also happened to be a massive Kate Bush fan. In the video when she’s wearing the white dress it’s her homage/reference to Cathy and Kate Bush

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

What a great story! And how fortunate that you were studying the book at that time. ❤️❤️

[@dariusn7934]

Another wonderful reaction - one of her most gorgeous videos and so glad she’s revisited this on the new tour

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️

PERFECT SONG🎉 AMAZING REACTION LADIES❤❤

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️

[@Blogodiseablog]

This video had a special technology (back in the day) for treating the appearance of blue color, that's why it's so special. I never realized that this video was trying to highlight a vulnerable side of Madonna, but it makes sense in hindsight. A very interesting point from Emily's analysis is that rain is always treated as something negative or depressive, but it is true that in this song it is perceived as love and life. Very good analysis as always, girls.

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️ And yes, the blue is just beautiful in this video (definitely enhances the feel of it). ❤️

Gorgeous song and video. The chaise lounge Emily admired is a pretty iconic piece of furniture design....the "Lockheed" by Marc Newson. Its made of aluminum! Originals have sold at auction for millions of dollars. Great fashion as well. Very influential Japanese minimalism by Comme des Garcons and Yohji Yamamoto.

I'd wait for all the dark clouds bursting in a perfect sky? You promised me when you said goodbye That you'd return when the storm was done And now I'll wait for the light, I'll wait for the sun Best part of the song. I sang along so loud during the Celebration tour when she did this! Fifth Erotica single, song and video are soooo pretty! According to an interview of Madonna, this was the only Erotica video, MTV really played alot. Didnt do too badly peaking at #14 in the US as the final single and inside the UK top 10.

The lyrics of this song are just gorgeous. ❤️❤️

I think you should react to Bye Bye Bye live from the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards. Bye Bye Baby didn't have an official video but it was a single. And that performance is great.

[@coolhive2941]

Exquisite video. I love it! There’s also a radio mix where the overlapping spoken word part is… detangled. If that makes sense. They removed the overlapping, and just had it more audible.

[@DanielCostadaSilva]

Rain is definitely a fan favourite. Madonna last sang it live in 1993. It appeared as a video interlude in 2008 during the sticky & sweet tour, and finally made a comeback as a live track in 2023 in the Celebration Tour. The theme “water” appeared a few times in her work, such as in rescue me and wash all over me. This was one of the easiest and quickest tracks to record and finish while producing Erotica and was chosen as a single very early. Now the funny part is: you two are wearing striped sweaters that pretty much look like the one Madonna wore for… wait for it… the photo shoot for the Rain single cover! 😂 I don’t know if it was a coincidence, so if it was, just Google Madonna herb Ritts 1993 and you’ll see what I’m talking about 😅

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

We just looked up the photo shoot - Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!! 😂😂 That is too funny!! Well, at least we were on point for this one. 😂

the video was filmed in black and white. the colorization was added digitally. all in all, the music video is stunningly elegant

[@taintedlife2618]

I’ve read this also, but why would they color the b roll footage? I guess maybe because they didn’t know what parts they would use originally? Yall gotta start looking at the Madonna b roll footage out there.

@@taintedlife2618 the B roll footage of Rain is amazing! like a brand new music video! The same for Vogue B roll footage

Great reaction. I believe this song hit #14 or # 11 on the billboard singles ....I was surprised it never went top ten. Though it's previous song "BAD girl" didn't crack the top 40.....or barely. Though "erotica" hit #3 and "Deeper and Deeper hit #4. I am a charts guy👍👍👍👍

Thank you! ❤️❤️ And thank you for sharing those stats - Can't believe it didn't make the top ten!

[@sixtiesfreak4858]

I remember when this video came out in 1993, it didn't get a lot of requests on MTV and was sort of a dud in terms of video airplay. From what I've read, many people were more into grunge at the time..😏

Great reaction as always from you two ladies! The inspiration for the song was Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights after Madonna read and fell in love with the novel's characters. As a side note, Ryuichi Sakamoto, who was a famous Japanese musician/ composer/actor, and who unfortunately passed away this year, played the director in this video. Madonna looks so beautiful in this video and this new haircut is the Segway to the Girlie Show Tour hair aesthetic. Looking forward to your reaction to that. Keep up the great work❤

So nice to see your reaction to my favorite Madonna song too!! When I evangelize people on Madonna, Rain is always a topic. I think what makes me love it even more is the combo with the live version from the girlie show that you will get to see. What’s interesting to see is a newer generation like Emily having the opportunity to see how much Madonna has done. The newer generations tend to see her just like and old woman trying to get attention.

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️ It's truly such a beautiful song. ❤️

[@josemartin2903]

You Will love the live versión From girlie show 😜

[@PerryCJamesUK]

The song Rain is reported to be inspired by Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, which also inspired our very own Kate Bush and gave her, her first Number One single in the UK. When it comes to my favourite female singers, it's the big M, Kate Bush, Bjork and if I am feeling in need of a merry, innocent, skip down memory lane, PWL era Kylie Minogue. But Madonna and Kate are the ones I always return to.

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Thank you for sharing that Wuthering Heights was the inspiration - Very interesting! ❤️❤️ And Kate Bush. ❤️

Hi ladies. So glad you like this video, it is stunning and it still looks so modern.

There is a level poetics in the lyrics of the song. A refined aesthetic in the video. Madonna was simply too much for the average audience. I'm sorry to say but only the male and female homosexual population in the world (and intelligent heterosexual women) have had the courage and been able to follow and fully understand Madonna. In the meantime, average taste has definitely deteriorated, people are exposed to widespread mediocrity.
