I saw in an interview that she explained that this performance was an integration between a Victorian Ball with the underground BALL. Thus, she dragged it out and lip-synched for her life as its custom in an actual ball. This is why she didn’t even bother to wear a mic. This women is so ahead of her time! The younger generation of LGBTQ+ will never fully understand why she is the Queen. This is House Mother realness!

[@julianseng4037]

The mother of all mothers!

[@michaelbonaiuto6968]

Actually this is 17th century French Baroque style

[@michelemdupre2558]

Actually this is showing the 16th Century not Victorian.

[@stonemiIker]

@@michelemdupre2558 well this is actually an 18th century cuz 16th century was the era where Queen Elizabeth the First lived. The dress that Madonna was wearing called robe à la française which was the fashion of European women in the Rococo Era

[@oki__]

@@michaelbonaiuto6968 The dress she’s wearing in the performance was worn by a character in the film Dangerous Liaisons (1988) which was set in 18th century France wearing the Rococo style fashions. Definitely not Victorian or 17th century Baroque.

[@Colm1977]

She announced before hand it wasn’t going to be live, she was recreating a Harlem vogue ball so they were all in their French revolution Marie Antoinette realness drag and she lip synced for her life just like a drag ball or as you saw in Pose. That what I love about Madonna, the small details.

[@niko092]

One of the best live performances on MTV awards. Two more Madonna live performances are on my top 10 ray of light and like A virgin / Hollywood

[@howtoapply3186]

No way she lip synced because it’s the drag thing to do. Like a lip sync for your life thing. I think it’s a huge costume and huge amazing production. She sang the song originally so it’s whatever. But she’s even said she’s not the best singer. I’m just saying I don’t think doing this production and singing live was an option... just saying;)

[@andrewthezeppo]

I think she always tries to sing live as much as humanly possible and yes she does have a microphone it is a headset.

[@MsHEDONIST]

@@howtoapply3186 no, the concept is the House of Madonna presenting Marie Antoinette realness at a ball; including the legendary children of the House of Extravaganza, Jose Gutierez Xtravaganza and Luis Camacho Xtravaganza. It was supposed to be lip-synced because back then lip-syncing at the ballroom was just being introduced. Madonna said of herself that she's not the best singer out there but that doesn't mean she's not a good singer. She is great acoustic. Her voice means a lot to millions. It doesn't matter who does it, I don't like Madonna covers, for example. Dame Shirley Bassey , who I adore, covered "You'll See" but did not give me what Madonna does when she sings. Singing is much more than having octaves and this old age saying that Madonna is not a good singer needs to stop.

[@Crazyshoppeuse]

@@andrewthezeppo No way. We are in 1990 and Madonna has to sing with a big mike if she wants to sing live. Imagine this performance with a big awful mike ! So she doesn't sing. It's a vocal registred and they added the fan noise. Madonna had to respect every single registred fan noise: HUGE !

[@celifacejones]

Pop music is what it is because of Madonna. She changed the entire genre and brought it to new heights for decades. Whatever everyone's fave is doing now, Madonna has already done it.

[@boomerz2478]

Amen

[@cjturner370]

Hallelujah!!!

[@theKarstenR]

The single most inventive and most perfectly executed performance on any award show EVER. It had never been done like that before and no one will ever be able to pull something like this off again.

[@titodude]

Everything she's done back then it was so calculated a perfectly executed. Her live presentations are memorable. Her "bed time" performance at the Brit Awards is also iconic.

[@emiliano.tercero]

There's no one like her, and never will be. HER MAJESTY. 👑

[@dandieelyon]

To me, this is hands down, her most Iconic performance ever. Watching it unfold live was so amazing. It still gives me goosebumps all these years later.

[@steverdms]

That performance stressed the hell out of me. So much room for mistakes, tripping in those dresses, etc. I remember when Vogue debuted, it was INSANE! That song exploded and the video was phenom! It was everywhere.

[@SJ-yh2di]

She’s the ultimate performer. She doesn’t look one bit unphased when Jose has stepped on her dress and just keeps going like it didn’t happen.

[@jean.rdoy11]

I always believed that was part of the performance!

[@kristianberg4264]

OH, I bet she was phased when they got backstage. Lmao😂😂😂

[@softshallow7435]

Can you believe this was only 7 years from 1983! Look how much she has evolved in them years. It’s like she’s been around for decades then.

[@satanslovechild4728]

Wow. So very true.

[@softshallow7435]

@Marvin Morawski the reason she looks and sounds so different from when she started in a small amount of time is because she didn’t follow trends she made them.

[@leodefine86]

Dereck, the dress she uses for this performance is worn by Glenn Close in the movie ‘Dangerous Liaisons’

[@mlo3784]

And Madge was a BIG fan of the movie - as we all were ;) #WAR

[@AmeriTerry]

@@mlo3784 It was also a big part in someone's video to - Annie Lennox- Walking on Broken Glass....

[@RogueWJL]

@@mlo3784 I think the routine was called the DANGEROUS LIAISON. Fabulous movie. Fabulous mask up.

[@tjohnnie01]

It wasn't live at all but of course that was the point. The performance was meant to be completely visual, like a Victorian style painting come to life. Iconic 😩

[@stevenedwards9171]

Johnnie Thomas totally, I mean, can you IMAGINE that performance ruined with a mic or headset?

[@TrevorPalmatiershow]

It was supposed to be lip synched just like the drag balls where voguing started. small details.

[@DavidTyler]

@@TrevorPalmatiershow plus it was MTV no one sings live on it

[@graphiquejack]

It’s French baroque, not Victorian which was at least 100 years later.

[@robinmeltzer9024]

I loved it when it first started and you were just like “Snapping. Fabulous. Fabulous.” Almost under your breath. Perfect.

[@charlesr63]

She killed it with the fans👏👏 so clever. This was an epic performance . She set a new standard that night.

[@muzicdejay]

One of the most icon MTV Awards shows ever! She absolutely killed this! Pure genius and perfection right there!

[@xoxxobob61]

It was a legendary performance.

[@MR-fx9gg]

Madonna is one of kind and there will never be another. It's so sad to hear people try to bully her and put her down because she has gotten OLDER? OMG god forbid a woman ages. all of her peers have died of some self inflicted tragedy but Madonna keeps working and inspiring people all over the world. I am obsessed with her last album MADAME X i literally listen to the album everyday

[@cjturner370]

That is a great album, Madame X.. I Love Her

[@vincentpatrick6911]

I was in grade nine highschool and whether you were gay or straight first thing in the morning in the cafeteria all students could talk about was this performance. All her live performances were talked about in my catholic highschool. We had a huge art program including drama so Madonnas videos were often dissected and discussed. There were a few Madonna wannabees who performed vogue during our yearly talent night and the gays always drew a crowd. My personal art work was always heavily influenced by Madonna from paintings of woman in corsets, heals, tight body suits, blonde ponytails and cleavage. My art teacher in grade 12 asked me in private if I had an obsession with breasts and cleavage (lol). Its funny because haters of Madonna would often say she wont last she keeps changing her identity and that she doesnt have her own. However reinvention became Madonna and that is how this one lone female has been able to remain relevant, powerful, adored and respected by literally everyone in the music industry. Yes bow down bitches! Another great vlog Derek😁👏👏👏❤💙💚💛💜

[@LatinTxGuy]

Madonna changed the way VMAs were performed. She raised the bar!

[@robinquinc329]

After this performance it was all downhill from there for the VMAs.

[@guynoyes5778]

One of the best live performances hands down. I've seen Madonna live at least 4 different times and she never disappoints.

[@TrevorPalmatiershow]

My friend Vince choreographed this after reading a biography about Marie Antoinette. The lip synch was on purpose, just like a drag ball. It wasn't supposed to have any live singing because of it. Small details. This was epic. Is not number 6 at VMAs. It's number 1. At least in my book.

[@niko092]

Nr 1 vogue Nr2 like A virgin / Hollywood Nr3 ray of light The best performances on mtv music awards !

[@user-zz6kl1lm4j]

I agreed with you this one should be number 1 ranks... I never see anyone can do better than this performance

[@garycambridge5513]

I love vince Patterson choreography- I would love to chat with him about his work with Madonna and MJ 😉😍

[@letsplay1965]

Derek it’s incredible you appreciate a performance from 30 years ago. It’s unbelievable how it’s held up to the test of time. This is Madonna at her best. I got shiver down my spine watching it. You can’t believe how incredible the reaction was when it was performed. One thing though, while the fan was taken from the French court theme, Fanning was huge in gay bars around the world in the 70’s and 80’s. I’m sure Madonna drew inspiration from that as well

[@moonstone1159]

That's a fantastic performance! VOGUE from the Sticky and Sweet Tour is one of my favorites.

[@danielskinner]

Good call about dangerous liaisons in fact Madonna’s dress is the exact same dress that Glenn Close wore in that movie

[@paulmendoza7232]

TRUE

[@theGovnr1]

Pure facts!

[@Matuteilcapo]

Her contenders, who won all the awards that night, are dead now, their careers don't exist anymore! Although The Queen remains at the top!!! #Legend #Icon #QueenOfPop

[@marianoprato7971]

All the girls of pop should (once again) thank madonna cause due to that injustice they could get awards. Until that year MTV NEVER recognized any popular artists. The awards were given to artists MTV referred as "artists with credibility" . They were popular but not too much or were considered as alternative artists. Never a pop star

[@trippytrellis7033]

How did she loose all the top awards that night and to whom?😳😷

[@marianoprato7971]

[@enriquemoon]

She crowned herself the queen 👑 this night

[@nunogouveia6458]

This performance was also part of MTV TOP 10 Most Memorable VMA Performances ever at #02 kept from #01 by Madonna "Like a Virgin" 1984 performance at the very first VMAs (this was voted the past decade the 10's). This was already 90's but 1990 so really early 90's. "Vogue" song was released in April and this performance was in early September (after her Blond Ambition Tour that was from April to August that year). This song and this performance certainly inspired a lot of later 90s songs and performances. She did not sing it live and that was assumed. This version is an edit from the 12" Club Remix (available for streaming on Madonna KZbin channel).

[@atoliver77]

She always strikes a different pose. 📸 💥 👑

[@jcapshaw]

I’m glad you’ve been checking out Madonna‘s live performances she’s amazing. Have you saw “what it feels like for a girl” from the drowned World tour? She sings it totally in Spanish it’s great.

[@AutoAlligator]

This was Madonna showing off. In 1990 she was at the pinnacle of her career. It was spectacular 30 years ago and has aged ok.

[@cjturner370]

It freaking Aged Great!!!

[@AutoAlligator]

@@cjturner370 She mimed the whole thing...most 'singers' now would be raked for pretending to sing over a backing track. But I take your point. It has certainly aged better than last months top 40 singles chart.

[@Tony_Tanori]

Madonna is the best!!!!

[@granamboy]

That performace herself was surpassed on her Re-Invention world tour. Vogue was the song of the opening and she did it remembering the MTV performance. The choreography that she did, one of the best I've seen. Dereck you can also search it for your reaction.

[@francisnguyen5700]

Never get tired of Vogue. This is the song that I started to discover Madonna music and artistry. Not only she has a unique voice and is a good dancer, but she is also such a great artist and performer.

[@HausOfYeyo]

Gracias por hacernos ver cosas que nos pasaron desapercibidas y que al volver a verlas, hacen que admiremos y respetemos más a Madonna y a tí.

[@alainroeroe8328]

For me this what perfomance should be, no matter if its live or not, but to do something iconic, others try but its looks cheap and easy to imitate, MADONNA is 100% just work and admire her , beacuse you see her real hard work, please react to MADONNA " Like a virgin blond ambition tour"

[@TheClairem75]

This isn’t Victorian, it’s Georgian 1700s - early 1800s. A year or two before this there was a film set in that period called Dangerous Liaisons which I think inspired this performance and also the video for Annie Lennox’s Walking On Broken Glass video.

[@MissAngie25]

Thank you, i was going to say, what’s victorian about this lol... this is French 1700s Aristocracy though Marie Antoinette was Austrian.

[@granamboy]

You can even learn history here...hahahahaha!!!!!

[@gregorywojtera7283]

It's not Victorian, it's not Georgian, this is 18th century Baroque.

Love your reaction to this iconic performance! I gotta say for the first time, your inner campiness came through whilst watching this. And I live for it!!! You should watch this again and again as I have done. I’ve played that ending where they pose on the chaise lounge about a million times. Still gives me chills 30 yrs on .

[@hoxtondean9855]

I never feel the need to compare.. sooner or later Oscars , and vogue here are two different types of performances.. it highlights how versatile Madonna is as an artist. Why do we need to compare? Can we not enjoy things for what they are? :-)

[@DitaVodka]

This performance is one of the things that inspired me to do drag. Most of her other performances are live.

[@mariocampos8439]

Tus reacciones sobre las presentaciones de Madonna son increibles, muestras admiracion y mucho respeto!!!

[@jay_ooh]

I remember seeing that performance on the night, I was just blown away, every time I saw that Madonna was going to be performing at the VMAs. You knew you were getting something amazing. Amazing! You didn't know what it was going to be but you knew it was going to be something worth watching, especially in that time period... The possibilities were unlimited with her

[@yanki198]

Such an impact was generated by this performance that was hailed as the best performance in the history of the VMAs, only Queen Madonna

[@MrLear1976]

Finally more Madonna hehe Watch Mother and father acoustic performance. It's stripped down to just guitar and vocals but I love it. Shame there's not really any great quality versions out there.

[@davidmaholchic6146]

This one is killer how can this woman have so many good songs and videos love you love your reactions

[@tarzanisno1]

🧡 Madonna went and did it with this one. Bravo to her! "POSE" is FANTASTIC ! So is the documentary "Paris is Burning" for anyone who hasn't seen it. (Wrote it just before you mentioned it.) Fanning and flagging - all big with the community. Loved it. Don't forget SASS. I believe I owe you an apology to you, Dereck. Because you're 30 years younger than me I was bummed that you missed out on the heydays of disco, and you were only four years old when Madonna released this song. But while you missed the actual days, you haven't missed a thing when it comes to what those days were all about and what they still mean to us. I haven't been to a club in years, but that life, those loves, still carry on. And you caught the fire. Thank you. Carry on, sweetheart. Carry on.

[@tomrobinsondc]

I can't stop drooling over his arms.

[@m3rrys0ngstr3ss]

The word that comes to mind for me with this performance is "crisp". Every detail of the dance, the production, the staging and the costuming is precise and yet doesn't feel stifled.

[@loscano]

This is LITERALLY the night FANNING WAS BORN!

[@damienbarber7088]

her timing is outrageously on point.

[@THOMKALLOR]

OG Madonna fan here. She was at the height of her popularity and this performance was one of the pinnacles of Madonna-dom! There's a reason so many people urged you to watch this one! Seen onstage are longtime backup singers Niki and Donna, and two members of the House of Xtravaganza. I have a recommendation for you and it's off the beaten path: there's a number called "Masquerade" in the movie version of "Phantom of the Opera" which is an INSANELY choreographed/costumed number featuring vogueing. PS after all these years that first SNAP of the fans STILL gives me goosebumps!

[@brklyn345]

I was 13 years old when they did this. I truly thought that Madge was singing about the magazine when the song came out, even after seeing the video. Then I saw this and I "GOT" it. I loved how the audience gave props to Niki and Donna when they came out, and my heart stopped for that fan flip. My classmates at school the next day couldn't stop talking about it. Even now, people are STILL shook by this.

[@Phippa64]

Definitely should be top 3 of VMA performances! Queen!

[@austin1975b]

Madonna has given us some of the most immaculate performances in her career. I’ve been following her from the beginning. She is also the most successful women in music no questions asked.

[@tomvalveede6808]

At the time this song was first released and for many years after, this was played at all Gay dance clubs. And it was so much fun to watch all the drop dead Gorgeous men "Voguing" What a blast! Super fun times! Liked your review it was true and Not Fake, like others l've seen. Good luck 🍀🍀🍀!!!

[@Ocelot2000]

I remember watching this on tv when it happened. We all were shouting and going crazy because no one would have DARED to do this! The guys in those outfits, the nod to the Balls, the celebration of LGBTQ, everything about this was so great!

[@Matuteilcapo]

This performance was a clear statement!! In 1990 Milli Vanilli, Paula Abdul were under suspicious of using playback in their "live" performances!! Later it was proved that in the case of Milli Vanilli they hadn´t sung one single note in the recording process of the album, in the case of Abdul, a woman denounced she was the real voice in the pop singer's album, the case was "resolved" out of court... Madonna was clear, she used playback when the choregraphy needed, but she never hid the truth, although some of her "pairs" continued pretending to... In her iconic Blonde Ambition Tour she even joked about, as you can see in the hilarious performance of "Now I'm following you II"!!! Long live the Queen!!

[@Miguel.Medrano]

Fue todo tan increíble!!! El baile, la vestimenta, la puesta en escena... Un tema para bailar que estaba hecho teatro. El mensaje transgresivo, una clase social empaquetada, hipócrita, con posturas convencionales y protocolo establecidos, pero en el fondo entregadas a sus deseos más ocultos y animales, fumando opio a escondidas, la mujer mostrando su sexualidad cuando siempre había sido el hombre, sugerencias de orgia, homosexualidad, genitalidad explicita ....fue soberbio, creativo y artístico!! Hermosa y única Madonna!!!

[@queenofdeejays]

The inspiration for this scenery and especially her costume was born from both the movie Dangerous Liaisons -check out Glenn Close's dress for this 1988 movie- and also from Marie Antoinette. Her former costumer in that time explained all this in an interview. The nobility in the French Epoche was all about posing. Strike A Pose babe! No doubt this was one of the most amazing MTV's live shows ever. Unfortunately, VOGUE didn't get all the awards I think it well deserved. This elegant, glamorous and so danceable housy tune was the perfect opening for the 90s decade. Only Madonna could achieve such historical milestones.

[@TJdirect]

I’m so glad you didn’t label her as “vintage” this time. That is definitely a slappable offense 🤣🤣
