Madonna - Take A Bow (Official Video) REACTION

[@ravenblack6950]

Madonna's ballads are all masterpieces. Most people know her for her 'pop' music, but true fans know her ballads are where it's at 👌 Love your videos 😊

[@Loveisall23]

Baby face wrote and ns composed this song. 🙂

[@fatifeodoskating]

Yes, I love her ballad a lot.

[@saltyraider4936]

All my favorite Madonna songs are ballads, live to tell, crazy for you

[@josechung07]

Yes! 💯 We need another collection like Something To Remember.

[@FutureLover83]

exactly!! And overall she has sooo many ballads

[@aranette]

This song was done with artist, Babyface. He has a smooth, warm voice that perfectly matched hers! You have to listen to some of his songs as well!

[@deanarjones9114]

He’s talented and so handsome, just smooth

[@matthewdrake4385]

Helped found LaFace records with LA Reed. The amount of talent both of them worked with is a who’s who.

[@HusaMusesOn]

Didn’t know that was baby face!

[@baekdoosan9071]

The was supposed to have another album with him but it became Ray Of Light instead

[@tamarawhiteurst8727]

@@HusaMusesOnhe wrote and produced the song also.

[@MonkeyFace544]

I love her dance music, but her ballads are next level. Listen to Rain, The Power of Goodbye, Live to Tell and those are just the tip of the iceberg. She has so many hits.

[@TheRealTrididos]

Rain is exceptional.

[@DanielOrion74]

Came here to say pretty much this. While her biggest hits were pop powerhouses, her ballads was where her talent shined most. Live to Tell is her high water mark IMO and absolutely the peak of her work.

[@bryanstarke2931]

Live To Tell has already been done. Search for it.

[@mirjamvond1731]

Rain is my absolute favorite

[@heatherspence3848]

RAIN!!!!! YESSSssSsS

[@leslapins7617]

Isn’t it great how Madonna is a completely a new artist at every song of hers? I think she is the most versatile female singer ever!

[@matthewdrake4385]

I’d go with performer over singer.

[@mirjamvond1731]

@@matthewdrake4385 I was literally going to say that 🙂

[@jackie_jrml]

Stunning!!! “You’ll See” is the follow up song to this and it’s even more stunning. Babyface on backup vocals here. Also helped produce/write. Back in the day he was the man lol.👌🏼👌🏼

[@Stonn2222]

I was going to mention "You'll See" being the follow up, but you beat me to it.

[@crystalb8612]

Babyface is still the man! Have you heard his new song with Jam & Lewis? He killed it!

[@rvegas81]

I agree. To me her best ballads were Take a Bow Crazy For You and You’ll see. However I rarely hear You’ll See mentioned or played on the radio.

[@kishad1542]

Babyface blessed her with this song. They sound amazing together.

[@DanPLC]

Other great ballads from Madonna: "This used to be my playground" and "You'll see"

[@kelliewhyte_85]

And also DEFINITELY Oh Father. That song is FREAKING AMAZING!!! And so damn emotional!!!

[@parallel23s]

Bad Girl is my all time favorite. And the video is genius.

[@cheyenneburgess9717]

Yay, a Babyface ballad. He is genius for his ballad productions.

[@kathyjam2482]

Cherish from Madonna is a great fun song

[@kelliewhyte_85]

Yep, Cherish is one of my all time favourite songs!! But then again, I have A LOT of all time favourite songs!!!

[@tickle74656]

One of her absolute best songs and imo her best ballad. Such great production from Babyface too, so lush.

[@jaym4361]

Why didn't I know it was babyface!!!!! I've always rated the production of this❤

[@RonnieT44]

A beautiful song. Used to play this song to my son, James, as a baby, It was so soothing. He is now 25 years old!!

[@kendragreene5953]

I love it! Thanks for sharing

[@KatKPatterson]

Another AWESOME song from her was a song she did for her husband at the time, Shawn Penn's movie called "live to tell"...one of my favorites!!

[@sarablack2547]

[@sarablack2547]

@@JohnJohnson-tw8qk I love that one to showed depth and venerability

[@jmarsh22]

Babyface, who sang the backing vocals, had some hits himself.

[@DavidMichaelCommer]

He was the best engineer of her voice, and his paired so perfectly with hers. I always wished she would have hired him to produce another album for her.

[@keepitreal1467]

He had many hits solo and with group 'after 7' not to mention the hits he wrote for Boyz II Men over the years.

[@number3stunner118]

He wrote this, too.

[@rebeccalucas6063]

The next song from Madonna should be "The Power of Goodbye" it's goes with the theme of Take a Bow.

[@jonny_mazerati9410]

Yes ! Power of goodbye

[@jamievanduesen3637]

Yes! One of my favorite Madonna songs.

[@MarvelMex]

my favorite ballad from Madonna ! I went through a breakup when I heard this song and OMG I cried my eyes out while listening to it...

[@rebeccalucas6063]

@@MarvelMex It's also (I think,) a song about getting out of an abusive relationship where you love, but the other person doesn't return the love.

[@picnic75]

That's Babyface Edmonds (one of the biggest producers ever) singing backup for her.... They wrote this together.

[@n0sr369]

Madonna is a Jill of all trades. She can do it all. That’s the reason she remains as Pop’s reigning Queen. Her legacy transcends generations. 👑

[@conniesloan921]

Madonna always great !!!

[@russelljudkins5828]

Live to tell is another great song show off her voice

[@nicholaspowell3294]

The album bedtime stories is in my opinion a very underated album, I think it's a classic.

[@Marc-zi5cq]

It's my favorite, her most R&B album and all four singles were amazing with stunning videos as well.

[@colombiacrack88]

Mariah and Madonna are my faves for different reasons. Mariah had the voice, the songwriting, the production, and yes she’s versatile she has done house, r&b, soul, pop, started the pop hip hop collab, and more. But Madonna is even more versatile in what she explores musically and she’s way more provocative visually constantly reinventing herself becoming a new artist every album sometimes every song

[@ryanfeit1420]

"This Used To Be My Playground" from the film "A League Of Their Own" (which also stars Madonna along with Tom Hanks and Geena Davis) is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard and fits the movie so well. The song plays at the end credits. One of Madonna's purest and overall best songs that is not as memorable as her other songs but is definitely worth a listen.

[@tkmorrison6404]

My childhood favorite!!!

[@connieleighton4375]

Ray of light should be next, because once again it's a totally different sound, so glad you did this one though cause it's amazing, one of my favorites THX...♡

[@moanman1776]

This was one of the first songs/hits where I heard MADONNA actually SING... & liked it.

[@DaveM-FFB]

Take a bow has always been my favorite Madonna song!

[@moonstone1159]

The video "You'll See" is the second part two to this love/breakup story. It's another great one! THX!

[@jesspearson9280]

One of my favourite ballads from her. Beautiful ☺️ but also sad 😔 Rain is also another great ballad from Madonna too.

[@nikkicarrington9365]

Correct!

Thanks guys. The comment has been corrected.

Madonna is an Icon.

[@RKS4581]

You should check out Madonna “Secret” and “Human Nature” from the Bedtime Stories album. That is the album “Take A Bow” was on. ♥️

[@boymickeyboy]

Great reaction! Madonna's ballads are the best. You must react on You'll see, I'll remember, Oh Father, This used to be my playground... Madonna is genius!

[@ginalolajupiter2942]

This is my favorite song from her. Her voice is so full and rich.

[@raimundasmickevicius3279]

It's one of my favourite Madonna songs. Definetely in top 3 together with "Like a prayer" and "Rain". Her soft side in ballads is amazing

[@Rcortinas]

the background vocals were done by Babyface Edmonds. who also wrote and and produced the song. He also wrote and produced the biggest R&B acts of the early 90s with his distinct production, of course one of the biggest was Boyz II Men. He did a great job creating this song with Madonna. This song was #1 for 9 weeks in 1995, marking a huge comeback after the backlash from the erotica era. great reaction

[@sunnydays5742]

Madonna is the complete artist. The video to this was also epic. Like a movie like art! Her ballads are always on point. Babyface did a brilliant production on this. What a combo! Loved the reaction Jay!

[@paulsheedy4650]

Possibly her best ballad for me. Gorgeous tune with beautiful harmonies. Every time I hear it I sing along.😁📀👍🎶❤️

[@nonilove17]

Always loved this song.. If u like this w/ the harmony, u might like "This use to be my playground" (from the League of their own movie)...video on KZbin, that's another great one ppl forgot about 😄

[@xXxBeautifulChaosxXx]

This is one of my favorite song of hers! Great pick!

[@tierraburley6968]

This is my favorite Madonna song. Especially since it features Babyface.... which is another artist you need to react to!

[@LiveAlcheme]

Oh Father is one of my favorites from Madonna. So powerfully intimate and the video is beautifully shot.

[@kelliewhyte_85]

SAME HERE! SUCH A SAD AND EMOTIONAL SONG!!!

[@CharlyTateSunshinyGirl]

I always think I've heard this song too many times, but when it starts playing...I have to listen to it. Her vocal performance, that hesitancy and delicate delivery. The production of this entire thing...Babyface. On his game. One of the most nostalgic '90s songs for me.

[@Matuteilcapo]

Her versatility is unmatched!! She has powerhouse dance hits, but she also has ballads hits too!! She writes, compose and produces them. In fact, she has a compilation of all these low-tempo/ballads hits, which has sold more than 15 million copies worldwide!

[@alegriadj9997]

OMG!!! I love this song!!! Great reaction❤💜

[@Marc-zi5cq]

She must be the most diverse female artist and she mastered every genre. Love this calming soulful r&b ballad. This album called Bedtime Stories was amazing. I recommand you check out Secret, which was the first single, beautiful and a supernice video as well. She was doing the r&b thing so good at the time. Love her vocals.

[@erinj8621]

The video is so lush and cinematic on this one, it's absolutely perfect, the music and the vid together.

[@ninaian]

Absolutely love 'Take a Bow'. So strange that it was 7 weeks at #1 in America but would become one of her first singles to miss the UK Top 10, peaking at #16 in December 1994. My other 2 faves from Madonna are 'Live to Tell' and 'Bad Girl' (A fab video featuring Christopher Walken). Definitely worth checking out. 😉

[@Marc-zi5cq]

Yesss, we must request Bad Girl! So underrated! and one of the best music videos ever.

[@ePelle741]

This whole cd, Bedtime Stories, is one of her best in my opinion.

[@Marc-zi5cq]

I listen to it all the time at the moment. Timeless piece of art, so relaxing. Love Tried To Welcome Me, Sanctuary, Bedtime Story= eargasm. I drove home from the gym being totally tired today and it put me in such a nice relaxed mood.

[@DMB088]

This song always makes me think of a former boyfriend that I realized was a narcissist. They are great actors

[@GuardianAngel..]

Your right if you listen to the words of the song what she’s describing is a narcissist.

[@tonysoprano9370]

Something to Remember is Madonna’s best album by far

[@martinmillar7137]

Madonna... she keeps evolving..its mad how talented she is... 😍

[@AmaanStorm]

The song is like a sensual lullaby....sleepy, yet sensual and wistful. Such a beautiful melody and one of my favourites from Madonna. You should listen to 'Rain'. I think you'd love that one Jay

[@clarionblur]

Her videos are always top tier, as most everything about her is really. Madonna's an incredible entertainer. I remember her debut so well, I was 22 yo (it was a long time ago lol) and my generation was ready for her. She came out a superstar and just kept slamming hit after hit. I'd like to see her age gracefully and stomp her boot down on pop culture with something brand new. I know it gets harder but she is capable of it and I'd never be surprised.

[@tl4027]

I LOVE this song and video! The bullfighter is a real bullfighter, it was filmed in Spain, produced by legendary Babyface (please go down a hole with his collection of works!), it helped her get the lead role in Evita, and has only been performed live twice.

[@nikkis1933]

I ❤Madonna 💯

Madonna - Beautiful Stranger

[@melanielucas4155]

Madonna has so many great songs, but her ballads are killer! The way she sings them...you can feel the emotions. One of my favorites is called Promise To Try from her Like A Prayer album. She wrote it for her mother who passed away from cancer when she was a child. It always reminds me of my grandmother. You have to listen to it! Also Rain, Power of Goodbye, Oh Father, Something To Remember, Love Don't Live Here Anymore, In This Life, so many more!

[@MarishkaVladimirescu]

This is one of my favorite songs. So beautiful and meaningful. Best of Madonna. The video is phenomenal too.

[@PiazzaGurl]

Her love songs are just beautiful. Love them all. She works with amazing producers. Babyface did this one. He even does back vocals.

[@billwoodruff9100]

That low register singing reminds one of Karen Carpenter who Madonna has said was one of her early influences. At the time this was her best selling record.

[@kittylemeu]

I always liked this song. She's got some pretty nice ballads. They tend to be a little melancholy. Listen to Madonna's "bedtime stories". She collaborated with Bjork for that song. Great video too.

[@brigitter1469]

Not much of a Madonna fan but I do like this song very much. One of her best in my opinion. It is beautiful.

[@cas4040]

I’m not too much of a Madonna fan, but this is one of my favorites from her collection of music. “You’ll see “is my absolute favorite, and her work on the Dick Tracy soundtrack, and Evita. She lets her voice shine without the hype.

Javon bebe, will you ever do a react vid of Enya? Any track would do, however, her biggest hit is/was Orinoco Flow which was made into a mash-up featuring The Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up". (personally... that was a hella mass mess) Enya's music/vocals have been featured in some cinematic films. Notably, in one of my favourite cheeky monkey rom-com of the early-mid '90s entitled Green Card that starred French man, Gerard Depardieu and Andie McDowell (the love interest of Bill Murray's character in Groundhog's Day). "Orinoco Flow" is far and wide, her most commercially successful track followed by "Only Time" and "Watermark". Her music (reckon it's "file this under Yanni or New Age) can be considered under that genre, however, her vocals are beyond... B. E. Y. O. N. D. Amazing!!!! Like, better than Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On". Wellp, that's just one gal's opines
