Madonna - The Girlie Show Tour Reaction (Part 1)

[@NocturneSoul]

She never looked more happy than in this tour. She was smiling throughout the whole show.

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

❤️❤️

[@sito7186]

My opinion. It’s by far her best tour. Everyone had so much fun

[@PedroMLaroza]

This performance of Rain is one of the best performances of Madonna's career, so simple, raw and full of meaning

[@primalrunner]

Hands down!

[@todddepue681]

This will be Madonna's last tour before the introduction of the giant video screens. And while they certainly add another dimension to a stage show, Girlie Show is good reminder what can be achieved with old skool theatrical elements.

[@taintedlife2618]

And I love the intimacy of it all.

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

So true!! This production is incredible. ❤️❤️

[@martink...]

You are so right! Now, 30 years later, it still fills me with joy watching the Girlie Show, and it also makes me sad at the same time, because this was the last tour in the old fashioned way.

[@TonyRom257]

This was an amazing concert! The dancer that opens the show is Carrie Ann Inaba, one of the judges on Dancing with the Stars. She is an incredible dancer, as are all of Madonna's dancers....Look forward to part 2. Nice job ladies!

[@rowanmayfair9249]

She also choreographed the entire tour.

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Thank you! ❤️❤️

[@rodrigodalcin2915]

@@rowanmayfair9249 That's factually incorrect. Alex Magno was the main choreographer for the Girlie Show.

[@machinagirl]

I love this concert! I wish I had been allowed to see this. 😂😂

[@rowanmayfair9249]

@rodrigodalcin2915 Yes, I saw that. If you look it up, some say she did. Others him. Thank you! I forgot to correct myself.

[@tapanim6576]

Nobody puts on a show like Madonna. Her tours are incredible. ❤

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

We agree! They’re amazing!

[@DanielCostadaSilva]

Back in the day this show was deemed as “x-rated”, “too hot for the audience”, and some headlines even read “calm down grandma”. Madonna was only 35 and at the peak of the entire Erotica era. I’ve seen men reacting to this show and collaborating to these reviews. It’s refreshing to see two women seeing the beauty Madonna meant to convey with this concert, bringing lots of positivity about this show. Of course it’s still the first act, there are 3 more to go and it’s a journey, trust me. But from this beginning we can see how much the combination of Madonna, Nikki and Donna solidified into the mind of fans. This performance of Rain is referenced by us to this very day. The emotion Brenda is feeling is something we can all relate to. By the way, love Emily’s new hair!

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Thank you so much! And thank you for the hair compliment as well! ❤️❤️ We can definitely see why this performance of Rain is so loved by fans - Absolute magic! ❤️❤️

[@jamesr2164]

Thank you guys for taking this journey. There's something extra special about watching you two unfold her amazing career compared to other Madonna reaction videos that others are doing (or have already done). And I was right there with you in tears during "Rain", especially after that beautiful harmony into the instrumental. This is why so many consider her one of the greatest live performers ever, and why she is still the best-selling female musical recording artist in history 👏

[@conuco26]

You said it!

[@pepsine]

Could not have said it better on all counts!

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

You're very sweet- Thank you so much! ❤️❤️

[@s.tupper4159]

I'm embarrassed to say this, but I get very emotional watching your video reactions. Not only are you reacting to one of the few artists ever who speaks to me and makes me feel valued, but the quality of your relationship is what I always craved but never received from my own family. Sad, but true. Your channel should come with a trigger warning: Affirmation, validation and entertainment may result. Proceed at your own risk. I'm being facetious, of course, but I do so look forward to every video. Thank you both!

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

You're such an incredibly sweet person - Thank you for that! ❤️❤️ If we could crawl through the screen and hug you now, we would. Just know that we're sending so much love your way, and we're very grateful that you're here with us. ❤️

[@diesel6888]

This tour was amazing! It opened in London and I was lucky enough to be at the front both nights! Just amazing!

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Incredible!! ❤️❤️

[@gabrihapa]

Madonna's first time here in Brasil was back in 1993 with this tour. No need to say it was a complete phenomenon and stopped the country! She came back many times with her tours, but this one made Brasil even more crazy in love with her!

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Love that! ❤️❤️

[@charlesr63]

I mean who literally burns up the stage ? This woman is just one of a kind. The topless pole dancer was once again Carrie Ann Inaba. The Fever performance was phenomenal, totally different from her TV versions. All about that flame 🔥 even when the men removed their shirts they turned them into swaying flames. One thing with Madonna as a live performer you can feel her joy and love for her audience in your soul.

[@sharkyroman]

That was 35 mins and 37 seconds of total bliss. Cant wait for the next one. 😁😁😁

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

You're very kind - Thank you so much! ❤️❤️

[@diesel6888]

So much influence from old Hollywood in this concert it’s like a broadway show!!

[@taintedlife2618]

I love your reaction to Rain. I think Madonnas greatest talent is her emotional delivery and her vulnerability. I think the entire Erotica album is about intimacy. Physical intimacy, emotional intimacy, romance and friendship. I think the album is incredibly well rounded, innovative, and misunderstood. Niki, Donna, and Madonna together always does it to me. There is no better accompaniment for her vocals and performance style. This particular performance is so glorious and moving and wonderful and joyous. Happy new year ❤❤❤

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Thank you - Happy New Year to you too! ❤️❤️ And yes, this performance of Rain is just on another level...❤️

[@gabrihapa]

No need to say this is my favorite Madonna tour! I have the DVD and watched it too many times! She delivers a wonderful powerful performance in every song! I can't pick a favorite!

[@liammoore2068]

Watching your emotions when she sang 'Rain'.... so sweet....

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

It's such a beautiful performance... ❤️❤️

[@kristianberg4264]

Happy New Year to you both!!!! I got emotional too, but as a 40yr fan, it’s hard not to now, looking back on the artistry of this amazing woman and how truly thankful I am, to have come through my teen years into the mid 50’s,following her career in real time. I was so looking forward to your reactions to the tour on a whole, but especially her new look with short hair and the beautiful Indian inspired performance of Vogue. She used the same flavor on the last tour,with Like A Virgin. 😊❤

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Happy New Year to you too! ❤️❤️ Love her short hair (and loved watching the metamorphosis of it throughout the Erotica album!)! ❤️

[@EnterpriseGeek]

This was the best Rain Performamce just mindblowing! And i love these tours when she did songs with Nikki and Donna. The 3 were harmonizing fantastic together! I think she included the 2 even in the 2000s shows, till the Confessions Tour! Cant wait for your reaction in this tour with later Songs like Deeper and Deeper and In this Life and Why its so hard.....you will need tissues again believe me😊 Those Erotica Songs had deep themes like Aids, Queer Love or Self Empowering...One of her best Albums ever!

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

We loved the Erotica album, and we're really loving this tour so far! ❤️❤️ Although we may need to buy more tissues...

[@brianmichaels5112]

I had to watch again just for Vogue and Rain. Just perfect. I’m so excited you’re on this journey. You’ll see when you review Drownd World, Sticky&Sweet , MDNA , Rebel Heart . The meaning behind every word and movement gets more intense each show not to mention the crowds get bigger, stage and production get bigger and her vocals get insanely better I mean I think she always sounds amazing but after her Evita training she showcases her cords on Drownd World!!! Thanks again for this.

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

[@blondambitionlove]

So glad you finally made it to The Girlie Show. I saw this at Wembley stadium in London it was a great night and it was also recorded and played the following night on Radio 1. (They wouldn’t broadcast live again after the Blond Ambition Tour broadcast controversy!) can’t wait for part 2 👏🏻

this show I ❤ the most

[@blakey2408]

I’ve been super excited for this one!! If I could go back in a “time capsule”, this would definitely be the Madonna show I would go and see!! Loved your reaction on pt1❤Awww Brenda, bless you… it’s such an emotional performance isn’t it!!! Not meaning to plug her brother Christopher after he sold a book on her, but there’s a lot of references about The Girlie Show as he designed the stage. He said that each night Madonna would be super nervous waiting on the lift for Erotica. I was always shocked by this as you would never tell that Madonna gets nervous before a performance. But, she’s only human after all 😊

[@taintedlife2618]

I didn’t get his book when it came out but got the audiobook about a year and a half ago. I think the book is marketed as a tell all on her and he certainly does air her out a bit but rightfully so. She was the one with power in this dynamic. But It is his story and I do so love to hear his voice again and I’ve always loved him and his contributions to her artistry and i Miss them together. It would be amazing if he was one of the guests on her tour! ❤❤

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️ And we would love to get into that time capsule with you to see this live - What a show so far!! ❤️

It's all great. Even had the Great Gene Kelly give input on one of the numbers. Enjoy! PS(I tear up during Rain too) lol It's an amazing performance with her and Nikki and Donna.

What a beautiful reaction ladies. Thank you for it. You’re both fantastic reactors to M. You get her. She really does take the listener and viewer on an emotional journey. I think that went and still does go over a lot of peoples heads. Maybe one day they’ll see it. For now, it’s wonderful to relive all of it with the two of you. I saw this show in NYC and it was incredible. Especially with no spoilers and no cellphones and no social media. The excitement was unbelievable. I’ve been lucky enough to see her 7 times. Hopefully I’ll see The Celebration Tour. I’m not sure that it will pan out though, but you never know. I’m excited you’ll be getting to go. I’m excited for you. 😊 I’m looking forward to your following Girlie Show reactions and your continued M journey. Thanks Again.

Madonna introduced the stripper pole before any rap artist did… Madonna always does it first…

[@marvinnsadrobot6096]

Rain (here, in The Girlie Show tour) is one of the most perfect vocal Madonna`s performances for her 40-year career. But of course Donna and Nikki are great too! It sounds so clean and soft! Great job from the Queen!

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Absolute perfection! ❤️❤️

[@richardc8795]

An amazing review ladies. I saw this show two nights in a row, and on the first night, I was late, and I missed Carrie Ann Inaba coming down the 50 foot pole! I love when she came stomping down the steps and peeled off the mask! So fierce! I knew Brenda was going to love Rain… It’s ok girl, emotions are good!! Next is the studio 54 segment. It opens with a gigantic disco ball. 🪩 You’re going to love it. You’ve noticed the high heel boot she’s wearing, just so you know, she only tours in heels now. Probably why her legs look like buttah!! See you soon for part 2! Have a nice night! ♥️

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Thank you! ❤️❤️ And two nights in a row... Wow - What an experience (at least you got to see the pole on the second night 😉)! Have a wonderful evening! ❤️

Madonna not only has the best dancers (imv), but she always lets them showcase their unique talents. The opening performance with the semi-nude pole dance is Carriei Ann Inaba, who came to be one of the original judges of 'Dancing With the Stars' and a daytime talk show host.

[@foran0004]

The entire "Girlie Show" was inspired by the painting by Edward Hopper of the same name, depicting a burlesque dancer. Vogue was a tribute to 'The King & I' and the movements and hand gestures are spot on.

[@RichieKNL]

Loved your reaction once again. I’m getting addicted to these videos 😊 This concert was amazing and she even contacted Gene Kelly as an advisor on some parts of the show. As you could see at the ending of Rain. A reverence to Singing In the Rain. And later on at the homage to Marlene Dietrich…. Am looking forward to part 2 !

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️ And yes, this concert is just next level. ❤️

[@giacomosalibra1656]

This precision and this aesthetic research taken to maniacal levels: making oneself a work of art. I completely agree with Brenda, the body was the center of everything and Madonna's face are the expressive means to create something that had never been seen in a stadium show: music represented by moving paintings. Thinking about it, it's a madness, the details could only be seen with a telescope. It is interesting that Madonna always starts from what she likes, her references are always in the history of art, in this case Edward Hopper's painting "The girlie show" and other paintings in which the mask seen at start of the show. It is a real shame that the artistic and human relationship with her brother Christopher is over. Much of this show is due to him.

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Love that you expressed this as "music represented by moving paintings." Such an incredibly beautiful way to describe it. ❤️❤️

[@Blogodiseablog]

I want to see this tour again in a big screen. Together with the Blond Ambition, i think it's one of her best tours. This was a bit more intimate and she went to special countries that she hadn't gone before, like Mexico, Turkey or Argentina. But has a special quality in it, the closest Madonna has come to doing musical theater on tour. I love the strength of Fever's performance and the appearance of the harlequin throughout the show throughout the night, as in this case in Rain. I am quite fond of this show, it is a pleasure to revisit it with you, who make some very interesting and accurate analyzes. Kisses 😍😍😍

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Aww, thank you ! ❤️❤️😘 Although we haven't seen the rest of her tours (yet!), this definitely has to be one of the best. Just incredible on every level. ❤️

[@scotlight1895]

Hello! I've been following your channel for just a couple of months or so and have been enjoying your Madonna reactions. I've been a big Madonna fan since I was in about 8th grade, around the time of the Blond Ambition tour. Fun fact about the performance you just watched: The dance interlude after "Rain" was actually a recreation of a scene from the musical "Singin' In The Rain" and "Vogue" was a recreation of the Broadway musical "The King & I." Madonna depicts and recreates several different Broadway musicals in this show - NO SPOILERS but see if you can spot any! Also, the sound from the concert in your video is really quiet. I had to turn up my volume full blast to hear it. I hope you can turn it up just a notch so that we can enjoy it with you. Great job on your channel and best of luck to you in the new year!

Luv how Madonna envisioned this Erotica era tour and how brilliantly she put together all the artistic staging elements to produce this tour. She aptly named this tour after Edward Hopper’s erotic 1941 masterpiece painting-Girlie Show-of a seductive, middle age burlesque theater performer who in her artistic show imparts a sense to her audience as “desirable but untouchable, to be observed safely and admired from a distance”. Traditionally with a traveling burlesque/cabaret theater, there is a clown figure, here Madonna chose a masked “sad” clown character known as a “Pierrot” who originated in 16th century Italian comedic theater, became popular in France in 17th century theater, and in the modern era became “a silent, alienated observer of the mysteries of the human condition”. She brought new life to Vogue with a choreography and costume influenced by Balinese/Siamese traditional dance moves which depicted multi-armed Hindu gods/goddesses in their poses. I’d give the House of Madonna another 10 in this Vogue number. The Rain number was superb that ended with a video interlude of umbrellas twirling to hints of Gene Kelly’s 1942 classic “Singin’ In The Rain” theme song. One of Madonna’s early influence she admired, she convinced Kelley to choreograph this interlude but she eventually had to let him go as reportedly he clashed with the other artistic tour directors as he objected to the show’s “heavy sexual overtones” and he questioned that the dancers were selected more based on their “personal qualities” than dancing abilities. Put simply, Kelly was too conservative for Madonna’s artistry. I think Madonna, in her drive to break taboos and confront her critics, she opened and infused this tour with more artistic eroticism and sexuality in the choreography, and she did it with supreme confidence, tongue in cheek, a wink and a naughty smile-most likely causing her religious critics and prudes to squirm, get more annoyed and irritated. That’s the rebellious punk in Madonna. ❤your beautiful reaction here, specially to Rain. For her fans, she offers her bond of intimacy, vulnerability and appreciation of the arts.

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️ We really appreciate the background info that you shared regarding the tour inspiration (burlesque and cabaret). And the Gene Kelly story... So interesting! Truly love the artistry she applies to everything she does. Nothing is random - It all serves a beautiful purpose in telling the story. ❤️

[@rowanmayfair9249]

Ok, I'm going to reserve this spot to make comments since my short-term memory is gone, I'll forget by the time the video is over. This is my fave tour from her, Blond Ambition broke, well, everything, but this one has a special place in my heart. I have the choreo in my muscle memory. That shimmy during fever was how I basically cleaned my house after seeing this. A feast for the eyes. Ummm, I got lost in the sauce watching, per usual...so no more thoughts,lol.

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Love this!! Completely relate. 😂❤️❤️

[@blueeyes4910]

Hello, little curiosity about this part. The dancer who was on the pole was hired by Madonna in a club where he saw her dancing on the pole and I think she was incredibly good. Fred Astaire had been hired as choreographer for the finale of Rain but the final result did not convince Madonna and had him relieved of the task by his brother Christofer. If you pay attention, you can hear the notes of singing in the rain at the moment of rain solo dance

[@briandubois-gilbert8182]

I think it was Gene Kelly that Madonna hired to choreograph the video interlude at the end of the Rain number as a homage to his classic 1952 film song/dance performance of Singin’ In The Rain. He left the production after he clashed with Chris Ciccone and Madonna over the artistic direction of the tour.

Estuve en ese concierto, en Buenos Aires cuando Madonna vino por primera vez a Argentina. Imposible de olvidar tanta energía y pasaron 30 años!!

Oh I've seen interviews of Niki and Donna and they're still reminiscing the beauty of that performance of Rain 🥰

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

No doubt! It was magical. ❤️❤️

Gracias por la reacción, esperé mucho jajajsja, pero ya está aquí. Gracias

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Yes, it's finally here! 😉❤️

Oh yeah Madonna definitely worked out alot for this tour. Her thighs aren't usually this muscular. She worked her butt off for this show so when she performed on stage, it looked easy to do all the extensive dancing and singing live at the same time.

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

She looked (and sounded) amazing!! ❤️❤️

EMILY- From my screen name I'm sure you can tell I'm a stylist.........just wanted to say I like the new cut!! Loving the springy curls!!!!

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Aww, thank you so much! That's so sweet of you to say! ❤️❤️

[@shawnwilliams3507]

You guys should check ✅out the making of Madonnas frozen video 📹 it's really cool 😎👌👍

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Thank you for the recommendation! ❤️❤️

[@terryryan3589]

When is part 2 coming out

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Right now! 😉❤️

[@marcvelez6018]

Madonna is the only artist whose concert tours are never the same. Other singers (Janet & Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Britney, Lady Gaga, and others,) have been doing the same choreography from decades ago. For something to be "Iconic" is has to be special, done once and let it stand on its glory. If an artist is still doing the same dance moves from a decades old music video, it shows 0 growth, creativity and lack of imagination. In every tour the look, sound, staging and costumes are never the same and that's what makes Madonna the greatest ....

[@terrystorey]

I miss Donna and Nicki. I wish they were touring with her now on her 40th anniversary tour. It doesnt seem right that they are not, since they were with her for a large portion of her career. 🙂

[@luizribeirooo]

The next part omg lol

[@taintedlife2618]

Wink😂😉

[@cristoferchanimak]

Rain: Madonna with Donna & Niki at their greatest 😍😍😍

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

❤️❤️

[@dudedandify]

What made u want to get on the Madonna journey? How did it start?

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

It actually started as a recommendation from viewers. We reacted to a couple of Madonna videos early on, and a number of subscribers suggested that we go on this journey of her career. And we're so glad we did!! What a fantastic way to learn more about this amazing artist (and meet so many great people in the comments!). ❤️❤️

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

Surprised you didn’t do the Tokyo show many people like that one more

[@salvadordehyrule7261]

Oh, I knew we were going to have a blast watching Rain live after the official video reaction 😊 And yeah, we're going to see many more M, Nicki and Donna moments but Rain is the most special one for me. They're still singing it together nowadays (without Madonna)

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

It really was such a special performance. ❤️❤️

[@ehuffnsd]

for this tour this is my understanding of the theme. Erotica is sex as power, Fever is sex as passion, Vogue is sex as creation and Rain is sex as romance.

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

Thank you for sharing that with us! ❤️❤️

[@Markyajv]

The two of you are the least anxious people I've ever seen. Unless you hide it well... If so I need your secret. 😂 Okay, no offense at all coming from me. I was watching you today and all of a sudden I got this weird notion that you reminded me of something or some people that I've seen before and all of a sudden it popped into my head that you remind me of the two ladies who played the NPR radio hosts on the SNL skit with Alec Baldwin and then Betty White. If you know what I'm talking about then you know what I'm talking about. If not look up NPR SNL skit with Alec Baldwin. Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon speaking that quiet very chill voice and it just reminds me so much of listening to the two of you and I laughed but I'm not laughing at you I'm just laughing at the fact that there are actually people like those women that were being played on SNL hahaha!😂

[@OurAnxiousReactions]

We must hide the anxiousness well then! 😂 ❤️ And you're not the first person to mention the SNL skit, so there's clearly a connection. 😂😂😂
