POSE ON EM THEN!.. FIRST TIME HEARING Madonna - Vogue REACTION

[@Shrykespeare]

I've just realized that of the four solo artists that effectively OWNED the 80s - Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince, and Whitney Houston... Madonna's the only one still alive. She had legions of teenage girls dressing like her, talking like her, doing their hair and makeup like her. She performed without fear, without apology, and without hesitation. She was the definition of an icon.

[@mgeek1]

Fun Fact: Madonna, Michael and Prince were all born in the same year, 1958, coincidentally. Michael and Madonna were born just 13 days apart.

[@Shrykespeare]

Madonna is the highest selling female recording artist of all time with 335 million records sold worldwide. In the states she has 12 no.1 hit and a record 38 top 10 hit singles from a female artist . An absolute legend. You must do more reactions of Madonna. Next song you must react too is like a prayer another classic Madonna song

[@pixelrancher]

Voguing grew out of the gay/trans scene of the 1920s and 30s in Harlem and was more-or-less confined to African Americans. Much like “rap battles”, each “house” (much like a gang) battled each other on the dance floor. A great movie about voguing is “Paris Is Burning”. Can’t wait to see Rob vogue!

[@pacio49]

Madonna was taken to her first Ball in Harlem in the late 80's and she immediately began to work with the Drag House Xtravaganza (still in operation today) who not only appeared in the video (not in drag) but choreographed the dance moves for it. If you enjoy the music, you should take in the version that Madonna did to perform Vogue for the MTV VMA awards. She was one of the first pop stars to really amp up the performances at the VMAs with Like a Virgin back in the day, writhing around on stage and helping MTV get its youthful, edgy reputation. Back then, Michael Jackson was the King of Pop and Madonna was the Queen. Take in her halftime show for the Superbowl as well when she came in on the backs of hundreds of bare-chested male models dressed as Cleopatra... right after Elizabeth Taylor died. :-)

[@kpoppapi1493]

Yes that is the history. They were all old classic Hollywood stars she was talking about. I suggest watching the tv series POSE it will give you an understand how voguing originated.

[@Scary__fun]

"There's no context" ... uhm, not if the viewer doesn't know what the context is. Doh!

[@ArthurSB73]

There is a live version from an awards show that absolutely rocks!

[@DavidMichaelCommer]

That's a major part of the unstated subtext of the song. I think because the song picks up and becomes a lively dance track, the opening lyrics are overlooked by almost everybody, but they relate to Paris Is Burning: "Look around Everywhere you turn is heartache It's everywhere that you go (Just look around) You've tried everything you can to escape The pain of life that you know (Life that you know)" Vogue dancing was performed primarily by gay and trans people of color who often were homeless or housing insecure, many of whom resorted to sex work to survive, and therefore many of whom were living with HIV or dying from AIDS at the time. Their lives were incredibly difficult and devastating at times. (Paris Is Burning depicts all of this.) The escape from the harsh real world was going to balls (community-based dance clubs) where voguing competitions would be held and people could feel like winners. So when Madonna opens the song with the harsh real world, she then moves into the world of vogue dancing: "If all else fails And you long to be Something better than you are today I know a place where you can get away It's called the dance floor Yes, that's what it's for So, come on, vogue! Let your body move to the music Come on, vogue! Let your body go with the flow You know you can do it." Like a lot of songs by both Madonna and Britney Spears, this one is about dancing being an escape and a place to find freedom and self-satisfaction, but vogue is rooted in a subculture that marks a specific place and time in the world, and it's a lot more interesting in that way than just a catchy dance song (which of course it is).

[@analogblues]

Not as many guys like Madonna, but I think her music is fantastic. She has emotional ballads, edgy pop with messages of empowerment, and explores a variety of musical styles. A true pop legend. Keep doing her music, please!

@@Shane-Flanagan Until we reach a point in time when homosexuality ceases to be something that straight people (mostly straight men) look down on, we'll never reach a point where gay kids feel it's OK to come out and not live a lie and feel they hide who they really are. Why should men be _frightened_ of being labelled gay anyway?! I don't know any women who are 'frightened' of being labelled a lesbian. Toxic masculinity has a lot to answer for, sadly... 😔

[@RachelRenee-sq5pk]

The stars she’s talking about in this song are Iconic stars of the 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s . If you ever get a chance watch All About Eve with Bette Davis . Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers were not only actors, but accomplished dancers and singers. I love our silver screen icons 💕

Madonna knew how to reinvent herself every few years. She has so many hits I couldn’t even recommend one! Well maybe “ Live to tell” is one of my favs!

[@minusyou1]

That's why I hope they explore her music more. You can't just listen to a song or 3 and go "OK, I get what she's all about." Almost every song is its own thing while staying within pop. On a personal note Vogue is at the bottom of the list of her hits for me.

[@florenciaalvarez3213]

[@princessxera]

Live to Tell without a doubt, La Isla Bonita, Like a Prayer... but my favorite is almost completely unknown "Pray for Spanish Eyes"

[@todddepue681]

The thing with Madonna is you'll never really "get" her with just one song. And I promise whatever you hear next and whatever video you see next will make you say "is that the same artist?" And the same with the one after that and even the one after that! Her work is often multi layered with meaning beyond the surface. Often ironic, sometimes witty, always so damn smart. Drawing inspiration from art, film and literature and presenting it in a compelling, visually stunning way. Recommended: Express Yourself, Ray of Light, Don't Tell Me, Like A Prayer, Borderline, Live to Tell, God Control, Take a Bow, American Life

[@surlechapeau]

Her "Get Into The Groove" and "Material Girl" are favs. She can sing, dance and act! An ICON

[@dalee72]

^ Into The Groove 😘

[@tltatt]

It's hard to pick, but my favorite Madonna song may be "Into the Groove" and my favorite Madonna video may be "Material Girl". I love how the "Material Girl" video is a call-back to Marilyn Monroe in the movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"(1953) when Marilyn sings "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend". The official video for "Into the Groove" is scenes from the movie "Desperately Seeking Susan"(1985) and IMO doesn't really fit the song. YMMV.

[@gregorymoore2877]

Well... she can certainly sing and dance. Whether she can act is debatable. Never-the-less as a fan in the 80's I tried to watch all her movies: Shanghai Surprise; Desperately Seeking Susan; Who's That Girl; Dick Tracy. I thought her best acting job was in Dick Tracy. (I never saw Evita, but the song "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" from that movies pretty nice.)

[@cleverlilvixen]

@@gregorymoore2877 lol, you spoke my mind for me.... Though, I liked her Evita... She improved with each movie role she played, and (really) what more can you ask of an artist? And it's hard to find a real "triple threat" outside of Broadway since the fall of the studio system

[@agneskurzaj]

Check out "Paris Dupree"to see the 70s and 80s newest interpretations of Voguing. Also the Harlem Ballroom Scene 1920-1935 and the Harlem LGBTQ Black and Latino history of Vogue dance battles mimicking Vogue models, and Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs. 1980s House Dance and Voguing was re energized by the Ballroom battles that Dupree put together in New York Drag scene and Madonna's song could have been influenced by the Ballroom Battles. I was fortunate in the late 80s and early 90's to watch this dynamic scene play out. The performances, and artists were in a word, FABULOUS. Canadian Grandma. Lori.C.

"This Used to be My Playground"

[@stephm.3407]

Madonna's first album, released in 1983 self titled 'Madonna" coincided with MTV 's music video boom, and she set everything on fire, we had never seen anything like her before. Literally millions of girls in high school and junior high dressed like her (many people who think of 80's dress think of neon, this look was a HUGE part of the 80's - if you ever go to an 80's party, this is the look I would go for), I'm sure I still have lace gloves somewhere. Her first popular songs were "Holiday', 'Lucky Star', "Burning Up', 'Borderline', her first album (and subsequent albums of course) was one hit after the other. I think any of those songs give a much better flavor of how she started. Vogue was in 1990, and as an artist, she had already evolved quite bit by then. Check out her early stuff.

[@christinemeadows8789]

I completely agree her earlier stuff was totally awesome.

[@sanigirlmpls3732]

A brilliant reaction! So much fun to see someone react to this for first time. Also, as someone who has loved Madonna since I was 10, in 1987, I’d say it’s best to ignore people who say that Madonna’s earliest hits are her best work - those people have failed to grasp the most extraordinary thing about her which is the sheer longevity of her career and that she has never been a legacy artist. She is constantly reinventing herself and every single era of her 40 year career rewards exploration. Her most recent tour finished in early 2020, literally just before the pandemic, and was one of the most commercially successful tours of the year, by which time she was in her 60s. She’s a phenomenon.

Voguing came from the ballrooms that was shown on the tv show Pose. Jose Extravaganza is the gentleman with the facial hair in the video. He was a voguer in the ballrooms and was a member of the House of Extravaganza. He joined the house in 1986 and that style of dancing started to become mainstream in 1990. Jose is shown in the movie Paris is Burning and is shown voguing in competition. In 2012 he became the House Father for the House of Extravaganza. He also choreographed this video

Madonna is the best selling female artist of all time for a reason. What I love about her is that each album sounds like a completely different artist and she is so completely diverse. Like a Prayer is probably everyone's favorite track from her, which is from the late 80s, but for me anything from her 1998 Ray of Light album is golden. She was always known for her creative videos and intricate world tours that were like theater productions that always broke attendance records.

[@kelstwin3176]

AGREED!

[@KayeWhye]

With a degree in broadcasting, I'd like to offer some audio advice. I love how excited you two get, but the volume of the playback needs to be the same as y'all's mic. I keep having to turn up/down the volume whenever y'all go from the song to speaking. It's a small thing really, but it would help folks enjoy your videos more. I offer this advice out of love, not to cast shade. I enjoy your channel, and I hope that it continues for a long, long time. Hell, if y'all reacted to just the music I know, at 3 videos a day, I could watch y'all till Luka graduates high school!

[@anthonybardarama]

It's not a small thing. The volume for the music needs to be adjusted so one can hear it without adjusting the volume ever time. The videos are great. I've loved Madonna since Everybody. It amazez me how the younger generation are not familiar with her. Lol I thought she was familiar to all. :)

[@bakilacat1]

Ray of Light is a later one by Madonna that’s pretty cool.

[@kelstwin3176]

YES! I love Ray of Light!

[@annother3350]

Yes. I was playing Beautiful Stranger the other day too - sounds great!

[@sewdesire]

I really love the song Zephyr (I hope that I got the name of this song right) from the Ray of Light album/cd.

[@bakilacat1]

@@sewdesire that whole album is good. I named my Ford Escape zephyr.

[@sandralyn5869]

I'm so happy that you chose this as your first Madonna tune. It's my favorite by her!

[@ganglion101]

You should really do some of her early stuff. Watching her evolution as she got more control over her music is interesting. Her early stuff is really poppy and sweet. Watching her style and sound evolve is just fun. To be honest I was more of a rocker but Madonna was everywhere, you couldn't help but see/hear her. She was/still is captivating. Like a Virgin. Pappa don't Preach. Just find something from early-mid 80's. Work your way up from there.

[@deegomez2089]

LOVE LOVE LOVE Madonna 's song True Blue. A throwback to the 50's. Probably my fave song 🎵🎶

[@moanman1776]

Iconic. Stylish. Seismic. Artistic AF. So she did not invent Vogueing. She certainly brought it into the general public & America's living rooms. So props on that, "Maddy." Arguably, this is one of Madonna's very best videos.

[@sarahholland2600]

Kind of astonished he wasn't that sure who Marilyn Monroe was! Madonna's look at the time she recorded Vogue referenced Marilyn. I remember she also did a photoshoot in a costume from one of Marilyn's films with her Monroe look. Madonna's 'Material Girl' is a homage to Marilyn's song 'Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend'. The pink dress she wears in the video is an almost exact copy of Marilyn's costume.

[@kcw]

Madonna is one of the best (and often controversial) entertains of our era.

[@laminage]

Also keep in mind that she didn't "Create" Vogueing. This was popularized in The African American LGBT Community that was named after The Magazine where the folks emulate The Poses in The Magazine. The Dancers were the same Folks who were part of her Blond Ambition Tour. They later talked about their Lives in Strike A Pose. Sadly Two are HIV Positive. Carlton at 2:46 and Silam "Slam" Gawloos who wears a White Scarf. Another one of her Dancers Gabriel died of AIDS who represented The First Generation to die of The Disease.

[@zortil]

I'm old enough to remember seeing Madonna on American Bandstand in 1984. A few years later, I went to her Vogue tour in Houston, and it was amazing! You should also try these Madonna songs: Into the Groove, Papa Don't Preach, Burning Up, Material Girl.

[@michaelprovins2465]

THE SONG MADONNA SINGS ON THE MOVIE 'A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN'

[@ashleyholmes9876]

The song is This Used To Be My Playground

[@John_Chu]

Madonna’s earliest hits are her best work: Burning Up, Lucky Star, Holiday, Borderline, Material Girl, Like A Virgin, etc. Funky, smooth, danceable, lots of fun.

[@robindavisduckworth8992]

Ya, i like this song least

[@discoduck2288]

Don’t forget “Everybody!”

[@johncampbell756]

The thing with Madonna is that she earned the title of being the Davif Bowie of pop because both her look and sound has been ever changing. My favorite by her is "Live to Tell" a ballad for a movie her then husband was in. Her debut was fantastic. "Borderline," "Holiday", etc. What I think would be great would be to do a double shot. Madonna's official video for "Like a Virgin" followed by Weird Al's video fior "Like a Surgeon." Lots of fun.

[@theidajawho]

"Material Girl" and "Like A Virgin" were the two that put her on the map start Rob there. If you begin at an artist beginning then the growth they is much more evident and enjoyable. START WHERE THEY STARTED! Easy Right! If you do that with EVERY artist then the order of their catalog will make more sense as well. It is a Win, Win, Win, Win, right. TY for reaction guys!

[@ADayInPR]

Why can't most people just make it this simple? But, I wouldn't say that for all artists.

[@theidajawho]

@@ADayInPR it was how we came to know the artist. Their big hit first, that would snag us. Even though some bands their first album is not the best it was the song that broke on the radio or MTV that started it.... ie. White Zombie

[@breebree9319]

Very true

[@tdtone2]

My favorite Madonna song is Music... gets me out of my seat each time I hear it!

[@kkeenan536]

People she named were all famous mostly actors, actresses. She was/is a great dancer as well as her singing

[@Triggerhippie70]

Madonna to me is my life growing up in the 80’s-90’s. I grew up in such an amazing time and proud of it. The memories are endless!

[@mrrandywatson925]

U gotta do "Papa don't Preach" Madonna. Great song💯

[@barefootgroupie4504]

In a word: Iconic.

[@Kauritree08]

Such a great vibe. Iconic Madonna.

[@calisasilvertail]

A Madonna song similar to this, but hits harder is "Express Yourself." For a storytelling song, I'd go for "Papa Don't Preach." For controversial, "Like a Prayer." For funkadelic vibes, "Music." For heavy emotions, "Live to Tell." For something that your daughters might like, "Dear Jessie."

[@mattjohnson9054]

LOVE Dear Jessie!!

[@sharonjamesmcgee5696]

This song was played at every dance club, high school dance, and wedding reception in the mid- 80s to early 90s.

[@walterpanovs]

This award-winning video was directed by David Fincher shortly before he became hugely successful with his film work (Seven, Fight Club, The Social Network, etc.).

[@soapfan1977]

I think of the week I spent with my aunt in Coney Island in 1990 when I think of this song. Those are some great memories. I was twelve years old when this song was released.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

A little tidbit: My brother's fiance is the great-granddaughter of the woman who painted all those paintings in this video and also the nude woman painting in the beginning of Madonna's video "Open your heart". The artist name is Tamara De Lempicka. She is known as the pioneer of Art Deco. Madonna owns a bunch of her paintings. 😊

[@calvinlocklear4852]

Justify my Love and Secret are awesome

[@tiffanyeyoung1800]

I have been a fan of Madonna for as long I can remember. She's absolutely awesome! I can name so many that I hope you both react to

[@DaedBoi]

Alanis Morissette - Uninvited. The live version with the full orchestra will change your life!

[@stevenalexander403]

G'day it's Steven from Down Under I really like watching younger generations enjoying the Queen of Pop. There are many brilliant songs from Madonna to enjoy. All hail the Queen of Pop

[@leslapins7617]

Every Madonna song is completely diifferent of the other. An different artist in each song. Mainly people named by her were cinema icons.

[@meredithchandler73]

All but Joe DiMaggio.

[@One_Proud_Papa]

The best song for her voice, IMO, is Like a Prayer. And the video is awesome.

[@kevincaulder9001]

Madonna has always channeled her inner Marilyn Monroe. Her video for MATERIAL GIRL does just that. The hands framed around her face are meant to act as a frame for the pose she is issuing or the image you would see on the cover of a magazine i.e. Vogue. Madonna has always been a fashion influencer and incorporated it in many videos. Her original look from '83 for the song LUCKY STAR was popular with youth girls and some boys for 2 years. Even though she had abandoned the look a year earlier. But you must watch her performance at the 1984 MTV awards as she writes andenrages parents at the time with her wedding dress in LIKE A VIRGIN. Her big money fabulous life skills are on display even as she was pregnant for the dance song, MUSIC.

[@janleonard3101]

Yes! The video for "Material Girl" was inspired by Marilyn's performance of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" from the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

[@shanonmatheson2309]

Omg y'all, Madonna has soooo many songs worth listening to ❤️

[@eileendovernyc]

There is soooooo much context to this song. It shined a spotlight on the lgbyq community especially the lgbtq communities of color. Voguing has a rich history growing out of Harlems ball room scene in New York City. This song is revolutionary and not to be taken at face value. The names are all old Hollywood actors and actresses some of whom were emulated in the ball rooms and some of whom were just iconic in their own way. You guys are in my top 5 channels but you crushed me on this one. Usually y’all are so informed. Also the commercials in the middle of the videos 2 and 3 times. I’m not going anywhere bc I love you guys commercials or not and I know you guys need to make money bc you work so hard and it shows but this is the only video that I was not thrilled to see. I adore you both and I had a channel once and when I didn’t know the context or did too many commercials I lost my base. I love watching you guys so I say this with total respect and adoration because I look forward to seeing you guys react. And I LOVE how Janis and Joe Cocker and procal haram touch y’all so deeply bc I feel the same way. Stay safe and keep up the good work. Check out Madonna girl gone wild mdna tour 2012. It’s the opening of the concert. She was in her 50s and she served like she was 20 something! You’ll love it. I promise

[@kiandraplummer2095]

YES! So important these folks are given the credit they deserve

[@mnmmnm8321]

Vogue is, like like like like THE BEST

[@sallysharp3845]

Madonna is the forerunner of today's female artists. They have basically modeled themselves after her. Frankly she was 40 years ahead of her time.

[@NV2-Kauiki]

Me looking for more Madonna reactions like 👁👄👁

[@rodb9275]

I like most of Madonna's 80's stuff. Maybe a little of the early 90's stuff. I'm not sure what my fav song is. This is definitely top 3. I can't say I'm a big fan of her today. She is kind of ... eh, I won't go there. lol. Great reaction. You should do more of her stuff. Papa Don't Preach is a favorite of mine too. In To The Groove is another. ("You can dance.... for inspiration... come on come on... I'm waiiiiiting...) lol

[@nonilove017]

I feel like vogue means jus being yourself. Posing & dancing in your own unique style...just naturally, feelin the music! Ya'll don't even know how HUGE this song is!💜
