FIRST TIME SEEING Madonna LIVE! Express Yourself | Blond Ambition Tour 1990 REACTION

[@s.tupper4159]

The Blond Ambition Tour rocked the industry and forever raised the bar on what is expected in a concert experience. Madonna tours are not simply concerts, they are a theatrical experience. Even her current Celebration tour is wowing long time fans and she is 65!. Love your reaction!!

[@QuelquefoisFois]

It's funny how she toured for just four months; these days you're expected to tour for two years without stopping. 😁

[@teralmiles]

She radiated so much power in 1989/1990, when she became the Queen of Pop. I can’t even tell you how huge she was, worldwide back then!!!

[@QuelquefoisFois]

I remember going to a Kmart in a small California town and saw 10 different magazines with her face on the covers, summer 1990 was so fun!

[@manolis40112]

Oh yes you can! Exactly as we remember it - She was huge as Noone else on the planet so far to this day. Yup she was.

[@kimbaedie]

Your enthusiastic reaction is exactly how we all feel watching her live!👍👍

[@HaileyJackson10]

I love Madonna so much she’s the Queen of pop

[@charlesr63]

Loving your reaction. The Blond Ambition Tour set a whole new standard for live performances.

[@catschorus4684]

This tour was the template for everything that followed it.

[@TheAngelmuse]

Great reaction! This tour was a game changer in live concert shows. This was in the Summer of 1990. We are just coming out of the 80s, and Madonna hits the road with this show. Stuns the world. Highly controversial and was considered the Best Concert of the 90's

[@zivo24]

That you thought she was a “good girl” is hilarious. She embraced her sexuality and power like no one else before her. Her concerts are EVENTS.

[@impopquiz]

back then, add in her MTV releases. 😅

[@e.s.7272]

The brilliant Vincent Paterson was the choreographer of the Blond Ambition Tour. He was also Michael Jackson's choreographer for over 15 years.

[@steven-yu3tu]

Now that is a superstar.🔥

[@soilofk]

HER ENERGY, HER POWER, HER PRESENCE, HER PERFORMANCE EVERYTHING IS PERFECT!!! QUEEN!!!

[@balovett]

Oh wow, this brings me back. Madonna was at her peak here. She owned the pop world. My friends and I went to see her on this tour and it was an epic show. Watching it now I'm struck by how much of her vocals and backing vocals are on the backing track. Madonna and her backing singers/dancers are clearly singing over the backing track vocals, but at times, especially during the heavier dance sequence, the backing track vocals are dominant. Loved your dancing and singing along. The show gets even more racy. She was pushing the boundaries with this tour. In some cities there were protests and even threats of arrest as she documents in her movie MADONNA: TRUTH OR DARE.

[@dalee72]

What city did you see her in? BTW it was only in Toronto that she was threatened with arrest. No other cities threatened to arrest her. But the Pope and the Vatican tried to spread negative propaganda about the show to try to discourage people from seeing the show and I think that the Pope may have threatened to or did excommunicate her for the 2nd time because of this show.

[@balovett]

@@dalee72 All the protesting and threats of arrest seemed rather silly, even at the time. We caught her when she played in Chicago.

[@SephPlays]

What the heck!? This makes me wonder just how racy it got if they threatened to arrest her!???? 😱

[@blueeyes4910]

I missed your videos about Madonna, this is the most iconic tour in history

Omg!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@duane_313]

Your reaction is adorable! 😄 Yes, this set design is truly groundbreaking in the realm of pop music. It completely redefined the standards for pop concerts. Additionally, the outfit, famously designed by fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier, has become iconic.

[@todddepue681]

"Do you believe in love?" is what she says in French at the beginning.

Watched this show at Wembley Stadium in 1990. Seen her live on every tour since 1987 to her recent tour. You should for sure take a madonna journey, especially her concerts.

Just saw her in December 2024 .. she irradiated the same energy ., Madonna is ageless ..

[@Mx.RumpusParable]

The giggles are so cute. Indeed, "spicy" is a word for her.... Yep, singing in real time. Madonna was trained as a formally trained dancer before she went out to pursue her singing career so learning choreography and maintaining good breath while dancing she had a leg up on in starting.

[@SephPlays]

I tell ya thats a lot harder then it looks. Some people cant even walk and talk properly. For her to do this is just impressive to me 😍

[@Mx.RumpusParable]

@SephPlays Heck yeah, not easy. Lotta folks take that for granted watching singers who do active choreography!

[@oceanlover3530]

This was one of the best Madonna reactions I’ve seen on KZbin! You’re awesome! More Madonna please! ✌🏻👍🏻✌🏻

[@GAMASPLASH]

Madonna is pure energy. No other artist in history music haves so much energy

[@helmutferreira1354]

The costumes are by Jean Paul Gaultier

[@njg247]

This is Madonna Gold.Jean-Paul Gaultier designed this conical bra corset ensemble which became synonymous with Madonna in the 90's. When he released his now classic feminine Fragrance in '92 or '93 , the bottle took the shape of a woman's upper body that bore a striking resemblance to this outfit.She says: Do you believe in love? in French at the beginning. Definitely keep going with Blond Ambition. Madonna is firing on all cylinders and just superb.

[@bellosardo84]

she said "est-ce que tu croix a l'amour?" which means "do you believe in love?", which is the opening line of the song.

[@PearlsOfPassion]

I saw this concert in Sweden, and it was mindblowing live! Beyond amazing. :) The factory backdrops are a nudge to the video Express Yourself, which was inspired by the silent classic movie Metropolis by Fritz Lang. :)

[@ArtistPhotographer-j7i]

The opening of Express Yourself is inspired on the movie METROPOLIS ...one of the most awesome silent films. Madonna was the pioneer of what you see now on live concerts. You aint see nothing yet!!

[@rosmad3629]

Like the videoclip

[@ricardoneira2542]

Yes!!! Please,.MORE BLOND AMBITION TOUR REACTION . THANKSSSS

[@richardc8795]

Her concert tours are a mixture of live singing, and audio backtrack. She sings over top of her own audio, enabling her to dance and sound good at the same time. I was at this tour. She was the biggest star on the planet at the time, the show sold out in about 10 minutes flat. It was very hard to get tickets.

[@dalee72]

She said "Do you believe in love?" in French. She would say that question in the native language of the country that she was performing in and mention the city as well. The staircase was part of the stage floor and would get propped up and unfolded out and move against the raised factory platform which was also raised from the stage floor where she would be raised up by lift from beneath the stage floor. She was singing along with a backing track for the times when she was dancing. The cone bra corset was and most of the costumes of this tour were designed by the French fashion designer Jean Paul Gauthier whose design she started wearing in 85 when she wore the black corset like dress held up by clip on suspenders at the American Music Awards to present the award for the best black album which Prince won and then she wore a white identical copy of the same dress at the Desperately Seeking Susan premiere in L.A. I saw his exhibit at the deYoung museum in SF and it was great. FYI Michael Jackson wore a similar outfit for his Dangerous Tour with the gold/yellow top with the crotch going over his black pant legs. You should react to her concert tours and music videos from the beginning of her career in order to appreciate her evolution as an artist. I'm requesting that you continue on where you left off with Borderline, Lucky Star and Like A Virgin and the early TV show performances of Everybody, Holiday and Borderline and then the Virgin Tour and the Who's That Girl Tour please.

[@SephPlays]

Thank you for filling me in ❤️ I'm definitely going to carry on with her now that im getting better "I had to take some time off because of a long spell of illness" but im back now 😀

[@kristianberg4264]

You enjoyed this so much, you should for sure react to her live performance at the 90-91’ Oscars live, it will knock your socks off, one of her best!! Her date that night was Michael Jackson also.😊

[@yanncyrius]

ICONIC ! The Best Pop Concert all of time !

[@williamquinlan6153]

I think it's time for a reaction to Like a Virgin, Madonna's musical flashpoint afterwhich everyone knew who she was and music wasn't the same.

[@gamerlest509]

You have to react to the whole show. Its mindblowingly good

[@dfa3366]

I believe the Nice concert was the last concert of her world tour. Started in Japan, then US/ Canada then Europe.

[@moonstone1159]

This was a landmark tour that changed the Pop spectacle for performers. She wrote this song for a friend who had just broken up with her boybriend. (The friend was the actress Jennifer Grey). The distopian factory setting was based on the early 20th C film "Metropolis" by Fritz Lang.

[@blondambitionlove]

Yes please review the whole show! Great reactions btw

[@TheAngelmuse]

Madonna sings some live and, at times, sings along to Backtracks throughout the shows, depending on the song and the physical choreography, like the opening number. Also, fun fact:all train on treadmills while singing the songs. That way, they are conditioned to be moving, dancing, and singing and don't get too winded.

[@SephPlays]

They sing on treadmills!?????? Hahaha i love this. Very clever!

[@joelscottarnold3262]

Interesting tidbit about this song- it was inspired by Jennifer Grey of Dirty Dancing. She and Madonna had become good friends while doing Bloodhounds of Broadway. Grey was going through a breakup with then boyfriend Matthew Broderick. The line, “Don’t go for second best, Baby” is a tongue in cheek reference to Grey’s character “Baby” in the film.

[@renelopez2726]

She said do you believe in love ❤

[@Project-jf3bz]

If you think this was in 1990. Madonna is the original feminist, there is only 1 Madonna ❤

[@danielknight1378]

At the beginning of Express Yourself, when she speaks French, Alright Nice, I just wanna know one thing, croyez-vous en l'amour? cause I got something to say about it, and it goes somethin like this. Translation to full English 》 Alright Nice, I just wanna know one thing, do you believe in love? cause I got something to say about it, and it goes somethin like this.

[@MaryGreen-b4c]

Madonna and Michael Jackson is the same age: Also. Michael wanted Madonna to perform with him in his Short Film, In The Closet

[@e.s.7272]

But after Madonna presented Michael with her ideas about the lyrics and the video concept and demanded, among other things, that Michael cut his hair, Michael thought she was far too provocative and canceled the whole idea of a collaboration.

[@sammy_the_uncool2702]

Deleted my 1st comment. It was too ramble- y. (As I do get sometimes. Ya know me 😄) Anyhoo! What Madonna said in French: "Do you believe in love?" I cannot believe you have never heard this song. I loved it growing up. What the lyrics mean to me: Material things go in and out fashion. New models of cars, electronics, etc and so forth will always go obsolete and be replaced with new models. Don't be a thing to your partner that they can replace. You are a human being. You deserve better. Emotional investment, care, and security is what matters. The material is immaterial. Hope that makes sense. And Seph if you watch the music video to this one I think the stage set up will make more sense to you. In 1990 I was 6 years old 😉😂 FABULOUS REACTION SEPH 👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹🙌💃🙌💃🙌💃🙌💃 Thank you for sharing 💐 Peace ✌, light 🌞, love 💖, & blessings 🙏 to you & yours & to one & all here as well 💕

Unfortunately the quality of the video was a bit off, but no, she's not lip syncing. This was the last concert of a VERY long and exhausting world tour. If you ever have the chance to watch her (first of its kind) documentary "Truth or Dare" ("In Bed with Madonna" internationally), you'll see that at one point on this world tour, she had to cancel some concerts due to severe exhaustion and losing her voice.

Madonna snubbed me twice. Once close up while in the back of a black car entering 'Earls Court' (the venue) London., and once during a concert someone paid for me to see at Wembley Arena, London. I like her very early songs (mid 1980's) she had much talent then, but agree with Sir Cliff Richard and others that she made many 'sexual' records in order to sell more. She was never a great actress either, apart from maybe 'Evita' where she was made for the part.
