FIRST REACTION TO MADONNA - Virgin Mary / Girl Gone Wild (MDNA)

[@escapingboredom6958]

She was 54 here and absolutely slaying. Confessions tour enterance will blow your mind. More Madonna reactions please

[@tapanim6576]

Madonna is the master of live shows, she has set the standars for artists of today.

[@n0sr369]

This concert was iconic. That intro had the whole arena pumping. The lightning and thunder effects were out of this world. No one does it like the Queen. 👑

[@MrKomninakis]

yup

[@NV2-Kauiki]

All her openings are incredible. All her concerts really. This is what people don’t get, you need to experience Madonna. She’s not just a singer or musician. She’s that but she is an entertainer, performer and artist. Everything has a meaning. From her videos, to the releases, to the albums, to the live concerts. They all connect in this thread of experimentation, evolution, and pioneering female empowerment.

[@tapanim6576]

Madonna is an Icon, a Legend.

[@Vertigotheatre1]

The utter master of live touring. Nobody touches her, she created this artform

[@kyleellis7865]

When it comes to Madonna, there’s one thing you can always count on and that’s what she’s gonna give you a SHOW! 😅

[@mjb78]

Great reaction Steven! Please more Madonna - her live performances are especially great. She's the queen of blasphemy and many of her performances juxtapose religious imagery with sexual themes that drive conservatives nuts lol. Someone else mentioned the live performance of Holy Water from Rebel Heart tour, which is even more extreme. All her tours have great moments like this, and she is the 👑 after all.

[@jdemd1977]

As others have stated, Madonna is a living legend, and the more you get to understand her career and the controversies she endured, many times to stand for equal rights when she was willing to risk her career. "Like a Prayer" is a song that tackled many issues ahead of it's time. In the music video/song, she brought attention to interracial relationships, equal rights and equal justice, racism, expressing her love for God but using sexuality not just to be provocative, but to show women now do as men do.

[@eliazarfincalero2300]

When it comes to live performances Madonna always ahead and above every standard she’s a leader in making of everything that’s never been before. MDNA concert was and still is the second top grosser concert by any female act only next to her own Sticky & Sweet tour which became the highest grosser of all time by a female artist and 4th over all concert artists. The set design , sound engineer, choreography, production value and Madonna’s performance were all impeccable that sets a new high level of quality and success standards. Throughout the passing of time with many artists coming and going, none of them proves to be even slightly closer to her artistry. Her music and live performances were all an experience and a chance for a lifetime rendezvous of celebration, she’s nothing short of giving the best time of our lives… After all she’s MADONNA the greatest of them all and Best selling female artist of all time!!! ❤️🇵🇭

[@LoveAge]

A Madonna concert is like stepping in to another dimension. I was invited first row at MDNA 10 mins before the concert began. I will not even try to describe that night. It is etched in my feeling memory forever. The highest of natural highs, ever. 🤩❤‍🔥

[@Mathiasr2150]

You need to watch « gang bang » live by madonna (MDNA tour) it’s. Amazing

[@georgecooleywaddell]

OMG - she does this EVERY tour! She started the theatrical tour with Blond Ambition! She created the artform, dude! She kicks everyone's ass every tour. She is the OG Badass, man, you need to investigate her more!

[@whodatninja1210]

I loveeee seeing Madonna reactions from folks who don’t know much about her. This entire tour was SICK. Confessions, Sticky and Sweet, and MDNA Tour are the Holy Trinity of pop tours.

[@Vertigotheatre1]

Watched this show in London with 60,000 other screaming fans. Seen her on every tour live since 87. She will always say what she feels.

[@marquesq.4499]

I've been hoping to see this reaction from you for a long time! It was insane watching this live! People don't realize that Madonna is legit. By her count, she's been excommunicated 3 times and was "banned" from Rome by the Pope. Others have had great suggestions for more reactions and here's my 2 cents for a few I think you'll probably like. 'Gang Bang' from this MDNA tour (it was rumored that Tarantino was gonna direct the music video, which sadly never happened), 'Future Lovers/I Feel Love' opening of Confessions Tour, 'Holy Water'; Rebel Heart Tour, 'Sky Fits Heaven' Drowned World Tour, and 'Justify My Love' from The Girlie Show Tour. You always come with great honest and exciting reactions while still expressing your views in a way that is really likeable and respectful. Can't wait to see more man.

[@MissAngie25]

Omg please do a deep dive into her work, she’s worth it. Religion is giant theme in her music and her aesthetics. You’ll love her.

[@steven-yu3tu]

Madonna is a living legend. Best selling female artist of all time. She was like 52 years old for this tour. Madonna has used religious imagery since day ONE. She is a religious / spiritual person, born catholic but she has always questioned its values. She also has found the catholic imagery to be a source of artistic inspiration and often blends spirituality with eroticism. Blasphemy has been used throughout Madonna’s career well before this performance. She has actually been excommunicated by the Pope on several occasions. Examples” Like a Prayer Video (1989), Holy Water Live performance (2015). I STRONGLY urge you to dive into her career of music videos and Live Performances….starting with her self-titled debut album. She has ALWAYS pushed boundaries and broke the rules of the status quo. Female empowerment, female sexuality, equal rights, self love, LGTBQ rights….always pushed buttons. I hope to see more from you!

[@cristoferchanimak]

I think she was almost 55!

[@steven-yu3tu]

[@nunogouveia6458]

She was born in 1958 so she was already 54yo here.

[@alysonmackesy8813]

Yeah love the madonna reactions, keep them coming! Each one of her albums has a totally different sound. Her concerts are always epic!

[@carlosazul2]

If you like this intro, watch "Future Lovers" from the Confessions Tour, for me this two intros are the best of her live shows.

[@johngalvin9927]

Future lovers from the confessions tour will blow ur mind on another level. I have just discovered ur channel and ur reactions are real.

[@mariamayub212]

He really need to watch The blonde Ambition tour, there is a whole segment where she performs in a church like setting and this harkens back to that time period I was in the triangle in Seattle for this tour and when that pendulum thing with swinging back and forth it was right over my head OMG it was so intense! Can't wait to see your other Madonna reactions!

[@travisgator1460]

also a good reaction is from the confessions tour the live to tell performance is very religous and pissed alot off. but the live performance of holy water from the rebel heart tour is amazing you will like it

[@tashaheadrick4384]

Hi, Steven! Loved your reaction to this! Please consider these for a reaction. Express Yourself-Blond Ambition Tour, Future Lovers/I Feel Love-Confessions Tour, Vogue-Sticky & Sweet Tour, Music-Drowned World Tour, Holy Water-Rebel Heart Tour & Into The Groove-The Virgin Tour. Madonna is not only the queen of pop music, but she is a great dancer & knows how to give you art, theatre, controversy & energy at every single concert and tour. Thank you for doing this reaction & sharing it with us!

[@Global-flyer]

Saw MDNA in london and just saw celebration tour in Barcelona. No one does it like the queen.

[@adrianodvalle]

Welcome to Madonna´s multiverse. Congratulations on starting with live performance, you chose one of the best!!! Now I suggest watching the Confessions Tour 2006 opening, Future Lovers/I Feel Love. Good journey!

[@jair8804]

Arguably, her best opening number. But let's get one thing straight: she's the best performer of all the times. No one can touch her level of creativity and effort when it comes to live shows. She's always reinventing herself until now, 2023. So, yes, this whole performance is more legendary and iconic than most of todays artists careers.

[@CGPOPPOOP]

This is why every one of Madonna's world tours broke records and outsold everyone else touring those years. She is by far the most diverse artist in pop music history. Every album/show is completely different than the last but not as a gimmick, as real artistic expressions of how she had grown/changed and what she experienced. Her shows are like theater, not just in the scope of the visuals, but she arranges the songs and sections of the show to tell a story. She's never gonna just stand there with a mic and sing her hits. She's as much a visual artist as a music artist. She's already over 50 in this clip and her energy is still incredible compared to artists half her age. She started when I was 4 years old and I'm 43 now. Still love this woman.

[@Guy-lo3ld]

It was awesome watching your reaction.👍🏻 Madonnna is a very controversial & interesting artist with mostly amazing tours. I think you would love her Gangbang performance from this tour. Lots of guns, shooting, acrobatics, & blood. Lol

[@muse9050]

You would love a deep dive into her work especially from her third album on where because of her commercial success she gained complete creative control .she is every bit the visual artist as a musical one..the ideas,the imagery,symbolism,the set design ,the choreography and most of her music catalogue all come from her creative genius ..she never gets the credit her artistry deserves but she still continues to provoke to push buttons and produce right up until today ..40 years

[@ehuffnsd]

Madonna created the modern pop concert spectacle back in 1990. she never walks on stage she appears. shes a classically trained professional dancer so shes all theatre. shes a performance artist. shes the blueprint, the original, shes always finding new ways to out do herself. this was 2012 so she was 54 and 30 years into her career. Shes always played with Catholic icongraphy. Madonna is named after her mother Madonna and both are named after The Blessed Virgin Mary or The Madonna. because her family was so devout she understands the meaning behind all the symbols and icons she uses.

[@clbernier2]

She entertains!!! The male dancers are in heels!!! Madonna always kills it in the live shows…she’s definitely an original. Modern day Josephine Baker and Diana Ross!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@michaelmaflamartinez242]

Loving the Madonna reactions.

[@LoveAge]

I'm officially Madonnas biggest fan in Finland. (since 2005) It has brought me a few "little" privileges over the years (i'm a fan since 84) like being interviewed by press and tv whenever she's been in Finland. (two occasions) AND getting invited first row to this very concert. Yes, suddenly her security crew came up to me and brought me from the audience to first row. Talk about Madonna knowing her fans. (And not only me, but everywhere she goes on tour) She treats her fans VERY well. She has a laugh and warm up in sweat pants and a cap without make-up, making jokes and jumping around like a little kid. That night for me, was so full of magic it is unforgettable, i was high for a year after that and can still recall the feeling. At the end of the concert (singing like a prayer) she came toward me, bent down and grabbed my hand a few precious seconds. It was one of those feelings of -oh now i can never again wash my hand! moments. (the only one in fact ;) And just like you, dear sir, i LOVE blasphemy. Lol. Gives me a good laugh, every time. And Madonna is an expert on the subject. Thank you for a really neat video. Subbed.

[@soilofk]

Love your reaction. I was there. She just got divorced from Guy. This performance takes you from the darkness into the light into back to life (if you see the whole concert). The first part is dark, she is dealing with demons and pain.

[@udrisx1923]

we need much more madonna live reactions!

I saw the opening night of this tour in Tel Aviv. Magnificent. Unrepeatable. Imagine seeing this in the Holy Land.

[@salonglosswoodstock5773]

[@purpledragonfly313]

Great reaction! So fun to see you do Madonna and I hope to see much more! Madonna is a true living legend and an icon. She grew up Catholic, studied dance (in the video she's 54 years) and it's always been a big part of her music and performances. Her mom dying when M was just 5 years old has had a big impact. She's a Rebel and she's funny and has both the really funky dance numbers, the soulful ballads and the cheeky songs that will make you smile.

[@StevenInStereo]

I can see her being very rebellious and I love that so much. it takes guts to stand against modern day society

[@petersavieri]

❤️‍🔥⚡️👑⚡️❤️‍🔥 So great to see someone come at her work from a different angle, and appreciate it so open mindedly. Once you’ve seen a good selection of Madonna killing it in the “blasphemy” stakes you should do a short reel or even a full episode listing your top 10 times Madonna was METAL AF

[@jair8804]

Keep reacting to her live performances pls. She's so iconic.

[@MisterCG]

You like blasphemy? Madonna is all about that! She's been doing that for 40 years. Her shows are insane. Madonna is a performing artist like no one else. Every show she does something completely different and her entrances are iconic.

[@rusteeoficial]

Yeaaah I was waiting for that from this channel 😍

[@choptankmonster]

100% I've been waiting for literally YEARS for Steven ro react to MADONNA. I am over the moon THRILLED that you started with such an iconic performance. Take a gander reacting to the Opening of The Confessions Tour/Future Lovers LIVE. The opening sequence of that show will knock your socks off.

[@erikm8372]

It does have some significance on her career, and her life, since you mentioned that. Raised Catholic, Madonna has always used Christian imagery and symbolism in nearly EVERY video and tour she’s done. Ok, maybe not ALL of them of course. But even if it’s just wearing a rosary around her neck, or some sort of crucifix necklace, she’s usually showing it somehow. Even though she’s not actively a practicing Catholic anymore, her childhood clearly was shaped by it. And her mother died when she was only five years old, and I’m sure that has some bearing on all of this, as well. Like idolizing Mother Mary since she didn’t have a mother most of her life... Only a few of her tours don’t include some sort of outright religious theming, like 2001’s Drowned World Tour, which was a little more ethereal & futuristic, more about the music and the storylines in the show, including punk rock, Geisha, western, Spanish, etc. Cool special effects in that tour, too. Her flying ninja battle on ‘Sky Fits Heaven’ is so good. But on other tours, she’s done things with Christian imagery, especially w the songs ‘Like a Prayer’ and ‘Oh Father’ performed as monks in robes (1990), or ‘Live to Tell’ performed on a glass cross, to call attention to world hunger and children starving. The cross was covered in mirrors for people to see themselves for once, and all she got was hate for that performance. But some people understood it… not to compare the two, but Lady Gaga utilizes many similar references to Christianity and Catholicism in her videos. Just look at ‘Judas’. That takes it to the extreme, especially if you know what to look for in the subtle details. So many people just say “this beat is dope” or “this is intense” without even recognizing the metaphors throughout. Gaga was raised in a Catholic Italian family, like Madonna, as well. So it’s something they both experiment with showing.

[@softshallow7435]

[@gustavoaimar8927]

Madonna en vivo?? Ufff... hay tanto para ver. Es siempre la mejor versión de Madonna.

[@TheANATOMIKAblogmag]

THIS TOUR COSTED she her marriage. At least that was one of the reasons his husband gave. The whole tour and albums is about her divorce, the trip from hell to heaven. The imaginary of a cathedral and gargolas at the opening is about her statement: Maybe I misbehaved but I wanted so badly to be good. The performance continues with violence and revenge to her failed marriage as she ended up accepting that she took a decision. She is better as an icon than a regular housewife.

[@troyrodriguez8540]

Fun fact, Madonna is the only artist that has the most censored videos and has been refused to perform in Italy by the pope.

Hello, I also recommend the video of the song Dark Ballet by Madonna one of his most 'experimental. Madonna was excommunicated 3 times by the Church 1 for the video Like a prayer 2 for simulating orgasm on a bed in concert in Rome during the song Like a Virigin 3 for crucifying herself during the Confession tour

Candy Perfume Girl live! Madonna's official first time playing guitar (Les Paul) in concert. She practically goes grunge/prog rock. She discovered her heavy metal guitarist Monte Pittman. He played for Prong and has his own stuff out. Madonna and Monte debut her guitar skills on Lettrman in 2001.

She always pokes at religion for being so oppressive towards female sexuality and expression and so anti-lgbt. People try to knock her and say she does these performances for attention but she's always done this stuff, even in the 80s when NO ONE of her stature raised their voice against religion and the treatment of LGBT (way back before it was cool!)

More more Madonna, please🙏🙏🙏 You must listen her albums catalog

[@briandubois-gilbert8182]

As a performing artist she loves portraying clashing or polar opposite themes in her music videos and concert tours-here she begins this tour that she themed “journey of a soul from darkness to light” and this opening segment she titled “Transgression”. She comes out here after reciting the Act of Contrition from a confessional booth as a militant angry Black Madonna toting and smashing a glass barrier with an AK-47 assault rifle seeking out her perceived “enemies” represented by those demon-looking winged gargoyle dancers, while the dancers who looked like praying monks discard their robes to reveal androgynous-looking buffed, bare-chested male dancers in black tights and high heels, to join Madonna in a number called Girl Gone Wild. It’s subversive imagery of the sacred to the profane, evoking the eternal struggle between good and evil-regardless of whether one views angels and demons as external entities fighting over human souls-or as in Madonna’s spirituality as a struggle between her inner angels and demons. She was raised Catholic and these themes and theology had profoundly “bedeviled” her and inspired her art. Luv your Madonna reactions, looking forward for more.❤😊
