Strike A Pose Everyone! Madonna's Live VMA performance of Vogue!!!

[@francisnguyen5700]

In 2022, the staff of Billboard ranked at number one this performance in their "22 Best VMAs Performances of All Time". We don't see this kind of performance in VMA nowadays.

[@xoxxobob61]

It was a Iconic performance even decades later!

[@thisisitreactions]

No lie. It was a great performance. Still is amazing all these years later. ❤👍🏿

There were no LED screen or pyrotechnics, or even laser lights. Just pure performance from start to walking off stage.

Madonna The Queen of Pop

[@pweiner7597]

Madonna was a great dancer and a perfectionist - this was a masterful performance in concept and execution.

[@loridanarandolph2648]

Madonna was qlways great at brining issues to the forefront and always pushed the boundaries. She wasnt aftaid of contravery, she embraced it!

[@angeloc.6550]

She did “brine” the issues. Like subjugating queer culture, stealing lyrics and melodies, and generally being unoriginal. There’s a reason why she’s totally over now lolllll. Catchy but crappy music gets you as far as 2002.

[@billiejoearmstrong3741]

@@angeloc.6550😂😂you’re so wrong guy. Good luck

[@NandoDisco]

@@angeloc.6550 Subjugating queer culture? Oh please. 🙄 No one was giving any attention to the gays when everyone was dying of AIDS. They were mocked, judged and held in contempt at the time of this release. This is a life affirming song when the Reagan administration literally laughed at everyone dying. Two of the men in this performance had HIV and were terrified. Madonna showcased them as royalty while middle white America looked away. No one, not Michael, not Whitney, not Prince, not Cher, not anyone went as hard for the gays as her. So please, spare us with this stupid critique I keep seeing that lacks a ton of context.

Madonna The Girlie Show from '93. That entire live show is🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bethdealmeida6789]

Remember well, until this song came out, I had never taken Madonna seriously. After Vogue, she held my attention and respect!

Facts ❤

[@Sportsref13]

This song was a MONSTER hit for Madonna, was on Vert Heavy rotation on many radio stations( including the one I worked for) being played every 42 minutes.

[@TheGamerClubber]

MADONNA ❤ I went into 3 of her concerts... incredible energy

[@moonstone1159]

Everytime she performs Vogue in tour she does it in a different and unique way. The official video is iconic. I recommend 'Express Yourself' from her Blond Ambition tour (Paris).

[@thisisitreactions]

Thanks for the suggestion. 😃👍🏿

[@theKarstenR]

Great reaction, guys. I'd recommend her VMAs performance of "Express Yourself" (1989) or "Sooner or Later" at the Oscars (1991). Or really just any live performance from any tour she's ever done because she is just phenomenal live. No one like her.

[@thisisitreactions]

Thank you for the suggestion. 😊👍🏿❤

[@johnraymondbarker4]

Agreed--this performance and those two form a perfect triogy of sublime Madonna performances. She's freaking incredible. :)

[@yussepig6629]

The thing about Madonna is audiences can’t keep up with her. Just when you’re astonished and loving what she’s doing she’s moved onto something else. You gotta be open minded and curious to move with her.

[@cyberaga20]

She is amazing! No doubt. ❤👍🏿 -- Corey Roy

[@billyda1jack15]

Madonna a 🐐! I just got into her music over the past year. I slept on her for so long 😂 she got a lot of hits.

[@thisisitreactions]

Welcome to the journey! We are big Madonna fans! We like to introduce people to all genre of music. We are learning ourselves!!

[@adancer3592]

She single handedly made ot OK to play dance music on the Radio again . Like her or not She made everyone have to step up their game .

[@eliazarfincalero2300]

I am in awe, especially when recognition came from straight men for she's mostly known as ally to the LGBT's,. best of all the verification from black community (with respect) whom I regarded with high musicality standard gives a chill on me, just wow what a validation!!! This only shows how the world would be if we all have an open heart and mind, love, peace, justice and equality is never too far to attain...for that's what Madonna's message is all about...Thank you so much, and more power !!!

[@conuco26]

Great Madonna reaction! More Madonna reactions!! You will continue to be amazed, inspired and thrilled!

[@thisisitreactions]

Thank you, We will

Very few people are on this level. Madonna is the 6th most selling artist man or women or band of all time.

[@teralmiles]

I’m new here and have got to say, I’m in love with the dude in the middle during the reaction, living his best life. So cool to see the effect Madonna has on him. ❤

[@thisisitreactions]

😃👍🏿

[@AlexanderSki]

there’s something so positive and have such good energy, watching confident, attractive, straight men that are clearly successful and happy and pretty much confident within themselves to talk about a diverse community. That’s very different from them and share the different lifestyle and to be able to respect it and honor it it’s just amazing to seeand the way they communicate is pure education you can tell these guys are well spoken well educated they’re not ignorant and it’s pretty cool to see.

[@thisisitreactions]

Much love! We are just trying to be good worldly citizens! The arts are much more than what we see in our bubble. Hopefully we can inspire others to step out of their box!

[@hawck73]

Thanks so much for doing this. I am a big Madonna fan and loved this performance. Not 1800's Victorian times though...these looks were based on Marie Antoinette and the French court in the late 1700's. I remember it was so unexpected at the time, since it had such a different look than the video.

[@TheDivayenta]

I choreographed a hair show in Germany with these exact same wigs and costumes to Bette Davis Eyes in 1980! So I feel proud of myself after seeing Madonna do it ten years later.

[@aubreymark60]

[@renenielsen92]

would love to see you reacting to madonna live at the 95 Britt awards.

[@thisisitreactions]

Thanks for the suggestion. 😊

[@trevorbayers2175]

Your reactions were spot on. Laughing at the right spots, and in awe in the right spots. This was the best performance of Madonna ever of all time. Even though she lipsynced it, it didn’t matter and people didn’t care. The costumes, choreography and theme for this performance was brilliant. Madonna at this time was at her peak. After this, she was on top of the world for a while but started fading slowly. Of course now a days, she’s been done for the past 10 years now and kinda ruined her legacy. I’ve been to two concert tours of Madonna’s, but her upcoming Celebration Tour will be a complete dud. If the tour even happens. It’s already been postponed due to her illness. And now, she is having an incredibly hard job even preparing for the show with her knee wrapped, barely able to dance. I have a feeling the tour is going to be either postponed again, or cancelled altogether. I mean, shes what? 65 now?

[@andreweaston3599]

Man oh man did the comment about her tour age really poorly

[@Dammm2503]

More of the Queen.

[@thisisitreactions]

We'll definitely do more.

[@lorimoore4395]

So I don't know if y'all know this or not but in the early 80s Madonna also did a live performance of her song Like a Virgin on MTV on their award show and it was awesome

[@mariamayub212]

Really great reaction to this iconic performance! I remember being so excited to watch this when it was on MTV and everyone was talking about it the next day it was the most talked about performance obviously. Have you guys watched her 1989 MTV performance of Express yourself? That's another good one!

[@calvinlocklear4852]

Thanks for sharing. Love your reactions. My all time favorite VMA performance.❤❤

[@thisisitreactions]

So good!

[@TheDivayenta]

The official video to this is a work of art. Well worth watching! Madonna payed homage to gay and trans Black and Brown people who created the “ballroom “ scene in NY which included “ voguing”.

[@gregedgar6012]

I would recommend the documentary she had done about the concert tour she did around this time. It's called Madonna: Truth Or Dare(1991) and it really shows the good, the bad and the ugly about touring. She is almost arrested in Toronto. It's a fun watch. Enjoy. Thank you.

[@thisisitreactions]

Awesome. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@RobertaSirgutz-tu8xu]

Showed her star power. 7.5M views??!!

[@firouz256]

So ya'll pretend you haven't seen this video before? Damn! People do anything for clicks and likes these days. "I don't remember this performance!"Where have you lived? Under a rock? What have people like you been doing around 1990-1996? This performance and her "Sooner And Later" at the Oscars raised her above Michael with ease! The level of artistry, humor, professionalism, artistry and perfection won't ever be reached by any female performer. Ever! She was the one who put gays , Latinos and Black people in her videos, exposed them and their talents to a new audience and was living what people call "woke" today! Madonna did it all. She supported rap and hiphop, was the first person to put The Beastie Boys on the map by taking them on tour in 1985 , she spoke against censorship in music ....and dated 2PAC! Madonna IS IT!

[@stephen6799]

Like a Prayer from the Sticky and Sweet Tour, Ray of Light from Oprah, and Live to Tell from the Confessions tour are all good options.

[@tiffanyeyoung1800]

For the record gentlemen, she wasn't dressed like Queen Victoria. She's dressed like Marie-Antoinette and her court. Queen Victoria was way more conservative and would never have stepped out in public looking like that

[@castoputa]

She bought the costumes from the film dangerous liaisons

[@michaelcain9324]

Love this performance. And though she sang it live every night on tour at the time, this was lip-synced. But between the corset, the dress, and the one-shot choreography, she could never have sang live that night.

[@66.6FMRadio]

It's so refreshing to see old head black dudes not being homophobic because she had so many gay male dancers of color.

[@ajruther67]

Is has nothing to do with what you said. Vogue is a glamour magazine. You "vogue" pose for magazine photos. She mentions many actors/actresses from the golden era of Hollywood. If you know classic movies of the 1920's to the 1960's, you know these names. Greta Garbo and Monroe (Marilyn Monroe) Dietrich and DiMaggio (Marlene Dietrich Joe DiMaggio (baseball player), Joe was married to Marilyn Monroe during the time she filmed The Seven Year Itch. Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean (James Dean, only made 3 movies before he was killed in a car crash September 30, 1955) Grace Kelly, Harlow, Jean (Jean harlow 30's actress and was once married to Howard Hughes (look him up) Picture of a beauty queen Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire (both dancers and actors) Fred usually danced with Ginger Rogers in his movies. Rita Hayworth gave good face Lauren, Katherine, Lana too (Lauren Bacall, Katherine Hepburn, Lana Turner) Lauren 20 years younger than Bogart was married to Bogart until his death. Bette Davis, we love you

[@thisisitreactions]

Thank you so much for that information. It makes so much sense now as to why she mentions their names. Thanks for the insight. -- Corey Roy

[@ajruther67]

@THIS IS IT Reactions You are very welcome! I absolutely love classic films of the Golden age of Hollywood so I knew all those names before the song came out. I even love silent movies. I pretty much only watch old sitcoms and classic movies.

[@chryslinfitchgerald2347]
