Bad girl is such a gem in Madonna's catalogue

[@albertoolarte206]

Madonna’s voice is really unique and has its own beauty. Not just a singer but also a very good performer. ❤❤❤

[@bobbykatis]

And storyteller... ❤

[@FranklySpeaking.]

the _best_ performer of our time, bar none.

[@gonzalov5452]

Spears is no singer either. Nor is Minogue. Both voices are so fake,,so nasal

[@Matuteilcapo]

She's not Whitney, but man, the emotion she conveys when she sings ballads it's otherwordly, that's why I fell in love with her... Btw, Yesterday, the Guinness World Records' Book has updated the information on Madonna, she's still the Best Selling Female Recording Artist of All Time with +400 Million albums sold WORLDWIDE, only 4 acts have sold that much or more; The Beatles, Elvis, MJ and her. Impressive, right? for a woman that according some haters, can't sing. All Hail the Queen!

Well, but she writes better songs than Whitney Houston actually better than any other artist.

Bad Girl is really one of Madonna’s best ballad. Not only cos of the lyrics but the raw emotion in her voice that just conveys the sadness, pain & imperfection of vocal performance. I can only imagine she was nervous in this performance given that at the time Madonna was receiving a HUGE backlash cos of her Erotica & Sex book. This is an iconic performance 🖤

[@guillermovilla9517]

[@user-ey2vu2mk8m]

One of the most underrated songs of her massive song collection

[@Marc-zi5cq]

Love this song, its so gorgeous and meaningful. She looks stunning here. Her voice is so pleasant and makes you feel the lyrics. From what i heard she was live on Bad Girl at the Celebration Tour, thats why she lowered it to match her current voice.

[@seanweston5988]

I think after ‘Evita’ she has learned more technique in her singing, thus giving her more options and control. You can definitely tell when you listen to the Ray of Light album 💿 🎤

[@albertogiovannirinconalfar462]

Or watching her Ray of Light performances in 1998/1999

[@kristianberg4264]

More importantly, she found an octave she didn’t know she had, which is noticeable in her singing now.❤

[@Adriana-pc1qe]

Sim, ela estudou muito para Evita! Gosto do timbre da voz dela. Madonna canta muito bem, quando quer!!!!! Outra habilidade admirável é saber cantar músicas de outros intérpretes adaptando à sua voz.

[@GalaxyNexus1]

Ray of Light was heavily auto tuned. 🤔

[@Andrei-sg7lu]

Yes, Madonna has three voices; the early 80's dance pop voice, the late 80's early 90's era which has a bit more depth and soul, then the post Evita voice which is more technical and expansive.

[@rolandbaldwin]

This song is sensational and so cinematic and the video directed by David Fincher really matches it perfectly. I've always loved how vulnerable the recording is.

[@nicolemonrue]

I was hoping you'd watch this version of Bad Girl!! Her mic was definitely on, on this performance. A lot of the tracks from "Erotica" were recorded in one take and they did some minor overdubs. That's probably why the album has that gritty underground feel.

[@graphiquejack]

Madonna typically records her vocals in one take, as she wants to put emphasis on the emotion of the song rather than laying down a ‘perfect’ vocal. The small flaws are what make the song feel real, and relatable. Shes very smart, honestly, and brave because it opened her up to criticism about her voice, which is actually good, but some people expect more clean versions by artists who don’t feel vulnerable enough to allow for ‘mistakes’ in the recording like sharp or flat notes. Considering M is known to be a perfectionist, it’s actually rather interesting that she keeps vocals somewhat raw and real. Early on she must have been told or just naturally understood that it’s the imperfection of a vocal that makes the emotion come through.

[@Wallyrodriguez96]

This is one of her best performances live! Her vocals are incredible! On the Celebration Tour I think she's singing live, because in the opening night she forgot the lyrics at the beginning

[@battymu]

To me, her Bad Girl SNL performance is easily Top 3 performances of her career, vocally. I love that Bad Girl is on the tour and so many people are rediscovering it or finally listening to it for the first time. Gold 👌

[@MrKDHay]

It's such a great song and she sings it beautifully live

[@PauloCesarLira5]

She had loads of singing coaching and lessons when she was working on Evita (1996), that's why her technique improved so much This performance is from the beginning of the 90s. Even in the recordings themselves, you feel the difference pre Evita and post Evita. Listen to Ray of light and Erotica, for example. You can see the bits in ROL being much more intentional and precise. You are absolutely correct about her figuring out her voice in the beginning of her career. I think Erotica and also the Immaculate collection is when she's usually lower on her tone, and it makes sense, since she was singing very high on the early albums. I love this woman.

[@tarious4530]

I love that’s she’s singing these beautiful ballads form her amazing album EROTICA. Rain is on the celebration tour also which is my favourite ballad by her . She’s has 74 shows to do from now up until may next year if she’s singing along to a pre recorded version of her own voice that’s not surprise I think a lot of performers do this . Love love love MADONNA 💖

[@Jettypilelegs]

She took singing lessons when she was filming Evita which is why she came in so strong on the Ray of Light album, recorded immediately after. Bad Girl was before, when she still often struggled with control and tone. She was quite nasally and wasn’t as dexterous with moving between registers. She might be nervous because this song is from Erotica, (and it was her first single not to reach the top 30 on the Hot 100) an album that came with a lot of backlash that she surprisingly actually struggled to manage. A lot of people were over her at this point in her career. Hence her next, less in your face, album Bedtime Stories, which also wasn’t as massively successful as her previous works. Next was Something To Remember, a compilation of ballads, which was a conscious effort to soften her image.

[@brennanrobertson6572]

No one can sing a ballad like Madonna. She emotes unlike any other artist. Whitney and Mariah can belt, but Madonna sells the vulnerability. Live To Tell, Promise To Try, Rain, Bad Girl, Joan of Arc, Masterpiece.....brilliant!

[@paulgduckworth]

Just a note. I think SOME of the Celebration Tour is completely live, as I’ve seen her drop her mic and there is NOTHING there. Nice to see you again. x

[@p.m.6064]

Her vocal performance was the best in 1993, at least when we look at the times before she took singing lessons for Evita. There are several performances from her Girlie Show that have amazing vocals: Rain, Express Yourself or La Isla Bonita among others.

[@iohanasilva3721]

I love this song, thank you for analysing it! Madonna definitely improved her singing skills in the late 90s specially after Evita era. She has never been a technical singer, but has always released great songs! Each album is completely different from one another it's insane how creative she is

[@stephenoreilly2355]

So happy you did this reaction!! I have become obsessed with this song since she sang it on this tour. Such an underrated classic of a song 🎵

[@peterjamescollins8753]

She looks amazing here and i think it’s such a hard song to sing as the verse and chorus are sung differently ..and it seems quite a wordy song for some reason

[@graphiquejack]

I agree it’s challenging to sing which is why she had t performed it on tour before now. The range is huge… she’s challenging herself in the high notes and the low notes. This is definitely near the max of her range, which is impressive.

[@victorhunter8900]

@@graphiquejack I think she sings the high notes better than the low ones in this particular song.

[@salvadordehyrule7261]

Madonna learned a lot during Evita, that's why Ray Of Light has an amazing vocal quality, but she still didn't have total control of the Evita voice live. I think it's from The Drowned World Tour (2001) onwards that she really found her voice.

[@ms.b9093]

The Reinvention Tour features her best live vocals! She was still taking vocals lessons and she was out to prove she was still relevant after the poor showing of American Life album.

[@Adriana-pc1qe]

Verdade!!! Ray of light é um de seus melhores álbuns na minha opinião.

[@althyk]

She is not just singing, its a show. There is a band with blind people who can play in the dark and has her in the end ripping the picture of joey in the end... Beautiful.

[@Marc-zi5cq]

Congratulations to Madonna, the best-selling female recording artist on the Guinness World Records, as the ultimate authority on record-breaking achievements has finally aknowledged that she had sold over 400 million records during her career, albums and singles, including digital

[@01HGG]

I am so glad you are revisiting this classic and various versions. Between Erotica album/SNL and the Celebration Tour, she had professional vocal training for Evita. It completely changed her voice (for the better, in my opinion).

[@asherixie]

When she goes into nasal resonance it sounds really good! The notes sounds more clear.

[@charalambos]

I enjoy your Madonna reactions as a huge Madonna fan. I love how confident you’ve become! 🔥 ❤️

[@simonc4510]

Awww this is so cool! She definitely had a VERY different voice pre Evita, but it’s really nice for it to be analysed like this as she always got so much flack for not being able to sing around this time, when she totally could! I think most of the Erotica album was done in minimal takes and most of the vocals were intended to sound cheap as they wanted it to have like a phone sex feel, so the original Bad Girl would have intentionally left the mistakes in to make it sound raw! It’s my fave album of hers and I’m glad she’s revisiting so much of it and lovely videos like this are being made! 🙃

[@chocolatnoir1108]

lol cheap? hear the vocal effects - reverbs - or anything you may call, Bad Girl is the clearest and crispiest song in that album, they have us listen to the words and emotions clearly, the second to me is Rain - though involving more reverbs - more flowy and dreamy like. while the other - like you said - cheap. I would say, not subtle. in Fever, it is actually clear but she sings softly, Deeper & Deeper - she sings normally but the effect is added with loud background vocals by Niki&Donna - less clear than Bad Girl. well above all, looking at all of her music catalogue, what accross my mind is : RICH🎉 for the easiest way to think : compare Erotica album with I’m Breathless😂 OR with Like a Prayer. I cant imagine the same production earlier applied to Erotica. that wont work.😮 EROTICA is the best in its own way, that’s why that album is underrated. especially most of the songs are damn long❤ thankyou for sharing with me❤

Having known the album version of this song for 30 years (!) it’s fantastic to hear your analysis of Madonna’s performance. I’ve never heard the SNL performance. It’s great to hear her truly live.

[@davidmuller9938]

She was naturally a lower-set soprano, so the higher parts always came easier as you can hear in this performance. Now she is more of a mezzo due to age with much better lows.

[@sonicboy19]

I agree with your points on M's live performance of Bad Girl! In case it hasn't been mentioned, I thought I'd give a bit of back story on the original album recording of the song. As with many of the songs from the Erotica album, the lead vocal tracks that ended up on the album were from early demos recorded in the apartment of her collaborators Shep Pettibone and Tony Shimkin as the tracks were being written. With Bad Girl, in the original demo version she repeats the first verse after the first chorus, as she had yet to finish the lyrics. It was only when they moved to a proper recording studio that Madonna came up with the lyrics for the second verse. According to Shep, they tried re-recording the track in the studio with the added lyrics included but they preferred the sound of the demo vocals, so they ended up bringing the microphone they had used to record the demo into the studio to record the second verse and left the rest of the vocals intact from the earlier demo.

[@dawidszymanski4127]

Madonna is wonderful. there is so much emotion in her voice, and perfection is boring, it doesn't have to be perfect for tears of emotion to flow.

Her voice is actually in great shape… its lower which is completely normal for women as they get older, but she still has good control of it. The current tour is proving she’s still got it. Where she is struggling is her lack of movement, but considering she’s 65 and nearly died earlier this year, no one can fault her for that.

Love this Madonna content as a longtime fan of both Queens ..you and Madonna . I am just back from the Antwerp gigs 2 in a row and can confirm that she was singing live apart from things like justify and erotica which are just spoken mostly. Even though there is loads of songs a lot are shortened verses etc ! But her vocals , as Stuart Price had said in Billboard , are way more central and in fine form!

I watched your review of her Celebration Tour rendition...I watched other fan-made videos on KZbin from various nights and she absolutely is singing live - 100% - at least from the clips I saw. Anyways...thanks for revisiting.

I've been taking sining classes for two years now, and I have the same characteristic...I overthink because I'm always trying to be perfect and it does create a lot of tension... And seen Madonna having the same issues (8 years after her 1º album) and relaxing during the song makes me think that it's not easy to just relax.

Thank you for this video :) this is one of my favourites, and you Georgina are incredible as usual!

[@soundslike1life]

Madonna didn't start taking singing lessons until she prepared to record Evita, during which she discovered parts of her voice she didn't know she had. The recording of Bad Girl on the album is most likely her demo vocal, one of the first takes or the very first take of the song. The album vocals on Erotica album are rough, less produced and often the demo vocals because they wanted a gritty unpolished feel for that particular album.

[@carlotanching]

Who told you that she was not taking vocal lessons before Evita? She was and still a businesswoman up to date so before her career she spoke to some record producers and even to vocal trainers. She knows how to play the game since she is not actually a singer but more of a performance artist

[@Sona1srle]

You nailed it with "perfection is boring"... Songs like these are not about perfection. When she recorded Bad Girl, Madonna decided to use the mic that is used for instruments (instead of the one customised for her voice) in order to have her voice and the emotions behind it to be as raw and "naked" as possible... It almost sounds live on the Erotica album. Anyway, gonna be seeing the show in two weeks and will be happy to report how prerecorded/live it's gonna be. Been her fan since 84, this is gonna be my 7th tour and 12th show, but nevertheless have never lied to myself about what was live, what was heavily supported by prerecorded vocals and what was flat out lip-synced. Still, when you get what she brings forth singing live in terms of emotion - whether it's sadness or love or joy - no one comes close. And let's not forget the dancing... Also, glad you noticed how relaxed she was during the final third of the song! Madonna's perfectionism is of biblical proportions and often you will notice a moment in her live performances when she gets through the most difficult part and then - if she's happy with herself - she lets it all out and simply enjoys it. Thank you fort all your educational, inspiring and fun videos!
