Madonna - Live to Tell [Turin 1987, Dutch TV] HQ

[@jjh2456]

If you ask me, this was the track that made her go from Madonna to MADONNA. It was vastly different than anything she had ever done to that point and it was her first “reinvention.” This was when you knew she was going to be around for a long time.

[@dheniriveli4629]

truth

[@brandonmounce5840]

I agree 100% she has always had the conviction to stay true to herself & never sugar coated shit!!!!! She IMO laid the “template” to female superstardom!!! She broke that STIGMA OF THE 50’s woman & broke barriers & stood her ground never deviated from her own beliefs & stayed true to herself!!! Unbelievable voice!!! LIVE SHOWS INSANE!!! She runs a tight ship on that stage & that’s why she’s the ALL TIME SELLING FEMALE ARTIST!!! She evolved every 3-6 years & added a layer of self-enlightenment & provocative mystique that ONLY MADONNA CAN PUll off, voice is instantly recognizable & she still can bend/dance & hit those notes like she did 25-30 years ago!!!! Longevity & never being afraid to push envelope has made her the first face on the “FEMALE ARTISTS MT RUSHMORE” IM A ROCK/METAL GUY BUT THIS SONG HAS ALWAYS STUCK WITH ME & it just grew on me, but I RESPECT ANY ARTIST MAN OR WOMAN NO MATTER WHAT GENRE OF MUSIC THEY PRETAIN TOO, ILL ALWAYS GIVE LOVE & RESPECT TO ANYONE WHO STAYED HIMBLE TO THE ROOTS THAT GOT THEM THERE & stuck to their laurels!!! She don’t mince words & could care less what you think of her or her point of view on whatever subject matter it is at that very time!!! I F____NG LOVE ANYONE THAT NO MATTER HOW MANY COMMAS THEY HAVE IN BANK ACCOUNT OR FOLLOWERS THEY HAVE IN WHATEVER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM THEY OREFER, she hasn’t changed her STYLE or tried to cater to someone else’s vision of what “Madonna” should be, MADONNA DOES MADONNA, always has & could give ZERO F___’S if you like it or don’t, she’s still the “OG QUEEN” of pop music & 30+ years she’s still MADONNA!!! Nothing but love & respect for someone that has stayed true to herself for well over 3 decades!!!!

Crazy For You was the song that turned the tide for Madonna. But you are correct... many people. forget that some of her biggest hits were these ballads. She's criminally underrated.

This is the song that got me hooked. As a young gay boy, this really spoke to me. Tears as I type this. Forever Madonna and Thank You @madonna

[@wallypagayanan4555]

Sounds gay to me😂😂😂

[@ExperienceEric]

What the heck has being gay got to do with it? The song had a massive impact on me as well and I am about as straight as one can get. And don't start telling me how hard it was for you being gay, its was incredibly hard for me growing up as well. It is for a ton of people out there ehther they are gay, straight or whatever they are. Just being yourself is hard when you are young.

[@Gfttre_rred]

You go lad.....stand strong!

[@anaferraz3459]

What I love about this performance, although all the vocal issues, is how she delivered herself. It's very emotional. And, of course, she is absolutely beautiful. We cannot stop looking at her. She is a singer and an actress. So artistic.

[@bigdaddydon1100]

We all know she was a full package .

[@Delifine]

I can tell she is exhausted. People say "she's no Celine Dion" but I have never seen Celine dancing professionally throughout the concert . Mariah Carey lip synced on a World Tour when she had to do some light dancing. Even when you don't dance your breathing may be affected and your body generally tired and unable to support the voice properly if you have danced before singing. Plus they didn't use ear phones live on stage back then. Madonna can sing, there was no autotune when she started her career, so her recordings speak for themselves, and if she gets nervous when singing on stage or her body and voice are tired that's another story. Enya, for example, didn't sing live much, because she got nervous so she mostly lip synced. Same with a blonde singer from Ace of Base.

[@danielelacroix5320]

My favorite since I heard it 33 years ago. I was 13 and this song already gave me shivers even if I didn’t understand a word…it was her first world tour, she was a young singer. Her voice was raw yes but she used her emotions to sing live without anything else. Love it.

[@injintu]

This version of Madonna is my favorite of all time. This is a really difficult song to sing, and she didn't even want to do this originally for the movie. She's not a great singer, but she was more than just a pop singer. She was an artist, someone who lived in a beautiful time pushing boundaries. Her look here, her presentation in general, specially that hair. I was only 10 years old, but I was in love. I still am, and this live version deserves to be saved in the national archives. What a great team behind her and what a smart vision she had for her artform. By the time Like a Prayer (the album) dropped, they had mastered the formula and Like a Prayer exploded into eternity. "Live to Tell" is breath-taking, and along with "like a prayer (the song)," I was so in love! How I remember you, Late 1980s. Nothing felt the same in the 90's or ever after that when it came to her music, but I will always love you.

[@dansumagit2596]

She sounds good in live. Still to this day, my favorite song to listen.

[@sstrick500]

Perfect version for this song. Its a sad and lonely song, and her apparent tiredness/worn-down-ness just gives it that sad and desperate sound.

[@thiuefs]

Apart from all the paradoxes, Madonna was, not today, an extraordinary artist ... beautiful vocal, performance and so beautiful ... this song is splendid, with progressive footprints, intimate, dark romanticism, a beauty that the current generation does not dreams of knowing and lives with crumbs like Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and etc ...

[@mimosa27]

Wholeheartedly agree with this entire comment.

[@TheDonellMorgan]

Exactly 💯 She wrote the lyrics for it & didn't expect to sing! The composer has said it WAS done in one take. And she even told him it wasn't in her voice register. He insisted...Very raw emotion. She did it!!

[@gregoryphillips3969]

As someone wrote in the comments that there may have been vocal issues l see it differently. Madonna is and always has been a very brave performer who is not going to allow self consciousness to stop her from delivering the goods. She knows that she's not the greatest singer ever but her steadfast belief in herself along with the emotion that she is projecting here more than fills the bill. I don't think that Madonna is a bad singer at all and the fact that she wrote this masterpiece elevates her all the more.
