This performance doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. Madonna has been in the business so long, you forget what incredible, raw talent she had in the 80’s.
Yes she killed it here. Global debut at the most famous concert in what would become history. The DNA of the legendary performer who helped changed the world is right here. Awesome. Really incredible
@@Pierre_David_Colbert_Chabanais Cindy Lauper was just as big as Madonna in the 80s. Her song "Girls Just want to have fun" has over a billion views on RUclips. "Time After Time" has half a billion views. Not bad for songs released in the 80s. But Madonna managed to stay relevant all through the 90s where as Cindy Lauper fell off once the 80s were over.
What is impressive about Madonna at her peak was that her live performances were not just singing but dancing as well. She must have been in great shape physically , kudos to her.
Say what you want but no one can take away the fact that she sung live, on pitch in total breath control and full of life and energy. She looked beautiful and rocked the stage while taking no prisoners! We see why she's the icon she is to this day!
“Bring her back” wow the world really loved Madonna back in the 80s. It’s a shame that the new generation doesn’t appreciate all that Madonna has done. True icon and legend
I was there. Not too far from the stage, at the tender age of 17. I wasn’t a Madonna fan back then, but she did a great job. I get a kick out of spotting myself in that massive crowd of around 90,000. It was hot as hell that day, and later, they turned the fire hoses on us and it was fantastic. What an awesome day, certainly the defining concert of my life.
The 80's....The era of real live performances from both singers and musicians with a crowd enjoying every second of it with no technology disturbances ❤️🙏
Yeah, bit of a rose tinted view of the 80s there. That said the Boomers still criticised the advent of the synth, they didn’t regard it as a real musical instrument. That’s why I bite my lip when I see some guy on stage with a laptop. Time and tide wait for no man…
I still never understand what is the point of going to a concert and only seeing people holding up phones - why pay all that money when you cannot see over a sea of phones. Why I like going to some of Prince's last concerts where you had to check your mobiles and made for a great concert to be fully enjoyed.
@@chrisi123 She will never be just a nobody! Your just a young kid, I can tell.These bitches today,like Lady Gaga have got nothing to be proud of other than that of a status symbol who sold her soul to (as they like to call him Lucifer.) Because that spun shock value chick has no musical voice,does she? I have not heard any of her songs,but as far as "the queen of pop" She will always be. She has not made one bad song!
The summer of 1984 almost every teenage girl in Los Angeles looked like Madonna which is still something I never saw duplicated that being her IMPACT on everything at that time.
My family took a vacation to L.A. for a week in the summer of 1985 --- we went to Disneyland and I swear to God --- EVERY white teenage girl there was dressed like Madonna! I even saw a few of them having impromptu dance contests. It kinda blew my mind because I never saw a music star have that kind of influence over an entire generation before.
Pure talent . She co-wrote the song . She sang live . She choreographed her dance routines . She has always been exciting and entertaining to watch . She commands the audience attention whether it’s intentional or not. She has longevity because people can relate and people are always fascinating by her . And she did all of these before social media .
WOW!! Like her or hate her, her ability to sing on pitch without missing a breath whilst doing cardio like that is TRULY IMPRESSIVE! A true legendary performer unmatched today!
The clothing she's wearing was called the "Amadeus look", after the 1984 movie "Amadeus". Lots of shiny brocades, lace, and glittery broaches. My best friend worked in a clothing store at the time and they stocked a whole line of that kind of look.
I remember when this was on television. This was massive. She was skyrocketed bigger and bigger each year. Just when you’d think she was bigger than anyone else she would get even bigger. That had never happened to that degree with a female entertainer before. Not to this degree.
Her voice and dancing are magnificent!! I think she puts all her energy towards this performance to prove that she can sing...after she was snubbed to be part of We Are the World. I always admire people who uses their experience of rejection and heartaches to make something beautiful for themselves, and Madonna is one of them
They didn't admit her because Maddona couldn't follow a simple rule and that was to leave the ego at the door, outside the room. Quincy Jones wasn't about to deal with an artist full of herself and unable to refine her voice, he already had many like that on his plate. There was no space for Maddona in a project like this. It wasn´t their fault. Madonna could sing, but she needed singing lessons and she didn't do that until she did Evita, 10 years later.
@@Threeleebirdy Madonna después se encargaría de sacarlos de las listas #1 con Crazy for You, una demostración increíble que no necesitaba de ellos. El Live Aid es mucho más importante que el We Are The World, en el Live Aid invitaban a todos los mejores artistas del momento, y no solo a los amiguitos de cierto engreído... Hubieron muchos mejores cantantes en los 80's que los que estaban en We Are The World, eso de que Madonna no entraba por su ego y su voz es una mentira absoluta...
Brings tears to the eyes when thinking of the time that has passed since this song was first released. Reminiscing on all those moments that we wish we could have captured for that moment longer and whilst we live in that past, the present passes until it becomes the memory we long for.....In the end, as we get older, its the precious moments that have passed that are truly priceless experiences of life...With no regrets but tearful memories....
Her cardio here is unmatched. Those dance movements are definitely like sprinting for 5 mins x singing the long winded phrasings compounded by the natural anxiety of performing. Totally on another level.
@kotur28 why's that odd 😂😂. Besides I am 21 and huge madonna fan. This comment was suggested by my mom while she was explaining how popular madonna actually was.......
@kotur28 well , i mean , i'm pretty sure the original comment user wasn't sitting next to their mom while writing the comment. their original must be a metaphor of some sort , but not literal.
There’s a sadness watching this today. I was 10 years old in Philadelphia and remember this day vividly. There’s an innocence in this. A different time in our world. All these people. No threat of terrorism and the simplicity of our lives were compared to now.
Don’t romanticize the past. People make this mistake all the time. There were threats of terrorism back then. Plus, even in the 1980s it was a harsher time for minorities and women than today.
@@williebori Ghetto gang bangers weren't glorified, young people still had some positive role models, sorry David, but the world was a much better place.
I wouldn't say she was a diamond in the rough stage, she was actually pretty good and way better than the past 20+ years. Mid 80s, late 80s Madonna was amazing.
@@hotbrakepads "Don’t get me wrong she is talented, but hands down best performer goes to Prince and I’m not even a huge Prince fan." --- Fixed it for you ..
there are soooo many better than her...most of which she stole from and took all the credit for. oh yeah and all the BJs she gave to get to the top. don't forget those 🤣
Super clean audience. No flashes no cameras. Just feel good watching. I wonder nobody ever forsees this star will stay and slay for another 30 years and more
You know what’s crazy? I was in that audience and it’s one of the few concerts I DIDN’T sneak a camera into in the ‘80s and ‘90s. I wish to hell I did. It was the best concert of my life and I never saw one person with a camera in the crowd. Thank god for RUclips.
Seriously, not too many in the audience would have had access to some decent camere, and if you did, that'd not be the place to carry dad's treasure to! Also as fainting hence becoming a crowd surfer is very likeley, you might just drop it too.
@Ros ros something being deemed "the SHIT" is an African American colloquialism for something being The best... i.e. The important part of it is without THE, an entirely different meaning applies. My teacher is shit= bad teacher. My teacher is THE shit = greatest teacher...SO.. I SAID WHAT I MEANT.
Yeah they were the shit back then and now everything sucks now b/c music TV movies have gone downhill. At least Madonna used real music here and none of that digital music we hear today and she can really move and have fun at the same time. Madonna will always be the queen of pop! Nobody can ever come close to her.
My favourite memory of Madonna to this day. Her uniqueness at this point in time was her cool choreography and style (remember all the girls dressing up like her hehe), and singing without losing her breath.
daniel silva I‘ve watched the video of the Sticky and Sweet tour concert in Buenos Aires several times. There her performance is terrific from beginning to end.
Wow!! She really does have talent!! She was moving around and dancing so much whilst still being able to sign! She’s got some impressive breath control!!
I have never been a Madonna fan, but this is incredible. What an underrated performance at Live Aid. A phenomenal and amazing talent. She said she wanted to rule the world. She definitely ruled the female artist music world in the 80s.
I was 11 years old when I saw this on television and I didn't know why but I could tell this lady was in the process of saving my life. Thank you, Madonna.
What do you guys mean when you say things like...”she saved my life”? Sounds a bit cringing and weird. What are we doing, worshipping human beings now?!
I wasn't even born yet, but the 80s seemed like peak America and music. People could sing without autotune and play actual musical instruments in bands
Funny how she was always criticized by not being able to sing well. Now in 2018 not many female popstars can slay a dance song without even dancing. Here Madonna is fully moving all over that stage and singing live and close to the album version. Goes to show how unfairly treated she was, to be honest.
Singing live, hitting her notes, banging the tamborine,....look, she is not a great pure singer, but she sang her stuff well, and entertained better than any of today's artists.
Tiago Rodrigues it takes a lot of training to sing well and move. During this time she was just starting out. Singers like Beyoncé and lady Gaga had Rough time at the beginning as well
Madonna is like the eighth wonder of the world. She is an example of a fully realized human being. She incarnated with a mission and fulfilled it to the nth degree! The rest of us are lucky to have incarnated at the same time she did. Sigh.... Shine on Diva shine on! #leo
In these early years one can see how much energy and emotion she put into her songs.. She threw every bit of herself into performances, a certain bit of craziness and sassy edge which seems to have calmed and been subdued over the years.. Still think she's great though!
Love to see her like this, free, raw talent, no tech enhancements, just her music and her in her element! She’s created some great music over the years! Fabulous.
Great song & performance but I'm even more impressed with how she threw the tambourine high in the air several times & caught it without missing it or a beat!
40 years ago. Video back then was good enough to let you imagine that you are seeing the young Madonna live. Her personality was so different back then before she became so huge.
Music and stage shows was at a crossroads in this era. Almost all the other performers at Live Aid were traditional stage performers who sang, maybe strutted around the stage a bit, and focused mainly on the music (MJ, Prince and Tina being notable exceptions). Madonna combined music with dance performance in her stage presentations that most pop acts are now expected to follow. At the same time, this was only the beginning for Madonna... in later tours like Blond Ambition, she added a theatrical/narrative storytelling arc to her shows as well that shifted the expectations for tours yet again. This at the time felt so daring and innovative... amazing that she was singing live while dancing so energetically... little did we know this was only the beginning. It feels almost quaint and innocent now. ;)
People talked about her being a studio singer and couldn't sing live but she's singing and dancing!! Nowadays or the last 30 years most can't do both and some truly can't sing live!! Madonna is something truly special!!
@@pedromotta5418 Gaga is very talented, I'll give you that, but I don't think she is doing anything exciting currently. Madonna managed to reinvent and push herself artistically in a much better way. They're incomparable in that sense.
3:23 perfect energy and perfect timing for a real LIVE performance. She was musically talented in many aspects such as dancing, singing and playing the tambourine in synchronicity.
She brings both that Cher chesti-ness to her singing as well as a bit of a girl-ish squeal whenever she wants it. And all while jumping around like banshee and staying in tune. Mad respect.
Ewww , Cher? are you crazy ?cher has always been envious of M because M is talented . Cher can be seen on social media dissing M and M had never said anything unflattering about her cus M has confidence , talent and class And Cher had never written a song in her entire career. M however had written dozens of number one songs worldwide
The most successful female artist ever! The best selling female recording artist of all time! The top touring solo artist in music history!! The one, the only, The Queen of Pop!! Her Madgesty!! No one can top her, no one.
@@Matuteilcapo sad but true although let's be honest. are her shows since the late 2000s have been any good? even as she tries to play guitar and such? what is the last song of hers that was any good that you can remember?
@@thevoid99 if you like her latest songs or not depends on your own opinion... Certainly nobody cares your opinion... Her latest tour was praised by crítics and public in general, it was a sold out tour and that's a fact, not an opinion... ;)
@@AlexanderNovak0 if you think she can't sing it's your problem, your opinion is irrelevant. I think she's a great singer, she doesn't have to demonstrate anything to anybody!! She has been praised for her talent so many times... You and your opinion are irrelevant. She's still the best selling female recording artist of all time, and it seems that nobody is gonna surpass her anytime soon ;)
God, how she commanded the stage back then. I love that this is back when she still understood that her unmatched charisma, energy and skills were all she needed, along with a couple of male dancers/backup singers, to put on a stunning show. As time went on it seems she got ever more into gilding what needed no shine, adding legions of dancers and incredibly intricate stage design with each tour. The more complicated it all got, the less I enjoyed her performances. However, I was a fan for at least 25 years and will always remember her for providing the soundtrack to my early and mid-adulthood years. Bravo, Madonna. Thanks for outstanding music and thrills.
@@Sassyglbeauty lol. Actually I cut her some slack on the accent because she had married the British director Guy Ritchie and was spending most of her time in England. I'm the same way; I start picking up the accent of the people I hang around with. I went to the University of Oklahoma for two years and had myself a bit of a twang by the end of the first year. haha. Didn't help that both of my best friends there were from Texas. :D I hung on with Madonna until around 2000. After that it was hit or miss, depending on the particular song or album. I liked several songs off MDNA that were quite good, but none of them were the ones she released as singles. At this point it just makes me sad at what she's allowed herself to become. I look at her Instagram once in a while and I'm embarrassed for her. I thought she'd figure out how to age gracefully. I was wrong.
I was never into pop much back then, but that woman was not only a soulful singer, but a fantastic dancer..let alone a songwriter! Now, like Madonna Im older too, but realizing through RUclips videos how Madonna was a massive talent, regardless whether or not I liked pop music back then! She was pure energy and took great care of herself. What an amazing woman!
And this, boys and girls, is why we fell in love with Madonna...this was her first live performance and it happened to in front of the largest global audience ever assembled (at the time). Such a great time
@@ttlover7490 I'm sure the person meant "live performance" on TV...I still remember when Madonna said the word "shit" in reference to her Playboy and Penthouse magazine nude spreads. I was over my mother's house (she had cable TV with MTV) and my mother gasped when she heard that. That was the first time I ever heard someone curse on TV.
As a musician and vocalist myself her ability to maintain good diaphragm posture along with this choreography is pretty damn insane;) She made everyone feel this whether they were listening or not, and those complaining about her not hitting the high notes, it's a very wise choice as it takes strain off of your throat to help it relax and get a bigger reputake of oxygen. Stop hating it's all love;);) Stay beautiful M!!!
Even from the beginning of her career, Madonna had such a magnetic stage presence. She completely owned that stage and enthralled 100,000 people in sweltering heat. The Queen of Pop indeed.
East Berlin? That had to have been an interesting time to be living over there at the time. America put out two movies in the 80s with Berlin as the setting called Target and Gotcha! Somehow, I think it was a bit exaggerated. But, it worked as scare propaganda to me being a young kid when they first came out.
I would say the 1990s was the last great decade. Both the 90s and the 80s were phenomenal. Actually, despite some problems, most o the 20th century was pretty phenomenal. The 2000s was when it all went downhill.
OMG, she's giving it all. I love this performance. Every now and then I go back to watch old Madonna performances to remember myself why I fell in love with her talent at 14yrs old. I'm 36 now and I love her even more. She's so underrated these days. All these pop girls that are coming around, should thank her. She opened up the road to all women in pop from the 80s to this day.
This is natural talent and a big ego. Madonna believed in herself, she knew she was good. She owned the stage and commanded respect. You have to admire this young girl here's self esteem. She was gutsy and had hidden balls.
Madonna was just becoming famous then and as a 13-year-old at the time, I was in awe!! Live Aid was so amazingly huge. It's hard to convey to kids today how fantastic it was just to see such a live concert and the fact there was Wembley and Philadelphia going one at the same time - this concert was shown live on telly basically all day! Beats the Test Card!
I was only born in 2003 so no I obviously never will know how big it was. But I think a story I did hear is that all the official tapes from live aid were found at the back of the BBC archives. I think Geldoff wanted the tapes burned or destroyed so no extra money could be made from them. But for whatever reason the BBC didn't and as I said they suddenly turned up at the back of a cupboard. I think the list is incomplete though because I think MTV followed through on the promise. For instance I think there's 1 or 2 Ultravox songs missing. Hopefully you found this mildly interesting
To be fair, she was huge at this time, hence getting the gig. Granted though, she wasn't 'accepted' by the music press and was very much against the industry of male dominance. But yes, it was an amazing day and we watched it in our classroom haha!

I remember when this was on television. This was massive. She was skyrocketed bigger and bigger each year. Just when you’d think she was bigger than anyone else she would get even bigger. That had never happened to that degree with a female entertainer before. Not to this degree.
Then Erotica happened. I love the record but it's a shame people ignored her after its release.
Phoenix Force uh no they didn’t.
michael jackson : bitch please
@@OthmaneMsa He said female entertainer. lol
Lady Gaga is bigger than Madonna.
Her voice and dancing are magnificent!! I think she puts all her energy towards this performance to prove that she can sing...after she was snubbed to be part of We Are the World. I always admire people who uses their experience of rejection and heartaches to make something beautiful for themselves, and Madonna is one of them
Recién me doy cuenta que no la tomaron en cuenta para esa canción 😮😮😮
They didn't admit her because Maddona couldn't follow a simple rule and that was to leave the ego at the door, outside the room. Quincy Jones wasn't about to deal with an artist full of herself and unable to refine her voice, he already had many like that on his plate. There was no space for Maddona in a project like this. It wasn´t their fault.
Madonna could sing, but she needed singing lessons and she didn't do that until she did Evita, 10 years later.
@@Threeleebirdy Madonna después se encargaría de sacarlos de las listas #1 con Crazy for You, una demostración increíble que no necesitaba de ellos.
El Live Aid es mucho más importante que el We Are The World, en el Live Aid invitaban a todos los mejores artistas del momento, y no solo a los amiguitos de cierto engreído...
Hubieron muchos mejores cantantes en los 80's que los que estaban en We Are The World, eso de que Madonna no entraba por su ego y su voz es una mentira absoluta...
the year after she released the album True Blue and she became an icon of pop that year ( 1986)
Her record company didn´t want her to do We Are the World, as it would compete with here solo singles.
Madonna has a magnetic presence on stage. I promised myself I was just going to watch a sneak peek. And here I am... watched the full video.
SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🔥
Eduardo Marchioro Me, too. Still works on me like it did when I was 17 and watching it on TV.
I did too! I miss her in these times. I was 15 when I saw this and then I saw her live in her Blond Ambition tour in 1990 😍
Eduardo Marchioro me too!!!
People are not even dancing... Which part is magnetic.... R u blind? This is the same time the Queen perform and Freddy moved every audience!!!!
Brings tears to the eyes when thinking of the time that has passed since this song was first released. Reminiscing on all those moments that we wish we could have captured for that moment longer and whilst we live in that past, the present passes until it becomes the memory we long for.....In the end, as we get older, its the precious moments that have passed that are truly priceless experiences of life...With no regrets but tearful memories....
where are u from?
Yep the good ole times have passed us by. There are rarely any memories I make today that are worth anything. Oh well such is life. Comes and goes.

63 here, Madonna is smoking hot! Although she's a liberal Democratic bozo, LOL!
Me too! 67 right now.
Me to. 67
Her cardio here is unmatched. Those dance movements are definitely like sprinting for 5 mins x singing the long winded phrasings compounded by the natural anxiety of performing. Totally on another level.
I love everything about her here. Her singing, her outfit, her hair, her jewelry, her dancing, her energy. Iconic!!!!🤩
Perfect pop star. Pretty to see and hear.
My mom was actually there, she’s so insanely lucky.
Fucc I envy your mom so much
Woooow i was born in 1998 in Mexico, hahaha your mom is sooooo lucky.
That's Awesome! I watched from home!
So great! I watched in on tv that Saturday. Turned on in time for Queen.
Amazing!! 💗💕
I didn’t realize it at the time but she was a really powerful performer.
Yes indeed!
She was on tour that year. So she was well used to performing and singing this one live.

She gets up there, nails it and dances all along the way. Amazing.

There’s a sadness watching this today. I was 10 years old in Philadelphia and remember this day vividly. There’s an innocence in this. A different time in our world. All these people. No threat of terrorism and the simplicity of our lives were compared to now.
It is sad...I miss those days. 😥☹️
Don’t romanticize the past. People make this mistake all the time. There were threats of terrorism back then. Plus, even in the 1980s it was a harsher time for minorities and women than today.
I was 10 years old too ....good times
Anch'io 10 anni ..grande Madonna ,,,love you
@@williebori Ghetto gang bangers weren't glorified, young people still had some positive role models, sorry David, but the world was a much better place.
I love how scrappy she is here. Among all those rock gods, she sang and danced her heart out. Her diamond in the rough stage.
a rough cut Diamond
Imo she was already a legend. Fucking amazing ground breaking Madonna.
She soaking in it. She had it in spades. Top notch artist.
I wouldn't say she was a diamond in the rough stage, she was actually pretty good and way better than the past 20+ years. Mid 80s, late 80s Madonna was amazing.
She actually seemed quite pleasant & relatable here, which is something that I'm not accustomed to seeing...
I am 20 years old, and I found this today; I've lost count of how many times I've visited. Madonna I'm hypnotized 💘

Madonna was always underrated. She was a great live-performer. She inspired me and countless girls born in the 70's. Love her forever!!
Why do you think she was underradet?
She was known everywhere and a Idol for many people. I don't think that she was underradet.
@@c.h.8227 Right, but I meant she was underrated in terms of a live-performer and gemuine musician

Ah, okay👍
Underrated by whom?
And now she's overrated. Sad
Young madonna would have used me. Shes the original pop star.
Pure ENERGY... There is nobody in this world like this girl
Lady Gaga!
Britney Spears
Never, she Cant walk and sing in same time. Shes a horrible performance
Janet jackson didnt sing live…
there are soooo many better than her...most of which she stole from and took all the credit for.
oh yeah and all the BJs she gave to get to the top. don't forget those 🤣
Super clean audience. No flashes no cameras. Just feel good watching. I wonder nobody ever forsees this star will stay and slay for another 30 years and more
Yeah and Duran Duran, too!
You know what’s crazy? I was in that audience and it’s one of the few concerts I DIDN’T sneak a camera into in the ‘80s and ‘90s. I wish to hell I did. It was the best concert of my life and I never saw one person with a camera in the crowd. Thank god for RUclips.
Seriously, not too many in the audience would have had access to some decent camere, and if you did, that'd not be the place to carry dad's treasure to! Also as fainting hence becoming a crowd surfer is very likeley, you might just drop it too.
now THAT"S how you work a stage!!!!! The 80's was the shit..and so IS MADONNA!!!!! I watched the WHOLE broadcast LIVE!!!
@Ros ros something being deemed "the SHIT" is an African American colloquialism for something being The best... i.e. The important part of it is without THE, an entirely different meaning applies. My teacher is shit= bad teacher. My teacher is THE shit = greatest teacher...SO.. I SAID WHAT I MEANT.
Yeah they were the shit back then and now everything sucks now b/c music TV movies have gone downhill. At least Madonna used real music here and none of that digital music we hear today and she can really move and have fun at the same time. Madonna will always be the queen of pop! Nobody can ever come close to her.
Oh my days, still appreciating this lady in 2024. There has ever been anyone like her since ❤❤❤
She was special then, as now.
I always loved her deeper voice! Its beautiful
As a performer I know how hard it is to dance full out and sing in key! So kudos to Madonna! I love this song 🎶 🙌🏽💃🏽
God, she has so much charisma, what a performer!
Noone is like her.
My favourite memory of Madonna to this day. Her uniqueness at this point in time was her cool choreography and style (remember all the girls dressing up like her hehe), and singing without losing her breath.
She had it all,The look.The moves.The voice.The Charm!!!
and The Smile.
She could dance! Amazing performance. I listened to the live broadcast in 85. I was 19.
Actually her dancing skills improved, check her latest tours, the woman is still a machine.
daniel silva I‘ve watched the video of the Sticky and Sweet tour concert in Buenos Aires several times. There her performance is terrific from beginning to end.
Me too...as a 10 year old
I was born in 2006 but madonna is my queen in obsessed with her
Me too, saw it on t.v. and was very impressed!
Wow!! She really does have talent!! She was moving around and dancing so much whilst still being able to sign! She’s got some impressive breath control!!
Comes with great lungs.
She didn't sign anything though.
It’s called cocaine amigo
@@godrioo5042 🙄
I have never been a Madonna fan, but this is incredible. What an underrated performance at Live Aid. A phenomenal and amazing talent. She said she wanted to rule the world. She definitely ruled the female artist music world in the 80s.
I was 11 years old when I saw this on television and I didn't know why but I could tell this lady was in the process of saving my life. Thank you, Madonna.
What do you guys mean when you say things like...”she saved my life”? Sounds a bit cringing and weird. What are we doing, worshipping human beings now?!
@@EightiesMusiqLover you must be a heterosexual.
Because she inspired you with her artistry, melody, choreography and joi de vivre.
Frank stfu
@@EightiesMusiqLover Exactly!
I wasn't even born yet, but the 80s seemed like peak America and music. People could sing without autotune and play actual musical instruments in bands
That's correct.
It was so amazing, my childhood had the best soundtrack =)
Funny how she was always criticized by not being able to sing well. Now in 2018 not many female popstars can slay a dance song without even dancing. Here Madonna is fully moving all over that stage and singing live and close to the album version. Goes to show how unfairly treated she was, to be honest.
Singing live, hitting her notes, banging the tamborine,....look, she is not a great pure singer, but she sang her stuff well, and entertained better than any of today's artists.
Just an amazing entertainer. Oh their was so much more to come😉
Tiago Rodrigues it takes a lot of training to sing well and move. During this time she was just starting out. Singers like Beyoncé and lady Gaga had Rough time at the beginning as well
Sorry there are plenty of times here shes so off key, out of tune, she isn’t dancing. Nowadays? She uses so much backing tracks who are you kidding?
Standards were way higher then to be fair. She was and always will be predominately known as a great performer not a top vocalist
Madonna is like the eighth wonder of the world. She is an example of a fully realized human being. She incarnated with a mission and fulfilled it to the nth degree! The rest of us are lucky to have incarnated at the same time she did. Sigh.... Shine on Diva shine on! #leo
Amazing ........ she put her all in this song.
In these early years one can see how much energy and emotion she put into her songs.. She threw every bit of herself into performances, a certain bit of craziness and sassy edge which seems to have calmed and been subdued over the years.. Still think she's great though!
Love to see her like this, free, raw talent, no tech enhancements, just her music and her in her element! She’s created some great music over the years! Fabulous.
Great song & performance but I'm even more impressed with how she threw the tambourine high in the air several times & caught it without missing it or a beat!
Oh my god!!!! I’m transported back to my 14 yr old self watching this!!! I’m 51 and still a fan great time to be alive 🎉
Me too, and I'm 64yrs. old. Lol
You lived in good times
3:27 the spin move mic grab is 🔥
I forgot how AMAZING she was!! The one and only MADONNA!! ahhh the 80s!!!
There will NEVER be another Madonna!! Thank you for saving us all!
She s queen of pop
Just like how no band could replace Queen, just like how no person could replace Freddie Mercury.
Madonna Dale GaGa has replaced her and has saved us all from listening to Madonna....
Lucky GaGa wasn’t around back then, Madonna wouldn’t have existed.
Thanks god, because bone Madonna is so boring, imagine another.
40 years ago. Video back then was good enough to let you imagine that you are seeing the young Madonna live. Her personality was so different back then before she became so huge.
Man, if I had a time machine, I'd go back to 1985 and see this in person!
This video is a time machine!!

@@atmakali9599 Who cares what you think?

Prestation parfaite !!!!!
there‘s no one like madonna…
Yeah, no problem, she was just fucking going out of tune
Solo madona❤
For real-- not easy when you're completely out of breath!
Music and stage shows was at a crossroads in this era. Almost all the other performers at Live Aid were traditional stage performers who sang, maybe strutted around the stage a bit, and focused mainly on the music (MJ, Prince and Tina being notable exceptions). Madonna combined music with dance performance in her stage presentations that most pop acts are now expected to follow. At the same time, this was only the beginning for Madonna... in later tours like Blond Ambition, she added a theatrical/narrative storytelling arc to her shows as well that shifted the expectations for tours yet again. This at the time felt so daring and innovative... amazing that she was singing live while dancing so energetically... little did we know this was only the beginning. It feels almost quaint and innocent now. ;)
No auto tune pure talent
Indeed :)
My stupid brain read it as "no talent pure auto tune" and I was about to go ballistic on you :-P
@@kz1000ps lol 🤣😂
She doesn’t compare to Beyoncé vocally, but in my opinion Madonna’s music is better
Rubino Pride she doesn’t sound like the album. She’s not hitting those notes.
I remember this, it was an amazing performance. Sums everything that was good about the 80s.
The peoples liked this show ?
How good is she here? What a performer.
I like how I can hear her breathing hard while singing this song. She is really working hard and on key!!! Madonna is an awesome entertainer.
I like this version Madonna. Sincere in the performing. Unique voice.
The Mother and Queen of Pop....
DAMN RIGHT!
And now grandmother
And now legend !!!!
And now God😊🍀
FACTS
People talked about her being a studio singer and couldn't sing live but she's singing and dancing!! Nowadays or the last 30 years most can't do both and some truly can't sing live!! Madonna is something truly special!!
OMG the bomb, who can sing and dance like that today...ummm NO ONE, she is an icon!!!!!

@@pedromotta5418 Gaga is very talented, I'll give you that, but I don't think she is doing anything exciting currently. Madonna managed to reinvent and push herself artistically in a much better way. They're incomparable in that sense.
3:23 perfect energy and perfect timing for a real LIVE performance. She was musically talented in many aspects such as dancing, singing and playing the tambourine in synchronicity.
My favorite Madonna song. So mid 80’s and so cool and catchy
Music in the 80s hit different. These were real stars with real talent.
shes so fantastic, her confidence and enjoyment is evident, true star not like the crap thats around today
She brings both that Cher chesti-ness to her singing as well as a bit of a girl-ish squeal whenever she wants it. And all while jumping around like banshee and staying in tune. Mad respect.
Who's Cher??
She’s a singer. When she sings the line ‘I wanna dance with someone else’, that deep tone is like how Cher sings.
Ewww , Cher? are you crazy ?cher has always been envious of M because M is talented . Cher can be seen on social media dissing M and M had never said anything unflattering about her cus M has confidence , talent and class
And Cher had never written a song in her entire career. M however had written dozens of number one songs worldwide
Throaty , chesty, she was pulling from different places here.
The most successful female artist ever! The best selling female recording artist of all time! The top touring solo artist in music history!! The one, the only, The Queen of Pop!! Her Madgesty!! No one can top her, no one.

Loved the 80s and early 90’s Madonna. So much youthful energy.
God, how she commanded the stage back then. I love that this is back when she still understood that her unmatched charisma, energy and skills were all she needed, along with a couple of male dancers/backup singers, to put on a stunning show. As time went on it seems she got ever more into gilding what needed no shine, adding legions of dancers and incredibly intricate stage design with each tour. The more complicated it all got, the less I enjoyed her performances. However, I was a fan for at least 25 years and will always remember her for providing the soundtrack to my early and mid-adulthood years.
Bravo, Madonna. Thanks for outstanding music and thrills.
80s Early 90s Madonna is my favorite Madonna era. Around the time she changed her accent to a British one is around the time I stopped loving her.
@@Sassyglbeauty lol. Actually I cut her some slack on the accent because she had married the British director Guy Ritchie and was spending most of her time in England. I'm the same way; I start picking up the accent of the people I hang around with. I went to the University of Oklahoma for two years and had myself a bit of a twang by the end of the first year. haha. Didn't help that both of my best friends there were from Texas. :D
I hung on with Madonna until around 2000. After that it was hit or miss, depending on the particular song or album. I liked several songs off MDNA that were quite good, but none of them were the ones she released as singles. At this point it just makes me sad at what she's allowed herself to become. I look at her Instagram once in a while and I'm embarrassed for her. I thought she'd figure out how to age gracefully. I was wrong.
I was never into pop much back then, but that woman was not only a soulful singer, but a fantastic dancer..let alone a songwriter! Now, like Madonna Im older too, but realizing through RUclips videos how Madonna was a massive talent, regardless whether or not I liked pop music back then! She was pure energy and took great care of herself. What an amazing woman!
And this, boys and girls, is why we fell in love with Madonna...this was her first live performance and it happened to in front of the largest global audience ever assembled (at the time). Such a great time
Was this really her first live performance?
@@ttlover7490 Fuck no!
no, this was the last show in the virgin tour
@@ttlover7490
I'm sure the person meant "live performance" on TV...I still remember when Madonna said the word "shit" in reference to her Playboy and Penthouse magazine nude spreads. I was over my mother's house (she had cable TV with MTV) and my mother gasped when she heard that. That was the first time I ever heard someone curse on TV.
As a musician and vocalist myself her ability to maintain good diaphragm posture along with this choreography is pretty damn insane;) She made everyone feel this whether they were listening or not, and those complaining about her not hitting the high notes, it's a very wise choice as it takes strain off of your throat to help it relax and get a bigger reputake of oxygen. Stop hating it's all love;);) Stay beautiful M!!!
Even from the beginning of her career, Madonna had such a magnetic stage presence. She completely owned that stage and enthralled 100,000 people in sweltering heat. The Queen of Pop indeed.
I was still living in East Berlin at the time Madona took over the world. The 1980s was the last great decade.
2000s was the last great decade
@@Bhullarsaab92 No the 2000s was the beginning of the end. When 9/11 happened everything went to shit.
East Berlin? That had to have been an interesting time to be living over there at the time. America put out two movies in the 80s with Berlin as the setting called Target and Gotcha! Somehow, I think it was a bit exaggerated. But, it worked as scare propaganda to me being a young kid when they first came out.
I would say the 1990s was the last great decade. Both the 90s and the 80s were phenomenal. Actually, despite some problems, most o the 20th century was pretty phenomenal. The 2000s was when it all went downhill.
@@islandbee Ja DDR
OMG, she's giving it all. I love this performance. Every now and then I go back to watch old Madonna performances to remember myself why I fell in love with her talent at 14yrs old. I'm 36 now and I love her even more. She's so underrated these days. All these pop girls that are coming around, should thank her. She opened up the road to all women in pop from the 80s to this day.
当時この動画を何度見たことか
今見てもカッコええよ！
*Unforgettable... Great to watch her so natural, so full of energy as always.*
This is natural talent and a big ego. Madonna believed in herself, she knew she was good. She owned the stage and commanded respect.
You have to admire this young girl here's self esteem. She was gutsy and had hidden balls.
This is Madonna really proving herself. And as we all know, Yesss!!!
Her voice is really strong. It's all her, unlike now with backing tracks etc.
Madonna was just becoming famous then and as a 13-year-old at the time, I was in awe!! Live Aid was so amazingly huge. It's hard to convey to kids today how fantastic it was just to see such a live concert and the fact there was Wembley and Philadelphia going one at the same time - this concert was shown live on telly basically all day! Beats the Test Card!
I was only born in 2003 so no I obviously never will know how big it was. But I think a story I did hear is that all the official tapes from live aid were found at the back of the BBC archives. I think Geldoff wanted the tapes burned or destroyed so no extra money could be made from them. But for whatever reason the BBC didn't and as I said they suddenly turned up at the back of a cupboard. I think the list is incomplete though because I think MTV followed through on the promise. For instance I think there's 1 or 2 Ultravox songs missing.
Hopefully you found this mildly interesting
To be fair, she was huge at this time, hence getting the gig. Granted though, she wasn't 'accepted' by the music press and was very much against the industry of male dominance. But yes, it was an amazing day and we watched it in our classroom haha!
was her music made for only under aged KIDS to listen to ??
