once a decade, madonna releases a masterpiece of an album: 1980’s: like a prayer 1990’s: ray of light 2000’s: confessions on a dance floor 2010’s: rebel heart 2020’s: loading…
Hard Candy and MDNA were the first albums it sounded like she was chasing trends instead of setting them. Rebel Heart sounds fresh even today, it was a return to form
I’m not sure she was “chasing” trends with those albums as much as she was just embracing them. She didn’t act like she was chasing trends or pretend the music was anything other than what it was. In any case, the albums’ tours were certainly trendsetting. Ha.
Nice opinion Cats, accurately agree. I was really happy with MDNA and of course, specifically after I watched the DVD of the tour. Touring is our Queens bread and butter clearly, but it was a positive influence of my opinion towards the album.
This was my introduction to Madonna lol, well atleast her Music because I knew the name. I was 15 in High School when this came out and I noticed new Music by "Madonna" and I knew she was a Legend but never bothered listening to her before and was like "What the heck let's just listen" and I liked it very much and I've been following her Ever since
Favorite Madonna album since Confessions. Sonically diverse & packed with pathos. She was inspired and had so many catchy songs on this album. Bobs abound. Missing tracks: Auto-Tune Baby & Queen. It was so wild to be around Madonna and her family knowing that she had just dropped such a dope album.

but that's the beauty in it. it's about keeping it fresh and never letting people lose interest in you because you can always blow there minds and I've been mind blown every album I discovered
This feels like a “legacy” album, a lot of throwback and references to her past work, but using new (at the time) sounds, it's a decent album, i get why it could be a favorite for many
The exceptional thing throughout Madonna's discography, and it's something that she is mainly responsible for, but not recognized for enough, is her melodic sensibility and the emotiveness of her voice. She has created or molded some absolutely beautiful melodies from the very beginning.
Yes, I very much admire her emotiveness-- she sings with real feeling. There are some singers who have stronger voices but not as much feeling. To me Donna Summer is my idea of having both.
Rebel Heart is such a great album. Such a shame that the album only sold 1 million copies worldwide and was the first album not to have a top 10 hit single. This was all due to Madonna being a 56 year old ageing Pop star.
@@gopies1456 Exactly. It's already 98% sold out. Touring is where the real money is anyway now in the business. Will add very nicely to already very large bank account. Get tickets now if you can since it's probably her last.
it¨s a great album. I think that the fact that it leaked hurt the album and singles performance.... it was a real shame... "leaving for love" and "ghosttown" really deserved better posstions in the billboard hot 100 ... not only bubbling under status...
This was the album that was geared to introduce her to the “next generation” of pop music fans who might not have known her previous work. Through the song selection, she was able to show the two major sides of her personality on this album - the “rebel” and the “heart”. Definitely one of her great artistic achievements.
Rebel Heart is what happens when Madonna focuses on music and only music while making a record. She had so many other things going on while making Hard Candy and and MDNA and the albums suffered for it. But Rebel Heart was classic Madonna back on top of her game. Brilliant songwriting and sleek, forward-thinking production. I do wish she’d released more singles off of it, tho. Iconic and Holy Water absolutely deserved to be singles. And both songs are highlights on the subsequent tour. I loved this reaction video. I was thinking we might have lost you a bit after the last two album reactions. Haha.
The album is underrated. Because MDNA was pretty shit, people are like Madonna post 2008 is not good anymore but this is actually a great versatile pop album. Most songs are good to great. The ballads are classic Madonna. Joan Of Arc, Rebel Heart, Heartbreak city, Ghosttown are amazing, great lyrics too.
Wooden vocals and generic anonymous EDM production = both MDNA and Rebel Heart. She absorbed the styles and identities and flows of everyone else that produced this and she got lost in the mix. The fact that Taylor was immediately able to detect Avicii in track #2 speaks volumes. And the songwriting/lyrics were juvenile in an unironic way. This album just wasn’t it and the public response basically confirmed that.
This album is fire and very underappreciated. Devil pray, Ghosttown, Inside out, Wash all over rme, Iconic and Joan of Arc are EPIC 👌👌👌ps, I added Devil pray and Iconic to my playlist in 2015 and lost 45kg in less than 6 months. Just something about those 2 songs... 🔥
I loved this album when I first heard it and still love it. It would’ve been a massive hit breaking records if she were under 50. The music industry and radio stations are ageist so they didn’t pay any attention to it as they should’ve. But critics did praise the record. And fans love it. Ironically, it’s the Super Deluxe tracks that have always been my favorites from the album. Guess there are some of us fans of those tracks so I’m glad she added them. I actually like them better than songs like Illuminati, Bitch I’m Madonna, Holy Water, SEX. So bottom line is this super deluxe album has something for everyone to like.
I am impressed, the Queen Did that . 30 years into her career. I cant think of anybody else achieving that. 30 years offcourse not a long time, But in pop culture it is light years.
Shocked that you didn’t heart Ghosttown, my favorite track along with Wash All Over Me. Great reaction Taylor. I will join patreon soon, wanna see all your tour reactions. 🎉🎉🎉
Your reactions are so satisfying to watch. Genuine and succinct reactions and perfect pacing. Glad you liked this album! It’s her best post-Confessions album to me, but Madame X is bonkers, I’m sure you’ll appreciate it.
I don’t really f with Rebel Heart… it’s the only studio album I never bought outright, just a few singles. I much prefer Madame X, but the great thing about M is she’s so experimental that there’s always going to be something different for her fans. Some albums people will gravitate to, and others they won’t, it’s all good
I've been a big fan of Madonna since I was a child, the first era of hers that I followed in detail was Confessions, I was 11 years old 😃😂... I always thought it was her best era, in terms of music and performances, but then she released this album, and my opinion changed. Rebel Heart is my favorite album, right after Confessions 🥰 The vulnerability and love that she expresses in this album, the message of self-love and self-belief that she delivers, is, and always will be for me the best that she has delivered. I'm glad more people are discovering this side of her. Now get ready for Madame X!!! It's a very experimental album, but still a solid album and a good one.
Rebel Heart was the album that the "internet" generation discovered Madonna; the first where covers of the songs posted online, sometimes even before the album came out. It's also some of her best writing since Ray of Light and in 20 years time, the songs from Rebel Heart will become as well known and mass performed like those of the "Great American Songbook" tradition, as has already happened with "Like a Prayer" and the songs from Ray of Light, particularly "Frozen" which has taken on a life of its own.
Your reaction to 'S.E.X.' had me dying!! I was a little iffy about how you would react to this because "Rebel Heart" is such an all over the place working; it's experimental in some ways, beautiful in other ways, and forgettable in others. To me, I've always looked at it like she was making one of those painting art things where there are balloons full of paint on a wall and she was throwing darts to expose what was inside. A little all over the place, but the gems are really, really good. I'm *very* very interested to see how you're going to do with "Madame X", which is her most unique sounding album to date.
Taylor, you're fun to watch. And good. Madonna reminds us she can go anywhere she wants. 👏 What a ride!... Thanks for taking this Madonna journey! One more to go and it is something to remember. Loved Rebel Heart and Madame X hit my spot! Thanks Madonna for never stopping. You've been on my radar since 1983 , been on this lifelong journey with you and I love you more than ever. F*** the criticism of late! Do this as long as you want. I think you earned it! Lol.... You sound amazing on Rebel Heart.
Like N° 1.947... Believe me, I really liked your reaction; Thank you very much for choosing this magnificent album and knowing how to listen and enjoy it. Greeting from Argentina; You already have a new subscriber!
Rebel Heart is special to me because I saw her live for the first time on the RH tour - Iconic live was something magical, Messiah the interlude, absolutely beautiful, I was lucky the Like A Prayer was my surprise song too, a night I will never forget and in 39 days, I will be seeing her again on The Celebration Tour, this is the reason I am on the deep dive, thanks for the content! The MDNA shade though 😭 I love me some MDNA as a pre workout treat 🤩
As always watching you experience the music of Madonna is so much fun. I enjoy your honest interpretation of her songs. I enjoyed this album very much and I think she was robbed of more billboard hits because ppl were over her in a big way. Living for love, Ghosttown, should have been big. Glad to see you feeling this album like you did ❤❤❤❤❤
Great reaction. I hadn't listened to this album all the way through in a very long time, so really fun to revisit with you. (I could barely listen to MDNA all the way through even once...not sure I ever actually did) You mentioned "duality" a lot and I believe that was Madonna's intention with this album. And just the name "Rebel Heart" sums that up so perfectly.
Duality yes! Madonna original plan was to launch a 2 part album, one CD with the Rebel label (all pop catching and strong songs) and the other CD with the Heart label (all the slow/ballads and heartfelt songs). When the demos got leaked months before, the plan was sent to garbage, she was mad af.
Some of the tracks have an Avicii vibe because he worked on the album. When the demos started to leak she changed up some of the tracks before the album was released. The original demos exist online.
Always pushing boundaries. Keeping herself on the top without loosing her key musical style and staying up with the trends. That is why she is the Queen of Pop. 💚
I think the duality of the production you describe is spot on. I believe Madonna once explained that 'Rebel Heart' is also, maybe obviously, about the 'Rebel' and the 'Heart' in her. That explains why most songs have this juxtaposition of harsh beats and softer, sensitive lyrics.
To this day I truly believe that this is the best album of hers in years (since Confessions)! Best night is one of my absolute favorites and it sounds like it just jumped out of Erotica album!
The demos for this record were heavier on the Avicii influences and they are *spectacular*! I am digging your Madonna reactions, binging them all right now!!
Great done dear Taylor, right on!!! Greetings from L'Europe three country Zone-Area German French Swiss Border Lörrach,Germany 15 Min walk to Basel Switzerland 🇨🇭. All the best to "YA" 🍀🍀🍀 Yours, Josha 🙋♂️
That album was ruined by over production and repeated use of autotune and vocorder. Vocorder on damn near every track! She sounds like a robot through most of it.
Do you have any idea how much I was waiting for this reaction 😍 💞 ♥. You got admit that this album was better than Hard Candy 😂. I hope don't wait another season for Madame X (deluxe version 18 tracks) 🤗. Thanks for this dear Taylor
I love how you go for like 6 months and then you come back all “well, where were we last week…” lmao, we're only 1 album left, i'm gonna miss these, looking forward your final ranking
Really happy you were able to listen to this record. It's a very underrated album. I do feel she ultimately included far too many songs for the final release. It should have been edited down to the 11-12 strongest tracks. But overall the quality was a HUGE step up from MDNA in songwriting and production. Feel free to check out the history of the album a bit, as several tracks leaked while they were still being worked on. She ended up remixing them quite quickly so that they still felt fresh for the record's release. Some fans (including myself) prefer some of the demo versions. But what ultimately ended up on the album was still solid. The only exception to that being the original demo of "Beautiful Scars", which you can find on RUclips. Give it a listen. The original demo is absolutely gorgeous.
@@edwincunha7806 calma homi, ela vai vir no começo de 2024. quando ela fala que é world tour é porque vai ser mesmo, principalmente porque os latinos são a maior parte do público dela.
41,000 people checked this video out to see Taylor react to MAdonna music. WOW. That is a testament to the power of Madonna, but Taylor gets alot of credit for being AWESOME too!!
I’ve waited MONTHS if not YEARS for this reaction. This is by far my #1 album by her. Inside Out, Devil Pray, Joan of Arc, Wash All Over Me are all in my top 10 songs by her of all time! Thank you for the reaction
natalia kills from cruel youth was the one who wrote holy water, she also did another song called trust no bitch with madonna, but it didn't make the final cut of the album, but the demo it's available here on youtube
G'day it's Steven from Down Under I haven't even finished watching all of your reaction yet but I have to say this is a seriously underrated album, and probably and sadly the end of the best she has to offer, let's hope not. All hail the Queen of Pop!
Actually this album was hard produced by Avicii and his team, sounds and lyrics. But then Avicii got sick and left the project, so Madonna had to make new sounds with Diplo, Mile Dean and Kanye west. Also every song leaked one year before the album came out. You can also react to some Avicii demo from Rebel heart, and those demos are pure art, trust me
Madonna produced Hold Tight herself. And she totally changed it from the 5th demo, which is amazing. Originally it was intended to be a 2CD album Rebel + Heart but the leaks fucked up the rollout. That’s why it has these many tracks and demos
By far my fave current Madonna album...wish you would also do a reaction to the RH session demos (these demos exist in life...I'm only presenting life!!!) Cause quite frankly nothing compares to the Rebel Heart and Wash All Over Me demo Avicii versions!

once a decade, madonna releases a masterpiece of an album:
1980’s: like a prayer
1990’s: ray of light
2000’s: confessions on a dance floor
2010’s: rebel heart
2020’s: loading…
Bedtime stories was also a masterpiece.
Madame X is a lot better than Rebel Heart imo, it's more authentic I feel
Rebel Heart is an amazing album, it’s probably the Madonna album I listen to most.
Me too
X3
Up! 💗
Same ❤
sameeeee
Hard Candy and MDNA were the first albums it sounded like she was chasing trends instead of setting them. Rebel Heart sounds fresh even today, it was a return to form
Trying to copy Nelly Furtado's Loose was her biggest mistake. She was supposed to go to Diplo after Confessions.
I’m not sure she was “chasing” trends with those albums as much as she was just embracing them. She didn’t act like she was chasing trends or pretend the music was anything other than what it was. In any case, the albums’ tours were certainly trendsetting. Ha.
I loved Hard Candy
She wasn't chasing trends doing songs with Nicki minaj?
Nice opinion Cats, accurately agree. I was really happy with MDNA and of course, specifically after I watched the DVD of the tour. Touring is our Queens bread and butter clearly, but it was a positive influence of my opinion towards the album.
Living For Love is Like A Prayer but on shrooms, love it
Yaaaaasss!
I still can’t believe that people slept on Ghosttown and Living for Love, they are fantastic ❤
Thanks to the lack of airplay. Radio stopped playing Madonna’s music due to her age.
It's a great pop album! So many good songs, very versatile sound, i love it. Melodic all the way through.
This was my introduction to Madonna lol, well atleast her Music because I knew the name. I was 15 in High School when this came out and I noticed new Music by "Madonna" and I knew she was a Legend but never bothered listening to her before and was like "What the heck let's just listen" and I liked it very much and I've been following her Ever since
Madonna is the greatest act ever. She has done everything. Check her older albums. They're all masterpieces.
Love this album #justiceforrebelheart ❤
Favorite Madonna album since Confessions. Sonically diverse & packed with pathos. She was inspired and had so many catchy songs on this album. Bobs abound. Missing tracks: Auto-Tune Baby & Queen. It was so wild to be around Madonna and her family knowing that she had just dropped such a dope album.
Queen is such a beautifully tragic song
This album is one of her best and most underrated for sure. Still sounds so fresh and new. Wish it got the attention it deserved :(

every Madonna fan knows that every album is an era and is different from the rest.
but that's the beauty in it. it's about keeping it fresh and never letting people lose interest in you because you can always blow there minds and I've been mind blown every album I discovered
I'm listening it again after a while and it has aged so well!! It still sounds fresh, it has many iconic songs. I love this album.
This feels like a “legacy” album, a lot of throwback and references to her past work, but using new (at the time) sounds, it's a decent album, i get why it could be a favorite for many
The exceptional thing throughout Madonna's discography, and it's something that she is mainly responsible for, but not recognized for enough, is her melodic sensibility and the emotiveness of her voice. She has created or molded some absolutely beautiful melodies from the very beginning.
Yes, I very much admire her emotiveness-- she sings with real feeling. There are some singers who have stronger voices but not as much feeling. To me Donna Summer is my idea of having both.
This album actually introduced me to madonna
And yes...Avicii very much participated in production
although most of his work thankfully got cut and reworked by other producers
This was my real introduction to her too! Other than knowing the hits.
@@AlexeBriand2002 mmm i wouldn't say thankfully. Kanye West destroyed all the magic that Wash All Over Me had. That demo was a hit.
@@Gustyrd1He certainly did! He also sucked the life out of Illuminati .
@@ms.b9093 i forgot about that one. Yeah. The demo was really fun
Definitely my favorite Madonna album
Rebel Heart is such a great album. Such a shame that the album only sold 1 million copies worldwide and was the first album not to have a top 10 hit single. This was all due to Madonna being a 56 year old ageing Pop star.
Not to mention it leaked months earlier and surely had so many more people download all the demos which were arguably superior versions.
@marvinquezada7203 yet her tour is selling out where they are putting third and fourth shows in every city
@@gopies1456 Exactly. It's already 98% sold out. Touring is where the real money is anyway now in the business. Will add very nicely to already very large bank account. Get tickets now if you can since it's probably her last.
@Marvin MQZ her tour is selling out all over the world
it¨s a great album. I think that the fact that it leaked hurt the album and singles performance.... it was a real shame... "leaving for love" and "ghosttown" really deserved better posstions in the billboard hot 100 ... not only bubbling under status...

this album didn't do anything it was a big flop. this album ended madonna career
If there is a channel to watch reactions, especially Madonna’s, this is the one! Never disappoints!!

This is my favourite madonna album. I love Inside Out, probably my fav.
totally agree
Is MDNA and me against the wordl T______T
Madame x is still amazing, not the best but probably the best album since confessions
Wooden vocals and generic anonymous EDM production = both MDNA and Rebel Heart. She absorbed the styles and identities and flows of everyone else that produced this and she got lost in the mix.
The fact that Taylor was immediately able to detect Avicii in track #2 speaks volumes. And the songwriting/lyrics were juvenile in an unironic way. This album just wasn’t it and the public response basically confirmed that.

The demo for rebel heart us the best
Tragic girl and rebel heart demos are gems ..and I LOVE LOVE the leaked track “Queen”…just wow
Its my favorite álbum
GRAFFITI HEART AND ADDICTED SHOULD’VE BEEN ON THE ALBUM. PERIOD.
Ghosttown, Hold Tight and Heartbreak City are my top 3 from this album.
This album is masterpiece my fav ones are Best Night, S.E.X, Holy Water, Iconic, Veni Vidi Vici
Messiah breaks my heart a little, and LOVE it!!!!
Thanks Taylor👊💙👍

Addicted. Been years and still one of my favorite
i miss your madonna reaction
Great reaction. I hadn't listened to this album all the way through in a very long time, so really fun to revisit with you. (I could barely listen to MDNA all the way through even once...not sure I ever actually did)
You mentioned "duality" a lot and I believe that was Madonna's intention with this album. And just the name "Rebel Heart" sums that up so perfectly.
Duality yes! Madonna original plan was to launch a 2 part album, one CD with the Rebel label (all pop catching and strong songs) and the other CD with the Heart label (all the slow/ballads and heartfelt songs). When the demos got leaked months before, the plan was sent to garbage, she was mad af.
The duality you're taking about in each song is fitting for the title - rebel and heart
holy water live is amazing!!
Some of the tracks have an Avicii vibe because he worked on the album. When the demos started to leak she changed up some of the tracks before the album was released. The original demos exist online.
I love Body Shop so much. I think it's ADORABLE and so sweet!!
Loved to watch and see this whole JOURNEY with you 👍🏻
Always pushing boundaries. Keeping herself on the top without loosing her key musical style and staying up with the trends. That is why she is the Queen of Pop. 💚
My Favorite Madonna Album 🙌🏾
Ayeeeee thank you for giving Addicted some time in the sun
I think the duality of the production you describe is spot on. I believe Madonna once explained that 'Rebel Heart' is also, maybe obviously, about the 'Rebel' and the 'Heart' in her.
That explains why most songs have this juxtaposition of harsh beats and softer, sensitive lyrics.
To this day I truly believe that this is the best album of hers in years (since Confessions)!
Best night is one of my absolute favorites and it sounds like it just jumped out of Erotica album!

That album was ruined by over production and repeated use of autotune and vocorder. Vocorder on damn near every track! She sounds like a robot through most of it.
Rebel heart is an amazing album
Do you have any idea how much I was waiting for this reaction 😍 💞 ♥. You got admit that this album was better than Hard Candy 😂. I hope don't wait another season for Madame X (deluxe version 18 tracks) 🤗. Thanks for this dear Taylor
I always like your reactions. Your awesome and hilarious!!
Thnx T!!
👍💙👊Zane
One of my top5 favorite Madonna albums! I’m glad you listened to the Super Deluxe edition!
Love your reaction to the tracks… Madonna is the best!
I love how you go for like 6 months and then you come back all “well, where were we last week…” lmao, we're only 1 album left, i'm gonna miss these, looking forward your final ranking
I love your vídeo reactions. You really get into the songs both lyrically and sonically and give an honest reaction.
can't believe 'yeezus love my .... best' was cut... I NEEDED TO SEE YOUR REACTION
Living for love, ghosttown, Joan of arc, body shop, messiah, Graffiti heart, devil pray.. so many classic gems
Really happy you were able to listen to this record. It's a very underrated album. I do feel she ultimately included far too many songs for the final release. It should have been edited down to the 11-12 strongest tracks. But overall the quality was a HUGE step up from MDNA in songwriting and production. Feel free to check out the history of the album a bit, as several tracks leaked while they were still being worked on. She ended up remixing them quite quickly so that they still felt fresh for the record's release. Some fans (including myself) prefer some of the demo versions. But what ultimately ended up on the album was still solid. The only exception to that being the original demo of "Beautiful Scars", which you can find on RUclips. Give it a listen. The original demo is absolutely gorgeous.
Love this album! Seven years ago I was in Miami to watch the Rebel Heart Tour. Amazing experience!
I was just thinking the other day this was 7 years ago!! Where does the time go?! Will you be seeing her on her Celebration Tour?!
@@GVL_LAD I won't... I'm from Brazil and she's not coming here this time... At least for now.
@@edwincunha7806 calma homi, ela vai vir no começo de 2024. quando ela fala que é world tour é porque vai ser mesmo, principalmente porque os latinos são a maior parte do público dela.
41,000 people checked this video out to see Taylor react to MAdonna music. WOW. That is a testament to the power of Madonna, but Taylor gets alot of credit for being AWESOME too!!
I’ve waited MONTHS if not YEARS for this reaction. This is by far my #1 album by her. Inside Out, Devil Pray, Joan of Arc, Wash All Over Me are all in my top 10 songs by her of all time! Thank you for the reaction
You laughing at the metaphors are cracking me up!!!!😂😂😂😂
Holy Water is like the baby sister of Where Life Begins 😂
And deeper and deeper but trap
This comment 👌😂
i love this album!!!! her vocals in this album are insane....
natalia kills from cruel youth was the one who wrote holy water, she also did another song called trust no bitch with madonna, but it didn't make the final cut of the album, but the demo it's available here on youtube
Best Night is my favorite track from this album!
you should do a heart deep dive. they are amazing, especially Ann Wilson.
This is a great album; edited and reshuffled to a thematically tighter 14 tracks, this could have been a classic.
G'day it's Steven from Down Under
I haven't even finished watching all of your reaction yet but I have to say this is a seriously underrated album, and probably and sadly the end of the best she has to offer, let's hope not.
All hail the Queen of Pop!
Actually this album was hard produced by Avicii and his team, sounds and lyrics. But then Avicii got sick and left the project, so Madonna had to make new sounds with Diplo, Mile Dean and Kanye west. Also every song leaked one year before the album came out.
You can also react to some Avicii demo from Rebel heart, and those demos are pure art, trust me
Give the title track another listen - it is fantastic.
This album still remains on my top 5 madonna albums. It’s number 5 lol
Madonna produced Hold Tight herself. And she totally changed it from the 5th demo, which is amazing. Originally it was intended to be a 2CD album Rebel + Heart but the leaks fucked up the rollout. That’s why it has these many tracks and demos
Can't wait to see your reaction on MadameX album..
you made me fall in love with this album again. thank you
ICONIC sounds verrrry expensive!!!!!! Love it
👍💙👊Zane
By far my fave current Madonna album...wish you would also do a reaction to the RH session demos (these demos exist in life...I'm only presenting life!!!) Cause quite frankly nothing compares to the Rebel Heart and Wash All Over Me demo Avicii versions!
Absolutely, without question or hesitation. 🌟
He’s alive, omg!
This album is extremely underrated
"Addicted" is amazing!
