Madonna took her character's 3 songs from the film, (Sooner or Later, More, What Can You Lose) and created a whole album from her character's perspective. Really clever.
i used to think Vogue didn’t fit in with the rest of the album since it’s obviously not jazz, but the rap verse about 30s-40s Hollywood stars does fit with the Dick Tracy era
Madonna's performance of " Sooner or Later" at the Oscars is simply iconic. The best performance ever at the Oscars. You should react to it as she elevates the song into a complete show per se. That song won an Oscar that night.
Hec yeah! That performance is ICONIC! The look, the attitude, the voice, everything was on point. Even at the end when her diamond earring falls on her neck she throws it to the orchestra with full on attitude!
This is a must see performance. Truly one of best performances and certainly one of the best if the best live vocal performance. She owned that Oscars show and night, along with her little known date for the night, so guy called Michael Jackson?!?...not not me either! Haha 😂 It's an overused phrase these days but her whole performance from the entrance to the exit from the stage was ICONIC! 🏅🏅💪💪🥰🥰 Much love and thanks for this deep dive, you are one of the only reviewers that get her actual musical talent as a song writer and producer. Most people and critics get distracted by the images/videos and the controversy and miss the real moments of genius and sometimes tongue in cheek humour, i.e. Hanky Panky, I'm going bananas, cry baby. It was just an album made to have some fun and also she loves big band music from listening to what her Father was playing around the house. It's not a serious album. But then beautiful moments like Something to remember about the death of her teenage dance teacher who snuck her into gay clubs and she found her spiritual home! Haha 😂. Also what can you loose with Mandy Patinkin, just beautiful and heart breaking. Then the fun of convincing Warren Beatty to record a duet. Light hearted fun bit of a vanity project. I don't count it as a real M album proper. Best of love and thanks again for actually appreciating that she is a talented musician. ❤️💯👍👍👏👏🙌🙌✌️✌️@OTDEMusic
Madonna’s character in Dick Tracy was Breathless Mahoney. I’m Breathless was her building her character in song. She always used all available media to her advantage. She’s so creative.
Vogue is one of her biggest songs of all time. Probably one of the most recognisable songs. A huge Anthem for the LGBTQ community. The dance form Vogueing was created by the black lgbtq community at the the legendary balls.
Vogue transcends LGBTQIAXYZ drama. Because even straight boys can dig Vogue. But yes, it is an anthem, which was not known as a gay thing for cultures who never heard of The Ball or Voguing culture.
@@Vertigotheatre1 she was accused of ripping off gay culture, what they missed is that she was actually shining a light on it. Hence having the originals in the video and on her tour
Madonna was introduced to Vogueing when her long time friend Debi Mazar that she met in 82 at the Danceteria night club told her about it and took her to the Sound Factory night club where she met with Jose Gutierrez and Luis Camacho of the House of Xtravaganza. She was so impressed with their dancing that she asked them to audition for her upcoming Blond Ambition Tour and they appear in her Vogue music video, Blond Ambition Tour and Truth or Dare documentary which was about the tour.
Initially- there wasn’t really a game plan by Warner Brothers to do an entire album other than the basic soundtrack to the film. “Vogue” changed all that. “Vogue” was written as a B-side for “Keep It Together”. Thankfully- WB knew it was a monster, and wouldn’t release it until they could couple it with an album. “I’m Breathless”- really a concept Madonna album with three songs from Dick Tracy- was born. The cheekiness of this album was delightful. And- Madonna vocally was in top form.
Broadway fact... Mandy played Che in the original London Broadway version of Evita. He had a completely different storyline in that version then what most Americans know.
Yep, the Evita vocal sessions ruined her voice. Singing in a 'technical' way is not soulful. From that movie and on her music has never had the depth to touch my soul again :(
I think her vocals were the best on her entire career. Low, middle and high register. Incredible performance on Oscar's night when she sang the winner song. The prime of Madonna.
its not a studio album though. But yes, it one very brave and creative attempt of Madonna. She clearly wasnt interested in churning billboard no. 1 hits as much as she is interested in keeping her originality and artistic integrity. This album really grew old wonderfully. Not sure where I’ll rank it on my own top 10 albums. Like A Prayer is at no. 1 and Ray of Light at 2 and American Life at 3. But I can put all albums at no.1
Thought he would do Erotica after Like a Prayer (and eventually miss Vogue and Hanky Panky). But makes sense he's doing the whole album since it's called a deep dive.
Not at all. He makes more fun of the music than anything. He shouldn’t skim through the songs either. He’s truly missing out on Madonna’s great masterpieces. Especially, since these were written and composed by the great Stephen Sondheim.
Madonna’s character Breathless Mahoney, in Dick Tracy, was one of the most perfect characters she could ever play. I’ve always said, the growth from her first album to this, deserved a Grammy. She has always been undervalued as an artist who has literally sung every genre of music and done it expertly.
she has NOT song every genre of music.. who the hell are you kiding? I love Madge - she was basically the soundtrack of my coming out at my first gay bar. But she's never been a true *musician* with the musical chops of some alter artists. What was her forte' was her brilliance as a PERFORMER. Some acts are both musician AND performer. I love her for waht she did, but will willingly acknowledge she did get a bit superseded later on, as would be reasonable after 30 years or so
XOXOXO - this was one of the first Madonna albums that I owned, the movie Dick Tracy... oh my... I've recently had to rewatch this movie and the album has been on repeat in my feeds. You've hit the mark spot on so much for not having even researched or related the movie to the music!! Loving this playlist!! Thank you!!!
One of my favorite Madonna album, so creative, so cohesive, I even love the transition "Now I'm following you pt.2" to bring the listeners from the world of 30s music to the 90's. The "Vogue" just hit you like a truck.
Thinking that you’re going to experience for the first time the best Madonna eras (90s from early 2000s) makes me sooo jealous! Great reaction, bravo 🙌🏻
Please react to her performances of ''Express Yourself'' at the 1989 VMA, ''Vogue'' at 1990 VMA, ''Like a Virgin'' on Blonde Ambition Tour and the video of Justify My Love that preceded the Erotica Era in 1992
The soundtrack I'm Breathless is for the motion picture Dick Tracy. Even though the movie was deemed a disappointment it did gross $100 million dollars back in 1990. The last song may feel out of place is because it was not intended to ever be released. Vogue was actually going to be the B side single for Like A Prayer however, her business associates convinced her the song was too good to not be released. Thankfully she listened to her business associates and released the song as a single and put it as the last track for the soundtrack to Dick Tracy. The song went to become her 8th number one record ( a record at the time), her best selling single, and introduced voguing to the mainstream along with a groundbreaking music video. If you do anything else please watch the music video for Vogue. It captures everything that is Madonna and know you will not be disappointed.
Disney did lose money, but it did do pretty well and I think they probably made their money back in the long-term. It was Disney's biggest opening weekend at the time, got decent reviews, and was nominated for a few Oscars (and won for Best Song). So I would say it did moderately well.
@@FindingMadonna I agree it did make money and was not a flop. It just did not meet Disney Studio expectations. You are also correct the movie did receive oscar nominations (seven to be exact) and won three (makeup, production design and original song). It was a shame Al Pacino was the only actor recognized for a performance while Madonna was ignored despite winding up being titular character of the film as Breathless Mohonay (sultry night club singer).
@@thomasgreen2525 Yeah Al was definitely chewing scenery, that's why. Madonna's good but not the kind of thing they usually nominate. She's underrated in it though.
hi there just to point out. vogue was actually supposed to be the b side to keep it together, not like a prayer. it was warner bros executives who heard it and knew it was gonna be a huge hit and insisted that it be a single on its own.
You are so Right On. She created musical art for fans like me. I saw Virgin tour..who's that girl tour, blonde ambition and reinvention tours.. she is the OG. Thanks for reviewing this album. We lived it as you heard it.
Excellent reaction! A journey back in time, when soundtracks were thought, written and recorded exclusively for movies. Madonna did a great job on screen and in the studio 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. By the way, you look very handsome 😍😍😍 and it's nice to see you.
I think it’s a really fantastic record I think it’s always under looked. Madonna is a brilliant artist she will never get the respect that she deserves! All the institutions Grammys etc. ignore her always which is fine the Grammys is a joke😂
You must react Madonna’s live performance of sooner or later at the 1991 oscars. Michael Jackson was her date that night. The two most successful artists of the 80’s and 90’s and the biggest stars in the world at that time. Easily Madonna’s best live performance and vocals
I highly recommend watching Dick Tracy. You pretty much guessed the plot! But it's a lot of fun and Madonna's pretty good in it. I love this album - most of the songs aren't actually in the movie, just inspired by the characters, which is probably why you picked up on the different "voices." The songs you thought sounded like musical theater were indeed written Stephen Sondheim, a very famous Broadway composer. "Vogue" was absolutely tacked on, but I think it works. Don't sleep on "Justify My Love" and "Rescue Me" (from her greatest hits album) before moving on to her next studio album. They're very much transitional songs between Like a Prayer/I'm Breathless and Erotica.
Yes yes yes, agreed 1000%. The Immaculate Collection is considered on of the greatest collection hits from an artist. And.. she was the first artist to add new material with Justify My Love and Rescue Me on a collection album. Now its the norm. Such a maverick for her time.
29:05---Vogue. One of the most iconic songs in my GLBTQ+ community. It is the "I Willl Survive" by Gloria Gaynor, of the 90's to date. Long live the Queen, Madonna! 🇲🇽🇺🇲🏳️🌈
Vogue was produced by Shep Pettibone, at that perood of time he used the Bazooka drums, and this type of composition you can hear it on the Janet Jackson’s remix of Miss You Much (Shep’s House Dub)
I loved your reaction to I´m Breathless!!! Please, make a reaction video to Blond Ambition Tour and you will understand why Madonna is the queen. She made the path for the all popstars we know today. The Blond Ambition tour changed the way to make concerts. Thank for the video ❤❤❤❤
I’m Breathless was one of three soundtracks released for the film Dick Tracy: Madonna’s great concept album, from the perspective of her character, also a 2nd soundtrack of songs by other artists recorded for the movie, and finally the movie’s film score written by Danny Elfman. Not many movies get 3 albums, but this was a big movie in 1990, and the studio’s marketing machine (Touchstone Pictures, an imprint of Disney) was working at full throttle on this one.
First time on your channel and think it’s so great you’re doing this deep dive into her entire catalogue. This is a great album where she took her character from the Dick Tracy movie and made an entire album out of it. Funny how you were describing detective movies and basically just described Dick Tracy lol
So glad you finally made it to this album, as it’s a nice bookend to her 80’s albums. Now on to Erotica, which literally sounds like nothing you’ve heard from her yet, and starts the next phase of her career. Get ready for Mistress Dita…
Amazing reaction. You NEED to react to her 1991 Oscar performance of Sooner or Later, it's one of her greatest performances, probably even one of the best Oscar performances of all time. Trust me, you don't want to miss it if you're doing a Madonna deep dive.
This album was inspired by the film, "Dick Tracy" that Madonna had a supporting role in. So, you nailed it as far as this reminding you of a detective type story, film noir, where a woman in a tight dress (Madonna) drops a file on a detective's desk to solve a crime that she secretly committed. I thought this was an interesting album and also showed Madonna's range not just in vocals, but the different styles of music she experiments with. She also wrote 6 of the tracks off the album. "Vogue" was a massive huge hit. It's considered one of Madonna's classics. Although it did seem out of place a bit on this album and should've been added to the "Like a Prayer" album since there was certainly space for more hits on that one and it was written and recorded during that time. It was originally supposed to be a B-Side to the "Keep it Together" single from that album anyway. Madonna wrote the lyrics and recorded the song in under three weeks. Released it and it went to #1 immediately. Check out the "Blonde Ambition Tour" which supports many of Madonna's hits pre-1990.
I think Vogue is perfectly placed in this album after the build-up and style transition from Now Im Following You pt1-2. Like he said, its an exit from the previous "world" to enter the Vogue world. Its interesting, listening now, that Now Im Following You pt2 has a somber, moaning segment that seems like a prequel to Justify My Love and Erotica. One of Madonna's most interesting artistic eras.
This is one of my favorite album of hers! It’s probably the one I listen to the most! Like others have said you gotta watch her perform sooner or later at the oscars! Amazing! And before you do erotica you have to listen to the two new songs on her immaculate collection album. Justify my love and my number 1 favorite song of Madonna Rescue Me. You got yourself a new subscriber!
This album is called I'm Breathless: Music From And Inspired By The Movie Dick Tracy. This album is Madonna's way of doing a character study and expanding on her character's thoughts, feelings and experiences in the songs.
Hey humble guy!! You definitely got the character she was portraying in movie. The duet she sang with was Mandy Patinkin. The other 2 part song u liked was w Warren Beatty. 👍👍
Man, Madonna is the greatest artist the world has ever known. For real. She is so fucking creative and ahead of her fuckin times. I just love her. Glad you're doing all of her discography. She, The Queen, worths it!
The last track Vogue was originally planned for her B-side to her upcoming single Keep It Together in early 1990. But when her record label executives heard it they knew it was going to be a hit. So Madonna put this song on this album because it was next album or soundtrack release after Like A Prayer and because of the rap in towards the end of the song she lists the famous actors and actresses with the exception of Joe DiMaggio who was a well known baseball player who was once married to Marilyn Monroe that were considered the Golden Age of Hollywood from the 30s, 40s and 50s. And because Dick Tracy was set in the 30s with gangsters, moll like Breathless Mahoney and with a film noir feeling she felt that the song was a good way to add to it and close it out. Plus even though Vogueing and the stars that she raps in the song are from older times the song itself production wise and the genre it is in takes her back to her dance music roots. Madonna was introduced to Vogueing when her long time friend Debi Mazar, who Madonna met in 82 at the Danceteria night club where Madonna made her break through the DJ Mark Kamins, told her about it and took her to see Jose Gutierrez and Luis Camacho vogue at the Sound Factory night club in NYC. Madonna was so impressed with their dancing that she asked them to audition for her upcoming Blond Ambition Tour and they appeared in her Vogue music video and Blond Ambition Tour and Truth or Dare documentary which is the behind the scenes of the Blond Ambition Tour. I can't wait for you to react to the Vogue music video and the Blond Ambition Tour.
In regards to your "its the 1990s" comment, in reference to Cry Baby,, it's actually set in the 30s gangster noir world, so fits that time period's moral ideas, though released in 1990.
That's Mandy Patankin, Broadway and TV star singing on What Can You Lose. It's Warren Beatty, movie star and non -singer, attempting to sing on Now I'm Following You. Reminds me of Pierce Brosnan trying to sing in Mamma Mia film. I remember reading something about autotune being created for Warren Beatty's bad singing, or that it was the first time it was publicly acknowledged that autotune existed and was used.
This album is just pure fun! And I can't get over how Vogue originally was a B-side before it got pushed up because the executives insisted it was a hit. Blonde Ambition tour had so many of these songs and it was so great.
The feature on What Can You Lose is Mandy Patinkin. He’s an actor and a Broadway Star. If you watched the show Homeland with Claire Danes, he was the other lead “Saul Berenson”. He was also the make lead with Patti LuPone in the original broadway production of Evita.
The biggest traversty of this album was the fact that the record company abandoned "Now I'm Following You" as the next single after Hanky Panky. It's a real shame because it's such an innovative song and would probably have been a surefire hit at the time. They even got so far as commissioning promos and remixes before they pulled the pin.
Sooner or Later, More, and What Can You Lose we’re written by the LEGENDARY musical writer Stephen Sondheim. Sooner or Later won the Oscar for best song and Madonna’s Oscar performance of the song is AMAZING
I think including Vogue is a stroke of genius, it's a commentary on the style, beauty and sophistication of Golden Era Hollywood. Ending the soundtrack with Vogue ties the soundtrack to the modern era, were old Hollywood is still being emulated in the Ballrooms.

It was inspired by the movie, Dick Tracey. It wasn’t the soundtrack for the movie.
Someone likes some Hanky Panky…. Lollololol
Madonna took her character's 3 songs from the film, (Sooner or Later, More, What Can You Lose) and created a whole album from her character's perspective. Really clever.
i used to think Vogue didn’t fit in with the rest of the album since it’s obviously not jazz, but the rap verse about 30s-40s Hollywood stars does fit with the Dick Tracy era
And her songs - particularly Back in Business and Something to Remember - are every bit as good as Sondheim 's.

You should check out her Oscars performance of Sooner or Later. It was truly epic and one of her best live performances.
My favourite performance of hers ever
it's way too iconic to skip
In fact, best performance ever at the Oscars
This is a must see performance. Truly one of best performances and certainly one of the best if the best live vocal performance. She owned that Oscars show and night, along with her little known date for the night, so guy called Michael Jackson?!?...not not me either! Haha 😂 It's an overused phrase these days but her whole performance from the entrance to the exit from the stage was ICONIC! 🏅🏅💪💪🥰🥰 Much love and thanks for this deep dive, you are one of the only reviewers that get her actual musical talent as a song writer and producer.

Yes yes yes, agreed 1000%. The Immaculate Collection is considered on of the greatest collection hits from an artist. And.. she was the first artist to add new material with Justify My Love and Rescue Me on a collection album. Now its the norm. Such a maverick for her time.
@@carlosabrigojr3482 I never realized she was the first, but you're probably right. Everyone started doing it after that.
this album is so good omgg
This album is not a soundtrack. It contains a few songs from the movie Dick Tracy and the rest of the songs are inspired by the film.
29:05---Vogue. One of the most iconic songs in my GLBTQ+ community. It is the "I Willl Survive" by Gloria Gaynor, of the 90's to date.
Long live the Queen, Madonna! 🇲🇽🇺🇲🏳️🌈
You look great dude and thanks for reacting this album. 👍🤗
Honestamente, eu acho que "I'M BREATHLESS" é um dos melhores trabalhos da Madonna.
Também acho
Loving your Madonna reactions, her sound completely changes and evolves with each album she releases. Keep them coming.
Vogue was produced by Shep Pettibone, at that perood of time he used the Bazooka drums, and this type of composition you can hear it on the Janet Jackson’s remix of Miss You Much (Shep’s House Dub)
Hanky Panky live in the Blonde Ambition tours is fun
Hanky Panky is genius. Madonna has such a great SOH on this album but also delivers some tearjerkers.
I LOVE Now I'm Following You and that whole transition. LOVE!! In fact, love the whole album. Such artistry!
Thank you for posting. The wait was long but u kept ur promise and continued
LOVE this album so much! I play it more than some of her studio albums.
Loved your reaction!
I loved your reaction to I´m Breathless!!! Please, make a reaction video to Blond Ambition Tour and you will understand why Madonna is the queen. She made the path for the all popstars we know today. The Blond Ambition tour changed the way to make concerts. Thank for the video ❤❤❤❤
very happy that u react to this one! A lot leave it out! thank u, luv ur reaction! x
I’m Breathless was one of three soundtracks released for the film Dick Tracy: Madonna’s great concept album, from the perspective of her character, also a 2nd soundtrack of songs by other artists recorded for the movie, and finally the movie’s film score written by Danny Elfman. Not many movies get 3 albums, but this was a big movie in 1990, and the studio’s marketing machine (Touchstone Pictures, an imprint of Disney) was working at full throttle on this one.
First time on your channel and think it’s so great you’re doing this deep dive into her entire catalogue. This is a great album where she took her character from the Dick Tracy movie and made an entire album out of it. Funny how you were describing detective movies and basically just described Dick Tracy lol
So glad you finally made it to this album, as it’s a nice bookend to her 80’s albums. Now on to Erotica, which literally sounds like nothing you’ve heard from her yet, and starts the next phase of her career. Get ready for Mistress Dita…
Amazing reaction. You NEED to react to her 1991 Oscar performance of Sooner or Later, it's one of her greatest performances, probably even one of the best Oscar performances of all time. Trust me, you don't want to miss it if you're doing a Madonna deep dive.
Esse álbum é coisa de gênio. Perfeição!
This album was inspired by the film, "Dick Tracy" that Madonna had a supporting role in. So, you nailed it as far as this reminding you of a detective type story, film noir, where a woman in a tight dress (Madonna) drops a file on a detective's desk to solve a crime that she secretly committed. I thought this was an interesting album and also showed Madonna's range not just in vocals, but the different styles of music she experiments with. She also wrote 6 of the tracks off the album. "Vogue" was a massive huge hit. It's considered one of Madonna's classics. Although it did seem out of place a bit on this album and should've been added to the "Like a Prayer" album since there was certainly space for more hits on that one and it was written and recorded during that time. It was originally supposed to be a B-Side to the "Keep it Together" single from that album anyway. Madonna wrote the lyrics and recorded the song in under three weeks. Released it and it went to #1 immediately. Check out the "Blonde Ambition Tour" which supports many of Madonna's hits pre-1990.
Nice reaction, a whole new musical experience for me, thank you🙏
I think Vogue is perfectly placed in this album after the build-up and style transition from Now Im Following You pt1-2. Like he said, its an exit from the previous "world" to enter the Vogue world. Its interesting, listening now, that Now Im Following You pt2 has a somber, moaning segment that seems like a prequel to Justify My Love and Erotica. One of Madonna's most interesting artistic eras.
MORE MADONNA!!!
This is one of my favorite album of hers! It’s probably the one I listen to the most! Like others have said you gotta watch her perform sooner or later at the oscars! Amazing! And before you do erotica you have to listen to the two new songs on her immaculate collection album. Justify my love and my number 1 favorite song of Madonna Rescue Me. You got yourself a new subscriber!
so many people reacting to Madonna these days. She´s being recognised for other generations just because she simply can´t be ignored. She´s too big.
This album is called I'm Breathless: Music From And Inspired By The Movie Dick Tracy. This album is Madonna's way of doing a character study and expanding on her character's thoughts, feelings and experiences in the songs.
Someone finally did I'm breathless
YOU'RE A LEGEND
Hey humble guy!! You definitely got the character she was portraying in movie. The duet she sang with was Mandy Patinkin. The other 2 part song u liked was w Warren Beatty. 👍👍
Man, Madonna is the greatest artist the world has ever known. For real. She is so fucking creative and ahead of her fuckin times. I just love her. Glad you're doing all of her discography. She, The Queen, worths it!
Only 5 or 6 songs belong to the DickTracy Soundtrack, the other 6 songs were inspired by the theme of the movie. Amazing album. Amazing reaction!
The Dick Tracy Soundtrack does not include any Madonna recording???? That is what i read on the cover of the casette tape.
@@eduardochavacano I don't know, Is there an official Dick Tracy Soundtrack?
React to the performance of Vogue on VMAs, it’s incredible
The last track Vogue was originally planned for her B-side to her upcoming single Keep It Together in early 1990. But when her record label executives heard it they knew it was going to be a hit. So Madonna put this song on this album because it was next album or soundtrack release after Like A Prayer and because of the rap in towards the end of the song she lists the famous actors and actresses with the exception of Joe DiMaggio who was a well known baseball player who was once married to Marilyn Monroe that were considered the Golden Age of Hollywood from the 30s, 40s and 50s. And because Dick Tracy was set in the 30s with gangsters, moll like Breathless Mahoney and with a film noir feeling she felt that the song was a good way to add to it and close it out. Plus even though Vogueing and the stars that she raps in the song are from older times the song itself production wise and the genre it is in takes her back to her dance music roots.
Madonna was introduced to Vogueing when her long time friend Debi Mazar, who Madonna met in 82 at the Danceteria night club where Madonna made her break through the DJ Mark Kamins, told her about it and took her to see Jose Gutierrez and Luis Camacho vogue at the Sound Factory night club in NYC. Madonna was so impressed with their dancing that she asked them to audition for her upcoming Blond Ambition Tour and they appeared in her Vogue music video and Blond Ambition Tour and Truth or Dare documentary which is the behind the scenes of the Blond Ambition Tour.
I can't wait for you to react to the Vogue music video and the Blond Ambition Tour.
Vocals 🔥
What can you lose is a masterpiece
Brilliant!
In regards to your "its the 1990s" comment, in reference to Cry Baby,, it's actually set in the 30s gangster noir world, so fits that time period's moral ideas, though released in 1990.
I've never heard this first song. Great vocals, overall! Interesting era for M. THX!
Madonna ALWAYS emotes perfectly on every track.
The way he just said the whole plot of Dick Tracy, and apparently he hadn't even watched it
I so agree. Now, I'm following you.
You should react to "THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION"!
He's heard most of those songs though - but he should definitely listen to the two new tracks.
That's Mandy Patankin, Broadway and TV star singing on What Can You Lose. It's Warren Beatty, movie star and non -singer, attempting to sing on Now I'm Following You. Reminds me of Pierce Brosnan trying to sing in Mamma Mia film. I remember reading something about autotune being created for Warren Beatty's bad singing, or that it was the first time it was publicly acknowledged that autotune existed and was used.
Warren didn’t sing on Now I’m Following You
and AutoTune wasn’t invented until 1997
Google disagrees with you @@AlexeBriand2002
@AlexeBriand2002 it was early autotune called pitch-correct or some variant.
Stephen Sondheim wrote produced and arranged Sooner or later, More, and What can you lose. Warren Beatty sings on i'm Following you
This record gets better and better and better every time you listen
Madonna & theater absolute GOD Mandy Patinkin - What Can You Lose. How he looks at her, & how she looks at DT.
This album is just pure fun! And I can't get over how Vogue originally was a B-side before it got pushed up because the executives insisted it was a hit. Blonde Ambition tour had so many of these songs and it was so great.
Sooner or Later WON the Oscar for best song in a movie 🎥
I really loved your comments about this album you reaction was amazing
The feature on What Can You Lose is Mandy Patinkin. He’s an actor and a Broadway Star. If you watched the show Homeland with Claire Danes, he was the other lead “Saul Berenson”. He was also the make lead with Patti LuPone in the original broadway production of Evita.
her song won best song at academy awards
Vogue was a number 1
The biggest traversty of this album was the fact that the record company abandoned "Now I'm Following You" as the next single after Hanky Panky. It's a real shame because it's such an innovative song and would probably have been a surefire hit at the time. They even got so far as commissioning promos and remixes before they pulled the pin.
Sooner or Later, More, and What Can You Lose we’re written by the LEGENDARY musical writer Stephen Sondheim. Sooner or Later won the Oscar for best song and Madonna’s Oscar performance of the song is AMAZING
This music is from and inspired by the movie "Dick Tracy". Such a great movie.
I think including Vogue is a stroke of genius, it's a commentary on the style, beauty and sophistication of Golden Era Hollywood. Ending the soundtrack with Vogue ties the soundtrack to the modern era, were old Hollywood is still being emulated in the Ballrooms.
I love your comment.. by the u are humble hehee.. madonna is such a versatile.. stay safe alwayss
