So many attitudes in that audience
iconic moment in pop culture
Madonna's daughter Lourdes was one of the flower girls at the beginning of the performance. And that shot of Justin Timberlake looking pissed is pricless! Love your reaction videos!
Yeah, the first Timberlake shot, he's sort of playing along - the second one, he looks genuinely annoyed. Great stuff.
JT is such a +w@+… I swear to god. Arrogant for what little talent he has and as much as I don’t care for Brit Brit as an artist, I think he was always such a jerk to her and I’ll always be on her side.
@DeanTailor But we do see the kiss to Christina. Watch again. People just don’t care about XXXtina.
That shot on Mary J Blige when Christina starts singing will always remain hilarious ! 😄
Hahaha, I hadn't registered that one- that is amazing! All of the audience reactions are gold.
@@bridgethegapreactions Mary J is known to dislike Christina. Because of a lack of respect from Christina when she first met Mary J, something like that if I remember.
Wow ok, I like all the Christina I've heard- interesting to know there was some genuine bad blood there. It is a funny reaction face though.
@@Dannyboy.Mary J had this reaction throughout the performance so nothing to do with their misunderstanding that happened in 2004 (they are on good terms now)
@@gc9192that part !
It was the performance of the decade 😮❤ . The next Monday everybody was taking about this without social networks ❤
The reason they opened with like a virgin was cause this was the 20th VMAs and Madonna performed like a virgin on a cake like that at the first one. Also on last year’s celebration tour the 3 layered stage represented the cake and she ended up the show lowering her vale and going down when much of the world was introduced to her at the VMA performance lifting her vale
I too remember seeing this on the front page of newspapers (the kiss with Brittany) the following morning.
The best way to convey how good this entire live performance was at the time is to pay attention to the famous audience members uncanned authentic reactions on their faces. It was pure joy and ecstasy. I think it wasn't a technical performance, but a very generous spirited and lighthearted performance. Before people began calling Madonna the Queen, recently, she has always been humble and down to earth.
No one probably can cover like a virgin, though. The song was actually written by two straight men, but only Madonna was literally born to record that song.
Yeah, I still haven't heard a good Madonna cover!
Jonny baby…. They’ll never be able to “Cancel” Madonna!!!!
Well yeah, she'll keep doing her thing whatever happens!
They definitely tried several times. And she is a polarizing figure, but that’s mainly because she refuses to conform to expectations put on women and she doesn’t give an f if people don’t agree with what she has to say.
MADONNA'S presence is so big, she demands your attention. I dont think she is passing the batton, I think she is showing all her fellow artists that she is the QUEEN. Even with these 2 young artists next to her.
They cut out the scene where Madonna was doggy styling Britney Spears. That’s when Snoop Dogg was laughing. This was a great talked about performance. She was on newspaper covers the next day. One of the girls in the beginning was her daughter, Lourdes.
Maybe Snoop saw the doggy-styling as a tribute to himself?
I loved that she was the groom with two brides
I think the thing about this performance that made iconic is less about the performance itself and more about the moment it hit. Yes, Hollywood was Madonna's current single, and yes this performance was marking the 20th anniversary of Madonna's original Like a Virgin VMA performance. But also Madonna and Missy had just collaborated on a remix of Into the Groove for a Gap Commercial that has become the version of that song Madonna tours, and Me Against the Music was just about to come out/had just come out. And yes, Britney and Justin had broken up just the year prior, and having Britney and Xtina performing together when they were generally considered rivals was a thing. So you have so many pieces that were right up in the cultural consciousness tied into one performance. Then add that Madonna first offered Xtina's role to JLo but she declined it because the original Bennifer wedding was weeks away and...
Perfect description, yes! The only thing it's missing is Kanye storming the stage, but I think he was still primarily a musician and not a meme at this point, haha
@@bridgethegapreactionsKanye wasn't yet a household name at the time of this performance. His first album came out a year after this performance.
Oh I know, he was producing at this time. The only other MTV-centric pop culture figure I could think of is Fred Durst but I think his star had faded by this time.
Fucking iconic, as an impressionable teenager, I was flabbergasted - talked about it for days, Madonna's outfit, choosing to play Hollywood, when the whole room was full of people who belong to that lifestyle - magnificent!!!! please watch the rehearsal video and you will see why Madonna will never be duplicated ❤
I don’t think Madonna was showing Britney how it was done. Britney’s VMA performances are one of the best vmas performances of all time
Forgot to say: i have already reacted to Madonna's original Like A Virgin performance (on Patreon) so I get what this is referencing!
As a Madonna fan, when the American Life album came out, I took the album as Madonna making a bigger 'middle-finger-to-the-mainstream' statement. Her song Hollywood was satirical. By the time this was performed, Hollywood was delivered as literal. It's like Madonna went over their heads, so she was screw it - give 'em what they want.
You know who is the queen of pop when her backup dancers are Britney and Xtina!
👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
And Britney and Xtina were PROUD to play second fiddle to her!!!!!!!
xtina is better than and more impatcful than OLDonna, she can outsing them both
@@ronviray8367 🤡
Christina 😍
I don’t think you got it… Britney and Christina were pitted against each other in the press for years at the time, paying tribute to Madonna’s first performance (Like a Virgin) dressed and dancing the same with Madonna as the groom and not the onehitwonder she was seen as.
I appreciate your comment and I think I do get that. I was saying to someone on Patreon, I think the idea and concept of the whole thing is great, just the execution is a bit lacking at times. Once Madonna comes onstage, it's fine.
Christina wasn't even supposed to perform with them in the first place. Madonna had asked Britney and J.Lo, and J.Lo had to cancel last minute because she was filming "Gigli" in Canada. Then P!nk was asked, who also had to drop out. Christina was 3rd choice.
@@zegodfazer No, they were ALSO asked, not instead of. Either Britney or Christina said in an interview it was top secret because of the controvery of having them both as brides and having Pink and Missy as later surprise guests.
@@coeurdenvie wrong. but whatever makes you sleep at night.
None of that changed the fact this was a tacky and cringe performance by all involved 😂
It was definitely calculated. American Life was maligned after the retraction of the original AL video and the US general public was upset with Madonna and her anti Iraq war views. I think her team was hoping to reingratiate Madonna with this performance. However, all though it was talked about for months didn't really do anything for the single or the album.
Pure POP Culture ❤
The best
i am proud to see your face
Its funny that Christina was the only one singing live and MTV Shut down her mic the whole performance (well just the begging she was singing)
Madonna's daughter Lourdes was one of the flower girls...
Great reaction
Well her first performance on the vmas was controversial, 20 years later she does the same so I think it was a performance to reinvent that controversy. Another 20 years later she is once again at the vmas dressed as a dominatrix and causing controversy about her body, image, age etc.. there’s some calculation here imo but at the same time she’s instinctually making choices in the moment as well.
There were lots of names, they say; Kylie, Jlo, Pink... In my opinion, Britney & Christina were the best names though. In general, "homages" are boring, 'cause no one can do what the original did, although in this case Madonna brought the sassiness, the subversion, the amusement. Madonna is the only one who has had Britney & Christina as backup singers and dancers and Taylor as her guitar player LOL.
I agree the performance is high camp… it’s actually pretty corny in terms of the staging and performance, but what I did love was the message of female sisterhood and empowerment, that she could be ‘the boss’ but still love the new girlies who followed her and give them her blessing. A lot of female artists have talked trash about M, but by and large, she’s taken the high road and frequently performs with other female artists… the exceptions will happen when she’s really disrespected by someone or when someone is ‘borrowing’ a little too much from her playbook to the point of being reductive. 🤣 🫖
Also, the audience reaction was hilarious. JT acting like the douche he is… he really let his mask slip that night. The original Queer Eye guys freaking out, Mary J was not having it. It was a mixed bag of petty and elation.
I think we both viewed this in the same way, totally agree with what you've said. Great message, Madonna on top, anointing younger female artists. I think it can be great and corny at the same time. I'm not sure who the other lady (haha) you're referring to is though... (where is the side-eye emjoi?)
Madonna always wanted to be controversial. Her original live performance of "Like a Virgin" had her performing suggestive dance moves in a wedding dress and a belt that said "Boy Toy" which was considered somewhat shocking in the early 1980s. Twenty years on and things had changed, that sort of thing was now pretty mundane but gay rights, including same-sex marriage, was a hot topic in the early 2000s, so the performance was staged as a polygamous lesbian wedding with Madonna as a female groom marrying two brides. Another twenty years and times have changed again, I'm not even sure what you'd have to do to be controversial anymore.
There are three people on that stage but it’s hard to keep your eyes off of Britney
I do have to disagree ( though respect your opinion) with at least Britney sing Virgin, her voice is so girly and feminine, it sounds great. Her, above the others getting passed the baton, is quite a sweet moment.
She's definitely closer to it than Christina, I'll give you that!
@@bridgethegapreactions -Yes, I agree, and I guess just hearing a pop star of her generation paying homage was really sweet. I do have to say, as you can tell from all the stink eye in the audience, these woman all had to deal with fellow artist that were dismissive.
This comment section is a perfect example of what they went through back then… a lot of people starting personal opinions as they were facts…
This was the most epic thing on tv (in my opinion) before smartphone and daily access to the internet.
…but I do agree that Christina’s voice didn’t fit that type of song in harmony with Britney and Madonna. Her voice was way too powerful and big.
I remember watching an interview with Christina after the show expressing her frustration about having her mic turned down so it wouldn’t overshadow everything while Britney was lip syncing.
You mean the interview in which she was bitter af for not having received any attention? lol People were all about Britney and Madonna, and nobody cared about Christina that day.
@@user-jp6nj9pq5uat least I can leave a comment without feeling the need to trash talk another celebrity for the only sake of my own personal preference…
The only thing it shows is that you are just as pathetic like the media back in day that drove Britney to become what she is today: mentally ill - but congratulations on not learning anything from her downfall…
in the end who has a better life… I don’t think that Britney’s obsessed fans makes any difference besides enabling Britney’s behavior on instagram.
Aguilera didn't add anything to it, Britney and Madonna rocked the stage - no wonder they're so iconic.
Britney is so cringe though… that affected baby voice is painful to listen to. Still, as a person I feel terribly sorry for her.. her family, the men she was involved with, her record company… all took advantage of her. She deserved better
@@graphiquejack in your irrelevant opinion. the truth is no1 gave a shit about christina's participation, and everyone only raved about britney and madonna.
@@zegodfazer I didn't even watch the performance but knew Madonna kissed Britney bec it was all over the news. I didn't realize she kissed Christina too😂
@@graphiquejack That baby voice Britney has on here has made her millions in album sales and rise in popularity.
Christina basically came up to stage and said, "I'll show ya how to sing, bitches!" And she did it. They even had to turn her microphone down so her powerful voice didn't overshadow the other two weak, mediocre voices that were made to please the general public.
