Finally! 💕 you ladies are so awesome thank you. I'm a 32 year old gay guy and this era of madonna, from ray of light, America life to confessions, really got into her 2006 at the age of 14 ) got me through my bullying at school and helped me discover Kabbalah which really changed my life🤍
Aww, you're very sweet - Thank you! ❤️❤️ And thank you for sharing how Madonna's music help you endure such a difficult moment in your life. Sending lots of love and big hugs your way. ❤️
One thing that I love about your Madonna journey is that you don't keep us waiting endless weeks between every video. Love your reactions and I can't wait for the next one❤
It’s really her way of welcoming the new millennium-a new age, where technology will reduce time and space, making life more hectic, frenetic and impersonal . But she reminds us not to forget our humanity and to approach this era with renewed hope and positivity-since our time in this space is short in the totality and eternity of time. ❤ your beautiful reaction.
@briandubois-gilbert8182 Not sure what happened to your comment on our Frozen reaction, but we're not seeing it there. Sometimes RUclips has issues with comments that contain links (And sometimes they reappear after a few days - It's very strange). Sorry that happened!
@@OurAnxiousReactions Yeah..I did include a shareable video link of Frozen in my comment. I’ve been coming back to your Frozen reaction, and I see my comment posted there-but perhaps you’re right about it. Thank you for updating me. I appreciate it.
YASSSS THE CONCERT IS AMAZING !!! I saw her in Las Vegas … just a little fun fact… this tour is like Madonna is going thru time and revisiting each one of her previous concert performances… so keep that in mind… she is time traveling on her life and often performing with herself in several songs… its brilliant !!!! And every tour she sings songs that she hadn’t sung at other shows so that is one major surprise… I hope you take personal videos of you guys at the show, and would love to see your selves react to your own personal experience at the concert…. Make your own video journey at the concert and let’s see your experience
That sounds amazing but also i just want them to enjoy the moment and really take it all in because those 140 mins go by so quickly so its hard if you focus on filming etc as well. I just want them to have an amazing time, whichever way they chose to live it.
@@Marc-zi5cq ABSOLUTELY!! I was trying so hard not to be that person with my phone but I did record some moments of my favorite songs.. quilts as charged but I definitely didn’t stand there the whole time recording… I think they are going to LOVE LOVE this show….
This entire album is so sonically layered and textured, thanks to Madonna's brilliant collaboration with William Orbit's. It's unlike anything she's ever done before. She manages to personalize techo music and popularize it. I'm so excited for the two of you for your upcoming concert!
Such a fan of this era. ROL is all hits, no misses. I consider this album to be some of her best work. I believe her music only gets better, and better. As big a fan as I was of her 80s music, she really continues to shine even brighter in the 90s, and 2000’s. In her 40’s, and 50’s!! Such a great review! Thank you, I really enjoyed your comments. You’re going to love the next single 😉 Can’t wait for that! Have a great day! ♥️
Aww, thank you! ❤️❤️ And we feel the same - As much as we enjoyed her 80s music, we're just blown away by what we've heard in the 90s. Have a wonderful day! ❤️
Girls, how I love seeing your reactions. You know ray of light is a milestone in Madonna's career, today when we listen and watch the videos it might not seem like it, after all it's been 25 years, but at the time, everything was innovative. The sounds, the way of making the videos, I remember that when it came out it literally blew everyone's minds, because it was something innovative
You guys are the only people I watch from youtube, you carrying this whole platform for me! Thank you for another great reaction as always! Much love from Sweden ❤️
I had the hubby watch this with me. He said I hope Madonna knows how these two ladies are doing these thought provoking reactions She should be flattered. I laughed I said I don’t know how much she knows but everyone loves these two because they treat the songs , videos and the artist herself seriously and have great conversations. …. Almost at The Power Of Goodbye!!!!❤️🔥🙌🏻. You didn’t do live frozen. Are you abandoning that concept ?
Aww, you and your hubby are just the sweetest - Thank you! ❤️❤️ And we're going to react to live performances for this album after the concert (interviews as well). ❤️
Along with the Evita Oprah Interview, there is also a ROL Oprah Interview, and she performs two songs live, Ray of Light, being one of her very best. This album and era saw Madonna become very soft, introspective with the birth of her daughter Lourdes as well as studying Kabbalah. Not to mention, critically the Grammy’s finally recognized her artistry, and she won four Grammy’s, where she also performed live, it was a huge era. Fun note: there was such a monetary bounty for any pics of her daughter, Madonna did a cover & interview spread for Vanity Fair, that not only let her control what images of her daughter were out, but just seeing her with her daughter, was probably one of my favorite times for her.😊
@@Christian_Adonis1 Perhaps the ladies will read these comments and be encouraged to review that performance on Oprah Winfrey show. 😉 😆 Remembering how Madonna through shade at Oprah Winfrey in her Truth or Dare doc 🤔
Can't wait to see those Oprah interviews and performances. ❤️❤️ And what a brilliant way to handle the media frenzy around her daughter - Very smart move!
@@OurAnxiousReactions -I promise, you’ll absolutely love both Interviews,as Madonna never sits down for longer than 12min usually and with Oprah, both times she was the only guest I believe.Side note: I’ve been re-watching all your reactions ( third time) to enjoy your reactions as well as get your numbers up. Lol
Love all your Madonna reactions! The follow up video is Drowned World/Substitute For Love, but was never released in America. In America we got The Power Of Goodbye.
The first time I heard this after buying the CD I was hooked on this track. I couldn’t wait for her to release as a single (and I think Madonna couldn’t wait either) . The video just accentuated an already infectious song that I never get tired of hearing and it often gets me through cardio at the gym 😂. Also I LOVE her look in the video, possibly my favorite of all her looks - just so simple but still ultra glam. If you look at stills taken during filming her eye makeup is literally sun kissed . Just stunning. That was a really great point about certain figures out of time in the video 👏👏
Hi, thank you for a fantastic reaction! 💯 I still strongly recommend that you ladies get to see all five videos before the tour. You might also want the lyrics up when watching Drowned World/Substitute forr Love. I really think you will like the next reaction. Thanks also for continuing to react to Madonna. You are both appreciated by the fanbase. 💥 💥
Frozen and Ray of light...2 different songs from one album, 2 different music styles, 2 different Madonna. But this song for me is something more... this is where my "Madonna Journey" has began. In 1998 I was only 8 and my parents played this song in their car, and I asked them to play it more and more, I liked it very much! So, now I`m 33 and Madonna is still in my daily playlist and this song every time reminds me about my wonderful parents. Ladies, You are gorgeous! Look forward for your new reactions:) P.S. Please react to Ray of light (Live at Oprah show), it`s something very special!
Aww, you're the sweetest - Thank you so much! ❤️❤️ And thank you for sharing the story of hearing this song for the first with your parents - What a beautiful memory. ❤️
What. A. BANGER. I remember the first time I heard this song (and every time, really) my brain just lit up. Musical euphoria! I truly believe William Orbit was her greatest collaboration with a producer, although Stuart Price is up there too from the Confessions on a Dancefloor era. I find the last two lines so satisfying, where she says, "Quicker than a ray of light, she's flying" and then switches it to "Quicker than a ray of light, I'm flying" for the last line. Perfection! Also, this song is SO fun to play on the piano!!
Hi girls, how are you? How is the kitten? The first time I saw this video clip was in Orlando, FL, on a 15 year trip, I was in an electronics department store in June 98 (Warner Store maybe), on a giant screen. I was baffled by the technology at the time. Like a Prayer, the album, hadn't even been released in 1988, less than 10 years separate these two albums and it's impossible to relate the two. This song was a summer hit, talking about how our lives pass in the blink of an eye. Madonna with huge hair, in the Kabalah vibe that she had, in an incredible body after her first motherhood. It was a golden age. Glad you're enjoying it. Ah, this album has the best single remixes and they are already available on Spotify and other platforms. Lastly: Madonna confirmed her coming to my homeland, Brazil, in May, at an open show in Copacabana. It's going to be monstrously big.
Aww, thank you for asking. ❤️❤️ The kitty is doing better. She's taking a medication that seems to help with her symptoms, so we're very happy about that. We're still waiting for some test results to know what the specific issue is. So exciting that Madonna is going to Brazil in May!!! 🎉 Are you planing to go? Sending lots of love to you! ❤️
Good thing, she's going to be fine. As for the show, I don't think I will go, besides being far away (I live in the south of Brazil), there are estimated to be more than a million people there...a lot of people, very dangerous. The show will be broadcast on TV.@@OurAnxiousReactions
I love watching how you both enjoying this journey along Madonna´s discography. I highly recomend to watch "Substitute for Love", which is Madonna´s next video during the Ray of Light era. This masterpiece is by far and large her most touching work ever; an ODE to her doughter, Lourdes. Cheers from Argentina!
Love this!! Such an uplifting feel good song❤❤❤ I can’t wait for you both to revisit Madonna’s albums in their entirety and get to relive my love for them through you both! I bet you’re both super excited for the show now!! You’re going to LOVE IT!! Brenda, pack the tissues my lovely 🫶🏻
Yes, it's safe to say we're beyond excited for the show at this point - Can't wait! ❤️❤️ And we're definitely packing the tissues... 😉 Sending lots of love to you! ❤️
That's almsot a rave song! Sooo fun and uptempo. Also unusual song for her after her more mid tempo Bedtime stories album, her Something To Remember ballad collection and then the Evita soundtrack. She started this Ray Of Light era with the moody, more midtempo Frozen but this song here has got to be one of her most uptempo, fun songs ever. She's got plenty of dance songs but this one goes particularly hard haha And she still proves dancemusic can have a deep meaning, sophistication and grown up approach. I love Madonna for doing popmusic for grown ups instead of just teenagers, so we will never grow out of her. I think it'S a very unique sounding song, there was nothing like this on the radio or MTV at the time, thats for sure. Video won 6 MTV Video Music Awards in 1998 and song at the time became the highest entry on the singles charts in the US going straight into the top 5 first week. I'm excited for you to hear the other three singles, they are all very unique and different but all equally amazing.
Back in 1997 Cyndi Lauper and Kylie Minogue released their “techno” albums, Sisters of Avalon and Impossible Princess respectively. But these didn’t get much attention. When Madonna released Ray of Light everyone was afraid that electronic music wouldn’t be able to convey emotion. Madonna said she wanted to prove that it not only can, but it can portray many different ones. This whole album is a journey worth listening to with headphones. The song Ray of Light takes parts from another song called Sepheryn, by Curtis & Maldoon. William Orbit played I don’t know how many different guitars in this one. So when Madonna brought it to the stage it would be guitar madness! Definitely worth watching either the Oprah live version, or the VMA, or Live 8! By the way, this was her look for the beginning of ROL era. In frozen she’s wearing a wig, but for most of the promo tour she would show this look.
Thank you for sharing that background info with us! ❤️❤️ Well, she certainly proved that electronic music could convey emotion (and looked absolutely beautiful doing it!). ❤️
Enjoy the Celebration tour! The show is amazing especially the beginning! I am so jeaulous although i saw the show 4 times in Antwerp and in Amsterdam The Netherlands. Love your reactions you both seem to be so kind!
Thank you ladies. Another great reaction to a great song! This song and video was so fresh, new and innovative when it was released. The video was directed by Jonas Akerlund who Madonna goes on the work with numerous times going forward - notably directing 'Im going to tell you a secret' her documentary for the Reinvention tour - showing a very different Madonna from Truth or Dare! lol Can't wait for you to see 'Celebration' to see what you both think. I loved it. ❤❤
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️ That documentary for the Reinvention Tour sounds like something we need to see. And we can't wait to share our Celebration experience - It's been so wonderful to hear everyone describe how much they enjoyed it. ❤️
One of my favorite Madonna songs. Danced my life away to this song in the gay cubs here in New England. Love that the producer/director sped everything up to fit the song. Makes sense!!
So looking forward to your Celebration tour reaction. There is nothing like the real thing. Have a wonderful experience and please let us know all about it. Cheers!
An accompanying music video for "Ray of Light" was directed by Jonas Åkerlund and shows scenes from different cities around the world, with Madonna singing the song in front of them. The video was critically acclaimed, receiving the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video, as well as winning five awards at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards. Later, Stefano Salvati accused her of plagiarizing the concept of a music video he directed for Biagio Antonacci in 1994. -wikipedia…
Madonna Ray of light era she does in her videos the 5 elements of Ayurveda frozen (air) Ray of light (earth) drowned world (space)the power of good bye (water) and nothing really matters (fire).
Ladies, the reason this song will always have a special place in my heart is the first time I heard this song I was on vacation in Key West! My second relationship had just ended and I went to the Keys on vacation by myself, I had been there previously with my ex! I’m really surprised I actually went there by myself however I had the best time (vacation) of my life, I must have met a dozen Queens from all over the Country and every night we would go out partying and dancing and this song was on repeat, love it! This may sound silly but this is why I’ll always remember this song! Thanks for the reaction and for reading my comments ❤
Aww, thank you! ❤️❤️ And thank you for sharing your story with us. Love that you put yourself out there and went on the trip by yourself - What an inspiration! ❤️
You have a lot to get thru before next week ❤. I hope you get to the live concerts. She did this song live on Oprah which was fun! Power of Goodbye and Substitute for Love next hopefully. Thank you both for your thoughtful comments and critiques.
I love that you called it a "bop"! Girl, I hear ya. All these years later, it still sounds fresh and exciting. What an AMAZING album and era this is for her. You have to watch the live performances of this song from Oprah, and the VMA's. But also, her "Little Star" performance that was from the Oprah interview as well. It's not an official release, but a great and sweet deep cut from the album!
I love your reactions so much! Yasss! Such a great era of hers. I’m so excited for you two. I had a blast when I saw Madonna in January. It’s such a journey. Yassss!!!! I can’t wait to hear about it! ❤️❤️
Great reaction ladies! ROL is def one of her best albums. All the songs are great. Swim, Candy Perfume Girl, Skin, Nothing Really Matters, Shanti / Ashangi some of my favs. Can’t wait for the Nothing really matters reaction ;)
Since you’re going to her concert next week you might wanna react to Nothing Really Matters also from the Ray of Light album. It’s such an important piece of the show.
Well, it's not a whole life flashing, it`s only one day! For me represented the 90s, a decade where people started to speed up, they were always busy, in a hurry, rushing up and down, thousand things to do and everything quickly... And nowadays maybe the video it doesn't look anything special, but the timelapse, well used to show an "in-a-hurry-society", back then was something new! and Madonna was the second one to use it in an artistic way after Coppola in one of his films... I hope you do a personal review from your experience in the Celebration Tour..I saw it last november and I really like it a lot! and It could be nice if you react before to "nothing really matters" because it's the opening and I think it's a good choice to start the concert for what the song says...
G'day girls. i know you probably cant react to the whole album on here without censorship. But buy or stream the album. This must be listened to continuously from beginning to end. its a "journey". songs meld and intertwine with each other without a break between trax. maybe listen then give a review. But if you want to know why we love this album so much, its because of the way it starts, then doesn't stop. It's a continual mix. Edit. dont stream or the trax will be cut, do yourselves a favor and buy the CD.
Perhaps the song is about finding home in your own body and mind , and realising you are a passenger in this reality, until you move on to becoming a new passenger on another trip , maybe we are all just travelling tourists in the universe. Just an observation ❤😊
Very good reaction, after frozen.... Please, react the album.... you can't miss sky fits heaven, skin. Sky fits heaven is my favorite of all her career. Thank you for your smiles. With kindness. From France
I remember this time when the hair look was dictated by Madonna or Sarah Jessica Parker ... the curls. The song really never liked so much. The three videos ahead are so much juicy than this. U go girls 🧏🏻♂️
You HAVE TO react to her fully live performance of Ray of light on Oprah. The energy of that room was electric!!!! One of her best live vocals!!!!
Agree! It`s one of the best Madonna`s live vocal performances ever!
Ladies, seriously a must-watch!
They will never forget it
Finally! 💕 you ladies are so awesome thank you. I'm a 32 year old gay guy and this era of madonna, from ray of light, America life to confessions, really got into her 2006 at the age of 14 ) got me through my bullying at school and helped me discover Kabbalah which really changed my life🤍

Excellent I am a gay 52 Yr old and Madonna and Kylie have been by my side for almost 35 40 yrs . Girls cannot wait to see u react to the tour
One thing that I love about your Madonna journey is that you don't keep us waiting endless weeks between every video. Love your reactions and I can't wait for the next one❤
Aww, you're very kind - Thank you! ❤️❤️
"And I feel..." gives me goosebumps. What a vocal!
It’s really her way of welcoming the new millennium-a new age, where technology will reduce time and space, making life more hectic, frenetic and impersonal . But she reminds us not to forget our humanity and to approach this era with renewed hope and positivity-since our time in this space is short in the totality and eternity of time. ❤ your beautiful reaction.
Perfectly said! I feel the same about ray of light album!
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
And thank you for that beautiful summation. ❤️

Such a fan of this era. ROL is all hits, no misses. I consider this album to be some of her best work.
I believe her music only gets better, and better. As big a fan as I was of her 80s music, she really continues to shine even brighter in the 90s, and 2000’s.
In her 40’s, and 50’s!!
Such a great review! Thank you, I really enjoyed your comments.

And we feel the same - As much as we enjoyed her 80s music, we're just blown away by what we've heard in the 90s.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the Oprah performance and interview too. She turned a corner in her private life and seemed so much more at peace with herself.
Such a great song. Won her the Grammy
You two are the best Madonna reviewers on YT right now🙌🏻
Ray Of Light is my all time favorite Madonna song 🥰
Totally agree!!
Aww, you're very sweet - Thank you! ❤️❤️

She started this Ray Of Light era with the moody, more midtempo Frozen but this song here has got to be one of her most uptempo, fun songs ever. She's got plenty of dance songs but this one goes particularly hard haha And she still proves dancemusic can have a deep meaning, sophistication and grown up approach. I love Madonna for doing popmusic for grown ups instead of just teenagers, so we will never grow out of her. I think it'S a very unique sounding song, there was nothing like this on the radio or MTV at the time, thats for sure. Video won 6 MTV Video Music Awards in 1998 and song at the time became the highest entry on the singles charts in the US going straight into the top 5 first week.
I'm excited for you to hear the other three singles, they are all very unique and different but all equally amazing.
Love the way you described Madonna as doing pop music for grownups instead of teenagers (and how we will never grow out of her). ❤️❤️
Ray of light performance from the live 8 concert was out of this world 🌍
little star was made for lourdes her daughter it’s a great song you should react too. she sang it on oprah!
I love the sweater 💕❤🧡
Aww, thank you! ❤️❤️
You ladies are fabulous ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ray of light is great,the video has so much going on in a fast speed ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️and i feeeeeel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aww, you're so kind - Thank you! ❤️❤️
Back in 1997 Cyndi Lauper and Kylie Minogue released their “techno” albums, Sisters of Avalon and Impossible Princess respectively. But these didn’t get much attention. When Madonna released Ray of Light everyone was afraid that electronic music wouldn’t be able to convey emotion. Madonna said she wanted to prove that it not only can, but it can portray many different ones. This whole album is a journey worth listening to with headphones. The song Ray of Light takes parts from another song called Sepheryn, by Curtis & Maldoon. William Orbit played I don’t know how many different guitars in this one. So when Madonna brought it to the stage it would be guitar madness! Definitely worth watching either the Oprah live version, or the VMA, or Live 8! By the way, this was her look for the beginning of ROL era. In frozen she’s wearing a wig, but for most of the promo tour she would show this look.
Thank you for sharing that background info with us! ❤️❤️ Well, she certainly proved that electronic music could convey emotion (and looked absolutely beautiful doing it!). ❤️
I always love the end of the video where her head cracks the camera screen
Ray of light performance form Oprah show was amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
I hope you are able to do ALL 5 singles from Ray of Light ahead of your concert. It's a MUST!!! Love love your reactions!
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️
Thank you for pointing out the people who stare at the camera and move slowly. I didn't realize more than one person did it.
❤️❤️
please watch her oprah live performance, one of her greatest performance so far! everyone went crazy as oprah herself!
Enjoy the Celebration tour! The show is amazing especially the beginning! I am so jeaulous although i saw the show 4 times in Antwerp and in Amsterdam The Netherlands. Love your reactions you both seem to be so kind!
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️
And 4 times!! That's amazing.
I've never seen your channel before but you remind me of the 2 ladies in the NPR skits on Saturday Night Live in the 90s.
Thank you ladies. Another great reaction to a great song! This song and video was so fresh, new and innovative when it was released. The video was directed by Jonas Akerlund who Madonna goes on the work with numerous times going forward - notably directing 'Im going to tell you a secret' her documentary for the Reinvention tour - showing a very different Madonna from Truth or Dare! lol
Can't wait for you to see 'Celebration' to see what you both think. I loved it. ❤❤
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
That documentary for the Reinvention Tour sounds like something we need to see.
And we can't wait to share our Celebration experience - It's been so wonderful to hear everyone describe how much they enjoyed it. ❤️
I was like 1 when I first heard this it was the first song I heard from her
One of my favorite Madonna songs. Danced my life away to this song in the gay cubs here in New England. Love that the producer/director sped everything up to fit the song. Makes sense!!
❤️❤️
So looking forward to your Celebration tour reaction. There is nothing like the real thing. Have a wonderful experience and please let us know all about it. Cheers!
Thank you so much - We can't wait to share it with all of you! ❤️❤️
An accompanying music video for "Ray of Light" was directed by Jonas Åkerlund and shows scenes from different cities around the world, with Madonna singing the song in front of them. The video was critically acclaimed, receiving the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video, as well as winning five awards at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards. Later, Stefano Salvati accused her of plagiarizing the concept of a music video he directed for Biagio Antonacci in 1994. -wikipedia…
Thank you for sharing that with us! ❤️❤️
Madonna Ray of light era she does in her videos the 5 elements of Ayurveda frozen (air) Ray of light (earth) drowned world (space)the power of good bye (water) and nothing really matters (fire).
Ladies, the reason this song will always have a special place in my heart is the first time I heard this song I was on vacation in Key West! My second relationship had just ended and I went to the Keys on vacation by myself, I had been there previously with my ex! I’m really surprised I actually went there by myself however I had the best time (vacation) of my life, I must have met a dozen Queens from all over the Country and every night we would go out partying and dancing and this song was on repeat, love it! This may sound silly but this is why I’ll always remember this song!
Thanks for the reaction and for reading my comments ❤
Aww, thank you! ❤️❤️
And thank you for sharing your story with us. Love that you put yourself out there and went on the trip by yourself - What an inspiration! ❤️
Love you guys and your reactions ❤❤
Aww, you're so kind - Thank you! ❤️❤️ Sending lots of love your way. ❤️
Love watching you both explore the Madonna journey.... this song is a highlight at the CelebrationTour.
Thank you! ❤️❤️ We're grateful you're on the journey with us. ❤️
❤❤
❤️❤️
You have a lot to get thru before next week ❤. I hope you get to the live concerts. She did this song live on Oprah which was fun! Power of Goodbye and Substitute for Love next hopefully. Thank you both for your thoughtful comments and critiques.
Thank you! ❤️❤️
We're planning to do our reactions to the live performances of these songs (and interviews) after the concert. ❤️
Ray of light n frozen nothing on the radio has ever sounded like either one of them. That's why she is unmatched and in a league all her own.
This album made me her stan. Please don't forget to react to Power of Goodbye, Nothing Really Matters and Drowned World/Substitute for Love
I can't wait til u see celebration!
Neither can we! ❤️❤️
I love that you called it a "bop"! Girl, I hear ya. All these years later, it still sounds fresh and exciting. What an AMAZING album and era this is for her. You have to watch the live performances of this song from Oprah, and the VMA's. But also, her "Little Star" performance that was from the Oprah interview as well. It's not an official release, but a great and sweet deep cut from the album!
Definitely a bop in any era! ❤️❤️
The Oprah interview sounds great - Looking forward to reacting to that one. ❤️
Fantastic, ladies!!! Please tell us about the concert next week… I’m sure that it Will be unforgetable!!!❤❤
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️
And we will definitely share our experience at the concert here! ❤️
You will love this performance at the concert!!! Thats all I’m saying!!!🎉
Yay! ❤️❤️
nice reaction, im waiting for beautiful stranger and the power of goodbye videos !bye
Thank you! ❤️❤️
I love your reactions so much! Yasss! Such a great era of hers. I’m so excited for you two. I had a blast when I saw Madonna in January. It’s such a journey. Yassss!!!! I can’t wait to hear about it! ❤️❤️
Aww, you're very sweet - Thank you! ❤️❤️
We can't believe it's happening next week - Yay!
@@OurAnxiousReactions You’re very welcome! I’m so happy for you! Yay!!!! Sending much love to you! Get your dancing shoes ready! ❤️❤️
Lots of love to you! ❤️❤️
@@OurAnxiousReactions Awww! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
Great reaction ladies! ROL is def one of her best albums. All the songs are great. Swim, Candy Perfume Girl, Skin, Nothing Really Matters, Shanti / Ashangi some of my favs. Can’t wait for the Nothing really matters reaction ;)
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️ Looking forward to hearing the others on this album!
Great job as always! I know you guys are going in order but I hope you get to watch Nothing Really Matters before the concert.
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
We're trying to get to them all before the show - Wish us luck! ❤️
Yes. ❤❤❤
❤️❤️
Since you’re going to her concert next week you might wanna react to Nothing Really Matters also from the Ray of Light album. It’s such an important piece of the show.
❤️❤️
I love this song❤
Great reaction again Ladies. See told you in each of her music videos off Ray Of Light Madonna has a different look.
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
And you were definitely correct! ❤️
@@OurAnxiousReactions then again she been a chameleon most of her career.
Oh just wait ladies! The 3 videos to come will impact you 2. I know you will love them! Can’t wait!!!!
Looking forward to it! ❤️❤️
She does something really cool on this song at her concert.
Can't wait to see it! ❤️❤️
You should react to the performance of this song at the Oprah show
Well, it's not a whole life flashing, it`s only one day! For me represented the 90s, a decade where people started to speed up, they were always busy, in a hurry, rushing up and down, thousand things to do and everything quickly...
And nowadays maybe the video it doesn't look anything special, but the timelapse, well used to show an "in-a-hurry-society", back then was something new! and Madonna was the second one to use it in an artistic way after Coppola in one of his films...
I hope you do a personal review from your experience in the Celebration Tour..I saw it last november and I really like it a lot! and It could be nice if you react before to "nothing really matters" because it's the opening and I think it's a good choice to start the concert for what the song says...
We're planning to do a concert review (with some video of our experience). We can't wait! ❤️❤️
G'day girls. i know you probably cant react to the whole album on here without censorship. But buy or stream the album. This must be listened to continuously from beginning to end. its a "journey". songs meld and intertwine with each other without a break between trax. maybe listen then give a review. But if you want to know why we love this album so much, its because of the way it starts, then doesn't stop. It's a continual mix. Edit. dont stream or the trax will be cut, do yourselves a favor and buy the CD.
That's a great idea - Thank you for the suggestion! ❤️❤️
Hello, both for Frozen and for Ray of Light, given the success, video remixes have been made that include cut schene of the videos
Thank you for telling us about those! ❤️❤️
Please react to her Oprah performance of this song!! It’s so good
Ladies! Wait until you hear the more personal tracks like “substitute for love and Mer girl”! Are you going to the show in Tampa?
Can't wait to hear them! ❤️❤️
We're going to the show in Atlanta. ❤️
It's a shame she's barely recognizable today.
Perhaps the song is about finding home in your own body and mind , and realising you are a passenger in this reality, until you move on to becoming a new passenger on another trip , maybe we are all just travelling tourists in the universe. Just an observation ❤😊
❤️❤️
P.S IM ANXIOUSLY WAITING FOR YOUR REACTION TO MADONNA BILLBOARD WOMEN OF THE YEAR SPEECH !,!!!… grab your tissue box
I prefer her ballads but this song is fire! xx
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️
Very good reaction, after frozen....
Please, react the album.... you can't miss sky fits heaven, skin. Sky fits heaven is my favorite of all her career.
Thank you for your smiles. With kindness. From France
Aww, thank you! ❤️❤️ Sending lots of love your way. ❤️
😍
You need to listen to NOTHING REALLY MATTERS from this album as she opens the Celebration Tour Show with it!
This video is way cool but it should have had an Epilepsy warning.
She sings this LIVE on Oprah. ❤
Good point! ❤️❤️
When she was still good.
I remember this time when the hair look was dictated by Madonna or Sarah Jessica Parker ... the curls. The song really never liked so much. The three videos ahead are so much juicy than this. U go girls 🧏🏻♂️
Can't wait to see what's next! ❤️❤️
Do what it feels like for a girl !!
Reaction andrea Bocelli Brucia La Terra please
The song is great. But the video is completely copied from Godfrey Reggio's 1982 experimental film "Koyaanisqatsi".
First :)
❤️❤️
Pre 9/11 world
Honestly, I never really loved this single.
Energetic song❣️
I enjoy your videos . I think skin is the best song of the album .
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
