Well she is not hilarious, she is comparing different things. And she should know better. Also the journalist used the word sacrifice not Madonna. Plus with what Madonna is doing (and it’s not easy at all, and Nikki knows about that too), she gives jobs to hundreds if not thousands of people (if you put advertising, media, etc).
@@Amirroir Sorry, but you sounds really angry and ridiculous. Niki was being honest (and hilarious). Considering she has known and worked with Madonna for decades, I'd say she has better insight than you do on this subject.
Never saw or heard of this channel 'til Niki and Donna popped up and now I'm obsessed! Fully subscribed with all notifications on. I love how respectful he is and not "trying to get the dirt" while still getting it lol. I've been a diehard Madonna fan for 39 years and my dream finally came true and just saw her in Boston for her 40th anniversary greatest hits tour. It was amazing BUT the cherry on top for most of us fans would have been these two there 💯❤
@lorettatolnaybolton Oh WOW that's amazing!!! I was there for the second show on the 9th and she was everything I dreamed she would be. All the way from Australia 🇦🇺 that's so cool. My lil sister flew to Australia about a year ago to see the Backstreet Boys live and had VIP tickets to hangout at a bar with Howie and AJ from the group and she'd actually ran into Howie on the street. She surprised me with the Madonna tickets. As for Boston, I'm from New York a 3 and a half hour drive away, I hope no one was rude to you there! Much love from the 🇺🇸 we aren't all bad lol 💯🫶
OMFGGG - WELCOME to this channel!!! I LOVE THIS COMMENT - we post tons of videos all day so thanks for subbing and feel free to check out our back interviews too - we had Carlton Warbourn on from Blond / Girlie - the lead dancer
I love Niki's honesty. Donna seems more reserved and I guess had a longer career with M, so she seems still loyal. Niki is real though, and I love that.
@@behindthevelvetropeThankyou David. Loved this interview and love these women. They and all the other dancers made "Truth Or Dare". They deserved profits from that movie which I'm sure they didn't get!
growing up, I had heard Madonna's music on the radio, but it wasn't until I watched her performance of "Express Yourself" at the 1989 MTV Music Awards, where she was joined by these two lovelies that I started paying attention.
I will never forget going to the Drowned World Tour in DC and arriving at the arena before anyone else, in the morning. I wanted to see them come into the arena, hoping id have the same luck as when i attended wrestling shows and would see the wrestlers come into the building. I was the only one outside and I saw a black Towncar pull up, windows down and it was Niki and Donna. Donna waved to me. These two are spiritually SISTERS. They will never leave each others side. Madonna came in a black Mercedes, flanked by another car. The only reason i knew it was her was because the security guard told me. He let me into the arena and I could hear the sound check for Human Nature. it was surreal. Niki and Donna are legends to me and I will always hold out hope one day to hear Survival live.
Interesting chat, I’ll check out the podcast and listen to more. I did see an interesting documentary once on the Blonde Ambition dancers where they all got together 20 years or so after the tour. Some of them had had a hard time adjusting back to normal life after the tour. It was an interesting look at what it was actually like to be with Madonna and then how to cope when it all ends.
Great interview. Interesting to hear from them both about their time as Madonna's backup singer's/dancers. They should be grateful for working for Madonna as she only employs the best and expects the best from them at all times. It's good to reflect and time to move on to your next job, career path or whatever you may choose to do. Life's too short just live your best life. God Bless 🙏
THE DIFFERENCE between sacrifice and effort. With money you can save effort but you can't avoid sacrificing things. In life you decide what to do and then you must stop doing other things. Madonna, notably, has sacrificed a life of comfort, intimacy, and rest for a life dedicated to her profession. If she has remained current, it is not precisely because she was absent for ten or twenty years from the profession but because she embraced many forms of art and entertainment and because she exercised real activism, on foot in the streets, for equality.
Both of these women have seen some stuff. Both reverent, both very good at what they do. Bless them. Celebs and powerful people don’t necessarily feel the pull to be loyal.. some are, some are decidedly not.
The problem with M is like Sandra Bernhard said, M is not open to those that do not fan her flame.....it's like a bunch of followers & God forbid you're not the sheep. A LONG time ago I blip chatted with Niki I LOVE Her!! Xxo
Un saludo a ambas. Donna es amiga en Facebook; un honor. Ambas debieron subir al escenario durante 'VOGUE' el 29 de enero en el Madison Square Garden. (Viernes, 02 de febrero de 2024, 09:23pm)
Niki Haris sang backup for Madonna from 1987 to 2001, appearing in the Who’s That Girl Tour in 1987, Blond Ambition Tour in 1990, The Girlie Show Tour in 1993, and The Drowned World Tour in 2001, as well as in the documentary Truth or Dare, and music videos “Vogue” and “Music”. Then in 2004, she was inexplicably replaced in Madonna’s Re-Invention Tour. At the time, Haris’ publicist claimed the backup singer had chosen to sit out the tour, because she wanted to “focus on her solo career and family”. But insiders said she wasn’t asked to participate, after allegedly making off-handed comments about Madonna to the press. In 2009, Haris kinda opened up about what happened, telling an interviewer that “Maybe there was some drama”, but that ultimately Madonna is “a gem” and she was grateful for having worked with her. “Of course, my ego was involved: ‘Oh, she don’t want me no more!’ But at the end of the day, she gave me the greatest gift”, Haris said. Unfortunately, these kind words about her former boss still didn’t land her a spot in the 2012 MDNA Tour. The moral of the story: Once you cross over to the bad side of Madonna, there’s no going back.
Big M fan. Big fan of these talented ladies. The 3 were magic together. But like most creative relationships they change over time. Without M N&D would not likely be know around the world. Sacrifice is not about comparing extremes, like super rich to poor. Within the context of the choices a person makes, what are they giving up to achieve a goal? Or to maintain the current status are they sacrificing what the goal can give them? People buy tickets to M. So 4 massages a day, private jet for her immediate team and family sound lush but that is what allows her to be healthy and on stage so fans can see her, and her backup singers/dancers. Other option is to not tour and have a home life where she can stay healthy enough to be there for her family and friends. Sleep in her bed, go to kids football matches. Her sacrifice so we can see her perform is to give up the latter, the more normal homelife. This is also a sacrifice for her kids. So N’s comparison to homeless people is not an option for M. She unknowingly says that M options are all the special care to be able to travel or be homeless. Research is clear on this point, people look at life options based on current situation. M is sacrificing a more normal life within the context of her status due to her hard work.
Fantastic interview. But next time please consider uploading the whole episode or cutting into pieces that don’t overlap. Several clips have the same content at times.
Niki i find annoying. Shes said some nasty stuff about Madonna over the yesrs, as well as randomly tried to take credit for things she clearly has nothing to do with. Love Donna. 😊
Your video titles are kinda click bait-ish and Niki kinda shaded you by saying 'asking the question is partaking in the negativity'. But if u wanna go there...GO THERE....and ask Niki why she was on that tabloid show 'Madonna's Men' or what Donna thinks about Niki's friend Siedah Garett who thinks Donna is well... not so nice.
The camera is in totally the wrong place. Who's responsible for that? It should have been behind the interviewer. Another classic case of " me me me me" X
All day today and the FULL chats are below podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/behind-the-velvet-rope/id1496557812?i=1000642619173 And podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/behind-the-velvet-rope/id1496557812?i=1000643501917
6:44 i suspect that comment is the reason madonna ignored them when they were at the celebration tour watching the show. Trying to say madonna's life is easy.
I also remember she showed the reels on Instagram when she was going through her archive while planning the tour’s costumes and merch… there were many there.
@@louiselouise13 she more or less said Madonna spoke to her a certain way in her 20s and it's not something she was willing to listen to in her 40s. That's why she didn't go into do the extra tour which Donna did.
Madonna did both Niki and Donna wrong by not acknowledging them by bringing them up on stage with her when they both attended her show in New York. Madonna holds grudges and is too self-absorbed to share the limelight. Niki and Donna are so respectful in what they say about Madonna. It's truly sad that Madonna cannot do the same.
Niki is a shady hater. She loves low shading Madonna since back in the day. She doesn’t owe you shit. Donna is humble and sweet. Both have great voices.
Wow - I can only IMAGINE how expensive TOURING is putting the crew up in expensive hotels ..and they can order ROOM SERVICE . To those of you who never travel -- Hotel room service is SUPER expensive !!!!!! 2 eggs and toast = $18.00 . Hamburger & French Fries = $34.00 . Pancakes & 4 strips of bacon = $27.00 . And that's a regular "nice" hotel. Not the Four Seasons in NYC.
I couldn't get through this because of all the talking over each other. Even if you know someone well enough to finish their sentences... it's still respectful to let them finish it themselves.
Ur missing the point . N&D don’t want to go back on tour themselves it’s pretty evident in this interview and others , they are not interested in that lifestyle once you hit a certain age cause they can’t keep up w the demand .
Hmmm but dear Nikki , she worked her but off to be in that income bracket you referred to. You know like when she was couch hopping in New York. You just can’t pit celebrities and the homeless together in such context .
Madonna was already a cultural icon with nothing to prove. On her last tour she was unrecognizable and didn't look well, her leg must have been killing her. There was absolutely no need for that tour. It's sad that's how she will be remembered on stage.
I LOVE MADONNA AND HOW SHE EMPOWERED WOMEN. THAT SAID, IM SO DISAPPOINTED HOW HER CURRENT BEHAVIOR HAS REALLY DAMAGED THE IMAGE SHE SO CAREFULLY CULTIVATED OVER THE YEARS! THE MATERIAL GIRL IS NO MORE!
we almost lost her and she STILL continues to fight and create an amazing tour and this is how you treat her? I swear, the public does NOT deserve her! the constant bullying is insane.
Madonna doesn't owe any of the public anything. She does what she wants and has her priorities and that's okay. I don't know why people have expectations of her and disrespect her so much.
as if niki and donna look that fabulous. but we're not criticising them. people are so focused on superficial things. we almost lost her, have some respect!
@@louiselouise13 Madonna apparently cares so much that she got a Brazilian butt lift at 60. She should be enjoying the fruits of her labor and follow what she preaches by respecting herself. Instead of looking like a dried up drag queen. Donna and Niki look respectable for their age. One can age gracefully. Madonna didn’t need any of that work. I’m thinking she was talked into it by her plastic surgeons to get more and more.
I found Niki's comments regarding "sacrifice" to be ignorant. Yes, Madonna and other superstars have money and it's not as much as "sacrifice" as she sees it. But these stars WORKED for their wealth so the sacrifices were insane before and while they became wealthy. ESPECIALLY Madonna who moved to NYC with $35 in her goddamn pocket. While I understand the point she was trying to make, there's a MUCH bigger picture she either doesn't see, refuses to see, or just neglected to mention.
Why does Nikki sound bitter and shady? And a little jealous? You have homeless people out the kazoo in LA cause it’s turned into a shithole with the gov out there - that’s why! But Niki - come on girl!
Those ladies need to get a life and turn the page about Madonna. It’s over. It’s not the 90’s anymore. They seem to keep living in the past. Do your own things without talk about Madonna every single time.
I'm à huge HUGE Madonna fan, but hey: Niki Harris is absolutely right about her definition of sacrifice 👏
Yes yes
I'm loving this series. Niki is seriously hilarious talking about the real definition of "sacrifice." 😂😂 Looking forward to the next clip!
Yea yes yes and more on the way

@@TribalkingThey don't want to go on tour but if they want to continue profiting from Madonna's songs, I see it as a bit hypocritical!!!
No-nonsense Niki vs. very diplomatic Donna
Oooh
Yes.
Nikki!
Yes
Donna & Nikki ahhh man. I love Madonna but those tours would be nothing without her.
I agree
It was Nikki's honesty that got her sidelined in the end..imho.
The was indeed a big fire at WB and a ton of stuff got burned and lost
Yup
Do they know what caused the fall out with her brother. The one that used to decorate all her homes.
Yes
@@behindthevelvetrope Wow, do they talk about it?
@@samanthab1923 ys but now I cant remember which video ugh
@@behindthevelvetrope I’ll go back & check. Thanks 👋
@@samanthab1923 and I know when Carlton was on we briefly touched upon it also
Just like any job we have ... these are staff just like you and I ....
Yes
I understand her not wanting to have anyone around her and her kids unless you’re paid to be around.
Yes
did I understand well, they put those 2 on a bus in europe? from private planes to buses? Not really fear on them.
Hmm
These 2 are Icons, they made madonna a better singer and dancer, without them she would not be who she is now!!
I agree
🤭 😅😂🤣💀🆘️
I hope they got paid fairly
Same
Madge probably gave blessings on this one...they are under lock and NDA key......dirt aint coming out
Yes
Hmmm but dear Nikki , she worked her but off to be in that income bracket you referred to. You know like when she was couch hopping in New York. You just can’t pit celebrities and the homeless together in such context .
Yes
Ladies do more music together. Your version of 'Rain' is as good if not better. Sorry, not sorry.
It’s great
Niki, snarky nasty .. sour grapes much?
Donna, on the other hand, a class act all the way.
Love Donna
Madonna was the weakest link. I said what I said. Nikki and Donna were superb and they made her sound what it was on stage.
I think Nicki is the reason why there was no Celebration reunion...she seems very judgemental towards Madonna.
Probs
Madonna was already a cultural icon with nothing to prove. On her last tour she was unrecognizable and didn't look well, her leg must have been killing her. There was absolutely no need for that tour. It's sad that's how she will be remembered on stage.
Love her
Just saw the LA show. Fabulous Just like before ❤
Yessssss!!!!!!
I LOVE MADONNA AND HOW SHE EMPOWERED WOMEN. THAT SAID, IM SO DISAPPOINTED HOW HER CURRENT BEHAVIOR HAS REALLY DAMAGED THE IMAGE SHE SO CAREFULLY CULTIVATED OVER THE YEARS! THE MATERIAL GIRL IS NO MORE!
we almost lost her and she STILL continues to fight and create an amazing tour and this is how you treat her? I swear, the public does NOT deserve her! the constant bullying is insane.
Madonna doesn't owe any of the public anything. She does what she wants and has her priorities and that's okay. I don't know why people have expectations of her and disrespect her so much.
yes
@@louiselouise13 yes
@@BluePea88 yes
At birth when she started breathing oxygen 😂😂‼️
Omfgggg
The best Madonna looked as her Music-Something to Remember-Evita- Confessions on the Dance Floor era. After that it all went downhill
as if niki and donna look that fabulous. but we're not criticising them. people are so focused on superficial things. we almost lost her, have some respect!
@@louiselouise13 Madonna apparently cares so much that she got a Brazilian butt lift at 60. She should be enjoying the fruits of her labor and follow what she preaches by respecting herself. Instead of looking like a dried up drag queen. Donna and Niki look respectable for their age. One can age gracefully. Madonna didn’t need any of that work. I’m thinking she was talked into it by her plastic surgeons to get more and more.
It’s also when her voice was the best.
Ooh
Correct
I found Niki's comments regarding "sacrifice" to be ignorant. Yes, Madonna and other superstars have money and it's not as much as "sacrifice" as she sees it. But these stars WORKED for their wealth so the sacrifices were insane before and while they became wealthy. ESPECIALLY Madonna who moved to NYC with $35 in her goddamn pocket. While I understand the point she was trying to make, there's a MUCH bigger picture she either doesn't see, refuses to see, or just neglected to mention.
Yes
The $35 stuff is a myth
yes true and she began turning tricks as soon as she got there. @@Dhhtyu4566
NO.@@Dhhtyu4566
You dam haters and the ones who have turned on her need to ST#UP!!!!!!!! Seriously stop!!!!
Who knows the truth, and who will have the last word? God, and Madonna. And that's probably how she wants it ;)
Yea
"You're letting somebody housing you'??? Wow... LETTING...
Hmm
Why does Nikki sound bitter and shady? And a little jealous? You have homeless people out the kazoo in LA cause it’s turned into a shithole with the gov out there - that’s why!
But Niki - come on girl!
I live in Ca. You're full of %^&$.
Lol
Lol
What is the true intention of this being filmed?
We don’t need one cause we are number one
Those ladies need to get a life and turn the page about Madonna. It’s over. It’s not the 90’s anymore. They seem to keep living in the past. Do your own things without talk about Madonna every single time.
Ok
