This was the first ever MTV awards show. Her manager told her she just destroyed her career and the opposite happened she blew up after this performance. The World was shocked. Looking back this performance is a hot mess but perfect and Iconic at the same time. I am surprised you complimented her vocals here as I feel it is one of her most inexperienced vocals. Still a classic however you look at it. It was a Pop culture moment.
True, but for the most part, her vocals here are almost spot on to the sound of the album. Her live vocals during this era, were not great, as she hadn’t found her true vocal range yet.
*a hot mess in the best way possible
I actually like how raw her vocals sound. It suits the performance and this particular Madonna era
Add in the fact no one had heard this song at this point. Lucky Star was still in the Top Ten, and everyone expected her to perform it. But the Like a Virgin album was finished that summer and she was pretty anxious to get it out there.
@German Morawski Yep. This. ☝🏾
When I tell you that the morning after this - she was ALL anyone was talking about. I was a senior in high school when this happened- and it was SHOCKING in 1984. Of course, we all worshipped her, and our parents thought she was Satan. It was AMAZING!!!!
amen! Absolutely!
I was 16 and watched this with my mom. Man, if i could have licked the screen on our old 19" color tv i would have! My mom yelling at me to calm down and close my mouth while screaming what a complete slut she was. How she'd never make it, no talent slut, unlike Barbara Streisand and other "real" singers. Madonna was pure sex on high heels and that dress, her smile, her high pitched squeals, winks at the camera and rolling on the stage with her bits showing was just INCREDIBLE at that time. So controversial, sexy and here we are 40 years later STILL talking about it. By todays standards, this is nothing special, just a typical tuesday mid-day tik tok post by every teen girl in the country. But, in it's time, it blew up the world, freaked out every parent, the censors, the gov't. An icon and legend was born. Her and Joan Jett were the hottest, sexiest and most badass ladies of the era.
You must be my mom's age. She graduated in 85 .and yeah she said Madonna got more attention and attraction than any woman back then by far and everyone dressing like her etc. I wasn't alive till the 90s but that was her favorite singer in the 80s.
This was the 1st VMAs and was considered totally shocking at the time!
Madonna truly has to be experienced Live. Her whole artistic vision comes alive when it’s live every time.
Greatest live performer in the history of performance.
@@TrevorPalmatiershow and lady Gaga is right after her. The pop queen and Princess
She’s said that she had lost one of her shoes at some point and that’s why she started rolling around on the floor, but I think that can only be half the story. I believe it might have happened in the middle as she first got off the cake, but at the end she was just rolling around for no reason. It’s hilarious. You can tell the cameramen had no idea what she was doing or how to film it. The audience was stunned, and her manager was furious. But the controversy was huge just from her garters and thighs being visible and it made a huge impact in her career. If you look at it now, it’s a hot mess, but that’s what makes it awesome. She got so much more polished as a stage artist and performer... she basically created the blueprint all other stars after her followed.
No, she didn't lose her shoe. You can tell at beginning when she's at the top of the wedding cake and standing up, she tosses off her shoes one at a time. And when she got down to the bottom of the wedding cake and then to the floor that's when she laid down to put on her shoes one at a time. It was all planned and staged. She's a control freak. She wouldn't dare risk tripping and falling off the wedding cake with those high heels on. She fibbed in her interviews with Jay Leno and Howard Stern to pretend that she lost her shoes to tell an interesting and entertaining story. She knew what she was doing.
@@dalee72 Haha! I love Madonna, but I don’t believe her story.
@@guillermovilla9517 I don't either.
@@dalee72 I think the tossing off shoes thing was planned as a coreography sometime at the chorus but she realized at the beggining that one of them wasn't totally secured so she chose to toss both of them off during the first verse and improvised then ahead.
@@Marecitoo Of course it was planned. She's a control freak. She wouldn't dare risk tripping and falling off the wedding cake and hurting herself. She knew what she was doing. I believe she planned it all ahead of time and choreographed it accordingly.
Her own manager told her after the performance that her career was over after what she did on stage... Little did he know LOL
You said it. It’s 1984. She started to push the envelope for what was right or wrong on tv and other media. Everytime a little bit more. She started to rewrite pop music.
She still says she lost a shoe lol. I love her pretence. That night she planned that performance. She probably didn't know if it would make or break her but she meant it. Love her balls to do it. Iconic
The real building up you're looking for is at The Blond Ambition Tour and it will blow your head... but yeah, this was revolutionary for the time
Back in the day that was CONTROVERSIAL as f
Can't wait for you to react to VMAs 2003 anniversary performance of this with Britney and Xtina. The most iconic VMA show
Yeeesss
Loving this deep dive series on madonnas past albums, cant wait for whats coming up, esp confessions, iconic album.😁👍❤
Your Madonna deep dive is fantastic. Please keep going. Her MTV awards performance of Express Yourself is great.
Something that nobody talks about but this early live performance shows so well is that Madonna knows how to find light and project to a camera. She’s has an innate artistry for knowing how to capture a moment, a look, a mood, etc., .
She ended the Reinvention Tour with an incredible montage displayed on the big screens of iconic images of her, photos, album covers, magazine covers, screen grabs from music videos, movies, interviews, live performances, etc.,….all PERFECTLY synched to her performing “Music” on stage.
I saw it -Madison Square Garden, New York, 2004.
My head almost exploded by all these images that I’d come to know so well, many of them without even trying.
Yay! Your doing her live performances!!!
Of course! Wouldn’t be a true deep dive without them!
@@TaylorRobertsOfficial if you ever get a chance here are a few live performances that I think you might enjoy that are some favorites not necessarily to do a video but to enjoy. In no particular order:
Sooner or Later (Live at the Oscars)
Iconic/Bitch I’m Madonna (Rebel Heart Live)
Express Yourself (1990’s? VMA’s Live)
Oh Father/Live To Tell (Blonde Ambition Tour Live)
Future Lovers (Confessions Tour Intro Live)
Nothing Fails (American Life Promo Tour Live)
Vogue (MTV awards)
Gimme All Your Lovin/Express yourself (MDNA Concert)
Holy Water (Rebel Heart Concert)
Take a Bow (Live at some music awards I can’t remember)
and so many others 😂
and Intro to Reinvention Tour, Drowned World Tour, Blonde Ambition Tour, Confessions, MDNA AND JUST ALL OF THE TOUR HAHA
I remember this bring shocking back then. Oh, boy did people not know what was to come. Lol, wait till you react to like a virgin from the Blond Ambition tour.
Great reaction, Taylor, like always! Madonna has always been a live performer rather than an ordinary singer and she's been constantly reinventing herself. As a suggestion, you could also watch the different versions of Like A Virgin over the years. This is probably the song she reinvented the most in live performances, and on each subsequent tour, Like A Virgin is always one of the highlights of the show. You will definitely love the versions of The Girlie Show, Blond Ambition Tour, Confessions Tour and Rebel Heart Tour, each one is completely different from the other. It's great to see how fresh this song can be after almost 40 years.
Don't forget the MDNA Tour - that was incredible, totally different again.
Really loving this deep-dive series 😍
Yes, I was in high school and this was very taboo & so racy for the time.her manager, told her she ruined her career after that performance. But, Madonna knew what she was doing and her career skyrocketed.
She didn’t know what was she was doing though. She got lucky. She lost her shoe and just went with it.
@@itsalexney losing her shoes has got nothing to do with her grinding her veil at the end. Two different moments. The grinding was intended. Her record company wanted her to do Lucky Star, but she chose Like a Virgin and a racy performance on her own expense. Yes, she's been very lucky, but she also knew better about whats she was doing in terms of self-promotion.
@@adrianoluz1108 if you say so. :)
@@itsalexney Adriano is most definitely correct. *oops, lost my shoe* ≠≠≠ *exfoliating the stage with my pelvic bone*
This was the first ever MTV awards. Nobody knew what they were supposed to be and then Madonna gave them a free brand guide. Since this performance the awards went on to be the place and space an artist tried something new, something daring, something risque. FREE Brand Guide from the Blueprint Madonna
I remember this performance. I was like wow, she actually did that on the floor? To think that they said this would destroy her as an artist back then, especially her
Manager. Oh how wrong they were. Lol
This performance is infamous for destroying her career so early on. It's such a shame because she had so much potential. We'll never know what she could have become. Oh well.
😅
Just another one-hit wonder sadly 😿
LOL...She only went on to become the biggest female star of all of all times...and wether people like it or not she really does have a BILLION Dollar voice.
The VMAs wouldn’t be what it is today (or maybe up to 2003) without this performance.
To be honest her live vocals go up and down. She has some really amazing live vocals and some that weren’t so good. She is so human and I looooove it.
I agree. She’s hit or miss. Love her anyway.
"Queen of Motion and Music." That's how the host introduced her. How prophetic.
Can’t wait for you to react to Ray of Light and Confessions on a Dance floor! My two favorite albums from her 😊
She doesn't always sound the same as her recordings. Partly because she often concentrate on other aspects of the performances - choreography, underlying message etc. She can sing of course, but she's a performer and often has something to convey through her performances. Her hardcore fans are fans not necessarily because of her live singing vocal performances. It's more because of her versatility, her strength of conviction, her social justice sense of awareness etc. So there :-)
Taylor, in 1984, her MTV performance was a holy shit moment. NO ONE was doing anything of that nature at that time. She truly embodies the word, PIONEER in music!
These days it might not be that shocking...but in 1984. Showing off your butt in a weddingdress, and on TV...she herself dropped a shoe and goes down on the floor to put in on again, it happens when you see her dissapear for a moment, so it all became a lot of floor rolling. Her manager at the time was furious telling her that she just ruined her career. She never really was afraid of challenging the belief that women were not allowed to own their own sexuality and to combine it with intelligence at the same time. In 1984 - many people people just wanted her labeled as a pop bimbo with a Minne Mouse voice that would be gone soon.
The funny thing about Madonna is that she’s got a lot of humour: in late 80s she actually used a picture of her with Mickey/Minnie Mouse ears on the cover of one of her singles: “Dear Jessie”. Might be a fun nod to what people used to say about her.
I was a kid when I first saw this. My grandma made me turn the TV off I remember! lol For its time, it sure was provocative and shocking. Remember, we now look at this from a lens where we see more body & sexual imagery on the daily and this is now considered 'tame".
She conquered the world!!
Oh. And you love her loweee register. She sings a lot in her lower register for most of her live performances, especially 1986 and on!
I am loving the Madonna deep dive!
I don't remember if it was at the Rosie O'Donnell show, but I remember an interview where she said that the first time she threw herself on the floor during her performance was to put the shoe back on, and you can see it when she'sdoing it, but that since people started cheering and screaming when she threw herself on the floor, she said she did it again to give them more reason to cheer and scream and that's when she started grinding the veil and rolling all over the floor, but that that wasn't how she had rehearsed the performance.
Seriously. Join his Patreon. It’s definitely worth it!!
Iconic. Into the Groove next...
Madonna queen always
This performance was all over the news for so many reasons. It was the first MTV Awards show and she opened it. She was huge pretty quickly, but she would only get even bigger and become a rare iconic and historical superstar. After this performance, Madonna did say decades later that her longtime manager at that time Freddy DeMann and gone off on her, "What the Hell was that!? Your career...IS OVER!" This was in regards to her rolling around on the stage, which she later claimed her shoe had come off and she was trying to grab it from under the dress, so she improvised. Now the performance is iconic and her career obviously wasn't over. And DeMann managed her until he retired in the mid-1990's.
I love your reaction. Yes, subtle that made a big battle worldwide. Who’s that girl? 1984? Holy mackerel gyrating on stage in a wedding gown? Bam! Ew!!!awe! Everybody that night, and the night after MADONNA became the most loved and hated artist of all time. The guys were amazed, the girls were green in envy, and some can’t get over it. Who the hell she thinks she was? Hahahaha legendary, while everyone’s busy knowing her, Madonna was already in the bank, took our money and become the star she’s wanted to be! Fearless! ❤️❤️❤️
👑M. The greatest!
I’m so happy you’re doing this deep dive on Madonna! So excited for you to explore her impressive discography
Everyone said that her career is over after this performance 😂😂
I'm Waiting for Madonna Frozen video reaction
Can't wait for the album reaction of true blue
You're right on. It was like a high wire act.
Love your reaction
React to Lana Del Rey's new album
Funny, compared to what we just saw on the Grammys and this performance such a controversial performance. 😄
It was 1984, she was just getting started in her iconic career. The live audience reaction here was relatively tamed-in reality they were stunned!
They were just hit by a “force of nature”-a performance so provocative and daring by that era’s standard for live female pop music performers on national tv.
Here’s a young, beautiful, talented, mid-western Catholic girl wearing crucifixes and rosary as jewelry, performing a song with a provocative title and lyrics; with her choreography and fashion- oozing with sensuous dare and eroticism. She has charisma and chutzpah. Madonna was named after her beloved late mother who like her dad were devout Catholics of Italian and French Canadian descent. Before this Madonna became famous, the Madonna (archaic Italian ma donna for my lady; ma dame in old French; madam in Middle English) in Catholic and Orthodox iconography/imagery refers to the artistic depictions of the Blessed Virgin Mary usually with the infant Jesus. Many of these early and medieval Madonna paintings and statues in cathedrals and churches are revered and venerated by the faithful. Madonna, throughout her career, will successfully juxtapose religious and sexual imagery and themes in her music, choreography, fashion and concert staging props. The rest of course is history.
More..! 🤩
The Madonna deep dive series is so promising. Can’t wait for all the new videos. This performance gave VMAs instant pop relevance. It was perfect pop simbiosis. Sad that nowadays the channel is not even acknowledging her latest work but what’s MTV anyways...
Omg lived this mate, please do more Madonna live reactions
Waiting for you to get to her Ray Of Light album 🙌🏼🙌🏼 it’s top notch perfection
did you see her last night? 40 years of MTV, always her!
I C O N
SHE REVOLUTION THE INDUSTRY IN 14 SEPTEMBER 1984
i love that you are discovering why Madonna is the legend that she is. Might I suggest Heart. Ann Wilson sings Rock music like the boys, so talented.
You should now jump to the mtv 2003 Madonna Britney spears and Christina Aguilera
Love this..just found u and llĺurrrve Madonna so win win...cant wait to u react to like a virgin on the blonde ambition tour, now that was risque..love that woman
He should react to the MTV MVA's when she performed Vogue, that was a fantastic performance.
This set the standard for the shock value performances vma is known for.
This was the masses first taste of the future of Madonna. Like A Virgin had not even been heard til this moment
"...I think this might have been, just a little taboo...." (7:22) ...Maaan, we lost our COLLECTIVE SH*T!! ...L-O-S-T IT! ...ha-HAA!! ...aired Nov., 1984, in minutes...MINUTES...the WORLD was talkin' 'bout her!! ...The tune ("..Virgin"), shot from 39- 17 on the Pop charts (obviously hitting #1), she was on ALL the News stations, Radio played her tunes from the 1st LP, HOURLY, after that..... (CONT.)
....AND, this was at the SAME TIME, 'Careless Whisper", "Purple Rain", "Born In The USA", "Private Dancer", Duran duran, etc., were ALL in the Top 10, so for her to have THAT much success from a performance, set a NEW template for 'grabbing attention'.... s'was NUTHIN' like it, Taylor.....
You should look into the virgin tour.
She started writhing on the floor because her shoe fell off and she was trying to retrieve it and you can see her put it back on...Turned out to be a move that rocketed her to superstardom...
Ls doy like al video por que Madonna es la temática ❤️
I remember the religious and feminist communities going on despair because of how shocking this presentation was, the vilify her because of that belt she wear too ( written Boy Toy on it ) also remember that back on the day no artist used to make any provocative sexual anything on stage, Madonna single handed changed that herself ( this was the beginning of everything )
Everyone thought she was over that night :D
I'm waiting for Madonna: beautiful and stranger
In 1984, that was a BIG deal. Just that little grind was like the biggest thing ever. Just goes to show you how far we’ve come 😆
You should watch like A Virgin from Blond Ambition Tour❤️
it seems tame compared to today but in 1984, this was a total shocking performance. people only knew her from a couple of videos until this night. she was of course ridiculed by critics and media but the people got it and ate it up. like Steven *** (below} said, she blew up after this and became the most famous person in the world for next several years....its really hard to explain just how big she was back then because there isnt anyone today who has reached that status to compare. she was quoted a couple of years before, on American Bandstand, that she wanted "to rule the world" and that is exactly what she did, while being criticized, snubbed and disrespected. parents hated her and feminist thought that she set back the womens movement back 20 years. This went on for two decades but she hung around for 4 decades proved all of them wrong. She is the only artist, in the rock era to have the most top10 hits......which is still true today
It was her very first live MTV performance, everything went wrong and it catapulted her into stardom.The audience was lame and was shocked about what they just saw. Little did they know, it was only the beginning of the Queen of performance.
i was 10 ..time flys didnt have cable until i was 18 or so
you should do a deep dive of her performance of Sooner or Later at the Oscars.
You should react to her Virgin Tour and the Live Aid performances of Holiday, Into The Groove, Love Makes The World Go Round and doing back up singing and tambourine with the Thompson Twins for the Beatles' song Revolution from this era.
She was told she just killed her career after she got off stage from this performance. 🤪 wow that executive or manager was so so wrong
Anyone that gets to wear a wedding dress, and doesn't roll around on the floor in it to Like a Virgin, is wasting their opportunity.
Omg. When you getting to her new steff
We got a long way to go. Lol
Please react to "Dress You Up" official live video
He's done the Virgin Tour on patreon
Wait until you watch her Vogue performance! 😄
He has to react to Madonna, Britney, Christina and Missy Elliot performance. 😫😫😫😫
Love the glasses cutie
Its so settle now
Back in the day
It was the most controversial thing that ever happen on TV history
React to She's not me, live sticky and sweet tour👌🏻
You have to see this but with Britney And Christina
My cousins said they were watching this w their Catholic parents when it first aired and it was like when a sex scene comes on in the middle of a movie. It was not subtle at all back then. Everything was squeaaaaaaaaky clean G rated back then.
I instantly knew you wouldn’t get it when you watched it. On the surface this looks unpolished and uneventful today. First, the fashion. The Madonna “Wannabe” EXPLODED. People wanted to copy her look. Like Boy George, she used to dress like this before she was a star. This wasn’t manufactured. She blew people’s minds. They had stores that sold only her look. Lace, armbands, scarves, corsets. She grew up as a dancer so wearing leotards wasn’t unusual, but in a wedding dress context, it was very controversial. Second, the name. “Like a Virgin”. Like. This suggested she wasn’t a virgin. The name alone was a top-popper. Even the word virgin has a lasciviousness to it. Just like the outfit, it has the duality of innocence and taboo all in one. You don’t know how to feel. It’s confusing but titillating. This song is so iconic now, it sounds familiar and comfortable. But imagine this song didn’t exist. No one heard it. And hearing it like a virgin (see what I did there?) The beat, the lyrics. It was captivating. Third, her sexuality. Women weren’t allowed to express their sexuality. On the surface, she looks like and was called a whore. But, she’s in control of it. There’s an intelligence to her, and a power. She was doing it because she liked it, not because she wanted attention in the way you think. It’s almost tongue in cheek. Like she’s having fun, not taking herself too seriously, but she knows it throws you off your game. It’s almost like you know I’m hot, but you can’t have me kind of vibes. You can see the audience didn’t explode with appreciation. There was this apprehensive “WTF did I just watch” kind of vibe. You have to see interviews from then to get it in a way. Fourth, she’s stunning and unique. You can’t take your eyes off of her. While many copied her, no one could look like her. Her big expressive eyes. Her hair. Her style. You can see movies from then and in some ways they almost look stuck in time, like it’s a costume, a joke almost. With her, she struck this note of it looking timeless and cool. Almost like you could wear that today. I could see Ariana Grande wearing something similar and it would look cool. She somehow avoided all the comical elements of fashion back then, and defined her own brand of sexy cool. This performance was an explosion of all these things at once. Parents HATED it. Kids were like…wow. This is the future. What it did for women’s expression and rights. I can go on and on. I was 11 when this came out. Man did I get lucky being a part of the MTV generation. It was an explosion of visual entertainment. I used to stay up and watch “Friday Night Videos” on regular TV. Then MTV made a whole channel dedicated to it. Eye candy. Will never forget it.
Can you please react to the Crash test dummies song called The ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead
Naughty girl ! 😮
during this performance she broke a heel. and up rolling around on the stage
This day she got a fight with her manager.. Because he was demanding that Madonna sing Lucky Star.. And she refused.. And she lost for a moment one of her shoes... After that she turns in a very famous artist... Before that performance she was not famous...
React to Like a Virgin Blond Ambition tour
You have no idea what a scandal this was at the time - She was called everything in the naughty book for days and days after. Only made her bigger. it was the first example of “viral” that I was aware of… but of course not her last.
In 1984 just to say the word virgin on TV was going too far. So you can imagine what this performance meant
It’s not completely live. She’s singing over a recorded track. The sound people mix it in and out with her live singing.
Her stiletto broke. That's why she seems not comfortable, but she did her best to go to till end.
You’re correct....this performance for that time was considered shocking. Madonna love to push buttons and push the envelop.
This was very controversial at the time. Seems almost tame now. But back then this was a game changer. Madonna always pushed the envelope.
Please, react to Like a Prayer, Vogue, Take a Bow and Frozen music videos ✌️
