This deserved to be a much bigger chart hit than it was in the UK. She received no UK airplay and people didn't even now she had a new single out. Since she started releasing music through Interscope her chart positions/sales figures have awful to non existent. An Interscope rep actually said about the "Madame X" album that it's release was to quote, not a priority for them. I hope the rumours are true and that she has indeed gone back to Warner's who looked after her since the start of her career. We need people who will promote the hell out of whatever comes next. I hate to also jump in the bandwagon but, she needs to let Guy Oseary move on to other things and get a Manager who is fired up, excited by her and had new ideas to strengthen her career. It anoys me that a living legend is being over looked and is being made to look like a joke. This track, Jesus a Diplo produced banger should never have been off radio stations around the world. OK my rant is over. Love to all of you still in lockdown ❤️.
I had no idea a rep said that? On the MLVC podcast it was said by a guest that after the first three singles, Madonna had to fund the rest of the project. Losers
So sad this didn’t hit #1, and shocked no awards for this or Ghosttown, pitiful. The whole album was robbed of Grammy’s ( again) we celebrate Taylor Swifts ridiculous, poor me, my boyfriend left me shit.
It should have been a bigger hit but I have to say this is one that has aged well. There was a lot of controversy (of course, it’s Madonna right?) at the time because the album was leaked ahead of its release. But this is such an awesome track it deserved more recognition.
it's a pity that we live in a society that ageist that it wasn't even played on the radio, just bc of her age ; the entire rebel heart album was a masterpiece
Such an underrated song, it deserved to be a massive hit. I absolutely love it (Album version of course) but there are also so many great demos for it.
I find it interesting that she used the Matador theme when her two marriages failed, only this time SHE is the matador and comes out triumphant over the bull. The demo is good, but the version on the album is my favorite.
I slept on this video and song when it came out. People criticised this album at the time for sounding too much of the time it was made. But now looking back, most of the songs have aged really well and are really shining through. So many are really coming back to this album and rightfully so.
The 2nd version is one of many that were recorded and made. They're were many more up to date EDM versions. In fact she played a music journalist for Mojo magazine both of these versions and asked him which one he preferred and said the first because it sounded like an old school dance song from the late 80s or early 90s she gave him a huge hug and kiss and that that was her favourite version as well. She reportedly told Diplo that she wanted the track to sound like it was made in New York in 1989. ❤️👋👌😎😛
The whole album was underrated, even though she performed this at the Grammys and the controversy when she fell at the Brit Awards. The only song that got some attention was B**ch I'm Madonna, the RUclips video has like 8 times more views than Living For Love.
I love the second version. This whole album was amazing. Madonna is sadly overlooked now that she’s “of a certain age” . She isn’t getting the airplay her efforts deserve because radio believes that a woman her age isn’t “popular” enough now. Ageism and sexism sucks.
G'day it's Steven from down under again I'm sure many would agree, this album & this song too is seriously underrated, a thoroughly enjoyable album overall. My memory of this album is breakdown of my long marriage and also taking my children to watch the concert here in Sydney. All hail the Queen of Pop!
The theme of the bull fighter resonates with her. in "Take A Bow" she is the object of desire, the prize for the matador who toys with her emotions. Then, "You'll See" she recovers her worth and resilience and moves on from her one sided relationship, then in "Living for Love" she BECOMES the Matador!!! I read somewhere Madonna was inspired by artist Francisco de Goya's Tauromaquia printmaking series of bullfight scenes - amazing art works!
Got such limited air play because of her age, yet the song got brilliant reviews. Deserved to be a much bigger hit, so sad, the radios need to stop acting so ageist and just let people enjoy the music.
Unfortunately for the Queen, industry ageism took over long ago for her! They don't even give her a radio play & chance to chart! It all started in the mid to late 90's. Great reaction as always Dereck!
I know Radio 1 said it was not due to her age but because of the style of music of the track which is of course total bull. The track is better and more contemporary than a lot of the shit they played then and now. Come on it is one of the best tracks that Diplo had been involved in, for any artist. ❤️
I like the additional lyrics from the demo at the end it would have worked in the original . Madonna explained that when making Rebel Heart album she wanted to create songs with melodies that would stand up on there own without any production. I think this is why it is difficult to get a consensus on demo vs. album version on many of these songs. Everyone has preferences. And as you said, when a song is good, it is just good.
YOU LOST YOUR PANTS??????????????? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FINALLY ;GRAT MADONNA GREAT DERECK REACTION;I TOLD YOU NOW REBEL HEART IS ON THE OTHER SIDE:LOVE YOU DUDE
Take a bow was 7 weeks number 1 you see number 8 hot 100 living for love should been a huge hot 100 hit rebel heart leaks hurt her so much this was a great album
I love the demo. It's true it's very nineties but truly inspired by Kiesza's song hideaway. Alicia Keys brings the nineties back with that piano but the dance beats come from that Kiesza sound. And by the way she said she was very inspired by Madonna ruclips.net/video/Vnoz5uBEWOA/видео.html
Lose your pants and do the next M reaction in your boxers! LOL - the leak of the album killed the entire release plan - but there are so many great songs on Rebel Heart. Ageist Radio also ruined things for her - several songs deserved to be #1 - this one, Ghosttown, etc.
I'm gonna keep requesting it until Dereck Reacts does it, lol. Please react to the demo version vs the album version of Madonna's Beautiful Scars song from her Rebel Heart album! ruclips.net/video/OO5_BP1RqvM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/pLop5mX65C0/видео.html
THE QUEEN IS UNIQUE LOVE HER LOVE THE SONG;LOVE SHE NE NEVER GIVES UP AY A HER AGE SHE IS STUNNING ON THIS VIDEO AND I?M SORRY THAT YOU CAN'T LISTEN TO RE NUMER OF REMIXES CAME out ;ONE BETTER THAN ANOTHER :::::LOSE YOUR PANTS BUT REACST SO BEAUTIFULLY LIKE ALWAYS:
If you react to madame x album especially vidéos meduilln with muluma is great pairing so many madonna looks from eras god control disco/gun control deep lyrics she looks amazing. Swae Lee crave her vocals are so beuatiful and paires with his . Butera about Black slavery with women tribe in video . Dark ballet /beuatiful game it talks about her whole career hiv postive persons covid-19 its a masterpiece director cut she looks angelic please derek in future react to madame x faz gustao with anitta pure jam!!!!
Would love to see you react to Madonna’s Queen, her unreleased track from Rebel Heart.... such an underrated gem ruclips.net/video/X1g9b9j_PqA/видео.html
Should never have been the first track to this album, not a bad tune, just does not represent the rest of the album and it's vibe Should have been ghost down double a side with devils pray as a double whammy first single
I gave a like for your enthusiasm. But I don’t like the song, it’s primitive sounding and its fancy production doesn’t save the weak tune. It is wrong for a single let alone a kickoff single. It is her worst one since “4 minutes to save the world”... even “Gimme all your love” wasn’t that bad (though far from amazing) It is one of the reasons that I did not purchase her Rebel Heart album. “Medellin” from the latest Madame X album is her best kick-off single in many many years!

It was such a strong first single and deserved to chart higher but radios won't play her music since she's "too old" for them.
Seems many artists end up being pushed back after 40. Madonna was one of the few pop artists, who achieved success past that age.
Awesome track! This single should have been a #1 hit 😞
Agree
So sad this didn’t hit #1, and shocked no awards for this or Ghosttown, pitiful. The whole album was robbed of Grammy’s ( again) we celebrate Taylor Swifts ridiculous, poor me, my boyfriend left me shit.
@@kristianberg4264 you have completely missed it when you included taylor in what you are saying. You clearly speak from ignorance.
Ageist approach especially against women is her new challenge to overcome, we all know her: she is gonna carry on
she's been complaining about being subjected to ageism since age of 34 in 1992 - the Jonathan Ross Erotica interview
This whole album was underrated, just like “American Life” & “Erotica”
It should have been a bigger hit but I have to say this is one that has aged well. There was a lot of controversy (of course, it’s Madonna right?) at the time because the album was leaked ahead of its release. But this is such an awesome track it deserved more recognition.
it's a pity that we live in a society that ageist that it wasn't even played on the radio, just bc of her age ; the entire rebel heart album was a masterpiece
Such an underrated song, it deserved to be a massive hit. I absolutely love it (Album version of course) but there are also so many great demos for it.
Love Madonna song and the video living for love amazing beat spectacular ❤️💙🖤🧡💚💚😍🥰

When she was pulled off those steps on the Brits, I thought it was intentional at first because it literally matched the lyrics of the song exactly.
It is her third bull theme, “Take A Bow”, “You’ll See” and this song. BTW you should react to “VERAS” the Spanish version of “You’ll See”
Such a moving song and the lyrics are good. Deserved to be a smash hit worldwide.
I love the second version.
This whole album was amazing. Madonna is sadly overlooked now that she’s “of a certain age” . She isn’t getting the airplay her efforts deserve because radio believes that a woman her age isn’t “popular” enough now. Ageism and sexism sucks.
Ageism hit hard on this one!
It is a great song but “they” decided it was not ... very sad!
Damn it !! Addictive single !!! I love it !! One of her best ! One of her legendary hit !
G'day it's Steven from down under again
I'm sure many would agree, this album & this song too is seriously underrated, a thoroughly enjoyable album overall.
My memory of this album is breakdown of my long marriage and also taking my children to watch the concert here in Sydney.
All hail the Queen of Pop!
yay! more madonna!
♥️♥️♥️ this song is so underrated!!!
Would still love a reaction to the “Rebel Heart EP” that has five songs not on the deluxe version. Hopefully you finish up the whole album too
Underrated. In her prime the one-two with this and Ghost town would have been huge.
Omg dereck I’m with you totally here this is an amazing tune..
And this WAS meant to be the lead tune from the album !! This is on a par with her 80’s best
THE ONE AND ONLY QUEEN OF POP FOREVER.
A PERFECT pop song.
Madonna!!! Yay ❤️😻
The live performance in the 2015 grammys of this just makes it even better, hope you can make a reaction
Madonna is the queen of the music video too.
Totally agree to double DR Approval 😉👍🏽
The theme of the bull fighter resonates with her. in "Take A Bow" she is the object of desire, the prize for the matador who toys with her emotions.

REACTION TO Living For Love IN THE GRAMMYS
Take a bow you see this is third matador thèmes. Love living for love
Demo version 🔝🔝🔝🔝
I love Rebel Heart!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song, is my favorite track for Rebel Heart Album. Dereck you need react to Linving for Love at the Grammy awards 2015. The best live!!!!! ❤️🖤
Yay great reaction xx
Got such limited air play because of her age, yet the song got brilliant reviews. Deserved to be a much bigger hit, so sad, the radios need to stop acting so ageist and just let people enjoy the music.
Unfortunately for the Queen, industry ageism took over long ago for her! They don't even give her a radio play & chance to chart! It all started in the mid to late 90's. Great reaction as always Dereck!
Mid to late 90s already? Wow. Ray of Light, Music, American Life were almost ignored?
OMG YOU HAVE GOT REACT TO THIS LIVE !!! Grammys 2015 .. IT WAS PHENOMENAL
Holy bananas!! Your videos are great
More class class class from Madonna xxxx
Hell yeah! 👍🔥😘👏😎🌴✨😘
And to think radio 1 refused to play this song stating the song wasn't good enough, ageism more like, shame on them.
I know Radio 1 said it was not due to her age but because of the style of music of the track which is of course total bull. The track is better and more contemporary than a lot of the shit they played then and now. Come on it is one of the best tracks that Diplo had been involved in, for any artist. ❤️

Please do "Take a Bow" and the follow up "You'll See". Bulls in both.
She was near 60 when she did living for love.
PLS watch her Grammy 2015 Performance! This Performance and this Song !!! Holy Banana
Living For Love (GRAMMYS) is one of MY FAVVVVS!!!!
💙💙🔥🔥😎zane

Hi Derek,
Can you please react to the Grammy exhibition of Living for love? It's simply Amazing!!!
You have to check the live version at the grammys 2015

I love the demo. It's true it's very nineties but truly inspired by Kiesza's song hideaway. Alicia Keys brings the nineties back with that piano but the dance beats come from that Kiesza sound. And by the way she said she was very inspired by Madonna

Lose your pants and do the next M reaction in your boxers! LOL - the leak of the album killed the entire release plan - but there are so many great songs on Rebel Heart. Ageist Radio also ruined things for her - several songs deserved to be #1 - this one, Ghosttown, etc.
Both versions are good, I've heard loads of rebel heart demos but not this one which is good.
I'm gonna keep requesting it until Dereck Reacts does it, lol. Please react to the demo version vs the album version of Madonna's Beautiful Scars song from her Rebel Heart album!

Would love to see you react to Madonna’s Queen, her unreleased track from Rebel Heart.... such an underrated gem ruclips.net/video/X1g9b9j_PqA/видео.html
Should never have been the first track to this album, not a bad tune, just does not represent the rest of the album and it's vibe
Should have been ghost down double a side with devils pray as a double whammy first single
I think you mean it shouldn't have been the 'first' track - the title track was Rebel Heart.
@@jluebs changed it and added more haha
Wtf!!! Living for love IS the lead track always should be
ALSO VERY ILLUMINATI......SYMBOLS.......SHE FLIES RGHT BACK .....OTHER THINGS.....
Most demos from RH was way much better than album versions, sadly ruined by known popular producers.
I gave a like for your enthusiasm. But I don’t like the song, it’s primitive sounding and its fancy production doesn’t save the weak tune. It is wrong for a single let alone a kickoff single. It is her worst one since “4 minutes to save the world”... even “Gimme all your love” wasn’t that bad (though far from amazing) It is one of the reasons that I did not purchase her Rebel Heart album. “Medellin” from the latest Madame X album is her best kick-off single in many many years!
