I like this better than a lot of the over-the-top, schmaltzy stuff she usually creates in her endless quest for shock, outrage, attention and relevancy, but let's be honest. The lyrics are trite, banal and pretty simplistic. She's never lacked popularity, but I'm not sure there's been all that much evolution since "Lucky Star." She's just 42 here, but once you hit 60, it's pretty tough to keep playing the sex bomb card...
@@fenwayify She has spent less than only Michael Jackson on marketing her image. That's why she's the most successful female pop star ever This performance reminds me of when I was learning to play the guitar. It's very mechanical and not at all soulful. I saw her do something on youtube some years ago and I noted she was using an incredibly low video resolution which is a great way of looking young these days, although fans will be expecting some modern-day resolutions I'm sure.
Woman with guts....she's in the spotlight for so many years and is not afraid not to get burnt because simply dgaf ...she'll do what she wants to do....that is inspiring in such a high level of success!❤❤❤❤❤
Her voice is incredible, and constantly evolving, like she is. She can sing any genre, with that innate ability to change the color of her voice successfully....and sound amazing. She can sing it all, from classical to pop, country, Broadway, r n b , pop....
@@eugen13life It’s true she wasn’t blessed with a god given voice but she loves to sing and she knows how to sing. Her voice is instantly recognizable because she sings with great emotion, passion and personality. Aside from being a wonderful song writer, decades ago she became the most successful female artist in the history of the business industry with well over 300 million records sold. There are four people at the top. The Beatles, Elvis, Michael Jackson and one woman, Madonna. Brava
I am Mariah Careys biggest fan - I usually listen to artists that do insane things with their voice, sing complicated melodies etc. But this touches my heart. I don't know why. It is so simple and still so raw and emotional. I just cried and I don't know why.
I find it very inspiring how she at 40 years old was just starting to learn the guitar and has already been named the Queen of Pop with a long acclaimed and iconic career, also this is another lesson: age is not something that stops you for keep learning new things ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s sarcasm, before Madonna was Madonna, she was in a band called breakfast club, she plays drums & guitar… she’s not elite, but she’s good enough to play live and eventually got signed by Gotham & then Sire.
So cute how she says she just learned to play guitar. She played guitar and drums in her first few bands. Breakfast Club and Emmy and the Emmys!!! Listen guys!!! Its punk/post punk rock!!!
@@onesong2001 she was starting to learn guitar, and i swear to god (bc i've been learning guitar too) ain't easy for a noob prove your vocals while one of your hands its trying to put your fingers in certain way to make a chord and the other making a pattern:
I’m not into her or her music, but I’m pleasantly surprised - by both her voice and guitar playing. She’s so much better when natural, like this, versus over-the-top.
People will never get Madonna the credit she deserves as a songwriter, musician, producer and vocalist. She can do what she wants at this point, she worked for it. Her music is genius.
@DJ DaveRave aka Dave Gordon I just had a listen. It's a million miles from being an acoustic album. She's spent more on marketing than any other woman and it's paid off because she can still sell her crappy albums. On a positive tip, she still has nice hair and looks good if she smears enough vaseline on the camera lens.
@@onesong2001 The album’s wouldn’t sell in the multi millions if the songs weren’t good enough, yes I agree it isn’t a mostly acoustic piece but is still an analytic and emotive record that features some of the strongest songwriting of her career from ‘Hollywood’, ‘Love Profusion’, ‘Nothing Fails’ and ‘X-Static Process’ and possibly the second greatest bond theme since Carly Simon’s in ‘Die Another Day’ ❤️
Never have I ever seen Madonna share in such a vunerable way! She usually has such bravado, but it is refreshing to see her performing live, and a little nervous. I love that the man accompanying her is so respectful. I am sure he is an ace guitarist, but he is just hanging back as her support. Lovely!
Besides singing, Madonna has the ability to play several musical instruments. She learned to play drum and guitar from her then-boyfriend Dan Gilroy in the late 1970s, before joining the Breakfast Club line-up as the drummer.[274] This helped her to form the band Emmy, where she performed as the guitarist and lead vocalist.[274] Madonna later played guitar on her demo recordings. On the liner notes of Pre-Madonna, Stephen Bray wrote: "I've always thought she passed up a brilliant career as a rhythm guitarist."[301] After her career breakthrough, Madonna focused mainly in singing but was also credited for playing cowbell on Madonna (1983) and synthesizer on Like a Prayer (1989).[272] In 1999, Madonna had studied for three months to play the violin for the role as a violin teacher in the film Music of the Heart, before eventually leaving the project.[302] After two decades, Madonna decided to perform with guitar again during the promotion of Music (2000). She took further lessons from guitarist Monte Pittman to improve her guitar skill.[303] Since then, Madonna has played guitar on every tour, as well as her studio albums.[272] At the 2002 Orville H. Gibson Guitar Awards, she received nomination for Les Paul Horizon Award, which honors the most promising up-and-coming guitarist.[304]
Sorry but Madonna just stated in the video (taped in 2000) that she JUST learned to play guitar and to not make fun of her for making a mistake... Now I love Madonna... but she does not know how to play guitar... did not learn to play guitar in the 1970s... she is barely making open chord changes here and is concentrated like hell... does not take anything away from how amazingly talented she is in so many ways... I can change a lightbulb- doesn’t make me an electrician..
@@silence877 Performing is not playing... There are literally hundreds of videos of artists performing aka lip syncing. Playing is another ballgame.. Don’t be lazy.. type on the search box..
@@michaelscott9995 exactly what I was thinking, not taking anything away from her as I think she did really well especially on TV but she's about the level I'm at and I've not even been playing a year
I thought she did great playing the guitar as a beginner, and I applaud her! I came to find this video after I watched a video of a professional guitar player showing all the things she did wrong playing the chords in this performance. It takes practice, like everything else. I'm still trying to learn how to play the guitar I bought years ago! I'm happy if I'm able to play more than one chord. XO
Madonna is quite a talented lady! I love her tours! Each one is so different than the next. Starting with The Virgin Tour all the way to MadameX. You can see her evolution through the years as an artist! She is pretty amazing and you cannot deny her artistry and talent(s)!!!!
True Legend: her HUMANITY and she is willing to LEARN a new instrument. And, she doesn't get in the way to the MUSIC. I ❣️ this song, "Live To Tell", and "Physical Attraction"
I’m surprised. I didn’t know that Madonna actually knew how to play an instrument. I was even curious if other people wrote her songs for her. Now I know the truth. I have more respect for her knowing this.
Madonna wouldn't have been around for so long with all the radically different things she has done so far, if SHE herself wasn't THE mastermind behind her musical output. No matter what type of music she does, everything has that "Madonna sound" because she is the principal creator. She's never been a manufactured act who just shows up to the studio to record the songs. The brilliance from 1982 to today could not have been completely made by others with her merely being a vessel - it makes zero sense if you actually pay attention to her works.
Her voice sounds so natural like something free and even if she has mad parts in her character her voice covers everything. It's obvious she was afraid I think she was afraid of making mistakes she seems very controlled
CANTA HERMOSO MADONNA. SIEMPRE LA AMARE PERO COMO YA TIENE 63 AÑOS CAMBIO SU VOZ ES POR LA EDAD. TE AMO MADONNA SIGUE ADELANTE ENTIENDO QUE TODOS ENVEJECEMOS 😘😘😘👍🏻💁♂️
this song is best unplugged wow and her voice is good she sounds best without all the machines and stuff and when shes not dancing all over the place. Love this. She can get all glammed up and she can be unplugged and paired down and shes not afraid to show her true self.

What a stunning presentation. I love seeing her 100% live and unplugged. I just wish there were more presentations like this one. This was perfect.

42 then.

Anybody who learned their first four chords and got up to play knows that heart-in-mouth feeling. But she nails it.
WONDERFUL. I loved so much the "Music" era. Such a great period.

She's just lovely when she's natural like this
So cute how she says she just learned to play guitar. She played guitar and drums in her first few bands. Breakfast Club and Emmy and the Emmys!!! Listen guys!!! Its punk/post punk rock!!!
