Madonna’s voice is one of the most recognisable in music history. You only need to listen to her talk or sing afew words snd you knows The Queen of Pop Madonna.
Like Karen Carpenter. Instantly recognized. Madonna is one of the greats
@@cheffashaba you can only heard Annie Lennox Sing.... she send much more parts that what she was supposed to sing and you recognice her at the first second
29:27 YES. This is a real react.
LIVE TO TELL is EVERYTHING.
Eternal. Etherial. Emotional.
One of the most iconic successes of her career.
This takes me back to 1986. This album was a huge worldwide hit. Nearly everyone I knew had it. I listened to it entirely over and over again. There is a reason this is her best selling studio album. It’s pure pop, but strong with great melodies and powerful message. Definitely this took her to the top of the planet. Ps: listen to Where’s the party remix from her album You can dance. It is soooo good!!!!
Yes, You Can Dance added that extra layer of instruments and "ear candy" sounds for a full bodied artistic upgrade.
TRUE BLUE< will always be one of my favorites. Madonna had taken a new more mature direction had great, other writers and producers. The album is pure genious, including the memorable ICONIC cover. I still listen to this CD in my car at age 60. I will also mention (although more controversial, darker and serious), "Like AA Prayer was also another "unforgettable masterpiece! I grew up with Madonna though the years, I have to say personally), the earlier music was gold. Over time, she did "comeback to her roots on "Ray of Light" and Confessions. Now, I think I've outgrown the styles she has primarily selected..
It reminds me of my sister, she was a HUGE Madonna fan, and I remember her listen to her over and over and eventually I got hooked on Madonna too...but first in 1989 when Like A Prayer hit the world with a BANG.... Makes me happy thinking back on those days.. happy days...
This was the first LP that i personally bought. I was 12. This album is amazing, with such melodies, lyrics, and pop hooks. If you eliminate Jimmy Jimmy this is the perfect album, beginning to end. It brings me so much good memories!
You have to keep in mind that back in the 80s albums were still released on vinyl. Meaning there was an A and a B side. This is sometimes important to know to understand the composition of an album and the sequence of the songs. In this case side A ended with the big ballad "Live to Tell" and side B kicked off with the banger "Where's the Party".
I'll say it: Madonna is one of popular music's most underrated lyricists, and that's a hill I'm willing to die on.
Absolutely. Especially from Like A Prayer forward.
Preach!!!
And she writes melodies. And she co-produces all of her tracks. But most people think she's a lucky bimbo.
The best selling album of 1986, and the best selling album of the 1980's by a female artist. And it stayed at number one for 34 consecutive weeks on the European Top 100 albums, longer than any album in history! It also spawned five singles, all of them were number 1 hits in the US and/or UK. It's a masterpiece.
No not all singles were n1 in both the US/UK.
@@gjnoto1 you misunderstand. What I mean is that all the singles were number one in either USA or UK or both, but every single was a number 1. Live to Tell (US), Papa Don’t Preach (UK/USA), True Blue (UK), Open Your Heart (US), La Isla Bonita (UK).
@@munchkinmanchild no u misunderstood not all the singles were n1 in both the us/uk ,check what someone posted on this thread!Your comment sounds like all 5 singles were either n1 in the US or UK.I would write what didnt chart n1 in the US charted n1 in the UK.
@@gjnoto1 but I didn’t write that they were number 1 in both UK/USA. You just misinterpreted it that way. It is factually correct that all five singles were number one in either the US or UK and Papa Don’t Preach was number 1 in both, hence the use of ‘and/or’.
"Papa Don't Preach " was #01 best selling single Worldwide in 1986 - it was the first time Madonna had the Global Best Selling of the Year (it happened again in 1989 with "Like a Prayer" and in 2000 with "Music"). But better than that in 1986 Madonna also made the Global Year End Singles list with "True Blue" at #04 and "Live To Tell" at #08. By 1989 Guiness World Records recognized "True Blue" as the best selling album worldwide by a female artists (a record that it doesn't hold anymore).
In 1987 "La Isla Bonita" was #03 Best Selling Single of the Year and "Open Your Heart" was #15 (it had its sales split in 1986 and 1987 as the single was released in November 1986).
Addicionally Madonna also had the Global #04 Best Selling Single of 1987 with "Who's That Girl" that song it's on a OST and was released after "La Isla Bonita" that year:
It actually happened again with the Confessions album. Massive world hit except for the USA which was still boycotting her at radio for the American Life video controversy.
@@a.j.patron9214 Madonna was a global year end #01 again in 1989 with "Like a Prayer" while "Express Yourself" was #09 and "Cherish" #17.
in 2000 "Music" was #01 and "American Pie" #04. "Don't Tell Me" was also #04 but in 2001. In 2005 "Hung Up" was #08 and in 2006 it was again #08 (never was #1 because sales were split into 2 calendar years as it was released im October). In 2006 "Sorry" was also at #04 on Year End Global Chart.
www.mediatraffic.de/tracks-2006.htm
In US "Hung Up" was #42 on the airplay chart but was 13 weeks at #01 on download songs and Hot Single Sales Chart. Digital sales were still starting in 2005 so didn't even make it to TOP 100 of the decade downloaded songs (as the song didn't stay that long on the chart). "Hung Up" later became #01 Club Play songs of the decade in US (and "Music" was #02 while another 3 Madonna songs were also TOP 20 of the decade!). Madonna was still the #01 physical singles sales artist of the decade in US according to Billboard.

I remember, every single was a hit, here in France.
I was in love with Madonna at this time. Her sexual attitude and the growing desire of my teenage years 😊...🤭
I just love love that album!!! Was from 1986, the year I was born. But I becaming fan of Madonna(and know about her and her carrer, songs etc) in 2006.
Album photos by famed photographer Herb Ritts. She always knew whom to collaborate with and took a lot of thought about her accompanying visual art from videos, album art, and editorial promotion.
Live to tell is one of the most iconic song of Madonna. Just listen to the Confession Tour version and you'll see the Power of this song !
I'm revisiting this album right now because of your review. ❤️🧡💛💚💙 This album. Been a life long fan of hers and Live To Tell is my favourite all time Madonna track. Love that you love her and appreciate the mastery of the album. Her and Patrick Leonard creates masterpieces.
YES!!! Finally Madonna again!
This is one of Madonna's best, most consistent albums along with Like A Prayer, Ray of Light and Rebel Heart. Only two tracks - White Heat and Jimmy Jimmy are weak but all the others are repeatably listenable. Please do more full album reviews, this was nice. Madonna had been criticized for weak vocals in her first two albums so she took singing lessons to learn how to properly project and breathe while singing... you can see the results in Live To Tell and Papa Don't Preach and this album was the first of a more mature sound.
Love dont live here anymore &Sho bee doo had good vocals from her.
White Heat is a bop wys
Uggg I absolutely hate Jimmy Jimmy what on earth is that garbage compared to all the other songs 😂 Great album but that song is awful. Love makes the world go round is pretty rough too.
1986 Grammy Nominations for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance:
Cyndi Lauper, "True Colors"
Madonna, "Papa Don't Preach"
Barbra Streisand, "The Broadway Album"
Tina Turner, "Typical Male"
Dionne Warwick, "Friends"
The winner? Barbra Streisand for "The Broadway Album," Barbra's last Grammy win of her career (to date).
It looks like "Papa Don't Preach" was the second of Madonna's 28 Grammy nominations. She has won 7 to date.
Where's the Party was only performed twice. once in the Who's That Girl tour, and once in the Blond Ambition tour. It was also sampled in the Confessions tour in Music inferno.
This is a great idea to lump a number of the tracks in one video. Madonna's iconic "Papa Don't Preach". Gave me the chance to visit the music video after all these years. Same for "Live To Tell".
True Blue and her first album are true classics o their time 😎🎵🎵
And don't forget Like a Virgin and Like a Prayer albums too.
One of the best pure pop albums ever released
I adore so many Madonna albums but True Blue is still my #1. It has my two favorite songs by Madge - La Isla Bonita and Papa Don't Preach but I do love all 9 tracks. Moreover, I'm a bit sad she refused to include Spotlight to this album. This overlooked gem was released on You Can Dance though
I love Spotlight, I was listening to it just the other day!! True Blue remains one of my favourite albums too, the only song I don’t like is White Heat, for some reason I never got on with it and time (and maturing of my ears) hasn’t changed that, all the other songs are fantastic though. La Isla Bonita is still one of my all time favourite songs from any artist, I still remember being captivated by the beauty of the song and video
The vocals are supposedly from her first recording of her singing the song (Live To Tell) after she wrote the lyrics & sang it in the studio of his guest house. They never re-recorded the vocals according to Mr Leonard.
Great album! Where's the Party is such an anthem.. you can't help but want to dance! Also, you mentioned that you have seen her perform this live. Does this mean you have watched The Blond Ambition Tour????☺😉
no I thought I heard it live in The Girlie Show???
@@DereckReactstricked me haha
One of the best albums done is history with so many hits! It was such an exciting time when this was album was released and she changed her look. MTV had events releasing her videos to this album.
Yeah. Remember her MTV's Make My Video contest for True Blue?
This was the album that started it all for me... A lifelong love affair with her and her music.. It was Live To Tell that hooked me.. It hit me emotionally too.. such a song! And then.. in the order of release of the singles Papa Don't Preach dropped and sealed the deal.. and she was stunning in both videos.. My 15year old self had no chance xx haha
i chuckled while reading your post as I, too, was 15 at the time and Papa Don't Preach sealed the deal for me. That's awesome!
To me, this is one of the 2 best Madonna albums - True Blue and Like a Prayer. Both are perfection and utterly iconic. They put her into superstar status forever! (Ray of Light would be another master class later). Everything came together wonderfully on True Blue!
Was my very first Madonna CD 💿 I ever owned as a kid, I got it Christmas and have been a huge fan ever since!!
White heat is amazing song!
Madonna queen 👑 👑 👑 ❤️
White Heat had male back up singers. One of them was none other than Richard Marx right before his big break as well.
He was also on Material Girl.
Thank you sooooooo much for all your Madonna reaction^^
Madonna sung Where's The Party in the Who's That Girl Tour and the Blond Ambition Tour.
The Confessions Tour's Music contains elements of Where's The Party.
Along with this album came her first major image change. I remember how stunned I was seeing Live to Tell video (when i was 15 and MTV World Premieres were a huge deal lol) She had shed the messy hair, lace gloves, and piles of jewelry for that gorgeous retro look. It was like, wth? So totally unexpected and utterly fabulous.
Thanks for doing this. I forgot about Where’s the Party? Nice re-fresher.
Thank you for the surprise part 1 of True Blue album reaction/review 💗 💫
it's so good to see you talking about Madonna, you and she are amazing! bring a nice energy!
Definetely one of her best albums. She was on top of the world at that time. Here in the Netherlands. I love this album so much. I was my first cd. Ever.
This was my very first Vinyl Album purchased just over 35 years ago. I was only 13 years old and had saved my pocket-money for weeks. I was completely HOOKED after this release. I LOVE your reaction video so much that I'll need to go and re-play my newly purchased Clear Vinyl release :-)
Missed your reactions Dereck ‼️ One of her best selling albums of her career, ICONIC. I hope you react to some performances of The Who’s that Girl tour, mesmerizing👏🏻
Love when i see u getting emotional too I feel that, easily best reaction channel ❤️
LIVE TO TELL is one of the best in music history in my opinion
Incredible and unique with so much emotion simply unbelievable and does not age at all
Release it again today would probably and deservedly would be top of the charts again
I fell in love with her via Live to Tell. I see you have done the same. I revisit my memories vicariously through your reactions. You're reminding me on how much I love her. She's the best bro.
One of my favourite album of all time. 💖
You should react to the music videos too. Shes so gorgeous in “Live to tell”
This was my first album i bought ( on vinyl ) from money i got for my 8 birthday. This is really nostalgic for me 💖 and yes i feel really old now 😂
Same. I was 10 at the time and one of the very first (and few) singles (45rpm vinyls) was Into the Groove. Brings me back to the living room in the house I was in when listening to that music (in Belgium). And Madonna was always on the radio!
Oh my does this take me back!! My inner 12 year old was dancing around the kitchen while doing the dishes 😆 I freaking love this album! Live to tell gets to me still, so emotional and beautiful. And Where's the party is just too much fun!! Thank you Derek 😘
True Blue never gets old, It's just a perfect pop album and Live to Tell is easily one of the best pop songs of all time. You should react to Like a Prayer (Album) after this.
Thanks for all your joy 🥰
Live to Tell is the ultimate song!! When you ever get the chance, make sure you get hold of the extended version from the movie At Close Range. It's finominal!
This was the biggest album of 1986 and truly cemented her status as a worldwide icon and the queen of pop.
I think Like A Virgin cemented her to the top,even if TB was her bestselling album.
madonna ....i always love her ...from france
MADONNA AND KYLIE MINOGUE THE ONLY 2 QUEENS OF POP IN THE WORLD , LOVE YOUSE BOTH FOREVER , DERI YOUR ONE COOL DOOD NEVER CHANGE STAY COOL FOREVER.
React to “Erotica” album, full reaction, you won’t regret it. One of the most intimate and personal albums!
For me the best Madonna Album.
Let Dereck react to her albums in order so that he can understand and appreciate her evolution as an artist. He should have started from the very beginning with Madonna. 😘
This is one of my top two favorite albums!!
my fav of the album is Open Your Heart, Papa Don't Preach, Live To Tell, La Isla Bonita
This is my all time favourite album
The name of the song White Heat was taken from the movie with the same name which stars James Cagney whose voice you hear in the beginning of the song. It was inspired by that movie and she took the theme of cops and arresting the bad guys/criminals as lyrics for this song. She is the love cop of this song.
Thank you for this amazing video! 💕
nothing more to say
True Blue was epic and changed women and music because this is when she took control and did and produced her music. Definitely her happiest funnest album and it catapulted to something the world had never seen before in popularity. Live to tell her best ever. Dave Marah from Billboard said "If it weren't for the massive prejudice against Madonna's over confident display of her sexuality, "Live to Tell" would rank among the greatest pop songs written in the past decade." I remember the time the cold war was at its peak and Prince (Ronnie talk to Russia) and Sting (Russians) recorded anti cold war songs and Madonna said she wanted to her album out before the world blew up. (So funny)
blond ambition's live to tell version is the ultimate
Live to tell is the best Madonna song ever!
Live to tell and express yourself are her two best of all time
@DereckReacts Where's The party by MADONNA was on the Who's that Girl World tour and Blond ambition tour Not on the Girlie show World tour. She sings this twice.
The best version she did was on Blond Ambition Tour
It is so EASY to look at someone else and believe that somehow they are truly happy...we all learn to put on a brave face and say we are alright if we are asked. Everyone holds SOMETHING deep inside, and this song (Live To Tell) brings that fact HAUNTINGLY to life...
I love this album, and it takes me right back to college!! Those were the days!😁
In the chorus sing in White heat Richard marx,I like it
THANK! YOU! SO! MUCH! :)
loved it thanks not herd some of those songs in years and years xx oh my teenage years remember them all and im a rock metal head,,i have 5 sisters all with different tastes ... my eldest was the madonna fan xx
Love this album. It’s legendary. But I’ll go out on a limb and say I only ever loved the singles. All the other tracks fell flat for me. Jimmy Jimmy is cringe. Every Madonna album has at least one cringe, and that’s the one. Lol. Still, because each single is legendary it still elevates the album to classic. Live To Tell remains my very favorite Madonna ballad of all time.
I like Jimmy Jimmy, it’s very upbeat and catchy 😁
@@lounolastname4477 I will occasionally give Where’s the Party a spin. That one is ok.
Funny! I think that White Heat is the more interesting of the album-only tracks! Goes to show how eclectic our tastes can be! I like that.
It’s awful, total filler. I don’t even think it was fully produced. I think it was a tightened demo. The sound is so boxed in. I get that it fits this eras vibe but it’s just bad.
i love this album
True Blue 💙 Live to Tell ❤❤❤❤
She performed where's the party? during the Blond Ambition Tour
And Who's That Girl Tour!
She had a cold when she recorded Papa Don't Preach
and that cold makes her voice sound even more awesome! lol
That cold got her a Grammy I believe. You can hear the rasp.
Man!! You really should react to Maurane "Toutes les Mamas", a French singer who's passed away few years ago, unfortunately...
She was so inspired...
Thanks!!!!
In Perú... was a ssucces all the album. And for me the Queen ...always be the Queen... true... ‼🇵🇪
I never thought much of this album much because in my head it was just white heat and jimmy jimmy. But then last year I revisited and realized how amazing it was/is!!!!
The 80's made lots of happy-go-lucky songs, and as I can recall the 80s was a really tough time, so the music had to be happy to make people think of other things for a period of time..
I agree with you about how the media and the general public view Madonna as only a disco tart/sex object and how frustrating it is that they don't want to see more as a versatile artist.
nice review got to find my copy now and give it a listen.
Richard Marx sang backup for White Heat.
Love this album so much. I was 15 when this came out and I was obsessed! You should check out her tracks from The Who’s That Girl soundtrack too. Came out the year after this.
And don't forget Stephen Bray having chemistry as co songwriter and co producer too.
Dereck, I'm surprised you haven't reacted to any freestyle dance music from the 80's. It was hugely popular in Miami back then. I think you would absolutely go nuts when you tap into that rabbit hole. Try bands like Lime (Angel Eyes) or TKA (Louder than Love, One Way Love) or probably my favorite is Sisley Ferre (Give Me Your Love). Others to check out Sweet Sensation, Cynthia or Stevie B
mes parents mon offert l'album cassette j'avais 12 ans. j'ai écouter en boucle sur mon walkman
I don't know if this is the purpose of musical albums, but every Madonna album is like a story being told leaves the lister to their own thoughts. like a soundtrack to a story...
GREATEST EMOTIVE SINGER OF ALL TIME!
Yes, Live To Tell is about being strong as a survivor of child abuse or any kind of abuse.
Fyi great job reacting and analyzing her music but you should have ended the Part 1 with Live To Tell because that's how the album's Side 1 ends and Side 2 starts with Where's The Party.
And Where's The Party was performed for the Who's That Girl Tour and for the Blond Ambition Tour.
her track white heat was inspired by the bombardment and invasive nature of the media....
Una obra maestra. Este album es supremo, lleno de éxitos. Me encanta tu canal. Saludos desde Chile. Un abrazo
TRUE BLUE HER BEST ALBUM
hi, you have to listen to the song Strut by Sheena Easton.
Favorite album from Madonna so far!
"I'm gonna keep my baby. Oooh Aaaw."
I definitely would have hated "Open Your Heart" had it been recorded by that whateverhername Lauper clown. Thank God for Madonna.
truebluebabyiloveu
You need to react to her performances of Live To Tell for the Who's That Girl Tour and the Blond Ambition Tour because they're very dramatic as well.
You would like Evita the film and the soundtrack.
hi dereck. you wouldn't have liked this album i wouldn't have understood anything lol. for me true blue is the female thriller (i considered that madonna was the female M.J.)

Harías un vídeo sin gorra rey??
It’s not what it is. If her new albums don’t get leaked weeks before she wouldn’t be doing this heavy copyrighting. Just saying Dereck.
