My brother ADORED Madonna....I lost him this past March. He was 47 yrs old. Her music seems to always find me now, as I'm driving home from work 🤔...and yes...I turn it up full max and jam. It's like he's sitting in the passenger seat next to me. Love and miss you "Boog" 😘
Not only did she had the balls to say she wants to rule the world, she CONQUERED it. Plain and simple, to have a career as a female dance artist for more than 30 years is testament to the "Power of Madonna."
@@AlexanderNovak0 WRONG, not poor but not exceptionally strong vocal range, however her tone is super rich capable of emoting emotions, Dylan wasn't also a huge belter yet he's also one of the greatest. marketing is something other acts tried too and FAILED. Madonna is talented all across: she writes, dances, is THE best visual pop act of all time, provocative, rebellious and was born to be a celebrity and a leader...here in the raw you can see she just oozes charisma and a level of celebrity others can't get even with coaching. get it right next time.
Was 1984 the best year ever?! _"Ghostbusters. Gremlins. Beverly Hills Cop. The Terminator. A Nightmare on Elm Street. Police Academy. The NeverEnding Story. The Karate Kid. Splash. Footloose. Revenge Of the Nerds.This Is Spinal Tap. Sixteen Candles. Purple Rain. The Natural"_
Totally. Best year ever. I've been saying this for years and every one rolls their eyes. God graced us that year. Gave us magic. ....... Did I mention I was born in 84?? Coincidence of epic proportions or just fate being majestic as always???? Hmmm Fate wins (I couldn't resist-sorry lol not everyday you see people celebrating your birth year as the best year ever)
Wis Dom Don’t forget “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, one of the movie’s, if not THE movie to usher in the PG-13 movie rating. Also, Romancing the Stone, Sixteen Candles, The Last Starfighter, and Amadeus.”
That's something that is said of almost any successful musician. But more than that, hard work. Working your ass off, bugging the right people until they will listen, etc. It goes all the way back to Louis Armstrong on the streets of New Orleans, cajoling and making people listen until the right one heard him.
Nothing like the purity of youth....like on display here. Everything in front of you, every existential avenue open to your purview. All that's needed is the "stones" to go and take what you want! What you think is yours by birthright! Nietzsche, himself, would be very proud of Madonna's Will to Power that is seen here!
Barbie Chêtif A few things: 1. Learn how to spell the word TEACHER. 2. You sound bitter as fuck. You might wanna fix that. 3. Don't be calling me a "moron" when you clicked on this video knowing damn well you hate Madonna. 4. Go fuck yourself 5. Repeat #4
I was wondering what Prophecy U was Talking about Big Man I Been Watching Alllll Her Old Stuff Today I Never Really got into her when I was younger But I Have to Say I Have Enjoyed watching This But I Have picked up on Like 6 Things She Said That Kinda Made Me Say Hummm 🤔😁 Including This At The End Saying to Rule The world🤔😏 But yes Sir I was Just Wondering Man 🙂✝️🙏🙋♂️✌
I STILL say her first album was the best to this day! And I STILL love playing the entire album! 55 now, and remember watching this LIVE at 15 on a Saturday morning, good days!
Back in that era, she not only highly influenced music, but also fashion, makeup, hair for girls of the time. Her imprint on the 80s and beyond; unmistakable.
Every bit as electrifying to watch this 37+ years later. So many great moves, so well-conceived. She was great on all her early TV appearances but really, really sold it here.
@Kevin Prima You can blame the libtards and all their hatred and her wanting to blow up the white house for that. I bet she would have loved to rub elbows with Trump back in the 80's when he was living the american dream and he gave it up just to save this nation from people like her. She is part of the deep state. When she said she wanted to rule the world, she wasn't kidding, but her reign is up.
In 2012, Madonna joined Interscope Geffen A&M/Universal - now minority owned by Chinese online pioneer Tencent. Madonna's bio is at www.interscope.com/artists and www.universalmusic.com.
And now she's the bestselling female artist of all time selling 350 million albums and 243 million singles worldwide and her song ray of light as of 2017 remains the bestselling single of the 2000's selling more than 42.34 million copies
omgf!!! she was soo young! i wasn't even born at that time, but i've been her fan for a long time because of my mother. and YES BABY, You totally RUN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!1
I was 17 when I first heard her and instantly became a fan. I even dressed like her in college and had her posters in my dorm room. I always say I’m lucky that I was a teen when Madonna first cake on and proud to say I was there when we witnessed her just starting out! Lots of people criticized her back then and said she was just a pretty face. I remember watching this when it aired in 1984 and loved it! I felt like I was one of the few who believed her when she said she wanted to rule the world. And here we are 37 years later! That’s why when I’ve heard some younger people today say awful things about her I’m like, yall need to take several seats and shut up because I was there when Madonna started out and I KNOW how successful and huge pop culture phenomenon she has been for 3 1/2 decades! Not too many artists can say that. Madonna is one of the few from our time listening to music artists in the 70s and 80s that has had that longevity...and she has been a very savvy business woman. That’s why she’s had this staying power for almost 40 years!
Ha I clearly remember this airing. Was in the nearby bathroom when this started playing "Oh I like this new song." Didn't know what she looked like. Walked in the livingroom and my reaction was something like "wtf?". lol
My first concert was Madonna in 1984 at Radio City Music Hall. The Beastie Boys opened for her. I will never forget ALL the girls who dressed up like her, including this beautiful girl just sitting on that famous staircase. All these white limos were parked out front after the concert. I still have the ticket stub.
I was in 5 grade when Holidays became number 1. I have been a fan of Madonna since 1984. She was so different back then, Her street style, her high energy dance music, and no other White female singers back then could dance like her! It has been fun watching her change and grow over the past 40 years! She keeps people on the edge of their seats and people were always looking forward to what she was going to do next. Even when I was in 5 grade, I knew she was going to be around for a long time,
Nice. I remember watching this when it aired. Classic line "To rule the World" thanx for uploading the performance in its entirety 32 years later in full HD (!)
It is interesting is that the whole audience is dressed in Lacoste and Khakis, super preppy. A year or two later, they'd all be dressed similar to Madonna.
I remember seeing this for the first time, thinking, "oh she'll last a couple of years". Here I am watching this almost 40 years later, and amazed at her staying power and influence. Touche, Madonna!
We remember when this episode of AB came on we never missed AB every Saturday morning lot of great performances those were the good days music was at it's best
I just saw this clip for the first time, and immediately noticed the date. It aired on my wedding day. No wonder I hadn't seen it before . . . I was a little preoccupied that day. Always did really like the song. Not necessarily her best song, but it just has a happy, upbeat feel to it. And a great groove.
Wow you talk about some nostalgia here. Jan '84 puts me at 12 yrs old the middle of 6th grade. She was about to REALLY take off here. Watched AB fairly regularly back in the 80s growing up. Good times. Still love Madonna.
Not really a Madonna fan but for some reason have always loved this song. It's just one of those feel good songs that make you want to move. I give credit where credit is due. She proved with determination and hard work you can achieve anything. Just want to point out though, American Bandstand was not live. It was all lip syncing.
Madonna's pinky has more talent than you. Madonna is worth hundreds of millions of dollars more than what you or your entire family can ever imagine to be, even if given an unlimited number of lifetimes. Go back to your hole kid. Worshiping the Devil has only made you dumber. @@zyxw2024
She was far ahead of time with all she did. Love watching those Mennonite looking women & Mr. Roger's characters blown away by that legend in front of their faces.
She is a really a great singer and dancer. I used to think she was not that good. She is really into music and dance. she was so popular in the 1980's.
Wow...and Dick Clark's last question was terrific. I am sure he asked other musical guests the same question, but not ever to such a person that would have a bombshell impact.
I'm not a Madonna fan, but this clip was endearing. I give her so much credit for the self confidence she exuded back then. She was a lucky lucky lady to stick with what she wanted to do.
I can’t get over the contrast between Madonna’s look that came from living the hard life in New York for a few years and making due with what she could scrape by and those suburban kids wearing khakis, sweater vests, and conservative dresses. But then they were so into everything Madonna was offering here. No wonder Madonna mania took over and young women started dressing like her.
one of my coworkers has a collection of original vinyls next to his desk, and i was just looking through them and pulled madonna’s (this album) and his rule was “if you pull it, it’s yours.” it’s so crazy being able to see an ounce of an effect that it had so many decades ago.

@@ithinkthefucknotyoutrickas5461 YEEEESSSS PREACH😍 Though her range is limited, there's no denying of this woman's multiple amazing talents😍😍😍
Saw this when it aired. Will never forget those final unexpected words. Dream big kids!
Was 1984 the best year ever?! _"Ghostbusters. Gremlins. Beverly Hills Cop. The Terminator. A Nightmare on Elm Street. Police Academy. The NeverEnding Story. The Karate Kid. Splash. Footloose. Revenge Of the Nerds.This Is Spinal Tap. Sixteen Candles. Purple Rain. The Natural"_
YES!!
totally agree
Totally. Best year ever.
I've been saying this for years and every one rolls their eyes.
God graced us that year.
Gave us magic.

Did I mention I was born in 84??
Coincidence of epic proportions or just fate being majestic as always????
Hmmm
Fate wins

Like a Virgin
Madonna was my childhood. I was a teen in 84. I sure miss this time! What a stage presence she had here! One of my fave songs of hers.
She worked so hard and deserved it all
No matter what you think of her, this woman is truly a brilliant businesswoman as well as musician.
That's something that is said of almost any successful musician. But more than that, hard work. Working your ass off, bugging the right people until they will listen, etc. It goes all the way back to Louis Armstrong on the streets of New Orleans, cajoling and making people listen until the right one heard him.
Her confidence on that stage , she runs around like a lion ❤
I don't think that's how a lion runs.
She is a Leo!
Just beautiful 😻❤️😮.
Jan brought me here
fuck jan.
Jan Brady ?!
Actually, Jan Sport. She's part of the group called Stephanie's Child.
' to RULE the WORLD!....' Wow...just WOW!!!
Drake Patton 👍
Indeed she did
Such a queen 💗👑
That was surely an understatement lol
I got chills! Amazing woman
Wow 33 years ago. I remember watching this.
Me, too!
Nothing like the purity of youth....like on display here.
Everything in front of you, every existential avenue open to your purview. All that's needed is the "stones" to go and take what you want! What you think is yours by birthright!
Nietzsche, himself, would be very proud of Madonna's Will to Power that is seen here!
Myself 58 and big fan here gotta give her props .
Me too Saturday morning
She eventually did rule the world. M taught me anything is possible as long as you put your mind to it. My idol forever. I'm so proud of her.
MadonnaDelRey 👍
a theacher for morons
Barbie Chêtif A few things:
1. Learn how to spell the word TEACHER.

4. Go fuck yourself
5. Repeat #4
You're deaf so keep your shitty rules to your ass, moron.

I remember watching this the first time it aired. Talk about a self fulfilling prophecy.

and that she did.
I totally remember watching this on a Saturday mid morning like it was yesterday. I was 18 and fell in love with Madonna!💜💜😎
I was also 18 and remember this like it was yesterday. She definitely ruled the world
I remember watching this the first time it aired. Talk about a self fulfilling prophecy.
' to RULE the WORLD!....' Wow...just WOW!!!
I love this song so much, she really is the queen of pop.
AND SO SHE DID IT... AMAZING VIDEO.
The one and only Queen of pop ... 2020 anyone?
Hail to the queen 👸
We really need the vibe and fun of this song now more so than ever in 2020. Come on Madonna pick our spirits up
And now she's the bestselling female artist of all time selling 350 million albums and 243 million singles worldwide and her song ray of light as of 2017 remains the bestselling single of the 2000's selling more than 42.34 million copies
what a shitty world we live in...
Barbie Chêtif So how is that obsession coming along? Just wondering.
I love Madonna but 💀 the liar jumped out
Wow really? Ray of Light sold THAT much?? Even if it was from the 90s??
When she was young, beautiful and inspiring
I was 13 in 84 when this aired everyone was talking about it in middle school
Woah those eyes…! I was 11yrs in ’84 what a year for big artists… her wish was granted!
“To Rule the World”.....Check been there done that

A Queen was born!❤️❤️❤️
I was only ten when this episode aired, and I became a big fan of Madonna that day!
Madonna is beautiful!😍💜
I don't care what anybody says. Modanna was and will always be the queen of pop!!!!!🙌
The day the world fell in love with Madonna, and yes you did rule the world.
She will be 60 years old this August...WOW!!!!!
The legend begun...
Ha I clearly remember this airing. Was in the nearby bathroom when this started playing "Oh I like this new song." Didn't know what she looked like. Walked in the livingroom and my reaction was something like "wtf?". lol
Me too. Are we getting old now? lol
Bet you went back to the bathroom.lol
Didn’t a lot of people think she was Black before seeing her on Television?
I remember this episode in 84. Good times the 80's. 80's for some of 50 somethings forever..
My first concert was Madonna in 1984 at Radio City Music Hall. The Beastie Boys opened for her. I will never forget ALL the girls who dressed up like her, including this beautiful girl just sitting on that famous staircase. All these white limos were parked out front after the concert.

Her voice is so deep now. Indeed she did rule the world. Queen of pop

I have seen this clip on a few other channels. Can I get a thumbs up for the great quality on this clip?
I was born the day this aired. I feel like a lucky star. ⭐
Pure joy and beauty!
Love Madonna !! in 1985 and I still love her Music !!
I still love Madonna to this day.
Legend
Nice. I remember watching this when it aired. Classic line "To rule the World" thanx for uploading the performance in its entirety 32 years later in full HD (!)

I remembered watching this AB episode because I was a huge Madonna fan at the time!
@GREG Hubbard I was ahead of the curve. However, I lost interest in her over time.
I was born in 1984. What a great year for music!
you were born TOO LATE. Better chosser 1971 next time
Thank U for this, very good Work!! Long live the one and only Queen of Pop, Her Madgesty Madonna!
SUCH amazing quality * THANK YOU! ... When she was fabulous
I love I love Holiday
We remember when this episode of AB came on we never missed AB every Saturday morning lot of great performances those were the good days music was at it's best
she never stopped being proactive!!
I remember watching when I was 10 years old. Blew me away. I’m 50 today. Thank you Madonna for the last 40 years
wow i cant believe this happened on my mom's 20th bday!
anyways i love her determination here! she really did rule the world
I just saw this clip for the first time, and immediately noticed the date. It aired on my wedding day. No wonder I hadn't seen it before . . . I was a little preoccupied that day. Always did really like the song. Not necessarily her best song, but it just has a happy, upbeat feel to it. And a great groove.
Yay you're a Madonna young fan then, I born a year after this.
@@remyparaskovia5499 yeah I was born in 1993. Almost a decade after this performance
Quarter Flash was also on this episode they did "Take me to Heart"
And now She Rules the world! Queen of Pop, Queen of Music, Queen of the Universe!! Her Madgesty 👑❤
Madonna!!! She ruled the world that moment. Her dancing.. so controlled. Love you always.
Wow you talk about some nostalgia here. Jan '84 puts me at 12 yrs old the middle of 6th grade. She was about to REALLY take off here. Watched AB fairly regularly back in the 80s growing up. Good times. Still love Madonna.
Timeless. Still fangirling in 2022 💕
and boy, did she! 💜
Not really a Madonna fan but for some reason have always loved this song. It's just one of those feel good songs that make you want to move. I give credit where credit is due. She proved with determination and hard work you can achieve anything. Just want to point out though, American Bandstand was not live. It was all lip syncing.
Of course is was the vocals were perfect and you cant do that while dancing its impossible.
yeah
especially not this "Flashdance" Dancing that she was doing!
Impressive!
She had like 20 hits or more

Damn. I thought you were mocking Madonna. Nothing was live on American Bandstand. Thank You for your service Sir. @@zyxw2024
I remember watching this.
My favorite she still rocks
She was far ahead of time with all she did. Love watching those Mennonite looking women & Mr. Roger's characters blown away by that legend in front of their faces.
She Madonna kept her word I give her major credit for being a Icon Legend Fabulous Fierce Diva Queen 👸 👑❤❤
I remember this performance! It was the first time I ever saw her. Loved her ever since!!!!!!!!!
She is a really a great singer and dancer. I used to think she was not that good. She is really into music and dance. she was so popular in the 1980's.
It was this moment, right here on bandstand, that I fell in love with Madonna.
When I first heard and saw her, I felt like I could be myself and feel I belonged somewhere
Wow...and Dick Clark's last question was terrific. I am sure he asked other musical guests the same question, but not ever to such a person that would have a bombshell impact.
A classic beauty 😍
"To rule the world" and she did 😀✌
Wow the 80’s really was peak America.
As a high school senior at that time I also ruled the world but not as completely as this goddess. What an alpha female talent.
Kick ass Leo woman that doesn’t GAF what nobody thinks of her!!! The confidence I love it
Queen Forever
I remember this so well…I thought here comes a legend!
This video is history.
I remember watching this for the very first time. I was about 14.
Great!
To be at the AMERICAN BANDSTAND with Dick Clark is a great responsability! Madonna's became a mundial star!
I'm not a Madonna fan, but this clip was endearing. I give her so much credit for the self confidence she exuded back then. She was a lucky lucky lady to stick with what she wanted to do.
Still looking gorgeous in 2022🥰
I can’t get over the contrast between Madonna’s look that came from living the hard life in New York for a few years and making due with what she could scrape by and those suburban kids wearing khakis, sweater vests, and conservative dresses. But then they were so into everything Madonna was offering here. No wonder Madonna mania took over and young women started dressing like her.
I remember watching this it takes me back ❤
This bring back memories 😊
YES YES YES !!! Finally a clearer copy of this video! I love the younger fresher Madonna in 1983.
Nobody today bows after a performance anymore! She did!
one of my coworkers has a collection of original vinyls next to his desk, and i was just looking through
them and pulled madonna’s (this album) and his rule was “if you pull it, it’s yours.” it’s so crazy being able to see an ounce of an effect that it had so many decades ago.
Madonna was the shiznit. Didnt take long to realize that she was in for the long haul. Great flashback to my time on MCAS K.Bay, Hawaii-3/3 India Company.
I thougut this was one of my favorites!
Wow i was 13 almost 14 lol 😆 i bought this album with my yard money cutting grass when parents told kids to work lol 😆
Thank God for Madonna ❤.
From a virgin too this hit record will always play across radio waves some where
