This was 39 years ago! It’s 2023 now and I’m going to see Madonna in concert in September! She’s a survivor for sure. Her hits started when I was in grade school, so I’ve grown up with all her hit songs every part of my life.
People never ever give ehr credit and I find it a shame...she is a pioneer in many ways...she created herself from scratch, as she said so herself "I am my own experiment" no one elses...I think THEN certainly it scared even iconic figures such as James Brown there....this was a woman in rock & roll music not afraid to challenge the "norms"...and look 30 years on, Madonna is still voinv strong because she never gave up on her dreams, her ambition and her motivation....a great music writer and producer in her own right, with a great ear for trends and styles and grooves and working with some insanely cool people....watching this makes me smile....merely two months before the entire world knew MADONNA :-)
Yeah, Madonna wrote most of her first album by herself. "Lucky Star" was written by her alone and it became her first top five hit of her career. Love her so much. Such a strong young woman, she wasn't afraid to stand up to the guy (who must have been a big star then) and the godfather of soul. Plus, her intelligence is quite obvious.
He wasn’t a big Star then he was the Star that made everyone else wanna be Stars!!! He Inspired generations he’s the reason for Funk n soul in music period! The funny thing that if that was Elvis you think she’d do that? Hhhhhmmm?
The guy is John Oates. The difference is when you are on stage playing music it is not acting. It’s performing and not playing a part or becoming a character. When you are a character in a movie you are acting. You are not yourself.
This is why Madonna is a true artist. She understood the industry and she understood music and performance. She didn't follow trends, she started trends and made sure they would become popular. Not like today where artists are all riding the tails of other people's styles.
@@JakobMoscowYes but I wouldn't say she "followed" the trends even in a smart way : for me she got inspired by the trends and made up something new with it wich is a form of creation.
Or is it "men of color" that she is so-called "sweeping the floor" with??? Because in this 12-second clip that you make that DUMB generalisation, both have African blood.
Hahah, well put. But that was exactly what Madonna was about: despite being a woman, she did not shut up like women were supposed to. She had the balls to question those male legends; to be sexual and intellectual at the same time. Those of you who did not live through the 1980s, you do not have an idea about how rebellious that was. By 1990 she was already an academically verified feminist icon.
+RebelThoughts82 Well, he did have a good point... not all musicians are actors. Her reply that performers are acting, too, was cool. ^_^ But there is a subtle difference. Different styles and eras.
He still had a point though. Yes, musicians do act, to a certain extent, but look at how bad music is now? It was that love of image, and of the physical, that helped (though it's not the only reason) bring down the quality of music now.
Her first album "Madonna" that had the hits, "Holiday", "Borderline", "Lucky Star". It went on to sell 5 million copies in the USA and stayed on the Billboard 200 album charts for 109 weeks!
I've finally found the secret of Madonna: My definition of my music is something that's, you know, fresh and reflecting the times, the politics, the fashion, the energy, something new, something that's aplicable to what's happening in the world today !! I'm so glad by that !!
she's actually very very smart, and when she articulates she almost sounds like a professor. Not saying this because of this clip though, but other her moments. Go figure!
I envy people who just instinctively know what they want to do for a living - and in this case she had exactly what it takes to be everything that she wanted to be.
Lover her or hate her, you gotta admit that Madonna always knew/knows what she wants and how to go about getting it. She cracks me up! Interrupting James Brown, calling out John Oates! I was a teen in the 80's and totally forgot the resistance to the video format & MTV! Hard to imagine now!
@@aaronnbroussard3108 Where was the acting? Honestly? Aside from the fact that he was looking at it from a musicians (as in creating "music") perspective. Funny thing is how MTV tanked and is unrecognizable to people that knew it in the '80's. (I guess the acting and music took a nosedive together)
Just because the camera is on you as you are speaking or singing/playing that does NOT mean you’re acting!!!! I’m sorry but no. And it’s adorable that some people think she’s so intelligent and profound for this. 🤦
This proves that Madonna was a visionary… she literally saw the future lol it’s no wonder why she was so hugely successful and a staple in the music business for SO long. I feel like having a clear vision and her ambition was ultimately the recipe for her massive success and impact.
Madonna still is on top and she has sold so many record albums and she has made it as a singer and an artist and she knew what she wanted and she got it no matter how she did it. Now Madonna is in her 60s and still alive and kicking. Madonna is one the best music artists of all time. I have all of her albums and she is amazing. She has the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, and Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame, and there is no stopping her.
John Oates was from the era where it was pretty much all about the music, but the 80s brought in the music video and artists were required to stretch themselves more. But even in the 70s we had theatre rock, acts like David Bowie, Genesis, Queen, Mott the Hoople, Alice Cooper, Parliament, Rick James and Funkadelic. So it wasn't like acting and playing songs on stage was something new. But that's what creativity demands. Madonna was on the pulse. It doesn't make Hall & Oates less relevant than they were, but Madonna was the right person in the right place at the right time. You can't argue with that. What good does John Oates saying he resents that music artists have to act accomplish. It makes him look backward.
Madonna was wise beyond her years. Her position wasn't popular then but looking back she was right on track. She defined MTV and music we know today. SHE will be 10 times bigger than Michael Jackson. We must ENJOY her while she's here. Long live the queen.
No strings attached just a very very smart girl telling it like it is!! It was obvious at the time to see that she was going to shake up the industry, but she went on to shake up the world in the process!! To me she is the biggest icon in the world and will go down as the greatest recording artist to ever live!!
i grew up in the 80s and to me Madonna was the most beautiful woman in the world. I could never take my eyes off her back then, and even today i STILL can't take my eyes off her :-)
Even then she sure was! She's a flawed person (but then again we all are) but there remains something about her that remains so real, her boldness and her self-assuredness. She still makes great records. Her last couple discs are actually better than her 'classic' 80s stuff because they aren't weighed down with empty album filler.
Madonna: The first true trailblazer who knew what she wanted and knew how to get there. Her ambition and determination are still to this day unsurpassed. There will never be another icon of her status again!!!!!
Getting chills everytime. She saw It and they were so off. HAHA Can still see that path today with this times communication social media... The times they are a changing :D
Three decades later she is relevant as ever. Amazing. Madonna made alot of sense. She presented herself really well. That small clip gives a clue as to why she is still around. Plus she was very good looking ofcourse!
i love this woman! i like it how she is defending her point of view and explaining her music. you can see that she is definitely one of the smartest in this bussines, if not the smartest at all - and that is the secret of her success (besides some luck in the beginning) and most notably of her longevity.
This was a couple weeks before she did her VMA performance on MTV. I wonder if any of those artists had any idea they were in the presence of the biggest female star ever and would go on to surpass all of them in music history ???
The self-belief she shows in this video is extraordinary, especially in the company of established stars, like Oates and James Brown. She just KNEW that she was going places, but also that, for good or ill, the music industry was changing so 'get with the program!' She always KNEW you had to move with the times. And looking at this clip almost a quarter of a century later, it's Maadonna who seems so fresh, and the other guys who look like they're desperately clinging onto their careers.
1:49 M's is is referring to the single Everybody (82) that made her debut as a solo artist after the pre-Madonna phase (78-81). When it was released had no M's photo, a R&B tune & voice referred to a black artist.
@@qkqp Guess you weren't around from 1982-1984 when newspapers, radio stations assumed she's black because of her first single Everybody... Gosh you're just clueless about that aren't you?
Used to think I & other young women were prettier with makeup, but the older I get the more I think the opposite. Madonna looks so beautiful on here without the makeup.
@erwcat i was there!! Just seemed there was an explosion of new music Hip Hop,House and dance just to name a few, 1984 was a good year ...HOT summer.lol
And, she phoned a girl dying from cancer every day until she died, was the only singer I am aware of who mentioned the 14 year old girl who was shot by the Taliban, and she does defend people who deserve it, challenges Hall & Oates in the vid which was brave, strong woman, is that what you hate ???
yeah, they were all in 1983, at this exact time, MTV & music videos were new. All bcoz Madonna is a massive recording artist now, people seem to forget, that she was actually part of the whole new revolution of this "new music" and videos way back in the early 80's. The discussion was about Videos taking over the radio, hense that person seying he wanted to be a musician not an actor
Some may see her as being arrogant but I do not. I think it is hilarious she had the nerve to cut James Brown off. I understand why she did Oat's dumbass , basically, he was saying she was not a musician. Look who is laughing now. but, I see someone who was as passionate about music as everyone of them and she felt secure in her vision, no arrogance.
To think this was only 1 month before her now infamous VMA performance. It was obvious then as it is now that she was going to change the music industry and it's standards for women, as well as new and up and coming artists forever 😆
@Ronald McFondle it was the song's title/theme. the performance itself. at the time in music you only had 2 female characters in Pop Music: the girl next door (carlisle) or the quirky geek (lauper) Madonna owned her sexual prowess and wasn't going to make an apology for i or downplay it. THAT'S WHY. you're welcome.
@@TarantulaCandy Olivia Newton John is the one who started the sex theme for pop music. She already put out a famously sexually implicit dance song "Physical" in 1981. Even her music video and lyrics for it was suggestive of sexual intercourse.
@@minty5121 Yes but Olivia never went as far as Madonna did with Justify my love or Erotica. For me it wasn't Olivia but Cher and her exotic skimpy outfits in the 70s together with her music...but hey maybe it was Cleopatra?
No importa lo que haya hecho, Madonna es Madonna y nadie ha podido superarla. Ella nunca ha decaido en su carrera y ahora con 51 anos esta llevando una gira donde baila y baila sin cansarse. Esa mujer es guao, no se ni que decir de ella. Una Diosa quizas?
Hey, i'm from Brazil! We speak portuguese here. WERE A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY. Do u guys have any idea how much people understard foreign songs? Nowadays it's simple to translate. But 30 years ago, a video clip could help me (for example) to understand what songs means. Thats why Madonna is soooooooo damn huge. If u dont speak english, it doesnt matter. U got the picture of all watching. Im sorry! She is really INTERNATIONAL!
Madonna is smart and highly intelligent, she knows what she's talking about. She always said that over in america they could never understand the intelligent side of her music etc.....
The young Madonna is absolutely mesmerizing to watch. Such self-confidence, intelligence, and charisma.
👏👏
No she’s not .
As far as musicians go , she is nothing special.
@ tallbridge - Indeed! 🙂
@@crissieroserose troll
she was amazing back then, and understood that video was the future. her intelligence and thoughtfulness is a joy. LOVE YOU MADONNA
This was 39 years ago! It’s 2023 now and I’m going to see Madonna in concert in September! She’s a survivor for sure. Her hits started when I was in grade school, so I’ve grown up with all her hit songs every part of my life.
How much was your ticket?
Thinking about this the other day. I do enjoy Hall and Oates-so its interesting to see both go back and forth.
She was a visionary and pioneer in field. Right on the pulse and able to leave a lasting legacy of music and videos since then.
She's very confident. Even at 25, she was very sure of herself.
Something to emulate.
she always was that's why she made it her determination ❤️
And in complete control!
People never ever give ehr credit and I find it a shame...she is a pioneer in many ways...she created herself from scratch, as she said so herself "I am my own experiment" no one elses...I think THEN certainly it scared even iconic figures such as James Brown there....this was a woman in rock & roll music not afraid to challenge the "norms"...and look 30 years on, Madonna is still voinv strong because she never gave up on her dreams, her ambition and her motivation....a great music writer and producer in her own right, with a great ear for trends and styles and grooves and working with some insanely cool people....watching this makes me smile....merely two months before the entire world knew MADONNA :-)
and if you ever listen to her voice in early recordings you can tell it was always there.
Daryl Hall and John Oates I used to like them but listing to their b******* go home!

Yeah, Madonna wrote most of her first album by herself. "Lucky Star" was written by her alone and it became her first top five hit of her career. Love her so much.

This was 30 years ago , and she still on top . WOW

+wallody barely lmao...
+machinedrum17 It's not barely, she is one of the few artists that managed to stay that popular and relevant for such a long time.
On top of what, a 20 year old maybe. Madonna is not the Star she was, nobody cares about new music from her. She’s an Instagram star now at best.
In The Beginning Was The Word what??
You can see the drive in her the power. No other female artist will every match her she's amazing ❤
*will ever
I think Madonna is too smart... she actually swept the floor with all of those men!
Coolian they probably thought she was just a one hit wonder and truth is she has sold more records than all those guys

She's always had a brain and used it wisely hooking up with nile rodgers was a perfect match.... Seen chic last year blown away!

Kenny Pham It did not.
The thing is that Madonna included theatrical elements in her concerts.
I could see Madonna earnestly thinking about singing on stage as acting.
@Ronald McFondle I specifically said, "Her reply that performers are acting, too, was cool."
Her first album "Madonna" that had the hits, "Holiday", "Borderline", "Lucky Star". It went on to sell 5 million copies in the USA and stayed on the Billboard 200 album charts for 109 weeks!
One of the many reasons why Madonna is "THE QUEEN"

She sounds so fresh, and simply back then..... before she became a global diva.
FrenchArtAntiques Paris she definitely deserves to be a global diva considering how society has treated her.

She was so avant garde it's amazing! I love her even more now! She really did contribute greatly in changing and shaping the music industry
At the time it seemed she was a Debbie Harry wanna be
But then she did prove she was an innovative artist on her own
She interrupted James Brown. That's nuts. Who else could do that? She's great and her videos are great. There will never be another Madonna!
Her best look, my favourite Madonna era
she is the QUEEN since then...always so well spoken!! smart woman!

great video..thanks, madonna very head steady

Dang! So humble there.
Classic clip. Madonna basically telling the old guard that the music video would be around for a long time whether they liked it or not.
Madonna is smart and highly intelligent, she knows what she's talking about. She always said that over in america they could never understand the intelligent side of her music etc.....
She is sooooooo smart.
