This was a milestone in her career. One of her biggest songs ever, still loved and played nowadays. Was #1 in Europe and #4 in the US. Not bad for the fifth single of an album released a year earlier. This album was sooo good, this could easily be a first single but she had so much to choose from. Iconic 80s classic for sure. Timeless
This was such a HUGE hit in the 80s.. it's probably her most streamed song/video.. gorgeous melody.. it's one of her most performed tracks too ..the sticky and sweet tour version is amazing
Do you think the Sticky and Sweet tops the Girlie Show rendition? The GS performance remains my absolute favourite and to my mind, one of her most dynamic live performances ever!
Yes, she has had spectacular versions of this 1986 hit through her tours including S&S, but my personal favorite is the 2001 Drowned World Tour (DWT) where she performed it in flamenco style with choreography that brought the house down. In that final Spanish segment of DWT, she also performed an awesome Lo Que Siente La Mujer (What It Feels Like for a Girl) with an an all-female tango choreography that evoked of female empowerment. IMO she’s simply a genius of a music writer and performance artist.
Madonna has had an enduring natural affinity and passion for Hispanic/Latin music, art and culture that has influenced her throughout her life and career. She co-wrote this 1986 hit of an imaginary idyllic island of San Pedro while she was living in seaside Malibu, CA with her then husband Sean Penn. While developing and recording her True Blue album, she would drive to/from home and the recording studio in Los Angeles using the north/south Freeway 110 that passes through downtown LA. She revealed in an interview, that while writing the lyrics for La Isla Bonita she used the word “San Pedro” from the freeway off-ramp signage “TO SAN PEDRO” which is where the 110 FWY ends and is the location of the port of LA.
While it wasn't her biggest hit during the era of it was released (True Blue), it eventually became one of her most popular songs as the years progressed. When this was released, her status as a iconic pop star, had already sky rocketed. Her peak definitely came a few years later, but this was the transition between Pop Madonna and artistic Madonna. This has become a staple song for Madonna on many of her tours. It's definitely one of her favorite songs and she has since tried to duplicate that latin flavor in future songs being she loves Latin music. Quick tidbit... this song while only in it's instrumental demo state, was originally offered to Michael Jackson. He passed on it, and it eventually fell in the hands of Madonna and she wrote lyrics for it. This particular video is her most streamed video even more than Vogue, Like A Virgin and Like A Prayer.
This is THE SONG of Madonna's life, each weak it garners 2-3Million more views on TH-cam. I have clear memories on how big this one was, it really catapulted her into mega stardom. One hit after another, each one bigger & bigger, not slowing, constantly raising the pace, people today are not aware wgat she's achieved! From that moment on she was in the Michael Jackson league of LEGENDS. At least in my humble opinion. She was here to stay!
Germans have a thing for Latins things and music anyway, i don't think many people realize it. Madonna's biggest hit in Germany was Hung Up though i believe, it was #1 for 9 weeks beating even La Isla Bonita.
The next single she released after this was sort of a sequel or a sister of this. It was called “Who’s That Girl?” and should get a reaction also. :) That’s the thing about Madonna’s heyday from ‘83-‘91… each video/song she released built on the one that came before it.
Ooh...I'd love to see them react to the live version...the Who's That Girl Tour cemented my Madonna obsession at 5 years old ❤ In particular her performance of The Look of Love
@@lutalice the Who’s That Girl show is a master class in performance. Sometimes I feel Madonna is lost in later shows as the technology is so intense. This Show, and Blond Ambition are almost perfect.
Was supposed to be for Michael Jackson, but he rejected it, Madonna revamped it and made it her own, one of the co-writers: Bruce Gaitch (dunno if spelling is correct?) Also co-wrote I Stand Alone for Agnetha Faltskog which has a very similar Spanish feel. Madonna I think has said La Isla Bonita is her favourite song, and she certainly has included it in many of her tour productions. In the UK at this time (1987) Madonna could do no wrong, this was her 3rd No’1 off the True Blue album. Her stadium tour of the Uk was hyped to high heaven, and Madonna didn’t need to even do interviews she was so newsworthy. What is interesting is in this era of the 80s, it was all about being iconic and elusive like Michael Jackson, almost larger than life. Madonna would deconstruct this image by 1991 by filming Truth Or Dare which lifted the veil of celebrity. She probably was the blueprint for all the reality and fly on the wall documentaries that are around now.
Hi bobtrouper,nice infos(confirming mines too).Btw M.Jackson also wanted Agnetha amongst others to duet for his I Just can't stop loving you but A wasn't available.He had propably 'marked' her after The filming of Abba in Swizerland special were Both Abba and Jackons 5 were filming same period for their tvspecial bits in early 1979.Hugs.
@@alexioverdo5225 I did hear that Michael Jackson rumour, didn’t know if it was true. I’ve always looked for a connection between ABBA and MJ. The only thing I have seen is Bjorn saying that Quincy Jones approached Benny & Bjorn to write a song for Thriller album. That would have been a really interesting combination!!
@@bobtrouper ohhh!really?didn't know that?!good to know.Thriller is a best seller album(about 70million estimated sales).That would have been damned glorious,shame it didn't happen.
"True Blue"(nice 50s style video with actress Debbie Mazar) "Material Girl"(she was the first person to sing upside down before 5O Cent) "Lucky Star" video that showcases Madonna's dancing background.🎶🎵👍
One of my very favourites by Madonna ! .. Love the melody line and the feel of it .. Thanks for the reaction, and this is definitely playlist worthy .. Would suit Summer / Holiday / Latin / Chilled music listings .. I'd like to think Marissa's "8" was totally based on the song, but I suspect she gave a point or 2 to the guitarist !😉😅
@TylerCreatesContent Yes, I saw this afterward! So glad you are experiencing the music of Madonna. As many have said, she is a trailblazer. I can't imagine a world without her music. Check out "Inside of Me" from her "Bedtime Stories" album. Great song about her mother watching over her. Also, "The Look of Love" is one of her more underrated songs.
This is a classic. Everybody knows this iconic bop and its one of the most recognizable Madonnas songs. One of her most important, actually. Its a mood! She has reinvented it in every concert tour she has performed it.
I’m excited for you both to start reacting to live performances from her colossal, incredible, unrivaled concerts. It’s an absolute treat. There is no one that compares to Madonna live. No one.
G'day it's Steven from Down Under again A popular song that charted highly circa 1986, Madonna has always had a fascination with Latin music too. I recall at the time not only enjoying this song, both it's regular version but also the longer 12 inch single version too, however I used to think "be careful Madonna, your bloody gown is gonna catch fire when you're rolling around on the floor next to those lit candles"...just saying. All hail the Queen of Pop!
I love your reactions guys 🙂❤ I have two requests; they're both live performances from 1987 (Who's That Girl Tour). One is The Look of Love (a beautiful haunting ballad), the other is Holiday, an energetic, joyful performance that captures her incredible stage presence. There's nothing I love more than seeing Madonna exuding pure joy and happiness on stage ❤
Great reaction! La Isla Bonita is one of Madonna's best! Marissa, since you love the spanish guitar, you'll want to check out the song Pray for Spanish Eyes from Madonna's Like a Prayer album. It was not released as a main single, so there's no video, but it's a beautiful song
After this song peak #01 in UK back in 1987 Madonna became the female artist with most #01's in UK (her first #01 was only in 1985) breaking the record British singer Sandie Shawn was holding since 1967 (for 20 years). As 2022 (35 years later) Madonna stil holds the record as female artist with Most #01 Hit in UK Chart.
I think you should do a reaction to her other lesser known 2000s song like "Hollywood" , "Love Profusion" or "Jump" . Those are upbeat songs which are quite contemporary.
You should definitely check out the live version of this from the Re-invention Tour. Such a powerful and controversial performance with so much symbolism and meaning.
It's just a great fun song, it makes you wanna move and it makes you smile..what more could you want from a song..I noticed you smiled through the whole song with those adorable dimples..
*stupid comment much?* *1st off this song is from 86... long before Evita was ever even a 'thing'. Madonna's catalogue contains MANY spanish influences, before during & after Evita.* *she's always said she knows she was latin in another lifetime.*
I think Marissa would LOVE the live version of this song. There’s also a gorgeous guitar player with long hair and great guitar skills. Look it up (Girlie Show version). xo
This is pure ABBA and in my top 3/5 of my list from her.Mainstream press of the time had observed this while reviewing the single by writting comments such as...'This is as close to Abba as Madonna to her mother tongue' and another one kinda wrote it's 'Flavoured with Fernado with a few dashes of Chiquitita'(Both UK music press).Agnetha's partner co-wrote this fine gem btw.
@Marvin Quezada if you ask me it deserves it.And to my personal opinion,this is the best song in the TB album andi estimate that along with some 4 more tracks have aged decently well becoming classics.Of course as i said it's a personal estimation since it's just a question of taste and anyone can think different.
@alexioverdo.Yes i remember reading such comments in Smash hits and No1 magazine reviews.Additional songwriiting credits for this also belong to Bruce Gaitsch (Abba's Agnetha's mate)And i certainly get Abba vibes in the melody and the beautiful vocal arrangements.Very good production.What about LOVE PROFUSION as the next plz!
@@addersdewinter7495 Well maybe got inspired,She even did an unexpected Abba cover from the VISITORS albumin between the RAY and the MUSIC period, produced by W.Orbit.'Like an angel passing' but didn't release it at the time until it got leaked later on.And i admit i got lil surprised cause she kinda snobbed them for a while in a '90s interview. but seems she finally gave in.It's a good cover sounds like a tender lullaby.
American Life video wasn’t banned, Madonna withdrew it herself. La Isla Bonita was originally presented to Michael Jackson but he rejected it. I now think it would be very weird if Michael would sing it HeeHee Shamoan😂 First latin inspired Madonna song, more to follow, most of them nothing close to La Isla Bonita with Spanish Lesson hitting an all time low😂
@Marvin Quezada I like Medellin☺️ and totally deleted I’m going bananas, thank you for putting it back in my head….NOT😉Why’s it so hard (which title implied something so different being on Erotica) has nice reggae vibes, not latin but there are crossovers. What about Evita. I can’t handle that album but it has some latin reference.😅
La Isla Bonita / Letras Principais resultados Como puede ser verdad Last night I dreamt of San Pedro Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song A young girl with eyes like the desert It all seems like yesterday, not far away Tropical the island breeze All of nature wild and free This is where I long to be La isla bonita And when the samba played The sun would set so high Ring through my ears and sting my eyes Your Spanish lullaby I fell in love with San Pedro Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me Te dijo te amo I prayed that the days would last They went so fast Tropical the island breeze All of nature wild and free This is where I long to be La isla bonita And when the samba played The sun would set so high Ring through my ears and sting my eyes Your Spanish lullaby I want to be where the sun warms the sky When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by Beautiful faces, no cares in this world Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl Last night I dreamt of San Pedro It all seems like yesterday, not far away Tropical the island breeze All of nature wild and free This is where I long to be La isla bonita And when the samba played The sun would set so high Ring through my ears and sting my eyes Your Spanish lullaby Tropical the island breeze All of nature wild and free This is where I long to be La isla bonita And when the samba played The sun would set so high Ring through my ears and sting my eyes Your Spanish lullaby La la la la la la la Te dijo te amo La la la la la la la El dijo que te ama
Actually, "bonita", means "pretty", this video has a profund spiritual simbolism... People around dancing represents spirits resting in Heaven, that's why they're just dancing so Happy. And Madonna represents a girl about to die, hopping for God's caress... When the video starts, you can find a woman in black, wearing a White mask, she represents death anda Evil, defated by God. Just amazing piece of work...

At least in my humble opinion.
She was here to stay!
La isla bonita is a grower when you first hear it and this was one of her biggest hits back in 1986!
This is her biggest hit ever here in France it was #1 for 3 weeks in a row. Always loved the latin elements to it
Her voice sounds so beautiful on this
The Germans loved it very much, it was number one for 5 weeks, I think even Madonna haters liked it...

Yeh Madonna was so much invested in her music that she would release two Spanish pastiche songs in a row.
Yes,that was another good one,could quite addictively stick in your ear at the time.The comedy film was quite amusing too.

This from probably the best pop album ever, True Blue. It's all pure pop. You should try the title track True Blue its very 60s girl band
La Isla Bonita, es mi canción favorita de Madonna. Gracias por comentarla. Éxitos

Very sensual and very catchy
My mom had a restaurant in LA and Madonna did her video Borderline in my grandmother’s restaurant.
You should definitely check out the live version of this from the Re-invention Tour. Such a powerful and controversial performance with so much symbolism and meaning.
One of her best and most unusual.
It's just a great fun song, it makes you wanna move and it makes you smile..what more could you want from a song..I noticed you smiled through the whole song with those adorable dimples..
@Marvin Quezada Yes it is a masterpiece song!
“I’ve never heard it before “ 😮😮😮whaaaatttt
Mega mega mega 💃🕺💞💘💖💓💝🌾🍃 Classic the world over. Total romance from a to z..
Open your heart
Madonna recorded a slew of Spanish themed songs in the year before she was cast in Evita. Auditioning in public for Andrew Lloyd Webber much?
This was from 10 years before Evita though
*stupid comment much?*
*1st off this song is from 86... long before Evita was ever even a 'thing'. Madonna's catalogue contains MANY spanish influences, before during & after Evita.*
*she's always said she knows she was latin in another lifetime.*
I just subbed to your channel. I love Madonna songs she's my favorite
Even though I like this song I love the version she did on her Confessions Tour the most
Fun fact for you, cowritten by Bruce Gaitsch, who co produced Agnetha’s 1987 album and was even her boyfriend for a short while.
Thanks, Marissa! Thanks, Tyler! 🏝 My friends and I wrote a parody of this song in college. #TylerCreatesContent #LaIslaBonita #Madonna
One of the best songs
React to Gambler by Madonna. It's pure 80s fire
I think Marissa would LOVE the live version of this song. There’s also a gorgeous guitar player with long hair and great guitar skills. Look it up (Girlie Show version). xo
Uhm i think that was drwoned tour
En Costa Rica fue #1 por 13 semanas consecutivas en el año 1987.
deeper and deeper should be next .. the song and video are awesome
The best
Also, look for actor Benicio del Toro at the end (sitting on the car)
You are so freakin' adorable Tyler....i love love love your smile

La Isla Bonita means The pretty island, in spanish.
Un Clasico
What was the Latin solo she mentioned?
Asturias by Isaac Albéniz
I remember at the time her hair was super short because she had to cut it off because of over bleaching it
I like your Charlie Brown Xmas tree.. 😆
American Life video wasn’t banned, Madonna withdrew it herself.
La Isla Bonita was originally presented to Michael Jackson but he rejected it. I now think it would be very weird if Michael would sing it HeeHee Shamoan😂

Como puede ser verdad
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
A young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
Te dijo te amo
I prayed that the days would last
They went so fast
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
I want to be where the sun warms the sky
When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby

Just simply one of the greatest 80's songs and videos we are talking about. I think you should really document about it before reacting to.
Madonna-Spanish eyes
ABBA dancing queen
I am curious. I see Prime in the background. Do you guys watch the Sidemen?
Salsa dress? Omg no! Is a tipical spanish flamenco dress from de South os Spain, si different than the salsa

Actually, "bonita", means "pretty", this video has a profund spiritual simbolism... People around dancing represents spirits resting in Heaven, that's why they're just dancing so Happy. And Madonna represents a girl about to die, hopping for God's caress... When the video starts, you can find a woman in black, wearing a White mask, she represents death anda Evil, defated by God. Just amazing piece of work...
where samba plays🇧🇷
How come you never heard this one? It's like Billie Jean.
