I still think shes the greatest artist to ever graced this earth, there’s something so amazing about her vocals, they are imperfect, which makes it so perfect. She sings with such an incredible emotion. Saw her about a year ago in Stockholm, Sweden during celebration tour along with 50k other fans. Best concert I’ve ever went to
This is the first time I'm seeing this on 2022. Prince has been my overall leading man since I was a teenager. Very emotional 6 years he's gone now and I'm still part of Prince Purple Rain. Forever and and day 💜! And Madonna never disappoints.
Five Years later, the emotion MADONNA & STEVIE WONDER bring to this Tribute brings tears to my eyes, that is the gift of great Artists vs those with 'technically' better Vocals. They would not do justice to PRINCE's memory.
this makes me cry. when I was a little girl, MJ, Prince and Madonna were my whole world. Now two of them are gone and the last living one of them is singing a tribute to one. It’s too too sad. 😢😢😢
Cyndi Lauper was bigger Icon than Prince, who was not known in Asia. Cyndi Lauper with She Bop and Girls Just Want To Have Fun conquered the whole Asian continent. Before Madonna ruled the world with Like A Virgin.
Madonna you remain my idol! At 62, I can't even remember what I had for breakfast, nevermind remembering lyrics and stage directions, having perfect pitch and more talent than any artist I know, floating elegantly down a flight of stairs on high heels with blazing lights blinding you, having the trim figure of a young girl... I mean,honestly, how the hell do you do it? Thank you for your continued efforts and standards! The respect you show to Prince in this rendition is exceptional. Wishing you decades of reinventing yourself to the delight of humankind. I salute you! Much, much love, beautiful Madge. ❤❤❤❤
@@rockonmadonna she was born with perfect pitch, and she explored her voice, her dancing and her acting to an extent that nobody else did. No one says she can do now what she was able to do. The mere fact that at 62 she can still entertain like this is proof of her extraordinary talent as an artist.
Why do people always go after madonna’s vocals? I mean, for Christ’s sake, give this woman credit, she went from singing lucky star to the score to Evita!! Does she ever get due credit for her immense vocal growth? Nope, they keep trying to insult her legacy. Madonna was I’m sure, quite emotional and nervous and think she did a beautiful & heartfelt tribute to her friend.
I grew up loving Madonna, as a teen I found out her goal was to play Evita about 10 years later it happened and it was magical, she was magical but she got her dream and should have left on that high, everything now just seems so try hard....and trust me I hate saying that
its usually some her moronic fans who cant get over that one interview where Madonna while playing humble said she doesnt have a great voice and that she is about having a view point. Those aged Fairies just wont shut up about that concept because they think they are the only people allowed to be madonnas because they’ve been busting their asses since the Boderline video, while other fans were still in day care centers or pre school.
You can say all you want about Madonna, she’s probably not vocally talented as others but the the emotion she gives when she signs live and her charisma are unmatched. The only one left of a legendary pop trio. Love her ❤️
if she doesnt great vocals, no one would be stupid enough to cast her Evita and she is the best Evita of all time. Plus she has more than Aretha Franklin in her recording of Love Dont Live Here Anymore. If you come to Asia, you will dozens of little girls in rice fields who can beat Mariah and Whitney Huston. There are hundreds of Gay comedians who can hit the high notes of Celine Dion and sing like black singers. But No one has ever dared to impersonate Madonna. Because they cant copy her singing voice. Not one Pop icon in Asia would dare sing Frozen or Live To Tell. They cant even sing Ray Of Light or Vogue. Even Like A Prayer. But Mariah songs and Whitney songs those are Staple in every small town singing contest. Any gay kid can sing Hero or I Will Always Love You. No one would sing Rain or Secret. Because they wont sound good. Now this gospel to everyone.
@@eduardochavacano you are so wrong, it is not easy to sing any of Whitney's songs, I respect your opinion dont get me wrong I love madonna she is a great entertainer, but to compare her with the like of Aretha, and whitney, they're on another level of vocal talent, I cover all their songs when I sing live I'm an 80 child, madonna is so much more fun and easy to do than whitney@aretha
A heartfelt tribute. I broke up with my partner right before this live performance. It means a lot to me, and it's extremely emotional. Those of you who are criticizing the vocals - if Sinead did this performance, you'd be complaining that she wasn't 'big enough' or something else. Give it a rest :)
People keep questioning why Madonna. On her Like a Prayer album, which is considered a legendary concept album, Prince played electric guitar and vocally backed her on a couple, very experimental for the time, songs. She reached one of her many creative peaks, and no one was doing what she was doing, and Prince helped push her there.
@@johnsmitts21 Madonna's quote, "be what men expect you to be, but more importantly be what women expect you to be around other men." She owned this, and that's why she was able to camo herself in her styling. It's fucked up bullshit but they had the same message in the end ab activism. Sometimes u have to look like the opposition so they see some kind of sameness so they realize how stupid they are. Sinead wasn't something the world was used to looking at and that's why she was the scapegoat.
There's No Criticism In Music. Music Is Music. Enjoy the real ones before the legends are no more . Thank you Prince, Michael Jackson and of course the reigning Queen 👑👑Madonna. You ever notice that she has a talent of turning any ballad song or any other song for that matter that if captivates the ears , eyes and soul. She has got rhythm n blues vibes in her system. Thanks for the performance Madonna and Stevie Wonder.
It was perfectly done. It came from her heart. It wasn’t the MTV Awards and etc but a tragic and sad situation. I miss prince and I grew up listening to him. There’s shouldn’t be high expectations but what someone puts in remembering. I was in tears. Great job
She is just as a huge ICON as MJ and Prince, all knew each other, and all hit the scene about the same ERA in time. I was in high school in 1984 when these powerhouse souls influenced music of our generation.
She will always be my favorite performer she is a legend vocals are still Beautiful just like she is 💕💕💕💞💞💞💚💚💚💚💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💜💜💜I think this is awesome she did this Tribute honoring Prince and Stevie Wonder wow did they do that song justice Chills
I never understood why there are folks out there saying that her vocals were "horrible". I thought they were emotional and raw. Very heartfelt. They added so much depth to the tribute. She sounded good. I don't think its fair to compare Prince's version, Sinead's version to Madonna's. They were all sooooo different and sung by 3 completely different singers. With different ranges, styles and voices.
Her voice is better in ray of light ..because the good singer has this vibration echo .her music involves techno/electronic which she use in music album ,so this era she’s use lip sync performance..that’s why some other though she’s bad/horrible singer ..
@@jj-one2048 horrible is your opinion..she make something helping children in Malawi,her life has a purpose rather that critical someone’s voice ..what is your?
I think her vocals are the best ive heard from her. She does her thing ! I like the whole picture! I appreciate Madonna because she works hard to give it her all!
Madonna is a brilliant woman. I idolized her growing up and so many of her songs hit my heart. She may not be the best singer but she is a true performer and puts her heart and soul into everything she does. She is one of the most passionate people out there and songs she wrote are brilliant!!!! LOVE HER!!!!!!! XOXO
Most great singers in our era dead, Prince, MJ, David Bowie, Freddie M. Its rare for a woman (a single mom and a great entertainer) to reach this achievement. Hope she stays healthy and inspire more
Am I Not Your Girl and Erotica were way ahead of their time. I have to give props to Madonna and Sinead O Conner for what they stood up and believed in. Also during Madonna and 50 cents fight. She both criticized her actions but then brought up not to give female artists discrimination.
I mean, being over 60+, singing in a whole different key than usual, this was good. And no one other than Madonna would be fitted for this. I applaud her! 👸🏼
Yes people. Madonna is the greatest. And now you know why. I mean, this performance was so emotional, raw and heartfelt that prove us all once more that she doesnt need to have the greatest vocals to be one of the greatest vocalists. She is still alive. She is still creating. She is still here disturbing our peace. That's why Madonna is and will always be the biggest artist the world has ever known. Much respect to the ultimate living legend!
It's not about vocal ability it's about sincerity in one's vocals which madonna has always had. I can feel her heart in every word she sings. What bothers me do much is the amount of hate she gets from other women. Build each other up ladies cause believe me men will tear you down. Maybe I'm wrong x
Très belle interprétation très perso de Madonna, pourtant je n aime pas son répertoire habituelle, ms elle a une très belle voix, on le voit ds cette reprise
I thought she did a brilliant job. I would love to see the naysayers do as good a job as she did on this Prince song. Plus, all the sad emotions that she must have been feeling. Bravo Madonna!!
Madonna the Queen indeed, since the 80s forty years of the best videoclips, the best lyrics, the best dancing, the best shows, Madonna nobody compares to you 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Beautiful tribute ❤️ Madonna’s vocals are so raw and emotional 😭 say what you want about her vocal capabilities but Madonna has a talent of making you feel the emotion in her voice. A talent the majority of artists lack these days
Every time more and more i developed such respect for Madonna .. never been a huge fan .. however i always like her music ..when you see two legends paying respect to a legend.. you see .. they did something extremely high to deserve it ..
I adore Madonna and I adore Prince, this would have surely been his favourite version, Madonna is a perfect fit and totally believable to the way she has lived💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Amazing! A living legend paying tribute to another legend. I was an 80's teenager and Madonna, Prince, and Michael Jackson provided the soundtrack to my life. They still do. By the way, they were all born in the same year.
No, her voice isn't the greatest but it was a sincere, heartfelt tribute. Also, Sinead set the bar on how this song should be performed, so I would not expect any other version to hold up to it.
Back when Sinead O'Connor released this (and I knew Prince had written it), I ALWAYS wondered what Madonna would have done with it. This was a pretty damn emotional tribute. I really liked it.
The audience singing purple rain. Prince his crowds singing too him in concerts. How mind blowing too him that must of been, the world lost so much. RIP sweet Prince. It's been hard knowing you'll never make another concert or smile that sexy smile. RIP sweet Prince.
I don't know why but this performance got me emotional, more than others I've seen giving him a tribute. And even if it's not 'good musically to my taste' (except for Stevie's voice, still so good after all these years wtf). I like the creativity choices they made with the beat on NC2U, Prince was all about not replaying the past, so it felt right to feel a bit more creativity peaking into this cover. Then I would have never expected Stevie joining Madonna. Stevie and Madonna both represents a part of Prince's music, outside of his music those parts rarely meet, and so watching this, it felt right to see them together, it holds a lot of spiritual meaning, not only in regards to Prince, but in regards to all the things that are for no reason segregated, and don't get a chance to meet...
IMPACTANTE E HISTORICA PERFORMANCE, DOS LEYENDAS VIVAS DE LA MÚSICA DANDO UN EMOTIVO TRIBUTO A OTRA INOLVIDABLE Y ETERNA SUPER ESTRELLA!!..😍👍 🎧😎⭐⭐🎵✨🎶✨🎶✨✨🌟
I’m surprised how well she did this. I’m not a big Madonna fan but this performance was emotional and raw. Her voice really worked with what are difficult songs. Vocalists today can be quite blandly perfect. This has character and emotion which is needed for these tunes.
Madonna viendo como los cantantes de su generación se van yendo .. Michael Jackson, Whitney , Prince , George Michael .... Ojalá la tengamos por mucho más.
Wow,I have nothing seen wrong the way she sang Madonna is Madonna she is a professional singer as well every singer has a strange talent and style, that's why every concerts of Madonna is a FirstClass! not just a song but a concert one too is controversial and always goes viral!!!🥰🥰🥰
Madonna has never been an outstanding vocalist as compared to Barbra, Celine and Whitney. But she will always render songs with the right and powerful emotions - listen to her ballads. She will always be a performer, yes at times off key, but will always magnify a powerful character on stage. Hence, queen.
"Madonna has never been an outstanding vocalist as compared to Barbra, Celine and Whitney." God, I really bored with these comments. Neither Bruce Springsteen, Phil Collins or Mick Jagger is a good vocalist.
@@francesopintore2073 Phil Collins not a good vocalist?? Not only is his voice very distinctive, but his live performances sound like his album versions.
Donna Summer RIP was (and will forever be) the QUEEN OF DISCO👑✨ Have you heard her voice? - better than the three you mentioned, combined. Madonna remains the QUEEN OF POP👑✨ and her tone of VOICE is beautiful and so easily recognizable and every lyric she SINGS is heard. For the first time, I actually heard the words to “Nothing Compares 2 U”. PRINCE💜 you are so dearly missed by your fans! Rest in Heaven…
I’m sick of hearing this Moronic statement that Madonna doesnt have a great voice. Madonna on one interview played humble by saying that she doesnt have a great voice, 1 interview. And Madonna fans proud to have seen that interview in their Black and White TV set, never stop using it as Reference for a Biblical truth. This thought is Moronic for approximately 24 reasons. By I shall give you one. A great voice is not merely hitting high notes, Whitney can’t whistle! If its just Vocal range then Celine and Mariah will perish before Cyndi Lauper who can break glass with her screech. But Cyndi is not like Celine who sounds like a goat getting strangled. Point is, hitting high notes is so common. 9 out 10 transgender drag queen in places like Manila can mimic Mariah and Celine. But not one gay person in such society has ever attempted to sing like Madonna. For several decades, Filipinos on Television can sing like famous Pop Divas (gay impersonators). But Madonna being the #1 gay icon, not one person can copy her. I might decide to make history soon.
I still think shes the greatest artist to ever graced this earth, there’s something so amazing about her vocals, they are imperfect, which makes it so perfect. She sings with such an incredible emotion. Saw her about a year ago in Stockholm, Sweden during celebration tour along with 50k other fans. Best concert I’ve ever went to
Madonna is the only one still alive of the mega-super-pop stars of the 80's
Absolutely...I always say she is the last surviving pop giant 👑👑👑 RIP Micheal prince and Whitney
No, not true. Mick Hucknall is still going. His voice is outstanding. There are more, too.
Beautiful tribute by Madonna ❤ R.I.P. Prince
A memorable performance by Madonna to honor Prince and Sinead O'Connor
For this particular generation, it was a Trinity : MJ, Prince and Madonna. So it was fitting that she gave this Tribute!
I think George Michael is part of the squad.
and Whitney
We also have Janet.
Janet wont be eased…
Absolutely!
This is the first time I'm seeing this on 2022. Prince has been my overall leading man since I was a teenager. Very emotional 6 years he's gone now and I'm still part of Prince Purple Rain. Forever and and day 💜!
And Madonna never disappoints.
I've got goosebumps. True Madonna style. She made the songs her own.
A beautiful tribute to a titan from two titans. Unforgettable.
"Welcome to the dawn."
I loved her outfit for this performance. Really inspired by Prince. ❤️
Her outfit from Live Aid was designed by Prince.
In an interview after that performance,
She said the tailor made suit she wore here,
was a gift from Prince from the mid 1980s.
It's vintage.
Hers version of "Nothing Compares 2 U" was inspired by Sinead O'Connor. 🤷♂️
and that's what's good in that performance
just a friend paying respect to another friend - beautiful
That performance is iconic! The queen paying tribute to the Prince! Such a heartfelt performance!
Such a beautiful and touching tribute. Prince and Madonna are two of the most iconic artists of the 80s
Five Years later, the emotion MADONNA & STEVIE WONDER bring to this Tribute brings tears to my eyes, that is the gift of great Artists vs those with 'technically' better Vocals. They would not do justice to PRINCE's memory.
Only a queen can tribute to a prince...Madonna and Prince are legend forever and wherever...Love Song, Nothing Compare 2 U and Purple Rain...chills!
this makes me cry. when I was a little girl, MJ, Prince and Madonna were my whole world. Now two of them are gone and the last living one of them is singing a tribute to one. It’s too too sad. 😢😢😢

She definitely had her off times singing and her very good times
It's easy to hate on Madonna. Few segments of society appreciate female sexuality. It must be viewed through the lense of male sexuality.

Amazing! A living legend paying tribute to another legend. I was an 80's teenager and Madonna, Prince, and Michael Jackson provided the soundtrack to my life. They still do. By the way, they were all born in the same year.
We need more madonna more Prince and Steve Wonder music is peace
Madonna is underrated. Her and Stevie together wow. Beautiful tribute. PRINCE 👑
This is just wonderful. Thank you so much. I love watching Madonna get ready to perform. It is so moving here.
That was a GREAT tribute!!!
The Queen of POP---- ALWAYS DELIVERS!!!💖
No, her voice isn't the greatest but it was a sincere, heartfelt tribute. Also, Sinead set the bar on how this song should be performed, so I would not expect any other version to hold up to it.
listen to prince its the best version....
So true
I love only sinead O'Connor for this song ever
So true. I still enjoy and know that its sentimental...
brilliant energy
I feel like this tribute wasnt her idea, but she is the only contemporary of Prince. No one else was prepared to do it, and she truly loved him.
We love you Madonna
We miss you prince. Rest in peace
Great to see Steve wonder
Madonna beautiful and amazing! Queen of pop forever 💕
Back when Sinead O'Connor released this (and I knew Prince had written it), I ALWAYS wondered what Madonna would have done with it. This was a pretty damn emotional tribute. I really liked it.
She was mean to Sinéad. I’ll never forget that.
Strange Prince wrote it..he died..Chris cornel and Sinaed O’Conner both covered it and they both died..all 3 died at such young ages..
Put it out of your head quick.
This Was A Beautiful Tribute To Prince 😥😔😟🙁
Emotive performance… just wonderful ❤
She's the Queen!
The audience singing purple rain. Prince his crowds singing too him in concerts. How mind blowing too him that must of been, the world lost so much. RIP sweet Prince. It's been hard knowing you'll never make another concert or smile that sexy smile. RIP sweet Prince.
I don't know why but this performance got me emotional, more than others I've seen giving him a tribute. And even if it's not 'good musically to my taste' (except for Stevie's voice, still so good after all these years wtf). I like the creativity choices they made with the beat on NC2U, Prince was all about not replaying the past, so it felt right to feel a bit more creativity peaking into this cover. Then I would have never expected Stevie joining Madonna. Stevie and Madonna both represents a part of Prince's music, outside of his music those parts rarely meet, and so watching this, it felt right to see them together, it holds a lot of spiritual meaning, not only in regards to Prince, but in regards to all the things that are for no reason segregated, and don't get a chance to meet...
Outstanding cover!
She is so good. She is THE best. She is the queen
Delusional fanboy
Amazing! Lindo de viver... Maravilhosa 🌹
I remember the media saying her performance was bad but I thought she rocked it!!! Great ballad singer!!! One of the best!!!
it doesn't even come close to how Sinead O'Connor sang it.
This was such a beautiful tribute for an incredible artist by another. Madonna looks regal and she gives a perfect performance. She’s the Queen.
Madonna is amazing! Is a very talen and powerful woman! I love this spirit! From Buenos aires Maddy

A wonderful tribute - Still sounding good in her 60s - 👍👍👍
she was 57 here
This is the most emotional and heart-felt performance Madonna has ever delivered. Simply outstanding.
Billboard 2016 how come I didn’t see this before?? Omg! Such a beautiful performance ❤️
I’m surprised how well she did this. I’m not a big Madonna fan but this performance was emotional and raw. Her voice really worked with what are difficult songs. Vocalists today can be quite blandly perfect. This has character and emotion which is needed for these tunes.
Such an emotional performance!
Madonna viendo como los cantantes de su generación se van yendo .. Michael Jackson, Whitney , Prince , George Michael .... Ojalá la tengamos por mucho más.
Es la triste realidad 😭
And Sinéad O'Connor 😢❤❤❤
😢😢😢 wonderful interpretation, tears fall down...waouw
This was absolutely beautiful
it is magic!! i love madonna so much! be healthy and take care u beatiufull soul! 🥰❤
❤i love madonna voices includ her fals.
Beautiful tribute
Wow,I have nothing seen wrong the way she sang Madonna is Madonna she is a professional singer as well every singer has a strange talent and style, that's why every concerts of Madonna is a FirstClass! not just a song but a concert one too is controversial and always goes viral!!!🥰🥰🥰
i love my queen and i know millions of her fans all around the world we will stick together supporting the queen of pop till the end
Her voice is beautifully emotional, sometimes theatrical
It was too beautiful, tribute to the prince, I love you Madonna, Iam from Brazil
The fact that there was an unspoken respect from Prince to Whitney to Madonna to Michael., and at times worked together doesn't get the public dues.
I felt this, amazing tribute the duet with Stevie is so emotional thanks guys. REST IN PEACE AND LOVE PRINCE 🤴
Sigan mostrando esta interpretacuon de Madonna es un previlegio verla e escucharla que deleita de voz👍😘😘😘
This was beautiful 😍. I love purple rain
Que gran interpretacion de la gran MADONNA con el tema de Oconor. 👍😘😘😘
❤️ Awesome ❤️ especially her rendition of Nothing compares 2U
So much better than having to hear Jennifer Hudson scream her way thru Purple Rain. ☔️
Awesome tribute!
Una de las mejores adaptaciones de esta canción! RIP O'Connor
Queen..Queen...Queen..
Madonna is an incredible artist!
Queen 👑
Prince 😥💔 obrigado minha diva pela este homenagem ❤️💓
Madonna has never been an outstanding vocalist as compared to Barbra, Celine and Whitney. But she will always render songs with the right and powerful emotions - listen to her ballads. She will always be a performer, yes at times off key, but will always magnify a powerful character on stage. Hence, queen.
"Madonna has never been an outstanding vocalist as compared to Barbra, Celine and Whitney." God, I really bored with these comments. Neither Bruce Springsteen, Phil Collins or Mick Jagger is a good vocalist.
Really? Madonna is a very power ..your voice mouve the world and spirits baby ❤️
@@francesopintore2073 Phil Collins not a good vocalist?? Not only is his voice very distinctive, but his live performances sound like his album versions.
Donna Summer RIP was (and will forever be) the QUEEN OF DISCO👑✨ Have you heard her voice? - better than the three you mentioned, combined.
Madonna remains the QUEEN OF POP👑✨ and her tone of VOICE is beautiful and so easily recognizable and every lyric she SINGS is heard. For the first time, I actually heard the words to “Nothing Compares 2 U”.
PRINCE💜 you are so dearly missed by your fans! Rest in Heaven…
I’m sick of hearing this Moronic statement that Madonna doesnt have a great voice. Madonna on one interview played humble by saying that she doesnt have a great voice, 1 interview. And Madonna fans proud to have seen that interview in their Black and White TV set, never stop using it as Reference for a Biblical truth. This thought is Moronic for approximately 24 reasons. By I shall give you one. A great voice is not merely hitting high notes, Whitney can’t whistle! If its just Vocal range then Celine and Mariah will perish before Cyndi Lauper who can break glass with her screech. But Cyndi is not like Celine who sounds like a goat getting strangled. Point is, hitting high notes is so common. 9 out 10 transgender drag queen in places like Manila can mimic Mariah and Celine. But not one gay person in such society has ever attempted to sing like Madonna. For several decades, Filipinos on Television can sing like famous Pop Divas (gay impersonators). But Madonna being the #1 gay icon, not one person can copy her. I might decide to make history soon.
Madonna is timeless and at 65 she’s beautiful
