EFMT Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hung Up (EMA's) - Not her best vocals by a long shot, but it's a definitive performance for me. It kicked off the Confessions era, the energy in the room was palpable and she looked AMAZING. I die everytime I see her smile at the end. Sooner or Later (Oscars) - I think we all have that one friend that hates Madonna/says she can't sing, so I've had to refer back to this one many times. Even though you could tell she was nervous, her vocals were fabulous; and assuming the stories are true about how this performance was plagued with difficulties, she really is good when she's pissed off. Future Lovers (Confessions Tour) - There has never been a concert opening like this and there never will be again. Perhaps her best performance visually. Express Yourself (VMA's) - She danced and sang her ass off and gave us a glimpse of what was to come with some subtle vogueing. Vogue (VMA's) - I think anyone else would have used their readily available tour costumes, but Madonna overhauled the entire look and feel of Vogue and the effect was stunning. Like A Virgin (VMA's) - I suppose this one pales slightly next to the rest, but nothing could have set the stage for the rest of her career better. Over and Over (The Virgin Tour) - Again, it probably doesn't stand up too well against all the others, but my earliest memory of Madonna was watching the Virgin Tour on VHS, and this was my favorite. The Super Bowl - I wasn't to keen on it at first, but she performed well, it was received well, and it definitely gave her a boost in popularity and an unprecedented amount of promotion for MDNA. Ray of Light (Oprah) - Another great vocal performance (although some believe it was lip synched). Physical Attraction (Uncle Sam's) - Don't ask me why, I know it's shitty quality and you can barely even see her, but it's the only full performance we have of one of my favorite early tracks.

Probed By Greys Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Bad Girl - SNL I love this performance because its one of M's best vocal performances. Its also special because she performed this during a time when everyone thought she couldn't sing. She was pretty much put in the same category as Britney currently is. This performance made people notice that she could sing well, and of course, after this came Evita. As for my all time favorite performance, nothing says Madonna like this performance: 1) Holiday - Truth Or Dare (Blonde Ambition) 2) Nobody Knows Me - Re-Invention Tour 3) Express Yourself - Truth Or Dare (Blonde Ambition) 4) Vogue - MTV VMA's 5) Bad Girl - SNL 6) Let It Will Be - Live from KoKo 7) Sooner or Later - Oscars 8) Erotica - Girlie Show 9) Papa Don't Preach - Blonde Ambition 10) Don't Tell Me - Drowned World Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
