HA, nice save. She made the false start blend into the choreography nicely.

Not to hijack but... Mariah's has to be the all time worst funniest.

is this one of the very few times when she performed a single from a former album while promoting a new one?????

[IsaacHarris]

YES MOMDONNA. She is so tipsy mother of two there, hip thrusting in gauchos & shoulder shimmying. Those flashing lights kicked thangs up another notch!

She perfomed Don't Tell Me numerous times during that promo tour...

Not at all. Within this specific era, she did far more promotional performances on TV world-wide than she's probably ever done. She usually would end her set by saying she was told to perform an oldie, so she switched it up at each appearance and performed songs like "Like A Prayer" at the Mtv: On The Record. "Like A Virgin" while promoting in the Virgin Record store. She also performed "Music" and "Don't Tell Me" on various shows.

She pretty much started doing this when she started doing promotional tours again with her records, starting with MUSIC album. "Holiday" was performed at promotional club shows.

Fast Forward, and while doing promotional performances for Confessions... album, she performed "Everybody". And on her Hard Candy promo tour, she performed "Hung Up" and "Music".

That would be "Hollywood" from Top of the Pops babe! Can't embed DailyMotion but here's the link:

2:05-2:23 is basically my mother after two glasses of red wine -

The Johnathon Ross perf of Hollywood is pretty legendary, with her resting her chin on the mic stand.

[Apples388]

And I must admit that when I am perfing "Music" myself, I generally tend to tap into the frequency of this performance and use those moves. I also lip-synch to the "Do you like to / Boogie Woogie" like she does here for a split second and then doesn't bother anymore.

However, I do not make the mistake of lip-synching too early.

Definitely one of the all time best! And who can forget those beautiful embryonic crow vox? Here, the crow is trying to echo the sparrow effect used in the song and it comes across as an injured sparrow / mutant robin / crow in sparrow's clothing.

And she fucks up the lyrics in 1:13

[Ai Papi Si.]

Fuck that was great. Soccer Mom Madonna is hilarious

[Mattress]

Fab era.
