Jazzy Jan Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Always a great blast from the past to see this. I do feel that Madonna looked so nervous but still carried it off wonderfully with her charisma and appeal. One of the most talked about performances at an awards show in history.
Guest eroticerotic Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 lol she just walked off stage, no bow or thank you, just untangled her dress and walked off LOLOL
vocalism Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 ^ You can hear her quietly say thank you and then she turns to make a gesture at the crowd halfway across the stage, but yeah... awkward exit.
Genevieve Vavance Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 where would mtv be without that performance?
Guest bluejean Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Wow. I've never seen the complete intro and exit. I love how she kicks off her shoes. And the way she works those cameras in the final part. And showing leg/arse at the end. Without a doubt the hottest woman in rock. Yes, I agree she was definitely nervous but the GP couldn't tell that. I'm assuming this is a recent recording cos I've never seen it in such pristine quality?
Kurt420 Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 And this is where it all began in so many ways. The importance of this performance to her career can never be overstated! This pretty much set the tone for her entire career, not to mention it set the tone for future VMA's in general. I agree, she did seem a bit nervous and that ending/exit is classic.....lol. The audience literally didn't know whether to clap or not. You can hear the shock in their hesitation, they didn't know wtf they just witnessed. She's so beautiful and exudes so much sexuality, I could watch it over and over! Classic!!
PaulaAbdul Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 I first became a true Madonna fan when I watched this clip. I remember coming home from school when I was like 13 and someone had made some obscure Madonna reference during the day so I decided to YouTube her and this VMA performance came up…what a good and fitting introduction to the Queen.
MerGirl Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 She's a natural born performer/entertainer. It's just her and a wedding cake, yet she never makes you lose interest. Her charisma and sex appeal will never be matched.
mamifero Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 I never get tired of watching this :wow: :wow: :clap: :clap:
madonnasuperfan01 Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Such an iconic performance, probably the most important of her career. Without it Like a Virgin may not have been the hit it became, it really started the whole Madonna phenomenon. It was also one of the biggest risks she took, it could have backfired REALLY badly. Thank God it didn't.
mamifero Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Wow. I've never seen the complete intro and exit. I love how she kicks off her shoes.

Yes, I agree she was definitely nervous but the GP couldn't tell that. I'm assuming this is a recent recording cos I've never seen it in such pristine quality? And she puts them back on again. Flawless.
madgemusic85 Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 The audience was speechless, thinking her career was over the second the performance was over.
Mattress Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 An amazing moment in her career. FRESH AND LIKE ZAT! [/gaultier]
FurnStar Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Not only was this her first legendary career performance but it was also her first notable business savvy move. The song hadn't been released yet so she was expected to perform her latest single which at that time was Borderline, but instead she chose her up coming brand new single which had never been heard before and delivered it like a boss....then when it was released a short while later it went to number 1 :bow:
Guest Ivy Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Blush poor Daryl and John Oates who had to follow that performance. Even being called queen back than after 1 album, that host had great insight!
