Levon 2,226 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Technically it might be the Evita era. But I love her voice when it sounds not too perfect, more fragile and broken (Oh Father, You'll See, This Used to Be My Playground, Masterpiece).

DoneGone 16,717 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Oscars 1991. She was possessed by something that night! Her Girlie Show Tour vocals are very impressive, too. At least in the two official video recordings (Australia and Japan) she sounds amazing. It's funny how the "Ray Of Light" era is one her peaks but vocally had mostly shaky performances: VMAs, EMAs, Grammy Awards 1999... She was quite good in "El Séptimo de Caballería" (TV Show) in Spain, so I guess she's just human and can get nervous in big venues: The "Rebel Heart" promo performances were very good vocally, too, especially "Ghosttown".

I always thought that her voice in Septimo de Caballería was a tone down compared to the album version. But somehow, it was beautiful and powerful. For me, her live-voice peak was during the Drowned World Tour! Brandon Clark and DoneGone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobo 1,221 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Mother and Father / Intervention from the official release is quite stunning. I love husky voiced M from the Who's That Girl tour. The Look of Love, the title track, Live To Tell, Open Your Heart are all fantastic. Oh Father from Blond Ambition is so raw. Really stunning. Sooner Or Later at the Oscars, another highlight. Bad Girl was remarkable. Jazzy voice M was so underused in live shows. Semtex1, PlayPause, Brandon Clark and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoLCL 5,746 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Overall, Re-Invention Tour is where she delivered her best live vocals for me, Drowned World Tour is good in general as well. After that she declined as the tours went on. Pre-Evita I think that The Girlie Show as very good, and of course Sooner or Later at the Oscars, Express Yourself at the VMA's are highlights for me. The Virgin tour as decent too. Who's That Girl and Blond suffered from intense coreography and lack of technique/singing out of her comfort zone PlayPause 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semtex1 886 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Apart from Sooner or Later and Bad Girl which are a given, Live to Tell / Oh Father in Blond Ambition Tour were just perfect for me. Raw, husky and velvety... And i love how she throws the audience off with the end note of Live to Tell PlayPause 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayPause 2,906 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Her "not trained" voice sounded great on The Girlie Show and after Evita (I still wish she had done DCFMA or Die Another Day live at some point during promos), she sang wonderfully throughout Ray of Light to COADF, with the live at Koko, "Madonna: On Stage and on the Record for American Life" on MTV being and this among the best things: Then, she did a good job on the MDNA tour save for the Olympia Now I enjoy her candid snippets on social, especially this one (when was that again?): Batuka, KWAP, Extreme Occident & Frozen were amazing on Madame X. CANT WAIT FOR THE LIVE ALBUM. But my favourite will be: PS:I want Rescue Me. Semtex1, Holy Water 94 and Shoful 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fateseeker 1,259 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Ray of light on Oprah is up there. It's her best performance of that song gafuller, Holy Water 94, Hydrangeas Up Your Ass and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhBabyReadyOrNot 660 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I'd say The Girlie Show (her vocals were very underrated during that era), both of her Oscar performances, Drowned Word Tour, Bad Girl (SNL). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian 2,461 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I agree with what many have written here : the Oscars, Oprah etc I also am kind of fond of her promo events from AL like this one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodoman 330 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 madonna sounded best during DWT. she has always been very inconsistent with her live vocals. that tour, however, was a cumulation of technique and confidence. with RIT, while still technically good, she started to lose some of her vocal brightness, singing many more songs in a lower key. i suppose that was due to age.

cosmicarlo818 2,021 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 am I the only one who LOVES her vocals on "Lucky Star" during the Who's That Girl Tour!? "Cause you shiiiiine on me, wherever you are." That part! So powerful, so guttural! The vocals on the Tokyo show don't even compare since it's the beginning of the tour and perhaps she didn't wear out her voice yet. To me, the Tokyo vocals are too polished lol. I prefer my raw, worn out, deep, and guttural Madonna vocals at the end of her world tours! But yeah, this for me has got to be one of her best live vocals and one of her best tours! And the best performance of "Lucky Star." The energy and the command! scion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
