Madonna introducing the Labèque Sisters

[floydrharper]

@lucyintheskywithcake

I didn't know she danced. I had heard her sing a couple of times and was underwhelmed, but she's very pretty...

[blupomodoro]

"they might not know what classical music is"?! what.. Madonna.. they're not that ignorant.

[lucyintheskywithcake]

@flbnice she was just kidding. @floydrharper Madonna is actually a very gifted dancer..

[brianhunt70]

@matthewmttyd You certainly have a lot of time and energy to waste, pontificating on and on about someone you clearly envy, yet claim to despise! have fun with that. and by the way, the correct spelling is "opposed" not apposed. wake up your dictionary! oh, and did you mention that Madonna's a leo? hmmm.. YOU seem to be the fan!

[freakineye]

It's absolutely bizarre how hard some would try to discredit and demean this woman for no valid reason, as if she's committed a crime against them personally. I've watched the video twice and she had nothing but utter respect and admiration for the Labèque Sisters who also happen to be her friends, it would've been understandable had she insulted them but there was nothing in there that would justify all these vile and hateful comments. I agree with brianhunt70, it must be jealousy.

[robster16]

Madonna introduces the Labeque sisters to her dancers who are very young dancers set in a more contemporary world of music! She is not and has never claimed to have discovered the Labeque sisters. They are obviously friends, judging their greeting in the clip, so there is no reason for any of the people here to act as vicious and condemning of Madonna's pop music nature and audience! Music is as high brow as you make or judge it yourself!!!

[brianhunt70]

to say Madonna is of no importance in culture shows incredible incompetence (and maybe a jealousy). She may not be your cup of tea but I think she's done just fine without your support. :)

[RratsArtStudio]

Madonna ...good grief. You ARE a bottle of cheap champagne compared to these girls.

[MrsEBillie]

What's the name of the song at 1:29 ?

Thanks

[flieflodderke]

@MrsEBillie

Rhapsody in Blue of Gershwin

[florafox]

we don't need madonna for introducing the Labeque sisters.

[KatManDude]

Oh, Madonna, you're so very chic and refined with your champagne and classical music in Paris and your posh accent. You almost make us forget you're a former cheerleader from the suburbs of Detroit who dropped out of college after one semester.

[ARTHURHOFMAN]

'Where's my champagne?' is MY LINE!

Does anyone know which pieces we hear?

[l9lovelockdown6l]

@ARTHURHOFMAN : Rhapsody in Blue - Gershwin

[re6356]

To say Maddona lacks talent is rather stupid, I can think of a lot more 'recognized' artists with a lot less.  The Lebeque girls have amazing talent, that is obvious.

Playing the piano at that level demands enormous skill and they have it and they also have good looks; what a combination.

[Dud3SyaL1ImAfR3CK]

Please note that Madonna never said she was better then them in talent or skill,

all of them have an enormous amount of talent.

[Fuliginosus]

I love the Labeque sisters, but really I think it's silly to act as if Madonna lacks talent. Madonna has been a major pop music star for nearly 30 years. She must be doing something right.

[florafox]

@Fuliginosus madonna is very primitive, so she is loved by a primitive audience, that 's the secrete of her success.

[brianhunt70]

@florafox - yes, madonna is so "primitive" that she takes time out of her personal time and busy schedule to introduce her dancers & crew to classical pianists that they may have never otherwise experienced. what would please u more? if she took them to Chuck E. Cheese for a balloon art party? My god, what a petty little critic!

[florafox]

@brianhunt70 the problem with madonna is that she wants to be important in culture. This is not the case.

compared to celine dion she cannot sing, compared to shania twain she is ugly, compared to a cool rock performer like alannah myles she is boring like anything. thats my opinion.

[lestatsmadness1985]

@florafox Yes that maybe your opinion but your wrong i'm afraid! Madonna is far bigger than any of the artists you mentioned, Madonna is still the biggest selling female artist of all time....so to say she is not important in culture is just simply ludicrous. Madonna has changed the face of pop culture, she is the one female star who is looked up to by so many of today's female performers. Yes her voice is no Celine Dion but it's ok, I personal think she is just as attractive as Shania Twain!

[tomkihl]

The Labeque sisters are playing a really special night at Londons Roundhouse on 31st Jan, accompanied by video specially created by young people from the venues studios.

[vittoriorice]

the music is fabulous...wished i could play the piano

[AyahuaskaPop]

Bellisima musica...

No se porque critican tanto a Madonna, ademas se nota que las Labeque son sus amigas y se quieren mucho.

[floydrharper]

If Madonna doesn't possess any talent, it's to her credit that she recognizes it in others!

[vini952002]

quishn turres !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mediatapwater]

just saw the labeques in hk. amazing. who the fuk cares about madonna nyway.

[doscarolina]

Now we have to believe that Madonna discovered Katia and Marielle?? This sucks!

[Mike82ARP]

Madonna.. What a pretentious twit. The Labeques were around before she and will be long after.

[tubepuebla]

What is the name of the song that they played inthis video, any reference? thx

[NatureGirl62]

To tubepuebla: It's the very exquisite "Rhapsody in Blue" by Gershwin.

[BakedWalnut]

Does Katia always hum along to her music?

[lipsbach]

No, obviously not.....at least not on the recordings i have heard. I would assume that this obnoxious and affected squealing was pretty much for the audience at hand. A few others DO make ridiculous noises on recordings. Keith Jarrett is particularly annoying.

[crowe]

total horseshit

[poorlena]

katia is obviously the more popular of the two...she's more excentric also.

Marielle is more reserved,and she doesn't humm along (which is kinda annoying)

Go marielle go!

[kathakalimask]

Madonna is such a shallow person. Honestly. And the people who hang around her? Even more so.

Her band is so dirt poor that they don't/can't buy CDs or download music or discover some good shit for themselves?!

The Labeques -- God bless them -- are too talented to hang around this type of nonsense.

[joelbs]

I just watched the Labeque sisters perform a Matinu Concerto with the New York Philharmonic...this video was very nice to see with Madonna...
