Express Yourself Rehearsal 1990 @ Disney Studios L.A. - Madonna

[patricialovesmolly]

i feel there was some vocal trickery here for example added vocals from the recording

[nyclv04]

Excellent!

[SpazChat]

Damn she could have sold tickets to her rehearsals! All that time she was in Disney Studios in Burbank. Quite fitting considering she was also filming a Disney movie at the time. Interesting. To be the entertainer, must be quite a grueling job.

MADONNA CAN'T DEFINITLY SING!

[SpazChat]

@cynmeneguel , I think she would sing live ok, if she didn't insist on moving so much and was wearing sound monitors. Not sure if she wore them all the time like 98 degrees and Nsync did. No one can sing live and sound great when they're moving around on stage as much as she does

[UFCvsStrikeforce]

@cynmeneguel She sings better than Celine 

[cinderelmo]

Madonna now does like this nude makeup look but with the retro red lipstick and platinum blonde Marilyn Monroe hair she looked like Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga, and Brittany Murphy. Are we sure that Gaga , Gwen and Brittany Murphy aren't Madonna's real daughters,RIP B.Murphy.

[cinderelmo]

She looks so beautiful here with the wet hair I can't believe this was back in 1990!!!!!!!! she still looks so beautiful after all these years ,she sure looks like Gwen Stefani and Lady Gaga here, I never understood the comparisons but Madonna looks like Lady Gaga here on the Monster Ball tour the red lipstick and platinum blonde hair.

[superstella78]

The Queen showcasing how it is done!

[StoneRiverEyes]

She looks horrible.

[xporcelainxvampirex]

@StoneRiverEyes well it's just rehearsal she's probably sweaty/and didn't get ready all day? lol

[eatenalive85]

@StoneRiverEyes Sounds terrible too. No wonder she lip syncs so much.

[StoneRiverEyes]

@eatenalive85 Haha amen. I don't know why she lip-synced a lot though. She did have a good voice....

[SpazChat]

@StoneRiverEyes , If singers didn't lip sync sometimes, they wouldn't have any voice left.

[bowlinggod702]

@StoneRiverEyes Suggested watching... Cao Italia for those of you who thinks she lip syncs to much. She has an amazing voice even at the age of 53 and Ciao Italia is one of her more amazing performances.

[dioioego]

@eatenalive85 did u realize that this is a rehearsal? She doesn't even dance properly, at the beginning she dances like she doesn't give a fuck. And let me tell you that Madonna CAN sing. Sometime she fucks it up, true, but she can sing.

[redwinghockeylover]

I wish I could dance to this song like Madonna does. So cool girl!

[dwn1lal3]

Madonna is and will always be the best!

[shazu1990]

She looks SO HOT here!

[paulstec1]

The costumes are all just rehearsal costumes not the finish items most artists had dummy costumes made for rehearsing its the same in Theatre shows!

[avihayas20]

her outfit is difrent here ! 

[MLVC0816]

Poor Madonna~ she looks like she is struggling soooooo hard here. I read the rest of the comments so I know she was "sick" but I think it's kinda cool to see her like this. I mean with messy hair and what looks like to be hardly any make up!!

[scaramoucheEm]

@MLVC0816 Well it's just a rehearsal-- most artists mark their way through practice, i.e., go through the motions of what they will be doing but without using full voice and movement so they don't strain themselves. I'm sure her live performance went fine. But yeah, it's interesting to see. :)

[MrPedromadboy]

she was ill during this rehearsal,remember the problems with her voice in truth or dare

[merboy68]

Interesting.. looks like she made JPG change the design of that Bustier. In the actual shows it is a high bikini cut over pants. Love the juxtaposition of femininity over masculinity.. Brilliant!

[TarantulaCandy]

@merboy68 she also changed the vogue outfit ( the top was meant to be a bra only) and did not perform without taking the corset off, on the keep it together outfit Gaultier had the idea of putting Jean Daisy Duke-like jeans...needless to say Madonna already had a vision as the whole suit and corset was her idea as shown before in the 1989 VMA performance of "Express Yourself" (and the video as well)

[MindOfCreativity]

That's so 90s... 

[euroclass1]

LOOK AT 2:26 - MADONNA GETS ANGRY AT NIKI HARIS as Niki's vocal continues when Madonna's finishes - she waves at her lol

[GLO78]

@euroclass1 that´s not true, that´s part of the coreography, she does the same in all performances. and she waves at Donna not Nicki

[euroclass1]

@GLO78 You're right! I think it was just that angle - My bad!

[dallstella]

@euroclass1 hahahha

[TheJosephC1]

She seems in pain in this rehearsal! But the Tour was amazing. Good rehearsals I suppose

[cristianishere]

@TheJosephC1 She looks exhausted and tired. She worked her ass off for this tour, and gave us something that still remains a classic.

[TheJosephC1]

@cristianishere yeah most defiantly. One of my favourite tours!

[BabyIsAlwaysRight]

LEGEND!!!

[phillawer1]

I just realised that oliver is without his trademark blonde hair. This must have been really early in the tour

[flinterroom]

What does she sing in the girlie voice before she says 'Com'on girls'?

[mirander]

@flinterroom It's playback from her first single "Everybody" from 1982 where she sings "dance and sing get up and do your thing"

[tarus360]

@flinterroom

SHE SAYS Hooouu .... Com'on Girls Do You Believe In Love ?

[MrTizgo]

it seems to be one of the first rehearsal ..if u look at it right at the very end when she say .." so if you want it right now ... there is a little sequence she does with her hand .. the back vocals sounds fantastic ...and madonna sings her ass off on that ,,,,love it ...:)

[cristianishere]

@MrTizgo The sad thing is despite her singing live here, you can clearly hear her voice is already a bit shot. So by the time she kicked off the tour, her voice was even more strained, and she ended up getting a case of laryngitis towards the end of her N. American run. Still, it's awesome to see this in such "raw" form. She's always been so dedicated to her performances.

[animalfragil89]

She actually sang live on this one

[emanitudism]

madonna = so sexy
