    incredible...

  • The guys in the vid look soooo gay in shorts...no offence to anyone

  • Awesome. especially i love native symbols on the background))

  • Awesome

  • this is how Lady Gaga also started... performing in underground clubs...

    i think she'll be the next Madonna

  • @DonLouiVer Hey, I think she already the next M and even more! Think Madonna was at this time 24, the age Gaga today!

  • You had to mention that clown here, right???

  • The girl I dont know,but this three guys dont have future in music...

  • I agree - she sounds great :D I wish we could see the crowds reaction.

  • MADONNA is amazingly gifted! =)

  • I miss these golden years !

  • omgesus! i just noticed that one of the dancers is actually a GIRL! i think its erika bell

  • she remixed her own song before anyone else had a chance 8:04 minutes-genius!

  • Great to see Madonna dance new wave. . . one of her best songs.

  • damn she was so good!

  • QUE ENVIDDIA, QUE PIERNAS TIENE MADONNA JIJI

  • she sounded so awesome on live during her Boy Toy era... Loved it !!!!!

  • good song :-)

  • Stop this childish thing of Madonna vs Gaga. Enough. Let it be.

    Get a life, you people.

    Madonna is great, Gaga is good too, and many ofhers.

    I loved this video. I remember when Everybody came out. Amazing quality, she sounds amazing here, so young.

  • @bobbyciccone I love you for saying this. THANK YOU.

  • Hey I think you should send a link to Madonna Icon fan club. I'm curious did she ever saw that :)

  • what club is it?

    what year?

  • dance anthem!! it screams: "DANCE MOTHEFUCKERS!!!"

  • Chills!

    Gaga vs Mads - there had to be another Madonna at some point and I think that while Lady Gaga doesn't really compare to her majesty, she is a wonderful groundbreaking artist in her own right and she continues the Madonna trait of perpetual change, embrace it!

  • Chills!

  • How could anyone bring Lady Gaga into this? Anyone with a decent pop culture knowledge would know how Lady GAga copies Madonna. Let's face it, without Madonna showed some amateur like lady gag how to be controversial and get famous first, i doubt she would have capacity to get her videos to be known by anyone! One of Gaga's music video is directly copying from Madonna's Vogue, all her religious and sexual controversies had all been done by madonna in her hey days. Where's gaga's originality??

  • @AdvertChild98

    You took the words right out of my mouth. That BORN THIS WAY is a straight rip of EXPRESS YOURSELF. I cannot stand GaGa aka CaCa as in SHIT!

  • @godwell Lady gogo gadget!

  • @AdvertChild98 And there's clearly a lot of Debbie Harry in early Madonna. Then she made the character develop and knew how to make good business of it, but there's a lot of Debbie there.

  • WOAH Guys! hav u

    heard of Macdonalds secret?? this will amaze you... JUST CLICK

    ON OVER CHANEL TO LEARN ABT IT!

  • i love this song!!!!!!!!fantastic!!

  • everybody.......dance

  • DANCE MUSIC of MADONNA LIVE by PIANO TEACHER !

  • Love this video, it shows the real talented persona she is, still remember the first night when I heard this song, I asked the DJ, who is singing? he said, a new artist, her name is MADONNA. Mediterranean girl, sensual and beautiful eyes, I'm happy Lourdes looks like her. love you Madonna.

  • She gave an amazing perfomance, love watching the old stuff=)

  • she was fantastic! <3

  • and when Madonna become famous a few years later, someone who was here in the crowd was going to say: "I know this girl, i have seen her years ago at..."

  • thank u god 4 madonna

  • what a voice! i love her so much.

  • I would have liked to see the crowds reaction and energy and if they had any idea what she'd become that's far more interesting to me than her first performance.

  • She brought the dance and the video clip for the stage. And the "filmmaker" did a nice work too, cause this video is not from today. Bon amateur! Good sound and good shoots. One of her friendas probably took them, And the house was small, so...

    Yes, anthological concert!

    Thas why she is.

  • She used to dress like a homeless man. At least this outfit is attractive. The other Everybody video she is wearing like brown khaki shit and plaid she look like shit there

  • she coultdnt sing back in the day either.. lol..

  • @zuppzup well you have no taste in music anyway to say madonna can't sing go listen to your lady ga ga leave real music to people who actually listen to real music

  • @TheStrawbeery

    lol.. i dont like lady gaga either.. but in your ignorant way youre still sort of right.. i would prefer gaga over bullshit madonna...

    uhh.. my ears are bleeding

  • @zuppzup oh i so think your wrong there mind girl its thu madonna being so conferdent as a woman to say hey fuck it

  • everybody!!!!

  • So young, but she knew what she was doing....Great song...MORE fantastic '80`s music on my channel!!!!

  • this z one of her best songs

  • You could tell the world's gonna hear more from her, even then!

    The dancers suck tho--

  • Is this from the club Paradise Garage in New York?

  • @letsgocamping Yes it is, the Paradise Garage in NYC.

  • She is so Fierce. Love this gay icon.

  • Thats TRUE tallent right there

    GREAT singer GREAT dancer

    all when she had nothing

    do you know where this clip originated from?

  • she is just great

  • that was great ,,would have loved to had been there

  • @ XXBilliejoe: It's all evolution... I don't find her performance funny but intriguing. Loved it!

  • for a live show she sounds VERY fucking clear and good.

  • @originalbitches

    DUDE, it's MADONNA!!! :))))

  • long live Madonna! She has been performing as long as I have been alive!

  • omfg the boys dance fucking gay at the beginning

  • nothing has changed either, almost 30 years later she still has her faggy dancers!

  • love the bells -- and that echo effect. i'm surprised how good she sounds.

  • Funny, to see how she was before she was famous!

  • It is like a school festival, is not it?

    So naif... But so interesting for all Madonna's fans.

  • Comment removed

  • may be in this party few know who she will be after some years...she have great voice befor 30years to yet now..

  • I bet she had no idea she was gonna "RULE THE WORLD"......... oh wait she did said she was gonna didn'tshe??!!

  • yeah!!! she said that... its true!! I wanna rule the world!!! and she did!!!

    long live tge Queen!!

  • AWESOME, i never watch tjhis before!!! Long live the Queen! She didnt have idea who is going be....in the WORLD.

  • What a fabulous clip! I've always loved the way she moved. I wish she would dance more. I also don't know why she ever touched her cheekbones. In the beginning even in the dark you can see how high and prominent they are. Now, they're big and round. Why mess with perfection? Just my opinion. :-)

  • The guy yelling "go on girl" at 1:03 is fucking hillarious

  • The guy yelling "go on girl" at 1:03

    hahahahaha, im agree with U, he sounds too queer, like the best queen friend !!!

  • What year was this? '81 or '82?

  • 1982

  • What an awesome recording of things to come ! She started this way and has stayed true, albeit much more theatrical:-)

  • Vive MADONNA!!!!!!!!!!! La France t'aime!!!!!!!

  • How a artist starts out is all the glory of history ! she had the courage and stamina from the get go . She is wonderful

  • come guys she cant bloody sing, thats a totally mediocre perfromance as far as lyrical talent is concerned. i do think she was great then though.

  • they were probably trying to go for something simple lyrically back then by today's standards it's far too simple but back there was no standard for a female pop solo act.

  • I'm not sure what you meant there. Are you saying that there was no standard for a female pop solo act in the misty time-forgotten year of....1982?

  • (I don't dig the knobbly knee dance routine tho) :)

  • Oh wow. This looks like some local talent show. Who found this? What was it? Madonna was really good, she hit all the high notes. Wow is all I can say.

  • So good

  • hence she had a kind of voice

  • good...

  • это не мадонна

  • WOW, love it!!! She had star power right from the start. Love this vintage performance. Always and forever MADONNA!!! love Marco (djmadonna1)

  • She really did sound great!

  • Wow she sang better then than she does now.

  • Now she just sounds like a squeaky robot.

  • Wow Madonna sounds great in this clip! Choreography has come a LONG way tho... O_O Great clip!

  • Что это за местный русский ДК в Америке - на стене ? Первая мысль была , что это fake videо - постановка ВГИКа....

  • Comment removed

  • Sire Records people were in the audience and upon seeing this performance they sent this very film recording to clubs around the country, this was before the official music video was made.

  • What a rare video. Wooaoo!

  • Удивительно! Кто знал, что этот маленький человек будет греметь на всю планету!)))))

  • А на стене кириллица :)))

  • They had no idea............

  • @Comradeguy ...Indeed, they had no idea. But Frankie Crocker did. Just remember, boys and girls; if it hadn't been for the Chief Rocker on NYC's WBLS 107.5 FM, 28 years ago this month (give or take a few weeks), pushing this record hard, and her next 2, she might have been an afterthought in 1987.

  • @CookyMonzta

    I think Madonna was destined to be a megastar no matter what. Marketing genius has always been a part of the equation with her.

  • @johnlouisville Indeed. But she had to get through R&B radio to become a star. How far would she have gone, or how much longer would it have taken for her to hit the big time, if there were no Teena Marie to come before her? Another 4 years, perhaps? Would pop radio have taken her as seriously, enough to see her as a dance/R&B artist trying to get pop radio's attention, or would they have kept her in the same box as, for example, the Flirts?

  • @CookyMonzta Its no accident Madonna became an Megastar. Pop stations were forced to take her seriously. She was operating in manner not before known for women in the record industry. Those other female artists, while talented, were still following the old blueprint for women in the industry. Madonna came in and rewrote it. Think the 1984 VMAs. On her first album, no one thought she would be a megastar, but she kept peeling back the layers and she proved to more than just an r&b dance artist.

  • Wow, excellent find!

  • Amazing. This was before anyone ever heard of Madonna...even before she got the look seen in Desperately Seeking Susan that made her famous overnight. The boy toys and the dance choreography were all there though. Notice how the audience was dead in the beginning but roared in the end.

  • One of her most Soulful cuts!

  • cyndie lauper.

  • fuck my ass!!!

  • u want madonna to fuck your ass? thats funny lol!

  • First time I see this video... G R E A T!!!

  • love this!

    happy belated birthday madonna!

  • wow! where was this?

  • This is such a cool clip!

  • Wow, I wish Madonna was into the Gay crowd like she used to into. She forgot about the GAYS!

  • she never forgets about he gays!! NEVER

  • Oh please. I read her brothers book and trust me, he does NOT paint a good picture of her. I am no longer a Madonna fan like I used to. She is cold.

  • And your gonna believe everything he wrote abut her in that book? Please. If you were a fan in the first place you would know that a lot of what hes saying in that book is exaggerated or twisted in some way to make her look bad.

  • Just read the book. It's an interesting book. He doesn't just say bad things about her, but gives her a lot of praise. The way she treats her own brother is cold and manipulative. If you like to read (other than my comments), read that book. I am qualified to make this comment.

  • How can he not give her a lot of praise? Without her he would be nothing, as it also says in the book. I've read the book twice, and he has just played the victim and made himself out to be some saint throughout the book and her some evil woman. Ask anyone else in her life and they will say she isn't like what he says of her in the book. Yes, some things he says are probably true, but he does twist a lot of stuff around to make him out to be the good person.

  • Of course you are qualified to make that comment, I never said you wasn't. You are entitled to your opinion, as am I. :)

  • Whatever happend to this singer Madonna? Did she ever become a multi platinum selling recording artist?

  • are you kidding me, she is one of the most famous and successful female singers in the world, where have you been living, in a hole??? lol

  • I think elmando5 was being sarcastic when he asked whatever happened to this singer Madonna

  • I knew sarcasm was lost alot more with email but, sometimes you have to spell it out for people (LOL.) - "elmando5" was being sarcastic and "miniaturecaff" thought he/she was serious!? - This is at Danceteria in NY. - Madonna was just starting out. Wow time flies!

  • symbols on the wall (in backgroud) are russian-alphabets.......... ~"Previet Cagnela".......

  • Very impressive ! She was so unique! There will never EVER be anyone like Madonna

  • Little did these people know that at the time they were viewing one of the future biggest stars to ever grace the planet.

  • madonna and italo disco are more closely related than you'd think.

  • Esa rola va a pegar...

  • Oh my God!!! Thanks for putting this up! What a great quality video! Vintage Madonna!!!! Whoo!

  • AND A QUEEN WAS BORN

  • she is so interesting here! so punky artistic and driven

  • This is what Youtube is all about, a flash back 27 years to a club in NYC to see a fledgling superstar.

    Sad to hear that the white dancer died of AIDS. I think the routine is kind of hypnotic.

    I'd never heard this song before...thanks

  • No you can even tell me if you want. This was cool!Way back but not really that long ago!

  • for her first gig she sure put on a show.

  • i believe the guy on the right died of aids and madonna wrote that song in this life about him.

  • The guy to the right was Martin Burgoyne who died of AIDS. The tall black guy, known as "Bags", dropped out of performing with Madonna, so later he was replaced with her brother Christopher. The black girl, Erica Bell, remained friends with Madonna..not sure if she is still friends to this day, but a lot of Madonna bios have her talking about Madonna.

  • thanks for the info pungi.
