Madonna - Truth Or Dare - Express Yourself

[visceralguy]

It'd be awesome if she came blasting out w/ this song during the Super Bowl!  She just screams out, "Come on girls! You believe in LOVE? Cause I have something to say about it! N it goes something like this!"

That'd be fierce!!!

[neverreleased]

I can not belive that I'm watching this 21 years later and for me it feels as powerful as day 1 or even better ! What a way to perform such an anthem !

[MrTizgo]

This is ART !!!!!! Marvelous !!!!! Queen !!! Madonna !!!!!!!! Diva !!!!!! Fucking love this woman ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[911insidejo8]

LMFAO @ 4:48--just an unapologetic, in-your-face skank before it became a cliche, I love it.

[chambaflores]

after that, nikki harris got fat xD

[in2whitwhitwhit]

the more I see/hear Lady Gaga, the more I love Madonna..... the woman was a superstar. not to mention a kick ass dancer. Sorry, Gaga, you sure can preach and pander, but you're just a more faded mimeograph of the original pop queen: Madge.

[gasbongconcerts]

The best! How could Lady Gaga copie the Queen of pop music, she's so stupid!

[soilofk]

at 3:23 ...I am melting!!! Brilliant!

[MrRoyalPayne]

The beginning when the guys are dancing...CLASSIC!

[alexsgirl74]

THIS is how its DONE, bitches!

[soilofk]

@alexsgirl74 that's right!! :) :)

[ribbaable]

One of the greatest performances in history! of all time!

[Carlititos13]

Para mi el mejor performance de Madonna

[SmokinMo11]

I think this is the best ever as well.I wish she would kick it like this again.Top notch shit going on here! M's still great,but not like this!

[danjoinus]

eu fica de piruzinho duro quando via isso lá nos inicios dos anos 90. Na cama com Madonna sem falar nas dublagens que eu fazia kkkkkk hj elas fazem com a gaga

[anda45]

This is the Legend!

[klistinec]

Forget about about recent shows! this one rocked, no visuals and special effects on projection screens. Very theatrical, shame I couldn't experience it. My favourite show of all time.

[jamiebabelondon]

is she lip syncing?

[nestlemarie]

@jamiebabelondon yes she is! I was at the show in Philadelphia in June of 1990 and it was prerecorded live but used as a playback so it sounds live but she's just lipsyncing!!

[meathead2001]

Britney, Gaga, Christina, Fergie, Jessica, Rihanna, Katy and Kesha can't even come close to this combined!

[thermo87]

@meathead2001 I'm happy there's many people who think the same way :)

[bloomzhs065]

sexy performance!

[lizdylanboykie]

so awesome

[djoscicsa]

caralho, perfeita

[michaelm79]

Classic. <3

[djwes01]

THE BEST EVER!! WENT 5X to this TOUR, Just could not get enough!!

[ValentinVogue]

MADONNA RULES!!!!!

[keithc42oo]

i miss donna and nikki

[idanilolaranjeira]

@keithc42oo me too

[gsh73la]

@idanilolaranjeira me too :0)

[jeremycau10]

Agree

[hrbr1990]

she's the best dancer!

[koojisaito]

AMAZING performance ,,,

Sorry GaGa,,,, but you will never have the stage presence Madonna's been proving throughout almost 30 years of a successful carrer ..

[Julien200000]

I think that Madonna is the best artist of all time but also the best LIVE artist of all time! The Confessions Tour, The Sticky and Sweet Tour and the Re-Invention Tour are the highest grossing tour by a solo artist of this last decade !

[zitalee2]

if i ever went to one of her concerts i'd wish they wouldn't have the monitors above the stage with backround images of random stuff, it just looks tacky to me, i saw pictures from her last concert with those kinds of images above the stage, i know most concerts use the monitors to magnify the singers but i didn't even see the images of the monitors doing that.

[nyto2]

Sometimes I think... if the artists take a time,, sit down, enters Youtube, and read us... I think the do! :D

AMAZING the fact the know what we think

[amy2345]

Madonna, A++++++++++++ performer

[nosuchpersonvideo]

If I could create my perfect Madonna concert opening sequence, I'd start with this, Fever from Girlie Show, Like A Virgin from Confessions, and end with Vogue from Sticky. All performed in the pony tail and flesh coloured metallic brassier, of course!

[idonteatpeas76]

I wish I was old enough to go to this. I was stuck in a small town from hell watching this on MTV. I love Madonna even if my Grandmother thought she was from the anti-christ.

[gsh73la]

@idonteatpeas76 lol.... and this is tame compared to what is shown today lol <3

[hfxmusicman]

This is her best concert ever. It's more like a broadway show, than a concert. However, during the Truth Or Dare movie..a lady I know said she hated how the black and white footage all had the ponytail look.....and the color concert stuff did not. To her, a casual fan, it made no sense..lol..I can kind of see her point. I personally prefer the non-ponytail look.

[krnmcg]

The best marketed backup dancer in the history of music, Madonna. Love the music, love the dancing, wish she was singing

[selmalover]

This is not from an american concert, since for the american leg of the tour she wore her iconic ponytail, this is from one of the concerts of the european leg of the tour

[KristinaBrooker1]

REACT

Pen is position opinion (RANK)

[SkankExpose]

Lady GaGa WISHES she was this fierce...LOL!!!

[inplane99]

Lady GaGa dreams to be like her hahaha copiona de mierda...

[mikester420]

Long live the queen!

[boyrogers1]

Good opening, i love the choreography at the beginning with the dancers giving it and then some!

[booty95310]

best tour ever

[flrines]

hmm I dunno... I think Girlie Show was a bit rauchier if you ask me, but however I think it's just a matter of opinion haha

[jcclarkeru]

this is....one of the greaest things ever done.

[mauro4727]

i love the blond ambition !

[U2RoxMyWorld]

Crotch grab at 1:10...yesssssssss!!!

[blngarcie]

it was madonnas best ever tour-opener. i wish i could had been there....

she never ever reached that climax....i love it

[atrocchia]

The Blonde Ambition tour was Madonna at her raunchiest.

[CactusG26]

@blngarcie it`s not that she never reached that climax again... it`s just that the music industry/pop industry altogether never ever reached that out of this world climax that it had in the early 90s...

[soilofk]

@blngarcie It was good but the opener of "Confessions" was even better!!!

[TheLondonBorderline]

@blngarcie The best tour-opener along with FUTURE LOVERS/I FEEL LOVE ;)

[911insidejo8]

@blngarcie ...not at all, the opening for the Confessions Tour ("Future Lovers") was far better. At least in my opinion. But I guess this is all opinion anyway.

[flrines]

Beginning in America I mean, oops since they did show Tokyo haha xD

[flrines]

Acutally on the DVD's production notes- it states that all 3 shows in Paris were filmed, so I'm betting they used clips and pieces from all 3 of the Paris shows. Also, Madonna did in some shows in the opening say the name of the country (in London, in Munich "alright Germany', Rotterdam "alright Holland", in Barcelona and Madrid "Hola Espana") I personally wish they would've shown actual performances from the beginning in Houston to the final in Nice, but oh well- great movie AMAZING tour! =D

[babydavid007]

keep on goin madge!!! woooo

[MerlinParish]

Does anyone know what city this was recorded in? I don't think it was actually in the US because she had a ponytail for the US leg of the tour.

[dioioego]

According to the credits on Truth or Dare, it was filmed at Palais Omnisports Paris Bercy, France. It's also mentioned on wikipedia...

[amelka0808]

It was 1990.Great show,great Magonna.I love watching her!!!!

Welcome to Poland on August

[beautifulskull78]

i luv dat song so much

i can't stop singing it

[soilofk]

I've been a fan of Madonna since the 80's, I was 12. and I love every stage in her carreer and life. She is amazing and I love every CD and song, she expresses what is going on in her life through her songs. Some people get stuck thinking that Madonna has change...but c'mon this is Madonna reinventing herself all the time, that's why she is an ICON...that's why today at 50 she is still on top of the game!!

[faro25302]

what happened is Madonna is a balladeer, and it is very taxing to do all those moves while singing, so she became the lypsycher we know and love today. Check out Beyonce', even with her powerful voice, she lypsynchs on stage through most of the song when doing "all the single ladies."

[clevm002]

Its true however people shoudnt hate her for it... As She only does it coz it is soooo hard to dance and sing perfectly... and if she sang bad people would complain, and if she danced bad people would complain... so she has alot to put up with if she goes wrong, so its safer to mime SOME bots of songs and stuff.

[cenapecs77]

the running man or whatever that dance was called is edited out of express yourself

[jcecomex]

I really hope this Paris concert will be released someday in DVD. The footage and recording are excellent. I could even say they're better than any of the recent Madonna recorded concerts.

[boymadonna31]

yo coonish, they took the best audio from another show and dubbed it into this performance. not really matched up that great, but it was 1991 so..yeah.

[jjswin]

More likey she was miming to a prerecorded vocal (like she often does now) - the vocal doesn't match her movements, which I assume would be the same for all shows.

[flagler88]

Actually She sang live with a backing track, but half way through the tour all but lost her voice (laryngitis), so the backing track took over. For Truth or Dare they dubbed in the studio vocal of Express Yourself. Watch Yokohama, Houston and Dallas, you can hear the strain in her voice and it sounds more live.

[coonish28]

I cant help but think she's lip syncing through most of this.

[sheilaboy44]

Whatever happened to THIS Madonna? Did she get kidnapped or something cause the new lame ass bitch fucking sucks ass!!! Her new albums are a mountain of crap!!!!

[allyjohn30]

What happened was she became a mother and EVERYTHING changed!!!!!!

[MadonnasMrDj]

the Japan vhs isnt so bad. Her moves were a little loose, BUT HER VOICE WAS GREAT!

I love her moves on the Truth or Dare "Express Yourself" theyre tight! (I dont mean it as in "cool" lol - ALTHOUGH THEY ARE COOL TOO!)

[greg979]

they havnt edited i dont think.

[robertoarek]

dance and sing get and do your thing!!!

[PaulStec]

I wish they would release this concert in full and not the nice or japan one!

[janetmadonnafan4life]

oh my god i know the one from paris which is where this was filmed is the best one the others don';t do this tour justice

[dioioego]

janetmadonnafan4life, then check this out: "Express yourself Houston Texas". It's the best footage of the Blond Ambition around and she looks like a goddess.

[inplane99]

The Queen keep Rocking the world

[greg979]

her hair looks so bad in this...

that is until she shakes it up a bit.

[BillyJean1990]

lol at the end he shak his leg like mj xD

[Shakeshack78]

I remember seein TOD in theaters the weekend it was released & being SO upset that the concert numbers were edited (except for Like A Virgin & Vogue---though they didn't show the entire Vogue performance due to interspersing w/clips). Mainly fans were going to see the movie & how much time did cutting the songs save? Someday I'd like to see the entire Paris concert!!

[confessions0506]

fuck elton john.

him and his gay critic self.

LIKE HE SINGS BEST LIVE.

Madonna with soar throat SOUNDS BETTER than him.

Madonna is just perfect.

[foreverllamas88]

Yeah, because right before "Express Yourself" in Truth or Dare, Madge is talking about how the only way she's pushing herself through performing in Japan (it was raining cats and dogs) is returning to America. So its showing how she "returned to america"

[elbartostrikes]

what's the exact quote? I recall the scene but not the exact words and I don't have the tape with me.thanks

[foreverllamas88]

The exact quote of what?

[elbartostrikes]

When she says she didn't know it was going to be raining season and she can't wait to go back to America and do the show as it was conceived

[foreverllamas88]

I can't remember exactly.

[confessions0506]

*truth or dare blooper*

in this song she says "Alright America" and in "Keep It Together" she says "Unfortunately Europe, it's time to say goodnight"

well she didnt say "goodnight" but i cant remember lol.

I HOPE SHE REALEASES THIS ON DVD!! I already have the official VHS but its in Japan and I want this performance.

[flagler88]

Yeah the dubbed that in, what they tried to do was make it look like Express Yourself was filmed at the begining of the tour in the U.S and Keep It Together was at the end of the tour in Europe

[confessions0506]

thats cool, i didnt knwo that - how convinient (what i mean is that its appropriate/ it fits lol)

[EgoGo85]

Who cares where it was or if she was miming, it´s a great performance, and i´m sure if it wasn´t playback, this performance would be shit, ´cause she dances a lot and it´s a very difficult song to sing.

[leewelshy]

Miming again!!!! Elton John was right about her!

[Shakeshack78]

Oh.......one last thing: Madonna never said "Alright" "Hello" etc. to the country she was performing in...........just the city. Alright America was recorded & dubbed into this performance.

[flagler88]

Sometime she said the country, like she would say Alright London England and I think she said alright Germany.

[carolki13]

this performance was in madison square garden...that was the first leg of the u.s. part of her tour. i remember on the week in rock kurt loder did a piece on it. that's why she says 'alright america'.

[carolki13]

she used the ponytail and curls in the u.s. i still have the truth or dare vhs tape and there's a show in detroit where she sang to her dad. and she had the ponytail. this performance was in madison square garden. that was the first leg of the u.s. tour.

[LAdude2006]

this performance took place in Paris... not New York.

[coolblk]

the curly hair was better :)

[GirlieShowx33]

great my favourite song

[sokdudu]

she has ponytail in Japan and in America... i don't understood this "all rgiht America", too. the ponytail was nicer and better, than curly hair in my oppinion

[Treyb2]

she said one of the reason she didnt wear the pony tail because it would get stuck in hear headset microphone and pull hear real hair out

[thermo87]

I don't understand one thing. It's supossed that she used the curly hair only in Europe and she says "all right america!!!" I thought that she used the pony tail in america and japan

[domboy78]

This concert as filmed 2 nights in Paris at Bercy. The "All right America" is re-recording in studio for this movie. And don't forget Madonna wear the Ponytail for the Japan, American and Canada citys and curly hair for the first part of the tourand the rest of the tour.

[felicia85705]

madonna's best live performance ever! they need to release the footage from truth or dare as a full unedited concert....the shows from yokohama,nice,and barcelona don't do this show justice....madonn has the best energy and gets her nastiest,and you can actually hear the crowd,the filming and picture quality and lighting is better....last i heard they were gonna relaease the Nice,france cocert which will suck!
