  • excellent performance, you go girl!!! lol!

  • @DitRehab Make no mistake, I LOVE Madonna. But I cringe at the phrase "Madonna did it FIRST." It has been coined by bunch of elitist fan queens with NO sense of history beyond 1980. Madonna has never done anything FIRST! She's a product of her predecessors just like GaGa. And there's nothing wrong with that, it's natural. And articles like that of "TIMES" mean nothing. Going by things like that, Lady GaGa is more powerful than Oprah! (Forbes) Which is crap, but there's no reason to resent GaGa.

  • @itsme3592 Not really, hon. Madonna's work mostly consists of an original reinterpretation of a popular element or theme, and THAT is the utmost definition of Pop Art. Do not mistake the elements used in the construction of an artwork (including a song or video, or painting - like Warhol's) with not being original. Madonna is the closest thing to Andy Warhol in music, while Gag's work consists of a direct and unintelligent reconstruction, sometimes blatantly copy, of the works of other people.

  • @chloecanacalon You just said "original reinterpretation." If you don't realize that's an oxymoron, then you're not worth entertaining. Good day.

  • this is madonna, no lady gaga shit, get off gaga fans

  • Gaga permorfance last night was way better than this one... Gaga has a better and stronger voice than madonna...

  • @fraldexxx maybe but she still is a Copycat!

  • @SebastianWelling @MrHapness I've got no real problem with people calling GaGa a copycat, but don't be a hypocrite. What bothers me is the claim that GaGa is unoriginal while Madonna was some unprecedented innovator. That's a load of crap! They're both masters of REinvention. They take less mainstream imagery & ideas and reintroduce them in a new way, through a pop lens. And don't get me wrong, that's fantastic! What distinguishes them is GaGa's great voice & Madonna's formal dance background .

  • @fraldexxx gaga is a copycat, is a shit

  • @fraldexxx sorry but Lady gaga can't dance, her singing is better but her dancing was sloppy, this is like a cabaret show flawlessly done. Gaga even fell of her piano. if this was American Idol where voice is most important and no originality and covering other people's act was the norm...then Gaga would win. in the real world where artistic value complies more than just a good voice Madonna wins hands down by a landslide.

  • Well some parts are playback but mostly live

  • I actually never got that she was supposed to be a guy, I thought she was just a chick in a tux. Must have been the makeup.

  • @kellygene77 You were exactly right. She is not supposed to be a guy. But rather a girl asserting herself like a guy. If she were going to be a guy she would not be wearing lipstick and blush.

  • HAHHAAHA LADY GAGA SUCKS. THE ONLY DIVA, THE UNIQUE .. MADONNAAAA...

  • Sorry Gaga, Madonna did drag at the VMA's first.

  • @BrandonLori not really drag...

  • Lady gaga just ripped off her again at tonights vma lol

  • @dallstella @BrandonLori Hardly. This isn't drag. Madonna played a woman who asserted herself like a man. GaGa was actually playing a man. There's a big difference. More importantly, why beleaguer comparisons? They're both phenomenal performers & Madonna isn't going to be alive forever. Are you going to resent every female sexual pop provocateur that comes after her? Much of GaGa's image is inspired by Madonna, sure. In the same vein, much of Madonna's image is inspired by Marilyn. No big deal.

  • @itsme3592 Exactly and I can't help but wonder if these Madonna fans can actually catch the 'Cabaret' reference through the whole performance.

    Clearly Madonna's image for this performance was inspired by Liza Minelli's performance of Mein Herr and the movie Cabaret was released around 20 years before this performance even aired. Funny how people point the finger at Gaga for being inspired by other performers when Madonna has had her moments of referencing her favourite past idols too.

  • @pascha120 the whole point is that Madonna used broadway an other things. 99.99% of Gaga's career is MADONNA. if it was a thing or 2, it wouldn't be such a big deal. but honestly Lady gaga's career reminds me of those movies where the crazy girl befriends another girl and basically adopts her looks, her behavior and her life. and like it has been said before 20 years ago it was innovative. nowadays is just YAWN.

  • @TarantulaCandy Imo any entertainer should be allowed to be inspired by the rich history of Broadway and seeing as though Lady Gaga/Stefani comes from NY I'm not surprised that she is. And I never said Gaga has never been inspired by Madonna. There have been countless times where she has blatantly ripped Madonna off. I just don't believe that Gaga's 'drag performance' was a rip off of Madonna's. Yes there's a similarity in the drag element but the ideas behind both performances are v. different.

  • @itsme3592 haha nice try, this was a desperate Gaga recycling MADONNA YET AGAIN. MADONNA is phenomenal.gaga is simply copying the way a chimp copies a human..is cute an laughable but that's about it. this certifies why Gaga will always be known as a MADONNA wannabe. the comparisons are there because Lady gaga copies OVER AND OVER MADONNA if I wanted to see what was innovative at the time (um gaga tried to kiss britney too) I'd see the original which has better choreography anyway.

  • @TarantulaCandy I adore Madonna. I've been to her show 4 times, once front row. And they were some of the best nights of my life. But if you believe that she is an innovator, then the only real chimp is the one she has made you. You must have no sense of history beyond the eighties. Do some homework! Or, you can sit at your computer and continue to sift through comments and ignorantly bash Lady GaGa- whatever floats your boat. Good day.

  • Buena música!!!

  • One of my favorite Madonna performances. I remember the day it came on. Best album for me too. Just love the songs on Erotica. There is so much talent out there but god seriously when I watch performances like this it just reminds me that nobody can match her. Ain't no other female entertainer has come close to her greatness. Happy Birthday QUEEN Madonna.

  • She sounds like a cat getting screwed in an Alley. HORRENDOUS

  • @Skemmdarvargur1

    eh... just alil' but hey now at least she's singing live while delivering an ah-mazing performance.

    credit to those who deserve credit;)

    Madonna La Reina de los VMAs x Siempre!

  • 2:30 she fails with lip synch BUT it just proves that she is UNUSUAL WITH PLAYBACK! She sings live almost allways so its hard to her lip synch.

  • @wannabex01 I think the girlie show tour was the height of her lip syncing, like 80% lip synced. Glad she's live now :)

  • @kellygene77

    I myself havent searched which ones are playback and which live but I have allways been very sure that at least "Erotica" and "Bye Bye Baby" are playback. And also "Express Yourself from BAT has allways been clear for me.

  • She sang live here (voice altered), but he tour performance was the album vocals.

  • Well, the speaking parts were from the record in this performance.

  • love the song

  • Why is this version was not released on the CD single. It was remixed by Daniel Abrahams, rite??

  • @larebe74 i totally agree with you

  • Who cares if she lip syncs sometimes? Her performances are about more than just vocals, they're a real show. They're theatrical.

  • Now, what do you think the aduience was thinking as they were watching this? lol

  • I always thought it was strange that she did this song at the MTV Awards when it wasn't even released in the US. She liked trying things out on award shows before using them for an upcoming tour. The "Erotica" album is amazing, but was shunned and overlooked because of the "book".

  • Madonna is a superheroe!!

  • madonna was a failure in 1993 with her album erotica, but now is a biggest businnes woman very succeful, smart...and crative...

  • @emilioless she failured with that album only in USA, because the "erotica" album worlwide was a hit, like "depper and depper", "rain" or "bad girl". But for many people this album is one of her best!!!! some of the songs are too beautiful

  • Carroie Ann Inaba is so incredibly sexy in this performance!

  • did someone notice the "get tha picture" of janet jackson and the king Michael jackson!!?

  • I love her sexy look at 3:23 :)

  • lipsynk fail!

  • @ansol2006 i like madonna but yeah i noticed when she started lipsynking and i was like wtf?

  • @JACPresentations i like her too. at least she didn't lipsynk this one on her tour.

  • @ansol2006 SHE NEVER LIPSYNK IN HER TOURS!!!!

  • @larebe74 of course she does! all the "vogue" versions besides this last tour, "nobody knows me", blond ambition "express yourself"...

  • @ansol2006 and of course this one

  • @JACPresentations SHE ONLY DID THE LIPSYNKING IN SOME OF THE CHORUS, BUT NOT IN THE WHOLE SONG

  • Did you know that the dancer Madonna is with is Carrie Anne Inalba the judge from Dancing with the Stars, pretty awesome

  • Oh My!!!!!! I remember this performance!!!! It was one of the most memorable MTV moments for me! Go girls!!!!! I love powerful, strong women! The queen of pop and the best entourage around! -Linda Daemon- /DRUGZONE/

  • damm,i miss the 90's :(

  • GRAND JUST GRAND!!!

  • classic hot performance

  • One of favorite performances from her!

  • i saw it live on tv back in 1993. all is live sung except the recite-part in the middle..."this is not a love song...."

  • You didn't ! "get the picture". - Artismo

  • NO female ever did what she did before- shes a true innovator, a legend and hot as hell !!! Every single female wannabe now are ALL trying to emulate shows like this that Madonna did FIRST!

  • ¡What a androgynus! I like to see her touching the buttocks at the chineses girl

  • Madonna cross-dressing Dietrichly : )

  • it was not playback, it's the way synching of the video when it was uploaded. this performance was sung live

  • madonna looks like marlene dietrich <33

  • Madonna the queen of POP..the best and the only one

  • but she made a TERRIBLE PLAYBACK,the track doesn't follow her voice

  • every pop artist did it back then

  • @soycolegadechuchu who pays attention if her voice follows the track or not. ALL EYES ON MADONNA!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Get the picture??!!

  • @Meskiagkasher  I DON'T GET THE PICTURE!!! What picture??? What is she talking about?

  • @arturocas90 about her new tour, the "girlie show"

  • @larebe74

    Ooooh ok, like "This is a taste of the tour..."

    Thanks ;-)

  • @arturocas90 yes!!!!!!!!!! 

  • madonna is so hilarious...

  • this and janet's "if" was what saved the show in 1993. jaw-dropping

  • it's still not as good as the tour version

  • yea..japan was good

  • Can u send original file? Thanks

  • it looks like the girlie show.. is it the version from MTV?

  • Madonna you rock!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • awesome

  • Comment removed

  • DAMN 1993 was the shit!! Everything was better back then all the way up until 200, and then everything went to complete shit in the music industry. 93-98 was the sweet spot for music.

  • I cannot stop laughing this is best performance that made my days.

  • Comment removed

  • I remember watching this live with my mom. lol.

  • At about 2:33, she messes up. The recorded track starts without her! I love Madonna and it's cute to see her mess up ONCE in awhile!!! LOL. Oh ya, the Asian girl in the red corset is Carrie Ann from Dancing with the Stars. When I saw the Girlie Show in NYC back in the early 90's, Carrie Ann started the show by shimmying down a rope topless. She was also bald! But she is still beautiful.

  • I don't get the picture...what picture???

  • Comment removed

  • madonna is hilarious! that's right tell baldo who's the boss!

  • God I love The Girly Show.. LOL

    Bye Bye Baby....

  • please, can someone write here what she said in the beginning.

    I cant get,

    english is not my first language.

    thanks.

  • I remember seeing this back in '93 when I was 8; my mom was soooooo pissed because my brother and sister let me see this!!!!

  • Carrie Ann! which is the most biggest baldo on the planet?

    Get Da Pictura?

  • who the head of da Pictura?

    -M

  • this is actually a quite funny performance i love it

  • thats Carrie Ann Inaba in the red, Dancing with the Stars judge, showing the world her snatch, priceless, Madonna rules!

  • Beautiful performance!!

  • I like this song, it's a classic

  • fuckin sheilas!!!!!!!!!!

  • Madonna is one of the best choreographers of all time, no?

  • WHAT WAKES YOU UP INSIDE? LOL

  • WHAT WAKES YOU UP INSIDE? LOL

  • This song is for one of my friends @ American Red Cross . Bye Bye Baby this Madonna's Song.. dancing with Madonna was best thing ever happen in my life time baby.

  • Madonna?

    She's not ugly.

  • Carrie Ann on dancing was on the those baldo's. Her hair finally looks good. But she's got a past....she did nasty things with madonna. GET DA PICTURE BALDO?

    Shave that head again and re-do this on dancing with the Stars! it will it 10 / 10 / 10.

    Rootin' for BALDLIE people!

  • The crowd didn't enjoy it? Could've fooled me with that response after the performance. They ate it up and loved it.

  • are you serious this performance was the best all the other siggers just dance or stand and sing she did something diffrent for a change

  • "GET THE PICTURE?" Fabulous Queen of all Divas - we are not worthy :)

  • Those BALDIES turn me on! Three head' bald's lesbo party in madonna's cocooooo! RAM IT IN THERE!

  • madonna is a true performer. often with britney spears or well, any of the "performers" of today i find myself watching an amazingly talented backup dancer during the entier song. here, all you can watch is madonna. the expressions she gives with her face, and watch her hand and cane as they exit. the men plant their canes firm, she shakes her a little, always giving that extra something. that is what made her great.

  • it's cool to know who is the dancer, she was in the girlie show too. In my country doesn't have this program dancing with the stars but i've heard about it and it's cool, the first time i watched this performance but in The Girlie Show, i fall in love with Madonna haha

  • Carrie ann is the one in the red dancing in front on Madonna and now she is judging Dancing with the stars!

  • the good ol days when madonna used to open the vma's and it was special and exciting.

  • there is a backing track, but i believe she is singing along with it for most of it

  • we know ok? we don't mind it! get over yourself

  • I'm a HUGE Madonna fan and I love this performance, but in 1993 almost all of America was disgusted with Madonna and despised her passionately, as you can notice the performance wasn't being felt by the audience whatsoever, but I actually like that! She's like fuck you all...I can care less...I'm Madonna, the queen, and you're just living in my world! hehe...love that about Madonna and the power that she has so fuck those who did hate her or continue to waste their time...

  • yr totally right. 'sex' came out in 92, and of course her album 'erotica'. that's when she left the popularity of mainstream america's conservative approval and became something more, another chapter in the book of madonna ;)

  • She could only do it with us fans... No other star has this passionate fans...

    Thanks to all of you...

  • you can tell the crwod really liked the performance by the response at the end ..this is more of a theatrical performance than a get up and jump song!..such an amazing pefermer!

  • Nice way to put mens perspective in full view.Gay men can say Bye Bye Baby sometimes.:-)Love this version.Thank You!!

  • does anyone know the names of the three gorgeous cropped dancers?

  • I know that one of them is a judge on "Dancing With The Stars"

  • Who are all 3 baldies? i love madonna. Should have been in American Life (macho baldies)

  • Love it!!!! Madonna rulez...preview to the awesome GS :)

  • I remember this. One of my favorites. Love it!

  • wauuu. Madonna and kurt Cobain in the same show ???

  • whos have the 1993 mtv awards i wanna buy

  • WACK. Janet's performance was better.

  • I am a HUGE M fan... but this year gave way to (in my opinion) the best performance by Janet Jackson... Thats the way love goes/If... it was a good VMA year!

  • remeber the girl who is dancing with her is the one Madonna discovered. She became a supermodel who had affair both with Angelina Jolie and Madonna for years at the same time.

  • who? Carrie Ann Inaba? the asian one?

  • yep,she actually came out about it and said that last year because she said Angelina dumped her for Brad Pitt. She said she could not believe she was sleeping both with Madonna and Angelina at the same time.Yet, Madonna discovered her during Girlie Show auditions.I still don't like her for talking about privacy of two women I like.You just don't do that to people you once loved.

  • it's done all the time. People just want to ride on the coattails of fame that's all. Nevermind Shimizu, let's give it up for a very young Carrie Ann sliding down the pole topless in this tour.

  • You are mistaken. The woman you are thinking of is Jenny Shimizu, not Carrie Ann Inaba. Carrie Ann is a judge on Dancing with the Stars now.

  • No I am not, shaved head Asian girl is Jenny Shimizu.Madonna and Jenny were both in MTV special for Girlie show,which I still have and Madonna said she discovered her in a strip club when she was dancing with a pole.Jenny became Clavin Klein model after Girlie Show. Durin the MTV show, she showed her girl tattoe on her arm and said that was Madonna.

  • YES you are mistaken! That's Carrie Ann Inaba from Dancing with the Stars! TRUST ME. Look up Carrie's photo

  • I know Carrie Ann, I am not talking about her.I am talking about Jenny who was on Girlie Show and she was on MTV presantation for Girlie Show. She has a big naked girl tattoe on her form arm.(again she claimed that was Madonna on MTV) Carrie Ann doesn't.

  • Wait a min this is the VMA version of Bye Bye Baby and not the Girlie Show event. My bad...yea it's probably Shimizu.

  • Thanks,hon,I almost doubted if I was really the biggest Madonna fan in the world,and then I started to watch my videos I had taped years ago.She signed her picture for me,I have her original hair and I have seen her 8 times very close in all her concerts. I worked with her dancers.I'd better know this one,otherwise, I would feel like shit.

  • i knew that girl wasn't Shimizu but is it Inaba? and DAMN! if it is...she could really dance...two of my friends were in Blonde Ambition

  • she's asian alright but from what I can see it's not Inaba. It might be Shimizu but the vid is so damn grainy I can't tell. And no, not all asians look alike!

  • when I lived in NYC...after a few years asains started to look as different as anyone...their features were different in the same ways any race would be..

  • yes! I know what you mean cuz I'm asian lol

  • I love madonna in this performance very lesbica LOVE !!!!!!1

  • spank that ass! 2:01

  • lmao she totally fucked up on that lip sync at 2:30

  • Did she have short hair for this performance or hadn't she got it cut yet? I can't tell.

  • I remember this too. She's sexy even as a man.

  • I abso-freaking-lutely love this song!!!

  • I remember this when i was 8 years old at my grandmothers house, who is an "uber-christian"...and as we were watching it...i thought it was the hottest thing ever and a little embarrassed that my grandmother was watching it.madonna does that to people.
