Her trademark Music Box-era weightiness and dark timbre in full display.This came on a random YouTube playlist. First time I'm hearing it and when it started, I was like "Jennifer Hudson did a cover of Emotions?"
Seriously. That intro when she sang "Heeeeeeey" sounds like JHud. What in the world.
Also, get into Love Takes Time ha Thanksgiving Special realness.
Maybe I'm used to listening to that performance but that still sounds quintessentially Mariah with that pericing clarity on those belts. I legit did not recognize her timbre when that song was playing in the background, so it took me for surprised when I had to double check. I'm hoping to find more like it.Her trademark Music Box-era weightiness and dark timbre in full display.

I think the closest her voice to sounding as dark was this definitive performance of America the Beautiful.

The opening "OH-HO-LY" and parts of the opening verse are similarly pre-Charmbracelet dark and dusky.Maybe I'm used to listening to that performance but that still sounds quintessentially Mariah with that pericing clarity on those belts.

I'm trying to think of more examples, but nothing much from her studio repertoire comes to mind.

Why is Madonna wearing gold chains and a grill on Fallon?

Madge's career for the past ten years summed up in a single gif tbh.
Let's [ r e f r a i n ] from labeling people we don't like wiTh those hateful terms.

For sure. O Holy Night is pretty close when she dips into those lower registers. The only thing that's blowing my mind is that I didn't even recognize her at all. I didn't know she could produce something that deep and gospel-y.
I think I might have to autoplay a bunch of her obscure live performances during that time period to probably find anything remotely close.

Cute!
All those exposed mammary glands though.
And a link not marked NSFW. You should report yourself.
Tacky but so much fun. I love and use.
I'm new. So people still "stan" madonna in this day and age? Interesting. I'm just an observer. It's just interesting that someone would choose to put effort into "stanning" someone two decades past their prime. Not revering their classics but actually pretending their new shit has some worth, lol..
It's really - tragic - isn't it?
well, to be fair, I respect that they had the courage to choose the advanced level difficulty version of pop-gaf where they're forced to pretend to like a senior citizen awkwardly trying to stay relevant.
It's not like anyone in here was checking for MDNA (unless they just wanted to annoy GaGa stans lol).
PercheD!
I thought it was cute although, the best-danced part of that routine was in that gif.
Get into Ghosttown, S.E.X., Inside Out, Rebel Heart, Holy Water, Best Night, Messiah.
There's only a couple people here who stans for post-hard candy Madonna though. Her prime was ROL, which was about 17 years ago. It's the fact that Madonna is still making new music & doing performances without exactly fading in the background, which is why she's still being talked about.

Who, of the current crop of pop girls, do you suggest we stan? Who is "in their prime" right now? Who is giving us 1995 Madonna right now?
Here's a frame of reference from two decades ago:
Who is serving this type of musical diversity right now? Point me at her and I'll gladly stan.
The audience participation was cute. Not something I expect from Madonna at this stage.
However, why must she insist and persist with these awful grillz? I think she said she likes wearing them because they annoy people. People like me I guess.
(Love Rebel Heart)
yeah this is pretty powerful. what am I doing w my life.

Who, in the present, is as ICONIC as Madonna was in her prime? Or are you just here to throw shade?
I quite enjoyed that.
But let's pretend she isn't relevant any more, k?
go back to your coffin oldonna. let my fave have a chance to be queen, pls.

I have to give Momdonna her props for still being able to move like she does, especially after that fall at the Brit Awards.
This is usually what happens when the older Sistrens have a fall:

It's both cringy and awesome at the same time. Also, I'm pretty sure Madead used Diplo's remix for this, and not the album version.
Btw, is it just me or is she promoting this album way harder than she did with MDNA?
Joan of Arc is growing on me. Halp
Joan of Arc is great. It's Madonna at her tender best. [edit] Rebel Heart is also in the same spirit if Joan of Arc is growing on you.

Why are they not playing Girls Generation in the clubs is beyond me.
