Madonna's mic was on baby! Full out singing and dancing non-stop. No lip-syncing on that Live Aid stage. I remember these performances like it was yesterday. What a time to be alive!

[CSmith-mmkg]

All that moving, dancing, and really singing...no voice-overs, no lip syncing, no tapes to fill in....this is the real deal. To sing and be winded takes strength, stamina, and training. She is basically singing while leading an aerobics class! Amazing! I loved being in my 20s in the '80's! Best decade ever for music.

I love this song, her very first big hit! I taught aerobics to this, got my college degree, married the LOVE OF MY LIFE, all in the mid eighties! I married the most handsome, sexy, sweet man that God ever lut on this earth in 1985. He passed away from cancer, a brain tumor. In March of 2012. He was/is my soulmate, and he always took me out dancing, we got dressed UP & GOT DOWN!!! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN, 80's music takes me too my happy places! I am 60 now, but I crank it up and dance like I am 22!

Madonna is one of the greatest performers ever in my opinion. She is a great dancer

[SwampYankee-ob]

You will notice when Madonna dances and sings live you have hear it, it’s normal to be out of breath and to change the melody as needed to get through the number. This is what live performances were all about, the artist performing their songs with musicians giving you something unique and special.

[Pennysam]

This is the Madonna I love - takes me back to my childhood… fun times… look at all those people in the audience…fabulous 🎉

[charliereed]

Real voice, 2 dancers and no background screens or special effect lightings, Just pure raw and the crowd went wild about her.

[rastanz]

I remember watching this live on my Panasonic big screen television back in 1985, Madonna killed it!!! Her energy is just phenomenal!!!

[gregorycomunale]

He shook up the 80s big time with his style, voice, music, fashion, people were dressing like him in the clubs. He was always on every talk show. He broke the pop music mold.🤩

[marciaskaetta]

Singing and dancing .. no autotune … that’s a true performer.

[niletoo]

I was there and she was fabulous, so natural chatting with the crowd and the dancing, just great.

[lightoftheworld]

Her confidence is off the charts. Back in 84, as a 12-year old. I was crazy about „Holiday“, still all those years later a great, catchy song.

[stevensmith]

Madonna sounded so crisp with her signature voice nuaces here. This crowd was enormous in size but did not even phase Madonna. She was and still is a Beast!!
