I know it's generally known that she doesn't have a big voice.
I just listened to American Pie again after several years. The first millisecond of the song is already off key lol, and the rest of the song is laced with loud ass background singers. I never really noticed back then when it would come on the radio.
It just reminds me of how TLC is mostly Debra Killings on the background vocals.
I do think she sounded really good on some songs on Bedtime Stories and Ray Of Light. To me, Hard Candy was the start of her sounding really "robotic", like she's holding back in order to not get off key. The verses on Celebration are terribly bland.
In my opinion she's on a level with Jennifer Lopez when it comes to singing, maybe worse.
No not really.
But she's unbelievably creative.
Not at all. Same with Janet tbh
Madonna is one of the worst vocalists in pop tbh
& Yea j. Lo is better. She can beat Britney and Selena though. Same level as Taylor, maybe worse.
Jennifer Lopez sucks too but she is slightly better than Madonna which isn't saying much.
I am not sure about now since she's aged but up until Hard Candy she's proven herself to be not only a good singer but an all around great musician. Nobody can lay down some hit pop vocals and a hook quite like Madonna. Her body of work is just stunning.

I disagree. Janet's harmonies are heavenly.
Not a good live singer though.
Madonna had an ok voice. She sounded great in the 80s.
She doesn?t have much and it was painfully obvious in the 90s during the vocal divas era.
Gringa lo wish she could sing songs like border line, like a Prayer, take a bow and the Elvita Mess.
Don?t think gringa even knows what a fucking note is.
Janet>>>Madge

Jans is a great live singer but since she?s a dancer, it doesn?t make sense for her to sing live most of the time.
Her voice has never been anything special.
Although the vocal training she got during Evita
did give her a lil something at that time.

Gradonna can sing.
I'd put her in the Vanessa Williams category.
Take A Bow alone gave her vocal cred in my book.
Singing doesn't always mean screaming and hollering.
or a bunch of runs and mess.

Is it weird that Jen only sounds decent to me when she sings in Spanish?

Give it up delishus

Where?s that delivah video?!
:plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:
Madonna wasn't as good as Mariah, Whitney, Celine etc. but she's definitely a good singer.
She SLAYED this 1991 Academy Awards performance
Ack!
I think her voice is much better suited for jazz records than pop records tbh because the entire Dick Tracy: I'm Breathless soundtrack slayed.
I hope she does a jazz album one day, but it's been decades since this performance so who knows how her current vocals sound like.

I can't believe how ahead of the game she was with that album
I have really grown to love Madonna. As a kid, all I knew was Janet. But being older and looking back at both careers, Madonna is like..... EVERYTHING! Musically, visually, as a business woman, as a performer.....
The way she transitioned her career to become a touring force and didn't rely on her catalog of hits to carry her forever. The risks she always takes. Constantly changing it up with new sounds and producers.
UGH!
She is MOTHER!

a bit better though
I was just blackin the fuck owt to LOVE? alber last night.

In all honestly, she can?t sing for shit. She can hold a proper tune 30% of the time but who cares, she?s Madonna..
Her voice worked for her music.

She just copied what Kylie and all the European pop gorls did before her on that album. Nice record though.

This is true too
Yes.
and while she lacked the power of other 90s divas (Celine, Whitney, Mariah etc) she puts lots of emotion into what she has. Her ballads are some of her best work.
Take A Bow is still :flamebroiled:
and 95% of her tour stuff is always sang live which I always appreciate.
I prefer her 90s voice tbh I think her LIVE vocal peak was probably during the Blond Ambition tour. Studio wise I think her best vocal showcase was definitely the Ray of Light album.
But yeah not much more needs to be said tbh, Cody and Preme pretty much summed it up
