"Bad Girl" - Madonna on SNL

There are a number of Madonna threads. No need to start a new one. Apologize and go find one of them.

R1 Fuck you jealous bitch

Outstanding

I like this song but I don't understand why she released it when she was at the peak of the Sex/Erotica backlash. She should have moved to Rain as the third single as it did much better (#14) than Bad Girl (#36). I think Rain might have went top 10 if she had released it as the third single.

Great underrated song and she really looks and sounds pretty terrific here.

Someone needs to show her this now so she'll stop embarrassing herself and her legacy.

One of her best live performances

She sounds so much better here than on the record where she did every song in one take, errors or not. However, Bad Girl is supposed to be somber and mournful so her record vocals fit the song better.

Christopher Walken in the video

Great lyrics. Great song. She shouldn’t have released it as it was not a radio friendly single but the video is fantastic.

Great understated clothes, hair, musician's style and vibe

Erotica was really one of her best eras. She went completely with her artistic instincts.

Very nice

She’s gorgeous. Damn

Thanks OP. This song took me back to when I was 25. It’s weird how some music evokes such a visceral response. That entire Erotica album does it for me.

I miss this Madonna. Not the drunk fat plastic surgery joke we have now.

R15 We had every major celeb go through something like this. She’ll come to her senses. You watch when she signs back to Warner so they can be in sync with music rights and certifications she’ll be back to more the Madonna we know and love/hate/love.

Great live performances and one of my favourite Madge videos.

Besides Christopher Walken the video also has James Rebhorn, Tomas Arana (The Bodyguard), Mark Margolis (Oz). David Fincher directed so many memorable videos.

I love the big Erotica singles ("Bye Bye Baby" can choke) but I actually think Madonna's vocals are disappointing. She moves through her registers so poorly.

R17 I didn’t know he directed. And she looks fantastic. So pretty.

This Madonna is gone. She will never be back.

R18 Are you talking about this performance? She sounds great but had some tongue tension. This song is hard to sing.

I've never seen this before, and it really is evocative of her stage vibe at that time, very dark, nightclub type stuff. Love it. Not sure why they stretched it to six minutes though 🤔

Secret remix video

I didn't like this weird period when she shaved her eyebrows off.

The music video for Bad Girl ripped off LOOKING FOR MR GOODBAR.

When Madonna was perfectly perfect

R25 David Fincher directed the video

I love this period of Madonna. The 90's were really her golden age. Erotica, Bedtime Stories, Ray of Light and then in 2000 Music. There was no better time for her musically.

I overheard people talking about Madonna's videos for Bad Girl and Open Your Heart the day after they world premiered on MTV

Legendary performance

That was a good look for her, I thought she looked beautiful in the video for this song

Bad Girl is the best video she's ever done.

I don't remember this song at all (I was about 13). But she sounds better than I've ever heard.

Not that that's saying much. But still...
