Hear Madonna’s Impressive Isolated Vocals From Her Grammy Performance

Isolated vocals are one of the Internet’s great obsessions, and they often don’t end well (sorry, Mariah/Taylor/Britney). That makes us all the more pleased when a pop star delivers a demanding performance and still sounds remarkable, as is the case for the vocals purportedly extracted from Madonna’s recent Grammy appearance. The singer’s rendition of “Living for Love” found her being handed off among a mosaic of men dressed as bulls, destroying some ’80s-throwback choreography and still hitting every word during the six-minute performance (atop a recorded vocal track, of course). Anyone who says Madonna isn’t still the master at 56 years old has not been paying attention.
