"Vogue" is a song recorded by American singer Madonna for her second soundtrack album I'm Breathless (1990). It was released as the first single from the album on March 20, 1990, by Sire Records. The song was included on her greatest hits compilation albums The Immaculate Collection (1990) and Celebration (2009). Madonna was inspired by Jose and Luis Xtravaganza, dancers and choreographers of the dance of the same name, origined from New York clubs on the underground gay scene, which dancers combined the flamboyant dances of Las Vegas showgirls with pantomime and modeling poses.

"Vogue" is an upbeat dance-pop song which contains a house beat and groove. Noted to contain influences of deep house, it is a contemporary track which followed the trends of dance music in the 1990s. The song also contains a spoken section, in which the singer namechecks various golden era Hollywood celebrities. The song is about enjoying oneself on the dance floor no matter who one is. "Vogue" has been met with appreciation by music critics, who have praised its anthemic nature, and listed it as one of the singer's musical career highlights. Commercially, the song was a success, topping the charts in over 30 countries. It became the world's best-selling single of 1990, selling over six million copies.

The accompaining music video for "Vogue", directed by David Fincher, showed Madonna paying homage to numerous golden era Hollywood actresses. Many of the scenes also are recreations of photographs taken by photographer Horst P. Horst. Shot in black-and-white and taking stylistic inspiration from the 1920 and 30 decades, Madonna and her dancers—all of them from her Blond Ambition World Tour—can be seen voguing different choreographed scenes. Contemporary critics noted the way Madonna used her postmodern influence to expose an underground subcultural movement to the masses.

Madonna has performed "Vogue" in five of her world tours, and also been covered numerous times by different artists. Writers and critics have noted the video and the song's influence in bringing an underground subculture into mainstream popular culture through the postmodern nature of her power and influence, as well as the way in which it followed a new trend in which dance music enjoyed widespread popularity. Its accompanying video have been attributed as bringing voguing as well as house music mainstream, with the former becoming one of the decade's major dance crazes.

Background edit

After a string of 16 consecutive top-five hits on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart—more than any other act in history—Madonna's fourth single from her album Like a Prayer (1989), "Oh Father", only managed to reach number 20.[1] To ensure that the last single from the album, "Keep It Together", would fare better on the charts, Madonna decided to create a new song to be placed on the flipside of "Keep It Together". Producer Shep Pettibone revealed that he was asked for a new music since Madonna really liked his remixes of "Like a Prayer" and "Express Yourself". He recalled, "She liked it a lot, and she came to New York on the red-eye, very tired, and wrote most of the lyrics on the plane coming in".[2] At the same time, Madonna saw dancers vogueing in the New York City gay underground scene. This type of dance was combined by the flamboyant dances of Las Vegas showgirls with pantomime and modeling poses.[3][4] Inspired by the dance, she decided to call the song "Vogue".[2]

After presenting the song to Warner Bros. executives, all parties involved decided that the song was too good to be put on a B-side and it should be released as a single. "The record company went bananas, her manager went bananas. Everybody said. This is a major hit smash record — we're not going to lose it as a B-side on 'Keep It Together'", Pettibone recalled.[2] Although the song itself had nothing to do with Madonna's then-upcoming Disney movie Dick Tracy, it was included on the album I'm Breathless, which contained songs from and inspired by the film. Madonna altered some of the suggestive lyrics because the song was connected to the Disney film via soundtrack.[5] Madonna commented about the song's development during in an interview with Rolling Stone:

I wrote it when I was making Dick Tracy. After we shot the movie, [then boyfriend] Warren Beatty asked me if I could write a song that would fit my character's point of view, that she could have conjured up. She was obsessed with speakeasies and movie stars and things like that. The idea for the lyrics came through that request. Coincidentally, I was going to Sound Factory and checking out these dancers who were all doing this new style of dancing called vogueing. And Shep Pettibone, who co-produced "Vogue" with me, used to DJ there. That's how it grew together.[6]

Composition edit

"Vogue" is a house song with notable disco influence.[7][8][9] The song has been noted by Allmusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine to have a "deep house groove" and to have a "throbbing beat" by Mark Coleman of Rolling Stone.[10][11] The backing track also includes elements of salsa-influenced soul music, notably in the form of samples of horns and strings from the 1982 Salsoul Orchestra track "Ooh I Love It (Love Break)", the inclusion of which was later the subject of a lawsuit.[12]

J. Randy Taraborrelli, in his book Madonna: An Intimate Biography, wrote that the song was a "pulsating dance track".[13] According to sheet music published at Musicnotes.com at Alfred Publishing, the song is written in the key of A♭ major, has a tempo of 116 beats per minute, and in it, Madonna's vocal range spans from C4 to E♭5.[14] Lyrically, the song has a theme of escapism,[11] and talks about how any person can enjoy themself. In the bridge, the song has a spoken rap section, in which Madonna references numerous "golden era" Hollywood celebrities.

The lyrics of the song's rap section feature the names of sixteen old Hollywood stars from the 1920s to the 1950s. In order of mention in the lyrics, they are: Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, Joe DiMaggio, Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean, Grace Kelly, Jean Harlow, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Rita Hayworth, Lauren Bacall, Katharine Hepburn, Lana Turner and Bette Davis. Ten of the stars mentioned in the song (namely Davis, Dean, Dietrich, DiMaggio, Garbo, Harlow, Rogers, Turner, and both Kellys) were entitled to a royalty payment of $3,750 when Madonna performed "Vogue" at the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show in 2012 as their images were used in the 'set dressing' of the performance.[15] At the time, Bacall was the lone living star. She died at the age of 89 in 2014.[16]

Lawsuit edit

Madonna and Pettibone were sued by VMG Salsoul in June 2012 based on the accusation that they had sampled the 1976 composition called "Love Break" by the Salsoul Orchestra.[17] In the lawsuit, VMG alleged that horns and strings were taken from the earlier track and hidden intentionally in "Vogue" without permission by Pettibone, who they hired to mix "Love Break" and who later worked on "Vogue".[18] They looked for compensation two decades later since it took more modern technology to discover the alleged sample. “The unauthorized sampling was deliberately hidden by [Madonna] within 'Vogue' so as to avoid detection. It was only when VMG specifically looked for the sample, with the technology available to it in 2011, that the sampling could be confirmed". VMG said it attempted to give notice of copyright infringement twice before in July 2011 and again in February 2012.[17] The case was settled in Madonna's favor; the judge found that "no reasonable audience" would be able to discern the sampled portions, as they were insignificant to "Vogue".[19]

Critical reception edit

"Vogue" has received generally positive reviews from critics. AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine claimed that the song was "Madonna's finest single moment" and that it had an "instantly memorable melody".[10] In a review of The Immaculate Collection, Erlewine also claimed that the song was "sleek" and "stylish".[20] Jose F. Promis, in another AllMusic review, claimed that "Vogue" was a "crowning artistic achievement".[21] In a 1990 review of I'm Breathless, Mark Coleman from Rolling Stone wrote that, whilst the song initially sounded "lackluster", within the album's context, it "gains a startling resonance".[11] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine, in his review of the album as a whole, claimed that while the "hugely influential" song initially sounded "grossly out of place", it turns out to be "a fitting finale" for I'm Breathless.[22]

Jim Farber from Entertainment Weekly, in a relatively negative review of I'm Breathless, asserted that the "finale of Vogue" is "the sole bright spot".[23] J. Randy Taraborrelli, in his book, Madonna: An Intimate Biography, wrote that the song was a "funky, uptown anthem celebrating the art of 'voguing'", as well as that the rap section "is still one of Madonna's greatest camp musical moments".[24] Tony Power from Blender called the song "fabulous", and "entirely incongruous".[25]

"Vogue", in addition, has received numerous accolades. It won the 1991 Juno Award for Best Selling International Single,[26] as well as winning the American Music Award for Favorite Dance Single. The song, based on the 1990 Rolling Stone Reader's Poll Awards, was voted Best single.[27]

Music video edit

Background and development edit

 
David Fincher directed the song's music video; he had previously worked with the singer on "Express Yourself" and "Oh Father" (1989).

The accompanying music video for "Vogue" was directed by American film director David Fincher, who had previously directed Madonna's videos for "Express Yourself" and "Oh Father" (1989).[52] The video was filmed on February 10–11, 1990, at The Burbank Studios in Burbank, California. It was produced by Vicki Niles, under Propaganda Films, with editing by Jim Haygood, and principal photography by Pascal Lebegue.[53] Fincher recalled that Madonna was pressured to rush with the video's shooting after "Oh Father" was dissapointing on music charts, saying:

"I had kinda talked Madonna into releasing "Oh Father" as a single and we did this video and we were very happy with the video and nobody ever saw it because the song wasn't a hit so she came back to me and said, 'You screwed me up. You wanted to make this video for the song and no one liked the song and I went to bat for you and now I have to make a video by Tuesday.' And I said, 'What's the song called?' And she said, 'Vogue'. And I said, "Okay, we'll get a bunch of stuff together and we'll make a video on Tuesday"."[54]

The video for "Vogue" was brought together after a rushed casting call in Los Angeles, where hundreds of different sorts of dancers appeared, with Madonna whittling them down within a matter of days and inviting them out to clubs to make sure they "could deliver".[55] Voguing pioneers already famous in New York's underground ballroom scene, Luis Camacho and Jose Gutierez, were two of the first to audition for the singer, albeit not at a formal audition but at a nightclub in New York. Their friend's boyfriend was friends with Madonna's makeup artist at the time, Debi Mazar.[56] They thought they would send a tape and would not receive a response. However, they got a call back saying, "Madonna would love to see you guys", according to Camacho.[56] So they met the singer at the Tracks nightclub. "Madonna was like, 'Hey, nice to meet you; I heard you do this vogue thing, can I see?'. And I'm in my Saturday evening's best Gaultier outfit, like, 'I don't think I want to drag on the floor right now'", according to Gutierez. So she made her bodyguard give him his pants while he waited in the VIP bathroom with a towel. They auditioned, and when the club noticed it, the whole club turned into an audition. "She was like, 'Sit here with me; tell me what you think', and we sat on the speaker for an hour or two", Gutierez said. Their impromptu audition impressed Madonna enough to invite them to official auditions, and the opportunity to choreograph the video.[56]

In the absence of Fincher's extensive pre-production routine, the black-and-white video leans on static iconography, recalling the look of films and photography from The Golden Age of Hollywood with the use of artwork by the Art Deco artist Tamara de Lempicka and an Art Deco set design.[52] Many of the scenes are recreations of photographs taken by photographer Horst P. Horst, including his famous "Mainbocher Corset", "Lisa with Turban" (1940), and "Carmen Face Massage" (1946). Some of the close-up poses recreate noted portraits of such stars as Marilyn Monroe, Veronica Lake, Greta Garbo,[57] Marlene Dietrich, Katharine Hepburn, and Jean Harlow, who were also name-checked in the song's lyrics.[58] Several famous Hollywood portrait photographers whose style and works are referenced include George Hurrell,[59][60] Eugene Robert Richee,[61] Don English,[62] Whitey Schafer, Ernest Bachrach, Scotty Welbourne, Laszlo Willinger, and Clarence Sinclair Bull.[63] The choreography was set by "Punk Ballerina" Karole Armitage.[58] The video had its premiere on MTV on March 29, 1990.[64]

Synopsis edit

The black-and-white video begins with a feather curtain covering the screen, which are disclosed raise several dancers posing in the background can be seen paintings by Tamara de Lempicka and Greek statues. Madonna begins singing the song turning around striking a pose, while dancers are marching fashionly, with others sitting on chairs to relax. During the first verse, the singer wearing a sheer lace dress frames are intercalated with the ones she is shown floating above a satin covered floor. In the first chorus, the singer, wearing a tunic, begins to execute the choreography with three male dancers, the dance is performed only by hands, standing still. In the second verse, the singer walks in front of a huge window, wearing a black long dress, similar to photos or moments reminiscent of Dietrich, Katherine Hepburn and Jean Harlow.

In the second interpretation of the chorus, three dancers execute a specific choreography, generically called "vogue", but unlike the first chorus, not standing still but moving in different corners of the frame. Part of the chorus and the next one captures the singer imitating Jean Harlow and a photo by Horst. P. Horst. The third chorus depicts the singer dancing with just one man. In the rap part, she namechecks Bette Davis and Marlene Dietrich, and in the last chorus all the dancers and two backup singers perform the song along with Madonna, who opens her blouse and dances showing her conic bra. The scenes are intercalated with several sequences where Madonna imitates Horst P Horst's "Mainbocher Corset" picture. The video ends with curtain of feathers being pulled over dancers and the singer.

Reception and analysis edit

Horst was reportedly "displeased" with Madonna's video because he never gave his permission for his photographs to be used and received no payment or acknowledgement from Madonna.[65] Horst's manager declared, "You can't fault her taste. But the video should have been called 'Hommage to Horst'. We just wish we could have worked something out beforehand-like doing an original photograph of her in the nude". However, Madonna's spokeswoman responded that "she's a great admirer of Horst. We didn't mean to upset him".[66] Additionally, there was some controversy surrounding the video due to a scene in which Madonna's breasts could be seen through her dress. MTV wanted to remove this scene, but Madonna refused, and the video aired with the shot intact.[67] Madonna remembered this case when speaking to ABC's Nightline about MTV banning the "Justify My Love" video in 1990. "I thought that once again I was going to be able to bend the rules a little bit", she commented.[67]

"Vogue" music video received a total of nine MTV Video Music Awards nominations in 1990, becoming her most-nominated video at the award show. It won Best Direction, Best Editing and Best Cinematography.[68] MTV placed the video at the second on their list of "100 Greatest Music Videos Ever Made" in 1999.[69] It was also ranked at number five on "The Top 100 Videos That Broke The Rules", issued by MTV on the channel's 25th anniversary in August 2006.[70] In 1993, Rolling Stone magazine listed the video as the 28th best music video of all-time.[71]

Live performances edit

"Vogue" has been performed on seven of Madonna's concert tours. The was first performance was on the Blond Ambition World Tour of 1990. It featured the singer wearing a black sports cone bra with lycra shorts while the dancers wore black spandex. Madonna did the original choreography from the song's music video while the backdrops depicted Tamara de Lempicka paintings.[72] Slant Magazine felt that the performance "came closest to capturing the essence of the gay ballroom scene the lyrics were inspired by: presentational, preening, and all about the pose".[73] Two different performances were taped and released on video, the Blond Ambition – Japan Tour 90, taped in Yokohama, Japan, on April 27, 1990,[74] and the Live! – Blond Ambition World Tour 90, taped in Nice, France, on August 5, 1990.[75] It was also one of the performances included in the documentary, Madonna: Truth or Dare (1990).[76] The song was then performed at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards, where Madonna and her dancers were clad in 18th century-inspired fashions, inspired by Marie Antoinette. The singer re-created an 18th-century French court, with sexual innuendo in the performance. At one point the singer flipped open her large skirt, allowing one of her dancers to crawl inside and come out through the other side.[77] Her dancer Carlton Wilborn explained that "[such] level of production had never been done on MTV. The costumes, the fans, the drama... MTV just had no idea, we just came out and rocked." O'Brien described the performance as a "moment of inspired brilliance", while Taraborrelli noted it as a "classic, camp show that elevated the standards of future performances on that program".[78][79] It was later ranked by Billboard as the sixth best performance in the history of the award show.[80] Later that year, Madonna performed the track on the AIDS Project Los Angeles.[81]

Three years later, Madonna included "Vogue" on The Girlie Show World Tour, where it was given a Thai-themed performance.[82] She wore an ensamble consisting of black sequined hot pants and bra paired with knee-high military boots and a large beaded headdress that was described by her brother Christopher Ciccone as "part Erté, part Zizi Jeanmaire".[83] In his book Madonna As Postmodern Myth, journalist Georges Claude Guilbert felt that the choreography of the performance "had as much to do with Indian and Thai folk dancing as with Harlem drag queens".[84] Santiago Fouz-Hernández and Freya Jarman-Ivens criticized the singer for placing "her signature over-exaggeration and deformation on Asian worldview and Hinduism".[82] The performance on the November 19, 1993 show at Sydney Cricket Ground was recorded and released on VHS and Laserdisc on April 26, 1994, as The Girlie Show: Live Down Under.[85] 11 years later, Madonna opened the Re-Invention World Tour with a performance of the song in a Marie Antoinette-themed setting.[86] As the introduction video set to "The Beast Within" ended, she arrived on stage atop a rising platform dressed in a jewel encrusted silver corset created by designer Christian Lacroix, stockings and black knee-high heeled boots.[87][88] As she sang the song, Madonna stroke yoga poses and at one point, supported herself on her forearms.[89] Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine commented that the performance gave new meaning to the slogan "strike a pose".[90] A performance of "Vogue" from this tour was included in the I'm Going to Tell You a Secret live album and documentary.[91]

A modernized version of "Vogue", that sampled Madonna's own "4 Minutes" and Timbaland's "Give It to Me", was included on the Sticky & Sweet Tour (2008–2009).[92] Madonna was dressed in a black leotard and fishnet tights while the dancers wore in bondage-inspired lingerie over flesh-colored bodysuits; together they did a synchronized choreography to the song.[93] It received generally mixed reviews from critics; Slant Magazine felt that "the lasting influence [of "Vogue"] compared unfavorably against the instant irrelevance of '4 Minutes'".[73] Similarly, Ben Wener from the Orange County Register criticized the track for losing "its tunefulness amid an unnecessary house beat".[94] The performance was included on the Sticky & Sweet Tour live CD and DVD release, recorded during Madonna's four shows in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in December 2008.[95] In 2012, Madonna opened the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show with a performance of the song. It began as a procession to the stage, with men dressed as gladiators pulling a large structure hidden from view by large gold-colored flags. As "Vogue" began the flags were removed, revealing Madonna in a long, gold-colored cape and an ancient-Egyptian headdress seated on a large throne.[96] As the procession reached the stage, the singer began performing the song. During the chorus, the stadium floor lit up to reveal animated Vogue magazine covers.[97] Slant Magazine praised the singer for "opening her performance at the Super Bowl, arguably the most heterosexual audience she’s ever appeared in front of, with perhaps the gayest anthem in her catalogue".[73]

"Vogue" was also included on The MDNA Tour (2012), in which Madonna wore an ensamble consisting of a suit and a cage corset with conical bra cups, while the dancers were dressed in black and white avant-garde outfits.[98] The singer's outfit was designed by Jean Paul Gaultier. In an interview with Women's Wear Daily, Gaultier said that "we played with the ideas of a suit and a corset. But the corset is now like a cage [...] What I have done this time is a nod to the conical bra corset of the Blond Ambition tour but reinterpreted in 3-D, in patent leather on the outside with metallic leather on the inside. It’s all about masculine and feminine".[99] For the performance, chandeliers were hung on the background while the screens flashed the song’s title and black and white 1950s fashion imagery.[98][100] The performance received positive reviews, with Nisha Gopalan from The Hollywood Reporter calling it one of the "true crowd-pleasers that elicited as many squeals as it did goosebumps".[101] The performance of the song at the November 19–20, 2012, shows in Miami, at the American Airlines Arena were recorded and released in Madonna's fourth live album, MDNA World Tour.[102]

On the Rebel Heart Tour (2015–2016), Madonna performed a mashup of "Vogue" and "Holy Water", a song from her thirteenth studio album Rebel Heart.[103] Towards the end of the performance of "Holy Water", she began singing "Vogue"'s rap and chorus while writhing against a dancer dressed as nun in hot pants, bikini tops and high-heeled boots while other dancers simulated an orgy at the Last Supper.[104] The Sydney Morning Herald's Michael Lallo pointed out that "you've never seen what's normally a slick, elaborate dance number performed with such darkness".[105] The performance at the March 19–20, 2016 shows in Sydney's Allphones Arena was recorded and released in the singer's fifth live album, Rebel Heart Tour.[106] On December 6, 2016, Madonna sang "Vogue" during the Carpool Karaoke segment of the The Late Late Show with James Corden.[107] On June 30, 2019, Madonna performed "Vogue" as part of her mini concert at the Stonewall 50 – WorldPride NYC 2019, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots. It was the opening song of the show, as she entered the stage in a black trench coat amid a troupe of identically dressed dancers.[108] For the 2019–20 Madame X Tour a similar performance was done, with performers on stage dressed in the same blonde wigs and black trench coats with sunglasses. Up and down the stairs, across the stage, the imposters were everywhere and then Madonna appears.[109]

Cover versions edit

Finnish band Waltari released a cover of the song on their 1992 album Torcha!.[110] The Chipettes also covered it on their 1996 album Club Chipmunk: The Dance Mixes.[111] A dance version by Mad'House can be found on their album Absolutely Mad released in 2002.[112] The 1999 compilation album, Virgin Voices: A Tribute To Madonna, Vol. 1, features a cover version by British electronic music group Astralasia.[113] The song is featured in the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada during a scene with Anne Hathaway.[114] In 2006 and 2007, Australian singer Kylie Minogue performed it in her tour Showgirl: The Homecoming Tour, with her song "Burning Up" from her eighth studio album Fever as the background music.[115] It was also performed on her For You, For Me Tour in 2009.[116] Rihanna covered the song during a performance on the 2008 Fashion Rocks.[117]

Beth Ditto has covered "Vogue" on several live performances, including at Moscow Miller Party.[48] She also paid homage to "Vogue" with the video of her single "I Wrote the Book".[118] In 2010, Fox TV show Glee, Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) made a parody of the "Vogue" music video on a episode titled "The Power of Madonna", with the name of Ginger Rogers replaced by the name of Sue Sylvester, and the phrase "Bette Davis we love you" replaced by the phrase "Will Schuester I hate you".[119] The song charted at number 106 on the UK Singles Chart.[120] In 2014, Katy Perry used a snippet of "Vogue" and mashed it with her own song "International Smile", during The Prismatic World Tour.[121] The following year, Ariana Grande performed a medley of "Vogue" and Whitney Houston's "I'm Every Woman" at New York City Pride's Dance on the Pier.[122]

Legacy edit

"It’s possible this is the song in all of Madonna’s incomparable catalogue that’s had the greatest cultural impact. 'Vogue' ruled the airwaves in every corner of Earth in the summer of 1990, and it’s still a hot topic right now (thanks in part to FX’s acclaimed series Pose). A Pettibone co-production, it brought an underground movement into the mainstream; winking to (and even name-checking) the past while creating something cutting-edge. It’s also very possible that 'Vogue' is the ultimate LGBTQ Pride Month anthem".

—Parade's Samuel R. Murrian talking about "Vogue" on his ranking of Madonna's 100 best songs.[123]

Bill Lamb from About.com placed "Vogue" at number 10 in his list "Top 10 Pop Songs of 1990" and 17th in "Top 100 Pop Songs of the 1990s."[124][125] In 2003, Madonna fans were asked to vote for their "Top 20 Madonna singles of all-time" by Q magazine. "Vogue" was allocated the fourteenth spot.[126] In 2007, VH1 ranked fifth the song on its list of "Greatest Songs of the 90s".[127] Slant Magazine listed "Vogue" as tenth "Best Singles of the '90s",[128] as well as third in their list of the "100 Greatest Dance Songs".[129] The song was also ranked as the fourth best song of 1990 on that year's Pazz & Jop poll by The Village Voice.[130]

The Daily Telegraph named it "the most iconic female dance moment in history".[131]

Even though she been accused of cultural appropriation, many critics and academics agree that with the song, Madonna brought the underground "vogueing" into the mainstream culture.[129]


Before the singer popularized the dance, voguing was only performed in bars and disco of New York City on the underground gay scene.


Author Lucy O'Brien, in her book Madonna: Like an Icon, wrote a detailed description of the song's influence:

'Vogue' became the Number 1 hit of that summer, played in clubs across the globe, from London to New York to Bali. It rode the crest of the newly emerging dance craze, where club culture, house music and techno met the mainstream. 'Vogue' reflected the new hedonism; positive, upbeat, and totally inclusive.[132]

In 2019, the impact the song and its video had on the underground scene was featured in the second season of FX'S series Pose, which takes place around the time when it was released.[133] Series o-creator Steven Canals told The Hollywood Reporter that "if we're looking at the history of ballroom and specifically that moment in time, what Madonna did was bring ballroom to the mainstream. She introduced the world to this community who, up until that point in time, had been a subculture".[134] Dominique Jackson, who plays the role of Elektra Abundance, recalled that the video had a profound influence on her; "when I saw it, it was like, wait a second, all I have to do is get out of this island and maybe I can exist because there are gay people out there [...] It showed the world that LGBTQ people were not only worthy but very talented".[135][134]

The song is also noted for bringing house music into mainstream popular music,[136] as well as for reviving disco music after a decade of its commercial death. Erick Henderson of Slant Magazine explained that the song "was instrumental in allowing disco revivalism to emerge, allowing the denigrated gay genre to soar once again within the context of house music, the genre disco became in its second life."[137] Sal Cinquemani of the same publication wrote that the song was "making its impact all the more impressive (it would go on to inspire a glut of pop-house copycats) and begging the question: If disco died a decade earlier, what the fuck was this big, gay, fuscia drag-queen boa of a dance song sitting on top of the charts for a month for?"[128]
