Madonna‘s ‘Borderline‘ received a fresh dose of live life yesterday and her fans have Jimmy Fallon to thank for it.
Keen to celebrate her classic-kissed discography, the entertainer took to Fallon’s talkshow to perform the number 23 years after its release.
Watch below…
The released peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and features background vocals from the late singer Gwen Guthrie following the release of seven studio albums.
Borderline came out in the 80’s not the 90’s. Well that’s what I’ve heard because I wasn’t even born at the time dahhlings! #Eternally12
LMFAOO! Yaaaas Mariah!
LOL.
Ugh Mariah was born 1970, she was definitely alive when Bordeline came out
Um, @ Reality, this flew right over your head, didn’t it.
Dahhling! I discount numbers numerically speaking. I stopped counting at 17

Eh. Borderline came out in 1984. That’s 32 years, not 23.
This is one song of hers that i love, but this was cringeworthy.
the dancing… cringe
She hardly even danced though
Not her best showing, but she is still Queen asf. ?
Keep pushing me, keep pushing my love ?
Classic song, legendary woman. 🙂
Her voice is the ugliest in pop music.
Dreadful.
Take your negativity elsewhere. What’s the matter, Friday and no date? No friends to hang out with this weekend? While everyone else is feeling good, you’re just as bitter as you were on Monday.
Love the song. But the performance was borderline a travesty.
Rihanna tea’s honey lol.
A Rihanna tea
But Rihanna sings better than your fav. #SitDownBitch
The self drag in your avi writes itself ????
No that’s a Madonna tea.
Madonna sings better at 60 years old than Rihanna. That´s saying a LOT! The nerve of calling a performance by Madonna borderline travesty coming from a Rihanna fan LOL
Favorite Madonna song of all! Nice to see it performed live. The lyrics, the music, the 80s feel, just the best!
Borderline was like her first video that MTV played in heavy rotation and her first top 10 hit in the US on the Hot 100. She filmed a video for Burning Up, a single that was released before Borderline, but it was only released in Europe. Gwen Guthrie, one of the back up vocalists on this song, released one of the best gold digging anthems ever in the 80s, Ain’t Nothing Going On But the Rent.
I don’t think Gwen’s song was gold digging, she just wanted a man who was doing something with his life.
The song is real talk
“Borderline” was released in 1984, its 32 years old.
“Something in the way you love me won’t let me be. I don’t want to be your prisoner so baby won’t
you set me free…you just keep on pushing me over the borderline”. aaaahh memories.
Yaaaaaas!
?
Awww. 😛 How cute. You finally posted a selfie. Who’s that guy throwing you in the garbage tho?
Queen
I love this song.
Bish can barely sing (plus at her age she´s lost the beautiful quality her voice had especially between 1995 and 2005) but who cares! In this case it is justified by her amazing catalogue. And hard work and innovation. And being involved in her career 🙂
Somehow i have the feeling her voice gets worse each year…that dancing was awkward
She’s never been that great of a singer, but nowadays she’s just a horrible singer
I love her so much but this version of borderline was terrible. I miss the Madonna voice from the 80’s
She is approaching 60 and still slaying her contemporaries, pressing the pressed.
Nice song
