Cover Versions
Kelly Clarkson, winner of the first season of American reality TV show American Idol, performed the song on her first audition. The 1999 compilation album, Virgin Voices: A Tribute To Madonna, Vol. 1, features a cover version by Information Society. The Chipettes released a cover version of the song (with two brief lines sung by Alvin and the Chipmunks) for the 1991 album The Chipmunks Rock the House. A Eurodance cover by Who's That Girl was released through Almighty Records during the 2000s, along with Madonna's single "Holiday" (1983). Both the songs were treated with various remixes. In 2010, the female leads of the Fox TV show Glee performed the song in the episode titled "The Power of Madonna". When the fictional character Will Schuester observes a cheer leading group in the episode performing a routine with stilts to Madonna's "Ray of Light", he is inspired to set a Madonna-themed assignment for the members of the fictional Glee club, New Directions. To this, the female members of the club perform "Express Yourself", much to the uneasiness of the male members. This version was released on the soundtrack album Glee: The Music, The Power of Madonna, and reached number 132 on the UK Singles Chart.
