same here. easily her best tour since confessions

I just hope ricardo isn't involved. Last time, We saw Jonas and it turned out ricardo was the director. I don't like his involvement in big projects

When Katy's new album drops this summer and gives us the dance banger featuring Madonna >>>>>>

If I was in charge of that I would do a photo collage of all Madonna's inventions.

I just watched the whole show again and i said it before and i say it again, The Celebration Tour is definitely one of her best... Im so proud of her...

Jonas has been spotted in Mexico

After Confessions on a Dancefloor I wouldn't expect something like Hard Candy. Nevertheless I like it. It was the last of "Warner Madonna". After she moved to Interscope something have changed. I personally felt a shift in vibe of Madonna's music between Hard Candy and MDNA despite both of them being pure pop of that time. And this vibe lasts till now.

wrong thread

it's an album that I appreciate more picking the songs out of it and now from a distance. Mind you I never care much about Bedtime Stories until quite late. As others comment I think the big crash was due to be after the electronic evolution from ROL onwards. She was playing with dance-pop sounds and bringing something different with each album, then she landed into generic 00's sound. But I never like 4 minutes and I can't listen to the album straight. I like 2 songs then I don't care about the next and so on.

"Yo soy loco" means "You drive me crazy" ...more like I'm a madman with bad grammar. Now if you want to say You drive me crazy you'll say- ' Me vuelves loco'

Boxing and candy, but at the end nothing at all lol

What was strange about the concept? I feel like the concept was to make some quick cash with feats from radio friendly voices.

One of the best moment in this tour!

Let’s complain about what we got in terms of music since Madame X: Poopular Vulmit Break My Ass Dung Up On Tokisha Manure Gworl Frozen on Felch Levitating Shit Remix Sorry Blandy Remix Back That Up To the Belch That’s a whole album worth of stinky garbage.

Open Your Heart Human Nature Regular Cover or Human Nature Alternate Cover ?

Finally someone who sounds like they actually have a clue weighs in on the Mercy issue. Of course she's playing live, y'all!

True but I think it’s been a longer gap because she put out singles and remixes. Popular/Vulgar/frozen remixes.

Mercy is definitely playing live. Those supposedly "unplayed" notes are actually percussion sounds from the backing track she's playing to. The five or six piano notes heard in the studio recording before the first verse begins are omitted in every single performance on this tour. However, she's not playing an actual acoustic instrument. It's an average-sounding keyboard built into a mock-up of a grand piano body. If you look closely, there's no functioning pedals but simply a standard keyboard pedal hooked to the built-in keyboard she's playing. There's also no hammer and damper movement whatsoever during her performance. To properly mic an actual piano for one single performance would be a nightmare scenario for any sound engineer. In order for an acoustic piano to pick up as little surrounding noise as possible (sound disturbance being immense given the position of the B-stage and the nearly 360 degrees placement of the sound system), the lid would need to be closed at all times. There are specific piano microphones that perform miraculously under such circumstances and are able to bypass a lot of distracting resonance from drums on stage and audience noise, but obviously the lid is wide open for most of the performance. Settling for a MIDI-controlled mock-up makes sense since wheeling around an actual grand piano from underneath the stage wouldn't be economical due to its weight, transport needs and tuning delicacy. In an unstable A/C (or lack thereof ) environment, a grand piano would detune within minutes and sound off very quickly after being tuned. That said, Mercy certainly is a very good and notably skilled player. She's very consistent in her interpretation of Mayer's "Le regret" but she does add a little extra nice grace note here and there from time to time. She also plays with a sense of urgency and fervour that would be nice to hear on a future studio album of the Madonna family band...

We are truly winning so hard lately. Sigh, its what we deserve

Totally agree with everything!!

I hope if they are going to mix LA and Mexico that the really get her hair and outfits to look as close as possible to the LA dates as is so annoying watching noticeable differences from shot to shot on a recording of a concert - was like the didn't even think about it for Madame X with the constant hair and eye patch changes from shot to shot

So excited that it looks like Jonas is going to doing the concert film - he did an incredible job filming and editing confessions. Wonder if they will use film again like he did for Conferssions as the image quality was stunning. The show really deserves to be filmed by the best. Hope he is in charge of the live broadcast show from Rio too. I hope they really bring it and put on the best shows of the tour for the ones being filmed. The LA shows looked the best to date from the clips and glad they were filmed.

Don‘t forget: London was also filmed professionally. At least partly.

She changes so much an era to another one, I must recognise I didn´t follow her so much from 2017 till this last tour. But I will always love her work pre 2017!! It means so much to me, it was with me as I grew older. And I think at any moment she can be amazing again so I´m waiting. Ok, with this tour she is amazing. It is true that Madame x was not for me at all overall.
