Tour book of pics taken by Ricardo on his iPhone, facetuned by MyMadonnaLuvin?

We did it guys, I'm so happy. This will probably be my only chance to see her live. I'll be there and will bring my mom who introduced her to me. She was also never able financially to attend one of her concerts, I'm so happy to be able to make both our dreams come true.

Can you please stop dominating threads. Threads are not personal conversations. Right now you are every other post. There’s no reason for that.

This is what I do every time I enter any record store… 😎😃😎

New Blonde Ambition Tee arrived today just in time for tomorrow night show. Pic sucks but I was in a hurry

This week our hosts Brittany Spanos and Rob Sheffield look at an Eighties dance-floor classic, from one of the all-time biggest pop legends: Madonna’s “Into The Groove.” It wasn’t Madonna’s first single (that was “Everybody”) or her first hit (that would be “Holiday”), but “Into The Groove” is the one that instantly evokes Madonna in her raw, gritty early days. It’s a cheap, fast, in-your-face disco anthem that hits as hard as punk rock, from the hungry young Madonna, aiming to sum up the whole history of dance music in one song. “Into The Groove” is still the song at the heart of her lifelong bond with the club scene and the dance community. It’s the one that where she sings right into your ear: “You can dance, for inspiration.” For this episode Brittany and Rob are joined by one of the most brilliant music writers around, Suzy Exposito, a longtime journalist for Rolling Stone and the L.A. Times. They break down the song’s impact on club culture, including the goth world (the dancing boy in the music video became an iconic goth figure in himself!). They’ll also seek to answer the questions of why we’re all so obsessed with this song? Why does it loom so large over Madonna’s other hits? Why is it the gateway drug that hooks so many generations of Madonna fans? Take a listen to find out! [Hidden Content]

Hello everyone! EDIT: Please follow me on Instagram for updates @bitchshesmadonna_ As part of my YouTube channel, to celebrate the finale of the tour being broadcast live I will be doing a special fan voted awards "ceremony" for The Celebration Tour. Categories will include things like best tour costume, best hairstyle, best song arrangement, best ballroom judge, favourite dancer etc. There will also be a countdown of the best performance from the tour as voted by the fans. I would love if you could all click on the two links and vote in each category! (I promise it should only take you a few minutes.) I will share the results on YouTube a few hours before the show in Brazil premieres http://www.polljunkie.com/poll/eixikp/rate-x27the-celebration-tourx27-performances http://www.polljunkie.com/poll/xnerxx/the-celebration-tour

The surprise is that there’s going to be a lot of disappointed people next week

OK THIS IS NOT A DRILL! GUYS I’VE JUST WON THE ITAU EMPLOYEE’S PRIZE DRAW! 😭 They selected 100 Itaú’s bank officers and I am one of them! Still can’t believe it! I’ll be sooooo close to the stage 😭😭😭

Can't believe we're only one month away from the Rio concert. Can't believe I will finally see the Queen live for the very first time, after 16 years waiting for this moment. The 11 yo me always dreamed of seeing her live, but NEVER thought that the first time would be such in a huge and important concert. Just the thought of this makes me shed in tears. Can't believe we'll finally have a decent register of a concert, after years of bad editing choices.

She hated to work with him, but one of her best 80's photoshoots was photographed by him (Rolling Stone 1986) and he also directed one of her best and beautiful videos (The Power of Goodbye). I wish she hates Ricardo with the same passion one day, the most mediocre 'photographer' and 'director' she worked with in her 40-year career.

hey guys! here I am again with some concepts of how the stage could be built in Rio: it's the only thing I can think about honestly I've did some research on how the Rolling Stones concert was built and how the New Year's Eve stage is set up every year. hope you like it!

The disappointment is finally here thank you for pre-ordering, enjoy your stay.

As a Brazilian myself, I'm not even going to entertain the idea of replying to you, because I would probably be banned. Having said that... For the other fans that are truly excited, let's keep the positivity going! It's gonna be a historic night and we all know she'll be GLOWING with happiness for being so welcomed in our beautiful country. 🇧🇷

Some pictures I took in Miami

Madonna - "when i was very yooooung" Copacabana

The most greatest thing we will get Madonna show in live! no filters no awful montage no re recorded sound for the first time since 2008!

So just got home from the Dallas date today. Ended up getting some end of the catwalk front row tickets for $296 a piece and took my friend and mom with our old tickets. DJ Mary Mac was the DJ tonight before the show. Lukewarm reaction and kind of dozed off on the set like I did back on MDNA. The mixes were very meh. Madonna came around after 10 tonight. Very interactive. Mentioned she was starting the show on a bad mood. Her voice was a bit hoarse tonight and noticed she missed a couple of cues during some songs. She almost whacked herself with the mic stand during Burning Up. No Causing a Commotion tonight. The first opening act was glorious live and especially Live To Tell definitely touches the heartstrings. Like a Prayer I ended up loving in person along with the performance and visuals. Erotica was so epic and dark sounding in the arena. Personal favorite of mine and Hung Up brought the house down. She looked at me and my sister during the dance break and smiled at us. Vogue's guest tonight was a drag queen (didn't catch her name) but she walked prior to the show around the floor so it was a given she'd be the best and she did well! Crazy For You got a huge reaction tonight. We got Express Yourself tonight, prior to the song she did her infamous "What's the difference between a popstar and a terrorist?" joke and one guy shouted out the punchline. She seemed shocked and surprised and had a lovely banter with him. I think she was genuinely surprised. Asked us to turn our phone lights on and the crowd sang along. She mentioned the night had gotten better and loved seeing our smiling faces. Bedtime Story (the cube obscured the view) but I loved the mix and how it goes off. Ray of Light was just euphoria from beginning to end. The lights, the remix, the energy!! Loved it. No Rain tonight (though we were in the middle of a thunderstorm tonight) but Take a Bow got a good reaction tonight. The Billie Jean/Like a Virgin interlude got a good reaction and works better live than on video. Still not a fan of the finale but it worked tonight. She seemed in high spirits performing it and having a ball. She missed her veil cue and laughed it off and said goodnight. Overall, it's my fourth time seeing her and my younger sister's first show. Was an amazing ride exploring her rich discography set to the legendary live and career she's lived. For those on the fence or awaiting their upcoming tour dates, you're in for the ride of your lives. Debating tomorrow's show for a two nighter but my god, I'm still on a high! Will try to post photos and videos!

I definitely think the mystery woman in the film Chungking Express portrayed by Brigitte Lin inspired one of the looks of Madame X

Hey there! I've got many pics from the Paris show , here on flickr! I don't know how to add more pics, they are quite big! click on this pic ! Here some samples! Enjoy

after 3 billion years Madonna's fans still believe in surprises

Good pic

Sometimes I wonder how dramatic people would get if we had social media back in 1990 and people recording every show from every angle. "OMG SHE'S OVER SHE LOST HER VOICE AGAIN" "THIS TOUR IS A MESS, EVERY SHOW HAS A DIFFERENT TECH ISSUE" "SHE WAS RUDE TO A FAN" "WTF DID SHE DO WITH HER HAIR, EUROPE'S GOING TO BE A FLOP WITHOUT THE PONYTAIL" "WHERE'S BORDERLINE AND LUCKY STAR, THE SETLIST IS TERRIBLE"

Show is amazing Ricky fucking Martin

Last night was amazing. The Tampa crowd was really into it from the start. Looked to me like the entire crowd were standing up until Bad Girl, then some people started settling into their seats, but not me I stood the whole show. The best performance from where I was sitting to me was ROL. My seat was three rows off the floor just left of center stage. The sound was really good from there and I could hear all of the talking clearly through out the show. Was not her best night vocally but It was still amazing. I will never forget this night. My eyes watering just thinking about it.

For my international fellow fans, a screenshot from the official Itaú page for the concert. "Everyone, in any part of the world, will be able to watch the concert that will be broadcast live by Rede Globo, both through open channel and streaming."

He's coming out as straight?

Finally saw the show! Mixed feelings - loved a lot of the show itself minus the Erotica/JML section (it kind of dragged for me) and the A/C rant which should've been dealt with offstage. She made at least 3 or 4 comments about it. I understand the frustration but it's awkward to see her rant with a half-muted mic about it on stage... Still, loved Ray of Light, Live to Tell, Nothing Really Matters, Take a Bow and Like a Prayer. Favorite part about LAP is a whole family walked out screaming "Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ!" because they thought the intro was satanic. They never came back.

Your unofficial Miami and Mexico City correspondent reporting Room view, there’s a electronic billboard that can’t be seen with this amount of light

Last night was amazing. I wasn't expecting it to be good, sorry, the videos I had seen just wasn't doing it justice. But in person this show is off the charts! I got to see bad girl live, plus burning up demo version, those I was looking forward to. I was in the 300 section but man my seats were great, I could see everything just fine. I sat with some really cool people who were having so much fun. We all sang and danced and just were happy! This was a good last time seeing her. Im glad my last tour was such a beautiful experience. Id give this show a 100 for sure. She was off a tiny bit on a couple of songs but really vocally I couldnt tell there was a backing track. You could here her just fine and she sounded great. She seemed really comfortable and engaged with the audience. I wish I could have scored tickets for tonight as well, Id def go again.

Don't know who did this but potential DVD-Blu-Ray cover if she sees it xd

Love this, just captures how powerful her entrance is

So the tour video Director Sasha Kasiuha has been professionally filming the shows & teased clips on Insta, but since the show in Rio is being broadcast, makes me wonder if we’re getting more than one official release? Will the Broadcast be a 'one off' TV special and we also get the official release that Sasha filmed? Is mamadonna feeding us two pro shot shows?!? If so I think this hasnt happened since we got the WTG japan show officially broadcast and then got the ciao italia show on home video. Hmmmmm makes you wonder...

So last night was incredible. It was my final show of the tour and I saw it from the Danceteria Pit. Today I'm very nostalgic, a little sad, and so so grateful! I'm going to miss this tour so much!! She was super chatty last night! At one point I looked over to other people in the pit and said, "I can't tell if she's in a good mood or a bad mood!" And to that somebody said, "She's in a Madonna mood!" lmao. She did mention being tired, but you couldn't tell. She sounded great and her energy was spot-on. A couple of my pics:

What an unexpected Surprise! A religious themed cover shot in her bedroom, with Madonna as we have never seen before, heavy facetune and tits out! Such a breath of fresh air 😍😍😍

"American Pie" had been a massive UK #1 and one of the monster hits of that year in Europe, so putting it in was an extremely smart commercial decision that helped the album selling more than 11 million copies worldwide. I'm very surprised she was so against that, she's always been smart with business - except for the reason she didn't want to share a cut of the album sales royalties with Don McLean for a song she didn't wrote. Also, it's not like sonically "American Pie" it's miles away from the rest of the album, especially the Orbit tracks. It's literally the same vein. When "Music", the album, was released, it already included two monster smashes: "American Pie" and "Music". Add "Don't Tell Me" weeks later and you have one of the biggest album sellers that Fall. Hit singles sold albums back then. Honestly, "American Pie" should have been even on "GHV2" too, but let's not go there.

She's still in a good shape and from what i've seen at the latest florida shows, her movements have even improved these past few weeks. I'm begging everyone to stop acting like she's senile and focus on how great she's actually doing on this tour.

I think A LOT of people, including fans, were really questioning her stamina going on tour so soon after her medical emergency. And look at her now, zero cancelled shows, a bonus free show for Brazilian fans... the bitch is now unstoppable. I would imagine she's exhausted but a part of me feels like... this is just the beginning. She's absolutely proven her worth. People can pick apart shit but facts are facts, she's still got it. There's no way she's stopping now. This tour is probably the BEST thing that could happen to her right now. I'm so excited for what's next!

❤️

Probally a new photoshoot filtered like hell. Jesus, I hate this guy.

The show was amazing Spent thousands in merchandise Spent hundreds in drinks Im in bed with the guy who was sitting next to me, (no joke) Rinse and repeat tomorrow What else could I ask for?

I took a female friend of mine with me to the show who never was a big fan of Madonna but I talked her into going with me. She liked this so much she purchased tickets to one of the shows in Miami this morning so she could take one of her friends to see her. That right there has made my day.

The answer you were looking for is... "Ok. I will stop dominating threads because I realize that I am annoying every single member of this forum, and if I don't control myself I will probably be banned."

Madonna complaining about someone's ego...

It’s interesting seeing this thread now. I think it just shows how great this tour has been for her career. It’s been the return of Madonna for the fans.

I was at both Dallas shows, so here are some small things I noticed: Night 1: -She started about 15/20 min later than she has been these past few weeks and I didn't really think anything of it until... -During the Burning Up speech she said she was in a mood, but I think she played it off really well and even told the crowd she was feeling a lot better during the Express Yourself speech. -During Celebration, she was saying her thank-you's and she made a very vague apology to Bob, like "Thank you Bob, and I'm sorry for that thing that happened". I wonder if something happened before the show between the two that put her in a funk? IDK, pure speculation. -The show was PHENOMENAL! I was at the 3rd row after the end of the catwalk so I saw her up close during Hung Up, Don't Tell Me & Express Yourself. Seeing her so close almost... humanizes her in a way? Not sure of the right term, but I just kept thinking "Wow, she's 20 feet away from me. And she's just a normal person". You get so used to seeing her in wide stadium shots on DVD and on TV performances and think she is this untouchable entity, but when you're that close she just feels so normal. Like performing is just her job, she just happens to be incredibly good at it. I'm still on a high from seeing her, so this probably doesn't make much sense. Night 2: -I was in the 2nd row of the highest section, so I got a more birds-eye-view of the show. Both floor and upper levels have their strengths and weaknesses. -She was in a GREAT mood all night, and I felt was a lot more chatty with the audience. -Her voice was a little more hoarse than normal so it cracked a few times. Nobody seemed to care. -During both shows, she really stressed her love of being a mother. I think she said night 1 was David's birthday so I think she was in a reflective mood. -Some of the things you think might not really work, surprisingly do when you see it live. I never hated the ending, but thought it could be improved. However, the audience went crazy with all of the reincarnations, so I think it kind of distracts from some of the weaker points of the encore. OVERALL, 10/10 concert. Super looking forward to any streaming/video release so I can re-watch in pro quality.

The country album? Cowboy Ciccone
