If it's someone i hate i would recommend "Madame X"

Just to compile the information shared thus far into one post: FOR THOSE OF US OUTSIDE OF BRAZIL WHO WISH TO WATCH THE SHOW/BROADCAST LIVE: 1. THE SHOW WILL BE BROADCAST ON TV GLOBO & MULTISHOW. YOU WILL NEED TO CREATE A GLOBOPLAY ACCOUNT. The show will be broadcast on TV Globo (a free TV channel in Brazil) and on Multishow (a paid for channel in Brazil). We currently expect that the TV Globo (free) broadcast will start closer to the show start time, whereas the Multishow (paid) broadcast should include Diplo’s full DJ set, etc. We can expect to see the programme listing here by Wednesday 1st May/Thursday 2nd May, and on the day, there should be a banner on Globoplay. You can create a free Globoplay account to gain access to TV Globo here. Alternatively, you can sign up and pay to gain access to Multishow here with the ‘Globoplay + canais’ subscription. 2. YOU WILL NEED TO USE A VPN THAT HAS BRAZILIAN SERVERS. Due to copyright restrictions, you will need to use a VPN that enables you to connect to Brazilian servers in order to watch the TV Globo or Multishow broadcasts live/in real time. Commonly recommended VPNs include NordVPN and Surfshark due to the range of servers available and fast download/upload speeds. Both of these do charge a small monthly fee, but come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you sign up for either now and do not wish to use them beyond the broadcast, you can cancel and get your money back. Not sure how to set up and use a VPN? The setup guides (covering various operating systems/devices) are here for NordVPN and here for Surfshark. On the day of the broadcast, you will need to ensure you have connected to a Brazilian server/set your location to Brazil via your VPN. You can check that everything’s good to go in advance by connecting to a Brazilian server/setting your location to Brazil via your VPN, logging into Globoplay, and trying to watch TV Globo (or Multishow, if you’ve purchased the subscription plan). If you can watch then you’re good to go. 3. THE SHOW IS SCHEDULED TO START AT 9:45 PM (BRT) ON SATURDAY 4TH MAY 2024. Show Start Time in Brazil (BRT): 9:45 pm on Saturday 4th May 2024. Show Start Time in Your Local Timezone: Click here and input your location/timezone in the field under 'Add locations'. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ OTHER SUGGESTED METHODS OF WATCHING LIVE FROM OUTSIDE OF BRAZIL (UNTESTED): A. WITH A SLING TV SUBSCRIPTION. If you have a subscription to Sling TV it looks as though you should be able to watch via that subscription. Instructions/guidance on how exactly to do that are here. There also looks to be a free 3-day trial available for new customers. NOTE: Sling TV is geo-restricted to the US. (MORE TO BE ADDED AS THEY POP UP) ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CAN’T WATCH LIVE & WORRIED ABOUT MISSING OUT? Don’t be. You will be able to watch it afterwards, one way or another – it’s not just going to disappear into the ether. Plenty of us will be either ripping or screen recording the show as it’s broadcast and, as with everything, it will get shared around. There will also be official ways (yet to be confirmed) to watch. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Information collated from helpful posts by (and with big thanks to): @WagnerMinogue, @Anapausis, @Askeroff, @vitoralmeiida, @remixed224, @Starchild, and @DjKingBee

Full final show!!!!!:

There's a forum in which I use to download shows, mv, live albums, instrumentals etc. The people there do an amazing work and I'm sure someone will rip the concert and share it there. Not sure if I can say the name, so here goes the hidden link: [Hidden Content]

If you had someone (who was very interested in Madonna, but, hadn't listened to any of her studio albums in full yet) ask you which "studio" album of Madonna's would you recommend for them to listen to first, which album would you choose? I'd choose "Confessions On A Dancefloor". I love how it's structured like a "DJ set". You can dance to it and it's still relevant to this day. I think they'd only want MORE after listening to it.

Im gonna cheat... But I'd say The Immaculate Collection. It would have a bunch of songs that they most likely would have heard before but not have known it was her. My friend who I subject to Madonna stuff keeps finding out about songs he knew but didn't realize they were Madonna cuz she's such a chameleon. After that Id say GHV2. If you insist on a studio album.... Maybe Erotica.

"M is NOT going to Brazil I tell ya! It's not happeninnnnn! "

kind of shocking no one has said Music, it's her most versatile, there's everything in there, from dance, techno, to country, electronica, trip hop, etc.

I have a feeling that the stage is gonna be a total mess......

It depends if of the age of the new fan what gen they were

This is a Madonna Infinity EXCLUSIVE.

On the beach with Madonna: behind the scenes of the negotiations for a show in Rio Imagine the scene: the greatest pop artist in history is in the middle of the Palais Garnier, the imposing headquarters of the Paris Opera. Saw? Then, with her blue eyes fixed on the camera, she says a completely off-script phrase: “Brazil, I’m coming”. But, in November 2023, less than six months ago, there was nothing certain, not even close, for Madonna to bring her “Celebration Tour” to the country. On the contrary, it was rumored that this would be an almost impossible mission due to technical reasons. “At the time we thought: why don’t we ask her to record saying ‘Brazil, I’m coming soon’ as an extra for the commercial? If she agreed, she would express a reciprocal interest in facilitating the negotiation of a show. Well, she recorded that speech, but we still didn't have a way to use it!”, jokes Pedro Smith, head of Strategic Brand Relations at Itaú, whose centenary campaign stars Madge. It was up to the bank to pull strings to make it happen. This, of course, is running out of time. “The day after recording the commercial, we watched her show in Paris and realized that the structure would be very difficult to adapt for a large presentation, like the one we wanted. Because of this, Guy Oseary [the singer's manager] gave us a cold shower,” says Smith. Okay. There was the biggest bank in Latin America, which already had a close relationship with Madonna, and an experienced producer, used to dealing with the biggest names in showbiz. But destiny… It sometimes plays tricks. “I had already tried to bring Madonna in 2006, without success, and I had already been talking to Live Nation, responsible for the 'Celebration Tour', but Madonna had that health problem last year and the shows were postponed”, explains Luiz Oscar, or LON, for those closest to you. Okay, at the end of 2023, Madonna returned to action, recorded the commercial, sold out dates in Europe, but Luiz Oscar, who had gone on vacation at the beginning of the year, also had to deal with his own health. The producer suffered a serious accident, was hospitalized and was out of action. “I broke down completely”, he laughs, now that the scare has passed. In mid-February (that is, just over 2 months before the show date), with LON back in action, negotiations intensified. “We became very close and exchanged a lot of characters, like a task force to make this show possible, because Itaú had a contract with Madonna and Bonus Track, with Live Nation”, says Smith, who became really close to LON. “It was Saturday, Sunday, sometimes 3am, and Luiz Oscar and I were in meetings with teams from outside Brazil.” And the teams for everything related to Madonna, of course, are quite demanding. “We have to deliver a show complying with the level of production that it presents around the world, naturally adapted for a much larger space. Only when we had the resizing of this structure, sponsorships, television and technical issues approved was the contract finally signed”, explains Luiz Oscar, stressing that the leaks about the show that took over the internet in the weeks leading up to the official announcement did not interfere in the negotiations. . “We could only disclose it after everything was actually signed.” According to him, the idea, from the beginning, was that the show at Princesinha do Mar would close the “Celebration Tour”, as “a great gift for Brazilian fans”. “It was a great choice – a Saturday, we have a holiday in the middle of the week and more people can visit the city”, says Luiz Oscar. I hope Madonna enjoys it too. https://billboard.com.br/madonna-bastidores-show-brasil/

I think the structure with the two tents on the side might be the lights/sound/crew point?

The point is they were so sure this wasn't going to happen. Whether it was "secret" or not, they went out of their way to try to insist it wasn't happening. This is just one of many times they try to insist anything they don't post isn't accurate. They go out of their way to disprove anything else they aren't able to provide an exclusive for, but the moment they make a mistake they quickly back pedal. And the info you claim they did know has usually been reported by someone beforehand in most cases, but some seem to conveniently dismiss that and think DM is the site who has everything "exclusive" when it's not always true.

I could never do an 80 date tour at my age now let alone 65 the year I almost died. What a superstar!

You have to start with the first album. There really isn't another option, in my opinion lol.

@Vogueristaasked if it was a "potential fan" and mentioned "which STUDIO album?" Obviously, whomever this person would be, would be interested in exploring her catalog. Suggesting to anyone else, who has no interest in her, is just wasting your time.

Arena tour completed... wow what a ride. 80 shows 0 cancellations 1 incredible woman Her most important tour ever. Bring on the big finale party in Rio!

My friend is a swiftie and I suggested her Ray of light and Confessions. She loved both albums. She also liked Rebel Heart. It totally depends on their music interest and age etc.

THIS. The first album. Easily. The perfect introduction to Madonna - in every way. I think she has the kind of body of work that is best experienced in chronological order. Quintessentially 80s while also feeling timeless. Not to mention, it's just the perfect example of pop music so perfectly executed, right out of the gate.

It completely depends on what kind of music they are into. Pop fans? Confessions or Rebel heart Classic rock fans? Like a prayer Electronica and ambient fans? Ray of light Jazz and spoken word fans? Erotica or I'm Breathless 90's ballad fans? Bedtime stories Broadway fans? Evita R'N'B fans? Madonna Hip hop fans? Hard Candy... I guess? Taylor Swift fans? True blue or Music (The Immaculate Collection would be better) Disney fans? I'm Breathless

A week away....

Start with Madame x and go a dive to her discography in reverse

Ray of Light or Confessions

Wow! Just amazing!!!

I'm speaking in "general". Not you specifically. In general, a lot of people who don't understand her appeal, so they think the rest of the world is off their rocker in supporting her. Whatever the case, she's been around for nearly two decades and as mention she has managed to be less polarizing than most entertainers who have been equally or more successful than her. At the end of the day, she isn't hurting anyone with her music or her success.

Ok, but, what if it's someone (unrelated to tik tok)you like or don't know and they would really like to have your advise especially being you are a big fan. Which studio album would you pick? I'd like your genuine opinion. Thanks

I agree with everything. I don't think people who love her have bad taste, that she is a negative character or that her success is concerning in any way. I just don't see anything interesting myself

Oh my, but the platform they are building now is gonna be the BS video box one? I mean, if so the stage looks massive I'm so waiting for this thing, I'm so curious and excited she is gonna be the center of such an event with such a perfect show and to celebrate this point of her life and career. I hope she will mention the June health problems and got one million people giving her back all their love and support.

Well the thing is that they aren’t claiming any exclusive information this time. And they did have the exclusive of the Brazilian stop before anyone. I know that looking in hindsight is very easy to see things unfolding to where we are. But didn’t it seem suspicious to everyone that she was doing this massive Itau campaign and she wasn’t visiting the country? I think than more than one of us thought when it was announced “well obviously!!!” 🤣

That's fine, but I've heard enough of her music. It's not as bad as people are making it. I like some of her songs. It's not a huge deal, but at the same time, a lot of people think the same of Madonna and many other artists I enjoy just the same. I think some people forget that we live in a world where many people think differently from others. Just because I can't understand someone favoring someone I don't enjoy doesn't mean these people are unhinged, etc. I also do not feel the need to question why people like Taylor because again, we all have different tastes. I also don't feel that just because someone likes someone I don't prefer has bad taste. At the end of the day, I don't see Taylor as someone who is harming our society. I feel she's a decent person who has just as many demons and fallacies as the rest of us. She simply has a talent in exploiting her issues, while many of us rather keep it to our selves. Still, I'm not bothered by it, because at the end of the day Taylor Swift being a huge successful entertainer is the last thing I'm concerned about in this complex world of far more horrible and nasty people who are out to annihilate a population of people who they don't agree with.

True Blue and Like A Prayer. If they don't like these two, not worth the try. One thing I have learn by observing this tiktok generation. They like nothing.

Who's this woman i always see on gifs, it seems so funny. Is it a reality show ? I wanna see it !

Favorite: Rolling Stone, July 1998, David LaChapelle. I remember buying this issue that summer and protecting it like it was some sort of sacred text! My GOD, that was an incredible time to be a fan. _____ Least Favorite: V Magazine, November 2021, Steven Klein. There is absolutely nothing redeemable about this shoot. NOTHING.

It was cancelled after she had to postpone and reschedule all the tour dates.

Now, you're speaking sense!!

Beautiful! Two Iconic women together! Amazing shot!!

American Life

Never seen these: Basquiat at the LAV release party

If it's one of Those TikTok people who can't stand hearing the same media for some minutes then You Can Dance! With luv(in)!

I'm curious to see the animated cover art of Bedtime Stories, and if they will place M upside down or not.

Damn. TAB it is

I can’t believe a free concert wouldn’t be streamed free globally. C’mon now! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

GLOBOPLAY "VIDEO DOWNLOADER " I'm not sure if GLOBO will leave the live stream available on GloboPlay, but if they do, it'll probably be for a limited time. If that happens, you can download the video with this amazing Chrome extension I've been using for some time. You just have to open the window of the video, start playing then click on the extension link (usually above the bookmarks tab) and download the video. Video usually comes in good 720p quality with the average of 3500 kbps. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/video-downloader-cococut/ekhbcipncbkfpkaianbjbcbmfehjflpf

I honestly wouldn't even be mad. She's mind fucked me into believing it's a top ten hit.

I’m collecting these here if anyone wants to keep them too: [Hidden Content] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
