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 😍😍😍

Yes we know. and then there are those who have to point it out every time too.

Maybe that's because she has a double visual album ready for us later this year and doesn't want to oversaturate the market #soon #unexpectedsurprise

Maybe the REAL surprise is a new album will be included with the magazine?!?

You don’t know what sarcasm is, do ya?

And thats where the drafted performances of Candy Shop, Bitch Im Loca and Borderline rock version walk in!

There's this stage sketch in Lewis James site:

Look at her godly face

Well, Ricardo is the worst ever photographer she woked in her career (Steven Klein is the second worst), but at least, she looks like a human on the cover and I really liked the cover. Hope the portfolio inside she looks like a person too and not a wax doll. I still have nightmares with V magazine photoshoot.

I adored this tour, it's been and will always be one of her best works ever (especially now that she is surely get RAIN back at her place, after the US league ) and she was able to combine the perfect mix of artsy theatre, disco explosions, punk-rock attitude, rough and acoustic singalong connection, with a setlist wich offered everything both, the general public and the hardcore fans, would ever ask, from Vogue to Bad girl. SAID THAT, I'm supersupersuper excited for the huge bang we are expecting for the 6 last shows BUT it really's got to end now imo. For her, who's comprehensibly tired and maybe even bored, deserving at least a two, three months of full fun and rest (next summer must be the best of her life guys: she went out from the hospital, where she was dieing, straight to the rehearsals room), but also for us who deserve new material and experiences as further steps, especially new music after a 5 years pause (and maybe more). So let's enjoy these amazing nights and the big worldwide streamed 4th of may event and let the Celebration tour go for good

Technically no, she doesn’t always release something for RSD but she has been very active on the RSD roster since 2016, sometimes with multiple releases and only skipping 2020 and 2021. 2023 RSD: American Life Mixshow Mix 2022 RSD Black Friday: Everybody (40th Anniversary) 2022 RSD: Who’s That Girl (Super Club Mix) 2019 RSD Black Friday: I Rise 2019 RSD: La Isla Bonita (Super Mix) 2019 RSD: True Blue (Super Club Mix) 2018 RSD Black Friday: Ray Of Light (20th Anniversary Clear Vinyl Reissue) 2018 RSD: You Can Dance (Red Vinyl Reissue) 2018 RSD: The First Album (Picture Disc Reissue) 2017 RSD: Dance Mix (Reissue) 2016 RSD: Like A Virgin & Other Big Hits! (Reissue)

I'm going to say something I know will get me banned...I cannot watch Frozen without thinking how f*cking awful that wig looks. She seriously has had the WORST wigs. Madame X i couldn't take ANY of the visuals seriously because she looked like f*cking Moira Rose!!!

I don't know what everyone expected from photographer other than.... a photograph Surprise it truly is!

Jesus

there are some other good pics on it: https://lewisjames.com/madonna-the-celebration-tour

that’s why I said not you 😉 We have some experts on the tour that have never attended though

You are such a tough judge 😉 Honestly when you are in the arena the sound is very different to the videos. Sometimes I feel so sad for people who only live the tour through videos or pictures (not you) because there’s nothing like the live experience of this amazing show.

Correction: 5 AMAZING shows to go and then 1 massive finale! Mexico is a completely different audience and atmosphere just saying… We aren’t just another 5 shows to go trough while the great finale comes, we aren’t Tulsa, The Appalachians or whatever the last moth of the tour in America was 😉

Okies last one I need some sleep night all. Them big blue eyes omg

She is all smiles again 2nd night

Well at least it still looks like a photo, when i look at Bjork's Vogue portfolio i wonder if she even posed for these.

video of Bob teaching us the Bitch I'm Madonna / Give Me All Your Luvin' choreography in prepearation for Rio

I've fixed the pic is less than 2 minutes. Lowered the wig a bit and deflated the huge cheeks on the sides of her face. Looks way better...

Awesome 🥰

Oh my god the video is really beautiful, thank you, but this take a bow thing is such a downer If it's true that she sang it for the US league, all my hopes are for Mexico City to get a comeback of the original setlist, I'm ok even with Frozen at this point

Speach and EY

I think her illness and all of the well-wishes from fans in the aftermath taught her that it's okay to be vulnerable with us. And she's at the tail-end of a MASSIVE tour! It's only natural that she'd be exhausted! But, like I said, it hasn't impacted her performance at all, in my opinion. She's still giving it her all out there, like she always has.

She wasn't in a bad mood at all. I swear some people act like she's usually Julie Andrews on stage and I'm like what?! She was just her usual playful-antagonistic, cheeky self. Our crowd was great, too, which I think she fed off of. I imagine the Mexico crowds will be EVEN BETTER, so she'll love that.

Wow! To me it makes more sense than the one posted a few pages ago.

Reissue? People still believe in album reissues?

And she’s bringing us along with her 🙌🏼

Wait... So... Does this mean she's renewing her Illuminati contract?! OMG WE WON

"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.

I mean, HOPEFULLY we get a cohesive concert on the same date. But I honestly think Vogue will be chopped to the NINES trying to showcase all of the guests she had each show. It's almost a given. I also can't wait for all of us to point out the different shows based on the blonde wig section 😂

That's the cameraman who is in the Danceteria pit! He is super nice and was talking to us a bit before the show started.

Some folk seem locked in a spiral of convincing themselves some new music is imminent then getting very upset when it's not imminent, without her or anyone around her ever announcing new music.

To think that even these expanded/remastered will ever see the light of day, the discussion will not end because the mastering won't be good enough, the versions won't be the right ones, the booklets won't be exactly the same font...just...what is already being said for the digital singles...

Yes, but again! Specifically it was falsely claimed that she "ALWAYS" releases something on RSD. That isn't the case, and you only proved that. So thank you!

It’s wild to me how different the sound is from up- close videos. I don’t know if it’s the type of device used, this is FABULOUS video. But up close videos the sound always is sooo echoey. I wasn’t super close to the stage but to those who were, was the sound kinda bad and not clear? I’m so curious.

It did seem strange to me when she was absent from the RSD list this year.

😂😂😂 They're both look like they're at the end of their ropes with this show 😂😂😂

She sure looks to be having fun here. She's a bad bitch!!

@stefo Of all three that she has done in this spot I think TAB is the prettiest one although she struggles some with it. I like all of them so I am good either way.

Thank you so much!

Yes, Truce! Thank you for the follow up DM as well!

Amazing pics! Didn’t post again not to clutter the space which is as bad as going off topic 😉 I’m so glad to hear this because knowing that Mexico is next and that she was in a bad mood was a little bit of a downer, so thank you for your review and happy that you had a wonderful time.

I can see this probably happening. At the same time, I do think some RSD releases should be left exclusively to a physical format. I'm not sure this one is necessary to be excluded from digital/streaming platforms, but releases like the American Life Mix Show should remain exclusive to it's original physical release.

Definitely. Seeing as we're not getting anything for RSD it would be nice for them to upload the 'Who's That Girl/Causing A Commotion' 12" from the other year haha. Maybe like this: Who's That Girl Who's That Girl [Extended Version] Who's That Girl [Dub Version] Causing A Commotion [Single Mix] Causing A Commotion [Silver Screen Mix] Causing A Commotion [Movie House Mix] Causing A Commotion [Dub Version]
