I was going to post this just now [Hidden Content]

Did you get your package @pop1979? I haven't... One more horrible news from M Underground: Fans that have flown into the U.S. from abroad have been informed that they won’t be getting the Madame X VIP gift (book) that was originally in their packages. The VIP gifts will only be shipped to residents in the U.S. and Canada. At this time of writing it is unclear what and if there will be a VIP gift for the European shows. I REALLY HOPE IT'S NOT TRUE!!!!!! SHAME ON VIP NATION!!

No, I'm not a magazine collector honestly. I'll check in the next few days for you anyway @Enrico

Don't know if protests made them change their mind, but the books will be shipped: Many fans have been informed by Live Nation and/or Ticketmaster that due to location they weren’t getting their Madame X Tour VIP gift reason being not having the license to sell those items outside the U.S. This information is incorrect! Everyone who purchased a VIP package has the full right to receive their VIP gift regardless of location. Please if you’re having issues with this e-mail us your full details (name, address, e-mail conversation with either Live Nation or Ticketmaster) to madonnaunderground@gmail.com so we can forward your details. https://madonnaunderground.com/madame-x-tour-vip-gift-will-be-send-out-to-people-outside-the-u-s-and-canada-but-we-need-your-details/

So do you think it will be out next week? I don't understand if it is not distributed in smaller towns or it's just delayed... UPDATE: A person selling it through Ebay told me it will be out by first week of December!

Well that's me screwed for the 26th January show and I've lost £200 for the hotel I had booked as it's none refundable and cant go for 16th Feb and havent got the money to book another hotel ???

I finally got my tourbook and my shotglass!!! The packaging was perfect and both items arrived in perfect condition, lots of cardboard and bubblewrap!!. The shotglass is so cute!! And the book is thick, hard and heavy. Extremely beautiful.

I understand where you're coming from @truerebel, however: I live in Brazil where the concert ticket price alone would be around $2,000 BRL + travel costs, hotel, food would result in anything aroung $8-10,000 BRL, in a country where the monthly minimal wage is $1,000. I got really upset when the news broke that she would ban phones from the Madame X, because yet again I felt left out, I'm sure other South American members of Infinity felt the same, we did not have the opportunity to go see RHT live and the majority of other tours, so please, don't just say "JUST GO SEE LIVE IN PERSON" because that's not possible for most people. I don't get why she doesn't come here, São Paulo has an amazing theater, plus, she has a song in f****** portuguese! I say all that with all the love, ok? Just sharing another point of view.

Update 10.11.2019 Weekly chart TOP 10 1.Material Girl (+1,023,584) 2.Like A Prayer (+898,046) 3.Like A Virgin (+744,894) 4.La Isla Bonita (+689,377) 5.Hung Up (+667,516) 6.Vogue (+563,123) 7.4 Minutes (+540,183) 8.Holiday (+470,321) 9.Medellín (+434,216) 10.Faz Gostoso (+380,555)

After months of listening, I feel there really isn't any other standout track in the album that can pack such a punch like God Control for lead single. Imagine the debut performance of the lead single in Eurovision with Dark Ballet/God Control. God Control music video is the start of Madame X wanting a revolution, so she travels the world to change things and search for love, and it would have been nice to end the project with sweet Medellin where she found love and got married. At this point what is there to lose anymore in her career? She would have gotten so much more conversation and publicity with God Control and the project would have started with a bang like her 90s output. If I had to redo MX singles, it would be God Control > Crave > Faz Gostoso > I Rise > Medellin. God Control is just that BITCH who is on par with the other lead singles in her career, not quiet Medellin sis. What do you think?

They keep on repeating the same mistake over & over again... they should prepare everything before the beginning of the tour!!! Even the tour program... ALOT missed it in NY! & now the VIP book! This is actually the only gift for those who bought the packages! It should be given at the time of the concert.

Yes I,d rather give that room to 20 homeless rough sleepers.....see how the hotel management like that one. ( Or just advertise a free party on social media )

As an unapologetic bitch for 4 min I’m so happy to see it consistently in the top 10

You won't believe it ! Yesterday nighti went into my car to go work, i turned on the radio and "Holiday" was playing. When the song was finished changed the station and "Everybody" was playing !!! I couldn't believe it !!!

I was only joking! We are talking about IDSIF remixes, not God Control!

Casey only wrote the lyrics for the remix. Mostly the order the words are in.

Couldn’t agree more. We keep hearing about an “intimate theater show”, but instead we got a downsized low budget version of Eurovision, NYC Pride and BMAs, when she could’ve made it much more theatrical with more emphasis on singing raw vocals, and a more theater-like stage production, like an act rather than a dance show, it would’ve been a lot better and much less straining on her.

no

Does any of the Italians know if L'Officiel Italia is really out in the newstands? @stefo @Angelo @Rupert76 I can't find it anywhere!!

I am BEYOND over this tour, not Madonna herself but the ENTIRE management of the tour. How can they be so irresponsible in logistic planning to put these shows on sale months in advance; just to re-arrange and postpone dates in city after city??? Esther and Stella would've done a better job. This whole thing has turned off some of her most loyal fans (including myself), due to poor MANAGEMENT and I'm sorry, this start from HER MANAGER MR. GUY OSEARY who is only after the last dollar he could get out of her name. This era has turned out to be such a bitter one for many of us, such a shame!

my show... after plan the trip... no words.... i'm very tired of her.... no respect for fans... don't take shit about the LN... and stop to complain her... i'm so sick and tired... it's enought..

Of course not. If she needs surgery and a serious recovery period, she'll know that NOW. Cancel (or postpone) the rest of the tour NOW. Don't wait until people fly in for Philly or Miami.

Another awesome photo by the photographer from the city shoot....

I think it's just an unfortunate cascade of events for this tour. She injured her knee during rehearsals. Without commitments of an impending tour she probably would have had surgery to fix it (if needed) or would have been able to have the time needed to allow it to heal. But she was already at the point of no return, either cancel half the tour before it started to give the time needed, or push on and see how it goes. She chose to push on, which is credit to her stamina and determination. Unfortunately, it hasn't healed or got any better. A separate issue is the logistics, this seems to be something new for LN and Madonna and I guess they underestimated the time needed to set up at each new venue. Combine both and it's a perfect storm. I really hope she gets the rest she needs. This isn't an age related injury, it's a sports related injury, but it needs time to heal properly.

I rise I riiiseee

I really don’t think I can imagine her pulling off damage control and damage limitation that will Rectify the ill feeling among the affected fans and also switch the somewhat negative perception of the general public. This tour so far has been a strange one it’s been a critical success and an absolute PR disaster. Personally I am glad I have held off buying tickets because even though there are moments in the show I would love to see you live judging solely of bootlegs I really do think the risk isn’t worth the pay off

Below are the current availabilities for Paris

It looks like they are trying to give her enough rest time between shows rather than cancelling them

I get what you're saying but the actual arrangement of dates so close together, along with the logistics of moving to each city to me can only be blamed on BAD MANAGEMENT. And I'm do blame Madonna for a lot of things at times but for this, sorry, Guy needs to be sacked. He has consistently in my (and many other fans) opinion been a bad manager for Madonna. Whether it's been out of loyalty or the fact he's secured multi-million deals for her, I don't know why she keeps him around. I can't see Madonna ever being the type of performer to be able to sit still and do a show. Even with Tears of a clown, she had to get up to move at certain points. I just don't think it's in her DNA, or if she went down this route then it would need to be a complete revamp of a show like many spoke about an anti tour - tour. And I agree she LOVED the relaxed vibe of Rebel Heart Tour, it was awesome and plain to see. Whether or not she would go down this route of with Madame X tour and singing random songs/requests.... something in my gut tells me this won't be this type of show she does. Maybe I'll be proved wrong (probably) but it seems to me it's going to be a theatre show that won't change much (if any). Finally, I can understand why this has disrupted your loyalty but I think the saving grace Madonna has in her touring career is for the most part she really does very rarely cancel concerts. Her record must be pretty high compared to a variety of other artists, but there is something I believe fundamentally wrong behind the scenes that isn't just related to her knee injury.

This really sucks. She should be aware that we, as fans, are living with fear every day until our show(s) arrives, fear of them being cancelled or changed or whatever the fuck her team feels to do. It's ridiculous. One thing is cancelling because she's injured, which i TOTALLY understand and wish her the best of the best and a speedy recovery, and another thing is cancelling or changing all 1st shows in every city, because of production elements. Her team should have known better. The preparations for this tour were too rushed and we r getting the consecuences of that now. They should have tested every venue, every theatre, before announcing dates to see the time they were gonna need to fit every production element into each and every stage, so things like these won't happen. I'm really sorry for all of u guys affected by this. I can only hope my Lisbon show is not changed or cancelled. We'll see...

Why does it have to be you posing as her personal SJW?! She disappointed thousands of her loyal fans with this tour! Let’s have some real talk about it: there are no 'highly specialized production elements' that led to the rescheduling. There are moving staircases and projections, that’s all. Someone in her team simply miscalculated the time it would take to move the show from one city to the next! Addressing her knee injury: I know this might sound a little outlandish to ask but maybe she could have changed the show focusing more on the singing (Do I sound crazy? Would be interesting though - her being more relaxed as she's getting older with her amazing tone in the voice that is getting raspier with age) I believe the reason M wanted to do a smaller-venue tour with residencies in selected cities was because the fans loved her request section at the Rebel Heart Tour so much. She was spontaneous about her song selection, didn't care when she would forget a lyric and wouldn't focus too much on being the greatest dancer in the world. That I think was essentially what she wanted the Madame X Tour to be. Now that we've had such major setbacks as fans I can only understand everyone that is furious about the cancelled shows! I can not stress often enough that I am too! My boyfriend has planned to surprise me for my birthday and got the tickets months ahead. Luckily he got insurance for the hotel room right from the get-go, so, not all money is lost. But that really disrupted my loyalty towards Madonna. She's got so many fans paying top dollar to see the show, travelling half the world to get to a city she has decided to play just to get notified about M cancelling. I mean WTF?!

Well, if that's not a lie, why can't she just sing? Don't dance. Phil Collins recently did his show from a stool. Instead of disappointing fans, just sit there and sing. Fans should be happy to see her and the show. Isn't that better than outright canceling? If you want to have a true cabaret show, now's your chance.

““Unexpected““ ???? lol. Madonna, Bitch, you fucked up the birthday present my boyfriend planned months ahead for me! This didn't come as a surprise for me, I'm just pissed.

I crave it... This VIP book is really gorgeous

Let’s be reasonable! It’s not gold for gods sake!

Love it!!!! But isn't it from that "shoot" she did on the streets of NYC at night with Ricardo???:

Thank you. I've always enjoyed and look so forward to your updates if and when you can.

I see not much activity in this forum, so I thought I'd post this. Buzz Angle is a precursor to forthcoming U.S. charts- it's not an exact match or anything, but it gives an idea. Thus, MX should re0enter Billboard's Top Current Albums chart (for a 19th week) and perhaps Top Album Sales (for a 10th week). It likely will never re-enter the Billboard 200, as the sales aren't high enough to offset the relatively low amount of streaming. (It would need weekly sales in the range of 6K-7K or so.) BuzzAngle Album Sales Charts- Friday-Tuesday (in parentheses: ranking trends vs. yesterday's position) U.S. Album Sales: No. 41 (=) Los Angeles: No. 6 (+1) Miami-Fort Lauderdale: No. 7 (+1) San Francisco: No. 25 (-4) Boston (Manchester, NH): No. 19 (+3) Philadelphia: No. 25 (-1)

Im not loving this show from this - too much backing tracks yet again - I was hoping for more live sounds ?

She needs someone on her team that’s interested on taking on those projects. She needs a manager that’s interested in doing those things

No problem I love doing this

So happy for Medellin. Thanks for posting these!!!

Madonna, “the legend herself” as host Kelly Clarkson described her in the introduction, performed her new single Medellín off her upcoming album Madame X at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards. Maluma and several of her hologram doppelgängers joined her on stage!

Rain all day long. It's a pop perfection masterpiece. ??☔
