I can't get enough of the twins and this filming. So cute....

Madonna Kicked Off Her Fillmore Residency With No Phones and Air Conditioning Madonna's road to bringing her Madame X residency to the Fillmore Miami Beach began with a lawsuit. Last month, Madonna fan Nate Hollander filed suit in Miami-Dade County court after the Queen of Pop pushed back the start time of her concert from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. Hollander argued that the late start time made it virtually impossible for him to re-sell his tickets, which he no longer wanted due to the change. Here's hoping Hollander was able to sell his tickets, because for the first show of her seven-night Fillmore residency, Madonna took the stage shortly after 11 p.m. and played straight through 1:30 a.m. Before the phone-free show began, fans bided their time in the Fillmore's lobby, where they danced to a mix of Madonna's hits, most of which she declined to play during the show later that night. And even in an intimate theater show packed with some of her most dedicated fans, there was one other complaint: Virtually no air conditioning could be felt in the building throughout the duration of the concert. Midway through the show, the mezzanine filled with chants of "AC! AC! AC!" "Fuck you! I'm cold," responded the singer. "Take your fucking clothes off," she continued, hinting that the hot temperature eased the physical pain that led her to cancel three tour dates in Boston less than a month ago. Fans reprised their pleas for air conditioning a couple more times throughout the night, but it's telling that no one actually left early. The adoring audience at the Miami Beach theater knew this was a rare chance to see their idol in an intimate venue. "I've wanted this opportunity to play in small theaters for a long time," said the singer shortly after opening the show with Madame X tracks "God Control" and "Dark Ballet." If fans were expecting Madonna's theater shows to bring them closer to the songs they grew up listening to, the master of surprise had other plans for them. The Madame X tour setlist is mostly comprised of tracks from her latest album, with the occasional cut from Bedtime Stories and Ray of Light sprinkled throughout. "La Isla Bonita" makes an appearance when it's interpolated into her Maluma collaboration, "Medellín." "Express Yourself" also makes it onto the setlist, but as an acapella interlude. Fan favorites "Frozen" and "Like A Prayer" elicited the most enthusiastic crowd reactions, but the audience kept an open mind for the newer tracks, which were accompanied by an elaborate stage show that recalled Broadway productions more than it did the average pop concert. During the opening number, Madonna emerged in a colonial dress flanked by dancers in police uniforms and riot gear as videos of Black Lives Matter protests were projected behind her. Among other theatrical flourishes were a string quartet dressed in nun's habits and a casket draped with an American flag carried across the stage by actors in servicemen's uniforms. During "I Don't Search I Find," Madonna embodied her femme fatale Madame X persona in an interrogation scene that recalled Michael Jackson's noir "Smooth Criminal" music video. Her kitchen sink approach wasn't only limited to the set design. Referring to herself as a freedom fighter, Madonna also addressed a flurry of political issues throughout the show, from gun reform to Black Lives Matter to Palestine, environmentalism, LGBTQ equality, and women's rights. "I made up my mind and I'm not keeping my baby," she sang during "Papa Don't Preach," altering the lyrics before pausing the music to launch into a monologue about the rollback of abortion rights in state legislatures throughout the country. Sitting next to the singer — who relished the intimate setting by walking into the crowd and interacting with fans several times — one fan illustrated the impact that decades of activist artistic messaging can foster. "There was no It Gets Better campaign when I was growing up," the fan told Madonna as she held the microphone for him. Without her pioneering encouragement of LGBTQ communities, he continued, he's not sure he would have been alive today. Even for fans who may not have hit repeat on Madonna's Lisbon-inspired Madame X and maybe found the "One, two, cha-cha-cha" of "Medellín" a little cringy, the album's supporting tour was worth the late start time and lack of air conditioning. Looking ahead to additional dates, fans who stick it out will get an intimate look at an artist who, nearly 40 years into her career, is refusing to rest on the beloved, paradigm-shifting art she made in the past, instead opting to continue challenging even her most devoted audiences. "I hope I've disturbed your peace this evening," she said near the end of the show, in reference to a James Baldwin quote that was projected onscreen at the beginning of the concert. As much as she's proven she loves to provoke her audiences, it's clear her greatest pleasure still comes from challenging herself.

It's one of the loneliest days of my life. After thirteen years of love and sacrifices to survive to several tough shots life put on our path, me and my husband just decided to part our ways. I don't remember my heart ever living such a deep grief ... I have been loved. This will take time to mend.

She always quotes her old songs and doesn’t perform them. So I wouldn’t suggest anyone get their hopes up.

C'mon 1st of all how can he not have had no idea who Madonna was? Danny accepted to do it with the condition if her daughter was permitted on the set taking pictures with Madonna. Sean Penn asked him because M had asked him but you can read link below about his interview from few years back... [Hidden Content]

both, they're like the moon and the sun!! one makes you dance dance dance and the other as Frank said is one of her best ballads ever.... Period.

Poll: Favorite song : Sorry or Jump?

Poll: Favorite song: Crazy for You or Gambler both from the movie Vision Quest (Crazy for You)?

Graduated from college today with my degree in History and Film! "It's been a long waaaaaaay."

I worry this may hurt her in the future too. I, like many, really dislike being hot. Not only is it uncomfortable, it's not healthy for people to be extremely hot. You can have heat stroke and more.

Sorry easily.

Of course, it's Wendy. The eternal hypocrite. Me personally, it is what it is. There's always the fear of people using her to get their name some clout or to climb the ladder of success. She's a grown woman and I hope he isn't with her for ulterior motives. She deserves love and someone whom won't screw her over like Ritchie did.

Sorry!

impossible to choose! Sorry bc of the mv

oh thank you guys @Nobody Knows Meand @Vogueristayou're too kind! <3

Jump

Gambler!! It's such a fun song!

Crazy For You

I have absolutely no idea who this guy is so I can not judge him. I have never really been all that enthralled with Madonna's love life. She always seems to think she has to be someone who challenges her or a it seems just a purely physical relationship. Her relationships bore me. I never bought into being with someone who challenges you. That gets tiresome really fast. Her two marriages ended with so much bitterness. Challenge you a little on ways to improve yourself but not a complete rejection of the person you are. You have to be somewhat compatable to spend that much time together. I also hate her preoccupation with a guy looking a certain way. I understand wanting someone who takes care of themselves but I'm sick of her detailed problems with looks that seem to come from a written criteria. The age difference doesn't bother me in relationships if it is a spontaneous thing. If an older person is "only" dating people in thier twenties...that doesn't make any sense and shows a lack of maturity. Sure, I like the cultural aspect of an older woman dating a younger man since we have so many immature men who date younger women. It bothers me that she seems to stay away from dating older men because if you are gonna fight ageism you yourself can not be ageist. There are plenty of attractive older men that take good care of themselves. She just doesn't date them. I would just like to see her with someone more animated and independent and not just hanging all over her like thier in high school.

That's very true, that is why I said it was just my opinion and that we don't even know if it is her new fella. As for her being surrounded by "yes" people, c'mon... how many times each day in everyone's normal job has their boss asked them their opinion or to do something you know is stupid/waste of time and they have the guts to be honest enough to say no. Not very many people I know. So that's why in my opinion people that are in Madonna's camp would rarely say "no, bad idea". In fact we've already seen evidence of it this year with Eurovision, Graham Norton interview and the interviewer who called her on the Eurovision performance and was shut down and interview terminated. I don't blame them for it, might as well go along for the ride as long as you can.

Has anyone asked Guy Oseary if they plan on filming one of the shows for DVD or streaming?

Why the fuck do yall care? She's living her life, maybe try living yours? She's free to date whoever the fucks she wants, she's a grown ass woman. Do we really HAVE to always doubt what she does or think she doesn't know better or is surrounded by assholes?

I was hoping more than anything that she was going to add Rescue me seeing as it’s one of my favourite songs but that interlude she included was awful - I want the song in full - at this point im not seeing the tour as it’s too expensive in London ( £375 !!) but I might be swayed nearer the time if she adds the song ?

Only ten??!!! It's impossible. Ok, I love to dance with Madonna, and from 1983 to 2001 I prefer remixes and radio versions. After "Music" is rare to find remixes better than the album versions. So my list would be: Burning Up (12'' Version) Open Your Heart (Remix Edit) Live To Tell (Edit) (yes, it's a slow song, but it's a masterpiece) Where's The Party (Unmixed Remix) Express Yourself (Remix Edit) Fever (Edit Two) Nothing Really Matters (Club 69 Radio Mix) Hung Up Jump Love Spent But in my humble opinion, a list with the "Madonna songs of all time" only makes sense with 25 or 30 songs. With only ten songs you can't understand her music. It's impossible

Right?! She doesn't even change the 10 minutes long monologues... All that "I want to do something different blablabla" was pure lip service as this show is just as tight, relying on screems and with the same rehearsal "jokes" with people who have money to give her, only this time is in a small place

To be fair I was expecting more setlist changes, like when she was experimenting with surprise songs at Rebel Heart and Tears of a clown. I thought that being in a theatre will mean less automatic setlist... I think she was even talking about less sync with the screens and platforms and have more freedom to choose what she wanted to sing.

I never knew that he made a reply song to Papa Don't Preach. :(

RIP

wow ive never seen this ... rip...

I agree. It's perfect and just breathtaking! @vitoralmeiida

Crazy for you.

Crazy for you. A classic

Crazy for you!! I love this song!

Gambler!!!

Gambler. It deserved so much more success.

I can't vote. They're not in the same category and both are brilliant in their respective categories. "Gambler" is a brilliant uptempo track and "Crazy for you" is as brilliant as a ballad.

Gambler.

By far Gambler, one of my fave Madonna songs.

Crazy For You. One of her greatest ballads ever. The TVT rendition makes me cry everytime... T_T

Crazy for You...and it's not even a hard choice to make.

“Crazy for You.” One of her very best songs, in my opinion.

Gambler. I love this song with passion.

Gambler
