  2. I'd hardly call that bad press. It's simply stating that the first show was cancelled and gave the reason why.

  4. It's clear by now she KNOWS she's not performing 2 shows in 2 days in a row let alone 3 shows 3 days in a row. People are paying hotels, transportation, etc to see her only for her to cancel the day of each show. Why? Why not make the necessary cancellations right now? I mean...how hard is it to talk to her team about it right now? This isn't a simple injury. She knows what's going on with her. Madonna was known for being a professional and now suddenly i'm missing those days we didn't know if she was coming late on stage or not. Now she might show up or not? She's doing theaters at those prices. Her hardcore fanbase is the one she's screwing here. This isn't really something she's going to make people forget. If she tours again, a lot of people will fear something like this again. We have a lot of fans traveling through countries. If not this, the late night starts. If not that...the lottery programs. This tour has shown us Madonna and her "team" are barely on speaking terms with Live Nation really. I know a lot of people here will dismiss this post...but let's look at her touring career 10 years ago and now. This has nothing to do with lack of hits on her shows or ageism. It's her behavior. She's not thinking about her audience and what it takes for people to go watch her show. Now if we do get to have a ticket after all the lottery problems...she MIGHT or not show up. Even if she shows up she MIGHT or not show up on time. This was not happening years ago.

    Please, the smell, I can t with posts like this, I can understand smtng like this from the general public but a person on an M forum should quite know what this woman and who this artist is and has done in her life and carrier just counting the tour dates she has ever cancelled in 40years, IS IT HER FAULT NOT TO BE THE MERE UNREAL PROJECTION OF WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE when you approach human limits?

    She s gon be remembered as the one who kept going till the end with a tour every time an "artist" ll cancel a tour due to a supposed health problem, at least on basic artists pop forums. But that s just a personal opinion

  13. I think it depends on timing, and the venue. I know in theatres, some stages are bigger/smaller. Larger numbers definitely should be rehearsed for staging and spacing purposes.

  15. You can still buy direct from Ticketmaster so it’s a Madonna.com thing. There needs to be a massive de-brief at the end of this with her PR, webmaster and social media people who have made a complete hash of it all. No co-ordination, communication or common sense.

  19. Before the digital age made physical singles a thing of the past, it was a joy and pleasure as a Madonna fan finding singles at the CD section of a store, in second hand shops, listening to the remixes of the accompanying single, the artwork and B-Sides and excluded tracks used as bonuses. I know the fanbase has its world of collectors who are knowledgeable in the different versions, editions with different artwork and rare versions of tracks released. What are some of your favorites and some your own? Tried to create a different type of thread from "If Madonna did this, what would you change" threads? Feel free to post your own stories of your collection and pics if you'd like. For me, it was always the Express Yourself run up until Rain singles that seemed to stick out to me. Seeing the brunette Madonna on Express Yourself single art, the inclusion of Supernatural on Cherish, the different mixes to Justify My Love and others. Not to mention how despite some being video shots of previous works managed to make it look iconic. See "Vogue" using an "Express Yourself" photo. I remember buying the Erotica maxi single and getting a huge poster of Madonna from a Meisel shoot included with it.

  20. This article has such a cool interview featured with Tracy Young. Tracy talks of how she's already won a Grammy (see why below). She talks on her mentor, Madonna, too. Tracy Young, Madonna's Favorite DJ, Is Breaking the Grammy Glass Ceiling Tracy Young has made herstory as the first woman nominated in the category of Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical at the Grammy Awards. For Young — who has spent more than 25 years in the music industry, and who was recognized for her Pride radio remix of Madonna's "I Rise" — the nomination is "overwhelming." "First of all just to be recognized, I feel like I won already," she told The Advocate in a recent interview. "If I do win, that would just be a bonus." A win for Young would also be a major victory for women and LGBTQ people. For Young's entire career in the music industry, the lesbian DJ has worked in a field dominated by mostly straight men — particularly in music production and remixing. This lack of representation reflects itself in her category. Since the Grammys first launched Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical in 1998 (that year, the trophy went to Frankie Knuckles, the "Godfather of House Music"), not a single woman has received a nod — a span of over 20 years. "It's just hard for women to break through in this industry," Young said. "It's just very male-dominated and I think always been that way." Young's commitment to her craft is one of the reasons she was able to have a breakthrough. She has worked to create remixes of hits by over 100 top artists, including Lady Gaga, Cher, Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, and Madonna, with whom she has 14 collaborations. Over 50 of her tracks have reached the number 1 spot on the Billboard Club Chart Hits. "Music for me is not an option. That's the only thing I know how to do. So it has to work for me," Young said. Young points to a number of factors that need to be addressed in order to tackle this disparity at the industry level. One, those in power in the artists and repertoire department — essentially, talent scouts at music labels — need to look beyond the "usual suspects" like men in creating a remix. Mentorships are also key to breaking into this field — and one of the reasons women have been encountered hurdles to entry. Young counts one of her own mentors as key to her beating the odds. "Madonna has been a huge supporter of my music and my career," Young said. "I'm not sure if I would have been able to break in without her." "You would think in 2020 there would be more women in the forefront. It's going to take those secure men that aren't threatened by a powerful woman to hire those people," Young added. "Look at Madonna. She gets beat up all the time for being a strong woman and having a mind of her own. They don't give her an easy time, but it can be done." Madonna has been a longtime role model for Young. The pair met around 25 years ago through a mutual friend, Ingrid Casares — an out club owner and ex of Sandra Bernhard's who was memorably featured in Madonna's Sex book kissing the pop icon. At the time, Young, who got her start DJing frat parties at the University of Maryland, had been trying to find work in Washington, D.C. But all too often, she would be told by club representatives, "You're a girl. Girls don't DJ." However, Casares agreed to pass on Young's demo tape — on a cassette, in those days — to the pop icon. She did. And Madonna was impressed. "Madonna liked the girl DJ," Young said with a laugh. "Then my career just blew wide open." Young would go on to DJ the premiere party for Madonna's film The Next Best Thing and then her wedding to Guy Ritchie. The pair have been creative collaborators ever since. In fact, when it was announced Young would be receiving a Grammy nomination, Madonna texted Young. She told her she was proud of her. "She's super sweet," Young confirmed. "I know she probably doesn't want people to think she's sweet, but she's sweet." In fact, Young's remix of "I Rise" would be the only Grammy nomination featuring Madonna's name from the icon's latest album, Madame X. Although critically praised, it was snubbed by the Recording Academy — yet further evidence of bias in the music industry toward women of a certain age. Yet this bias is not contained to the straight world. Young also says members of the LGBTQ community may be unappreciative of the icon's contributions to music and the movement. "She basically opened a can of sexual freedom for the world to see," Young said. "I don't think she gets the credit for what she's done for the gay community." Of course, anyone who undercuts Madonna is ignorant of history. The Advocate ranked the "Vogue" singer as the greatest gay icon in a 2012 cover story, which chronicled her many contributions: her liberation of sexuality in pop music, her activism during the AIDS crisis when most celebrities were silent, the impact of gay visibility in her Truth or Dare tour documentary, and her ongoing fight against stigma. She won a GLAAD award for her lifelong allyship last year. It's fitting, then, that "I Rise," which Young remixed, is Madonna's love letter to LGBTQ people. “I wrote ‘I Rise’ as a way of giving a voice to all marginalized people who feel they don’t have the opportunity to speak their mind," Madonna said about its release on the eve of WorldPride last year. "This year is the 50th anniversary of Pride and I hope this song encourages all individuals to be who they are, to speak their minds and to love themselves.” For Young, the ability to collaborate with such a legend and be part of her history leaves the DJ momentarily speechless. "I couldn't be happier that it's a Madonna song that I was nominated for and to be part of her legacy. I have no words for that," she said. That her remix of "I Rise" has become a staple of Pride's playlist is also important to Young, who has spent her career spinning music at Pride celebrations around the world. "Music is Pride," Young declared, citing anthems like "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" by Sylvester, "I'm Coming Out" by Diana Ross, "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor, and Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" as integral to festivities. She pointed to C&C Music Factory's "Pride (A Deeper Love)" as a personal favorite. "The gay community has always come together on the dance floor in celebration of music," Young said. "When we have those songs and they come on, it's like we're free." However, Young, who has had a front-row seat to Pride, from the AIDS crisis to a post-marriage equality world, has seen a disappointing change in the annual event that began with an uprising at the Stonewall Inn. "In recent years, [Pride] is more of a party and I think that we've lost sight of some of the messages that we were fighting for in the earlier days," Young said. "We've made progress, but sometimes I think the message is lost, at least from my vantage point." "I don't think people know the history anymore," she added. "We do drag, but people don't know why they do drag or where it came from. That part makes me a little sad." Happily, Young is herself now officially part of LGBTQ history. The city of Miami Beach declared December 11 to be Tracy Young Day, in celebration of the artist's contributions to the music scene of South Florida, where she presided over much of the nightlife. "I'm gonna cry. It's just amazing," Young said of the proclamation. "All the hard work is finally paying off and it's been 30 years." However, Young also recognized that success takes a village, and she expressed thanks to those who supported her throughout the years to help her rise. "You don't get to become a Grammy nominee overnight. It takes a lot of work and a lot of perseverance, especially as a woman," Young said. "And I feel like if I could think every person who has been on this journey with me to get to this point, trust me, I would." "I'm just a girl from Virginia with a love for music. And to have made history and to be Grammy nominee for a Madonna song [tells the world that] if you have a dream and you go for it, you can do it." Listen to the Tracy Young Pride remix of Madonna's "I Rise" below.

  21. Worst tags now we know who is absolute shit at running, timing and managing the Instagram with Ricardo and now the Tour Manager Jeremy. Bet he can't wait to have this on his job history. Man must be near a nervous breakdown. Whereas Ricardo - sorry but you need to go back to PR school. When a world renowned artist has to cancel numerous shows, don't then post videos/pictures about how much she enjoyed previous shows two minutes later or out at another event. Anyone would think Guy Ritchie hired him for Madonna.

  27. We sound like broken records but I just wish they’d cancel various shows now and let everyone know which ones. Like every third show or something, however they wanna do it. Just so we can know and make other arrangements. It’s waiting with baited breath the whole time otherwise.

  28. Just an assumption. But if Warner could have every pre-2005 single on Spotify and iTunes/Apple Music, don't you think they would?

  29. It's a contractual thing. She renegociated her contract with Warner after the "American Life" album, the last one released under Maverick Records. iTunes and digital sales started around that time, 2003-2004. In 2005 she agreed to have her back catalogue of albums (not singles) on iTunes (the interview with Steve Jobs to promote it, etc.). When she signed her new contract, Warner made sure they had the rights to release every single digitally too starting with "Hung Up". I guess that's not the case with all the pre-Confessions singles, so they'd have to sign a new contract to make them available on digital. AND not only her, we don't know what kind of contracts were signed with each remixer so maybe it's all a big legal mess and it's not worth it for Warner. Warner and Madonna always had these little things going on, anyway, remember when they rushed to release the Yellow CD singles in 1995 just before her original contract expired. Anyway, it'd be great to have all of her singles and remixes on digital platforms, it's about time!

  30. Yeah I’m not sure... I performed in a travelling show of Beauty and the Beast. And in every new venue we would just do Be Our Guest as a tech rehearsal because it was the largest number. Don’t know about before every show as I’m sure it’s different for M. It would be interesting to know what they do.

  34. Yes, but I'm including Cher, along with Madonna, as one of the few who are already legends. One of the very few who is still performing, She doesn't have to slay for two more decades to achieve that. Most of the mpgs do, however, to have a chance to be legendary. Fan bases like to call their faves legends, even though most will not go down in history as legends. I do wish all artists success and happiness, though, because they each deserve that for bringing joy and inspiration to so many people.

  40. It may not be a quote (an actual interview piece) but where she mentions her relationships with Melanie and how she's often gone to her place to escape the madness of the world and fame she deals with it and feels like a safe space. Think it was a 95/96 interview with the "You'll See" hairdo.

  48. The existing recorded mediums are as follows: VT- HD/4k possible, film (? 16 or 35mm) WTG - SD 4:3 BAT - SD 4:3 and HD:4K (35mm) GS - SD 4:3 DWT - SD 4:3 (unreleased Barcelona show presumably also same) RIT - both HD/4K 35mm film and SD 4:3 CT - HD Film 35mm S&S - HD Film 35mm MDNA - Digital HD Rebel Heart - Digital HD So a 4K is possible yet unlikely for VT, BAT, RIT, CT and S&S. Presumably also MDNA and RHT As I find it hard to believe they show digital as 1080i/p.
