So she’s still copying Madonna ?

Her latest video on instagram thanking for the support from fans and the ticket buying 💙

Those are not the only 2 options for a performer... how about show up on time AND give a good show lol. --- In my MDNA Tour show, I think she started over 2 hours late and the crowd was very audibly booing her multiple times (not me fwiw). It did ruin the experience a bit since you could see after 2 hours a lot of people had left the venue too and others were upset when she finally started. That's not enjoyable as a fan to see/hear. However, for Rebel Heart Tour, she came at a reasonable time and it was a good atmosphere overall from the beginning, which was a relief. I hope she's able to get more consistent with her start times this time around.

Aw that made my day. She seems a little in awe herself of how successful the tour sales have been. It’s rare to see her coming across this humble. LOVE to see her without grillz and the classic tooth gap. And a smile! She looks fantastic

No, not all of the people complaining are Karens. It must be nice to have enough money to pay insane surcharges to have a nice and comfy experience. However, mass transit is the only option for a lot of people. Even if everybody could afford a ride or a taxi, ever tried to call tens of thousands of them to one location at the same time?

This modern life is full of far too many complainers. All so entitled and frankly quite boring. It’s an event! It’s Madonna. Get with the program and get in the mood. Don’t plan to see a Madonna show and then complain that you weren’t rested for your conference call the next morning at the office. This is art, not bingo.

Apparently the photos that the photographer in the video took of M Is finallly being released by https://www.njgstudio.com/

Madonna looks just fantastic. I love it.

Her smile in the end

M & Kim last night

My guess would be £125 like the other M books for the standard one

What is that emoji? It looks like a moldy stick of gum having a breakdown.

🥴

Part of me thinks "if you're going to see Madonna you should know not to expect her before 10", but also she got SO MUCH shit for this, come on girl. You pleased the fans and the general public with the greatest hits tour, you cleared your Instagram, take us all the way and start on time. Don't give people any reasons to leave your show unhappy

Can you speak for yourself? For me it is the first time that I see a post that talks about this interesting and polarizing topic. There is no need to generalize. Not all of us have 2,000, 3,000 or 5,000 posts in this forum.

But concerts start late is simply not true in most cases. Most of us here go or have gone to different concerts from different artists along the years and, while a 10-15 minutes wait can be the usual thing, 1-2 hours is not what usually happens.

We won't know until the tour starts but keeping an eye out on reports from the first shows will give some indication of how it's going to go. And no, it's not a crazy question as every tour there are inevitably a bunch of casuals around me who are actually shocked at how late it ends up being and ask for and do get refunds, so for the actual general public, she does need to get her act together. The GP isn't "overlooking and accepting" her lateness so much as they probably just have no clue if they don't read Ticketmaster reviews and haven't been to her shows in years. It's good to be prepared.

Oh not not again, not another Yelp thread with everyone complaining about how bad they were treated by the singing saleswoman and they missed the tube back home and they filed a suit because the ticket said 8pm and they had to wait it's such a disgrace call the manager.

This is EPIC! So was the photo shoot done on February 9 1984 and the video on February 12 1984? I've seen both dates attached to the Borderline video now. Kind of makes sense that the photos were done prior to the actual video shoot so they could be used as props in the video.

Honey, that was 19 years ago.................

She's so sweet and sincere in her "thank you". Love seeing her smile like that at the end. I'll be curious if she keeps the copper hair for the tour or go blonde again?

SHE LOOKS SO CUTE AND AMAZING. The smile at the end was so sweet!

Bless. She's had a lot of "tough love" the last few years and she seems genuinely humbled by the reaction.

Great to see this numbers 😍

21/01 - 22,475,402 (+202,000) NEW PEAK monthly listeners WW #195 (+10) 🎊 🥂

Up to 22.475.402 monthly listeners today and back into the Top 200 at #195! The "Back That Up To The Beat" + tour announcement effect is working great for her.

This is a campaign to reclaim her crown (or to say that it is still very much on her head) so i like to believe she'll be a total pro.

You’ve got to be careful though. For my first Madame X show I arrived late thinking she’d be on at her usual 10.30pm start time. By the time I got there the show had already started and she was half way through Dark Ballet.

Glad to see you Espresso Yourself

Yes, I have already taken the plane or a train on a day of mass transit for the holidays. It's not really a M related issue, rather a thing that comes with crowds in big cities. Blame politicians and transportation companies who don't think nice and comfy experiences should be for everyone.

I am not allowed to show up 1-2 hours late to my work so I expect Madonna to act the same. Be on time and do the whole thing. That's the bare minimum. She's not doing a favor to us, she's getting paid to deliever a concert. And the tickets are not cheap. People forget but before 2012 Madonna was known to be a professional, she had never cut a song from a show before 2012. It is unfortunate that she's known to be a messy queen now. I hope she's aware that if she keep on doing this people and the media will tear this tour appart. Madonna has this thing that she think she's a queen, a super-hero that can do anything and doesn't know when to stop. I really hope she knows her limitations as a performer and cares for her reputation this time. I suspect that through MDNA Tour she just wasn't feeling good by the end and the show demanded more than she could give so she started to cut the shows short and starting late. I don't think Rebel Heart Tour was that physically tiring so I really don't have excuses for how messy some shows were and of course, in my opinion, Madame X Tour should have been canceled completely after the injury became untenable instead of the Russian roulette that it became leaving us not knowing if the show would happen or not, complete or not, in what time etc...

Not a fan of this shoot either. Doesn't feel like it offers anything new and I find the themes and costumes ridiculous. Too wax-worky if you can understand what I mean. Kind of like she's become a caricature of herself. If her face still moves, would be nice to see some actual expression. Even her eyes look vacant. It's like a mortician photographed her 🤪

Where Life Begins Vogue or La Isla Bonita?

This is mammoth!

STAGE FRIGHT..........................HAVE A LITTLE MORE UNDERSTANDING!

Yeah lateness is very unprofessional and i don't care even if we're talking about the best performer of all time, being two hours late constantly is disrespectful. Sometimes in shows with big productions like hers, some technical problems appear etc, but i doubt this is the case for her, the show starts late cause of her. I could easily believe that she's backstage getting slowly dressed, while talking and gossipiing with people while the crowd is waiting for her.

It's a valid question. She's had a bad reputation on that for years now and people have their own lives and jobs to attend, too. We'll see when she starts this tour, as @stfan97 said. The lateness was not there always in the past, it became a real problem in 2015 with the "Rebel Heart Tour", and not on every show, I remember her starting 15-30 min. late in Barcelona, that's normal and not unusual on live shows. But starting an hour or two hours late... it's not good. On the "Madame X Tour" it became wild in most places - but then again, she was badly injured during that tour. If it was all because of her health problems, even since 2015, then it shouldn't happen now but who knows. Let's just say it would be great if she can manage to start early or at least not more than 30 minutes late this time. That would be a true "celebration".

Physical Attraction Mer Girl or Where Life Begins?

I'm expecting this

Do you really think those two faces are similar? How can you say that when you look at that unnatural protruding fake cheekbone? We've only gotten used to those fake cheekbones because we've been looking at them for 15 years, but they're never the similar.

She just got back from Africa and went quiet on social media to create hype for the tour I guess I suspect she’ll be going into rehearsals now too My bet that the ass will stay. Safety and cushioning if another stage fall occurs 😂

La Isla Bonita Ray of Light or Don't Tell Me?

For MDNA, she came on just short of 10:50 or so in Detroit. Rebel Heart in Detroit was more like 9:15, and in Louisville was more like 11:15. 11:15ish both times I saw Madame X. It really just depends, but I'd ensure you're there by ticket time regardless.

I really really really wish that your guessing is right. I mean this is the last chance and last hope she can clean up her mess. But after watching the trailer video of the tour promo, my hope died down. She doesn't look any different unless the video was taken at least a month in advance.
