Look at this guys!!! Jonas Åkerlund was (I think) directing the filmation of the cameras last night, Is this a clue that the concert film is being filmed in Los Angeles and that Jonas Åkerlund will be in charge of directing The Celebration Tour concert film ala The Confessions Tour 2006?

Show was amazing tonight! She started early. Bob was first heard at 9:35pm! She was really energetic. Her speech after Don’t Tell Me was in honor of her doctor from her illness last summer who was in attendance with Guy O. Take A Bow sounded good…in fact, her voice was pretty strong throughout the show, if a little lost in the mix on those early tracks. The guest was Eric Andre. He pulled down his pants to expose his butt for the spanking. She seemed happy to be in LA…I gotta get to bed as I’m going tomorrow night and need some sleep! 😘

We at Madonna Infinity can EXCLUSIVELY confirm that Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone will either be performing in Brazil or she will not. There is no in between. You heard it here FIRST! Now go spread OUR EXCLUSIVE message. We have made it clear. You've been WARNED!

Finally saw the show last night and I have to say that it really exceeded my expectations. The youTube clips do not do it justice. It was well worth the year waiting since I bought my original tickets. The lack of a tour book was a bummer and the merch selection was a bit lackluster but the show it self was amazing. I have access to a garment printer at work, so I custom printed the top I wore for the occasion.

Madonna finally gets funding for her Faz Gostoso video! #MadameXLivesOn

I'd hardly call it "butchered" now, there's no audible glitches. It's just your expecting to hear a different transition. I quite like the video edit actually. Nobody complained about it when it was being played on MTV back in the day.

Speaking of unreleased versions I do hope this version of Dress You Up will surface digitally in July when its anniversary hits. This remix/edit is vinyl only....

It's always nice to arrive in a city and be greeted by Madonna's new tour advertising, and Las Vegas was surely full of it, at least in the surroundings of The T Mobile Arena, which I suppose belongs to the MGM group, as they had her advertising everywhere. I had will call tickets for whatever strange reason, and after picking them up, I was led to a VIP entrance (by mistake), which led me to one of Madonna's security team members, who was a sweetheart and led me to the right way to the VIP table and to the Cocktail Area. There's absolutely nothing VIP there, so I rather went and spent my time on the floor, looking at people and making friends with whoever was entering the pit. I was on the left side, facing the pit. The first act up to Like a Prayer: everything is impeccable, she's gorgeous, charming, full of energy, and the production and staging are spectacular. LTT a special mention, it's very emotional to be surrounded by the power of the massive photos; our girl surely conveys emotion in this number. Madonna has grown older, but so have her fans. She looks amazing. I'm always impressed by how small she is. I've been in the front many times in the past, including Madame X, but this time she spends more time in a location not moving around the stage, so that gives you the possibility to actually be in her presence for a longer period of time, which seems so odd and magical. She has been my champion and my inspiration for 40 years, and she's there right in front of me. Second Act Erotica to Bad Girl: OMG!!! Loved everything. It's impossible to see everything as everything is happening all around you all the time. DAD, which Madonna is so good. I didn't like this act in the videos, but live is great. Obviously, "Don't Tell Me" and "Express Yourself" are great too. "Mother and Father" is a very strong number. La Isla is when I think everyone in the arena erupts into a real singalong. Now is when things get a little messy. BS, which I love, is a WTF moment, compensated by the incredible ROL, which you need to see the front of the stage to see the dancers and the whole laser display as it's spectacular because if you follow her flying around the air its impossible to capture the whole performance, and then TAB, which was understood as a closure to the show, but this whole section is one great number in the middle of two wtf moments, which arent bad but you know what i mean. MJ interlude gets people going, and BIM too, I would love for her to have a little more interaction than Thnak you Las Vegas but she has already had two big crowd interactions previously in the night. The second night I was on the other pit, which I thought was going to be less interesting, but how mistaken I was. It was a much better perspective of the show and a much better show in general. The crowd was very much into the show the second time around. In the arena, she sounded great. I'm glad I'm so tone-deaf that I truly enjoyed everything she sang and got emotional just by hearing the oldies and being in her presence. Its an amazing show, I still have to rate in my show ranking but it surely will rate high enough. MADONNA THANK YOU FOR SAVING OUR LIVES ONE SONG AT A TIME FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS I LOVE U

I found some nice pics guys The next one is my favourite

omg! You clocked him! I saw him on the floor and I kept thinking "That guy looks like a very refreshed looking version of Ozzy Osborne"

Omg, this speech!

It is. I answered to this in another thread anyway: the vids are mostly from the debut night, completed by some other early EU shows, included Lisbon. The audio is from the debut night, that super exiting show a lot of us shared here on the forum Said that: Aukerland attended the show last night in LA and was portrayed talking to camera men

The Speech from a better angle and without watermark

Last night was my second show and it didn't disappoint. As mentioned, she went on 9:35pm which had many people scrambling. It was hotter than usual even for her shows but her voice seemed to benefit from it. The exterior of the Forum was very Madonna'd out. The crowd was very into the show. IMO she really gives a lot in LA; perhaps because of many industry friends & acquaintances watching.

Stay Jump or Music?

I cannot wait for official backdrops from this tour to be leaked especially the I Don't Search I Find interlude.

who are they?

Wendy & Lisa were there last night.

Lmao at the way she skips away after the mic stands falls on the ground 😂 she's the funniest and cutest ❤️

So is it going to be like that Olympia show during the MDNA tour? These Brazilians will get the first section of the Celebration tour and it ends?

Torn between wanting her to come, and feeling relieved if she doesn't, 'cause I would have to pretty much raspar o cu no asfalto to be able to afford to go lol

As promised, we have more information about Madonna's show in Brazil, which was planned to end the CELEBRATION TOUR in an unexpected and apotheotic way! A blue macaw told us that it will be a single show in the country and the city chosen was Rio de Janeiro! The date is MAY 4th! In fact, Madonna's team has already blocked dates at the Copacabana Palace Hotel from May 1st to May 6th and no one else can stay there during that period except her partner. This is an exclusive show linked to Madonna's campaign for Banco Itaú and, from what we know, the official announcement will be out very soon! THERE IS HEART! RELEASE SOON, ITAÚ! We'll talk about tickets and location soon... Stay tuned here!

That loser "fan" who is doing these re-issues deserves an eternity in hellfire for fucking up Borderline (and possibly I'll Remember) along with the LAZY upscaling of cover art. What a piece of garbage and it’s always the idiots that are put in charge. It reminds me of that sketch of the lady who lied on her CV d claimed she was fluent in 7 languages.

Physical Attraction song: Who’s That Girl or True Blue?

Give It 2 Me Physical Attraction or S.E.X?

You're not happy with the way I act You better turn around boy, don't look back You're getting angry, you know I can see You're just jealous 'cause you can't be me Give It 2 Me or God Control?

I don't know if he was at any of the NY shows. He lives here in LA and so I imagine that's why he was there! He was in the mixing booth...Mostly glued to his phone or talking to the doctor - I'm not a stalker, but I did keep looking his way to see what he was up to! He spent a lot of time looking back around the arena to gauge people's energy on different songs. He seemed very impressed that so many people knew the lyrics to Mother and Father! It was definitely a crowd filled with more than casual fans...People were singing a lot, and you could hear their voices throughout the show. Last night was my lower tier show to see the whole thing...It's overwhelming how the lighting and dancers create the entire mood! So much to see when you want to have your eyes fixed on M, but this was my chance to see the concept from a distance. Tonight it's the pit, baby! I'm gonna be scrutinizing her real life beauty so that it's etched in my brain to counter the Ricardo lens we have all gotten used to! I know we all say it over and over again, and I have seen Madonna live or in real life at least 40 times since I was a kid, but she is smaller than ever! She literally has the frame of a child, and without substantial heels, it really hits home. I was mesmerized by her personality last night. She is warmer than ever, and her joy is palpable. The bass is insane on this tour. I literally felt the hairs on my arms violently moving with the synth swish of Live To Tell pre-final verse. It was like a blast of wind traversed the arena. I couldn't tell if that was intentional, like some kind of immersive emotional experience! Bob came on dragging LA for how much botox he was seeing. He's right...We normalize cosmetic enhancements here in a way that makes a lot of people look positively ghoulish when seen outside of this bubble! Madonna, on the other hand, looked far less enhanced in person than I expected. Even her ass looks totally normal in the flesh! I have three more chances to see her up close. Tonight I'm going alone, which can feel weird to me as I get a little shy unless I know people, but at least I won't have to listen to my very casual fan friends' commentary throughout! I kid...They were a delight last night and they were awestruck. Their main takeaway was how emotional the concert was...that it made them realize how pivotal Madonna's influence had been in their own sexual and emotional development (they're lesbians and so early 90s M was an awakening for them)...Madonna is amazing. I wish the masses would appreciate her more! P.S. The Michael Jackson thing seems to be a hit with the general audience. They definitely love it visually as they all pull out their phones to record it. I love that she still cues the audience with Wanna Be Starting Something before the show begins and they play an instrumental of The Power of Goodbye as people exit.

Ok. In putting the pieces of the puzzle together. pieces: 1. Drowned Madonna INSISTS the last stop of TCT will be Mexico. 2. Madonna told fans she’s coming to see them eventually but didn’t say it would be to present TCT. 3. All the facts that Madonnaonline are giving out are correct including the booking of the hotel. 4. Rolling Stones gave a free concert for 1.5 million people near by where Madonna booked the hotel and was a massive success. It was paid for with funds of the Brazilian government along with private Brazilian sponsorship. 5. Madonna recently partnered with Itau for something huge in the works. 6. She has a lot of new songs she worked on since Madame X and may have a new EP or a album. 7. It’s impossible to do a 1.5 million person show with the current staging of TCT. Calculation: Drowned Madonna is correct that it won’t be the same arena staged concert of TCT. It will probably use elements of TCT but also include other songs, different staging, and new material as well, for a 1 time only event.

Less than three weeks for my show! The excitement is finally setting in!!!

both iconic or gambler

Her speeches are such a highlight of this tour. They truly come from her heart and its heartwarming to me, how personal she is with us.

Music Better remix for Nobody Knows Me: Peter Rauhofer × Above & Beyond?

Fanning her pussy lol I love this woman

It's an incredible album

Best Friend Album cover: Ray of Light or Erotica?

I tried to do at the RHT by pretending I was deaf. You have a little receiver that the headphones plug into, similar to in ear monitors. For some reason it didn't work and I was too embarrassed to go and ask again how to work it, I think they were onto me.

I just add people to my blocklist and enjoy!

Thank you for your response I had my doubts too. The quality is poor, but at the same time, it doesn't seem like it's recorded with a smartphone or as if it's taken from the IEM audio of RHT, because they are different. And so, this made me confused. But I trust your judgment. Given our discussion, I'm curious to know more about the interception of IEM signals. I've been studying how the interception of IEM (In-Ear Monitor) signals works. Considering that the UHF spectrum used by professional audio wireless systems (IEMs and wireless microphones) is broadly the same in many parts of the world, why do they take audio from IEMs only in Japan? Is there something unique about Japan's regulatory landscape that facilitates this? Or could similar interception practices be occurring unnoticed in regions like Europe and the USA?

best friend or beautiful scars

There were hints this was happening when she first teamed up with the bank. I remember mentioning it, but some claim it was ridiculous to think a bank would finance a show! My bet there is more to this, backing than just the show itself. Anyway, I hope it happens because Brazil deserves a show!!!

I’M SO READY!

There is a version that BuggedOut shared a while ago here on this forum, and it's supposedly from a digital source... It does sound quite like it, to my ears, at least

I think we all agree on the bad energy that is perceived from this person's words towards Madonna, criticizing her diva attitude in the past, when that is most common in Hollywood, and now criticizing her for continuing in music despite her age. I have read a couple of comments defending Rupaul, as if they were his defense lawyers, and trying to blame the press or us fans for being intolerant of anyone who criticizes Madonna. Nothing further from reality. Those people would do better to ask themselves why they are the only ones with a different opinion when the unanimous opinion, at least in this place, is that Rupaul is intentionally speaking badly about Madonna in order to sell more books. Even a child would realize this.

LOS ANGELES IS FOR PEOPLE WHO SLEEP

Pathetic, keep living in your world and don’t bother me with your mediocre replies. 😘

I'd be so happy with Michelle Visage to be honest. She deserves it

Something of a funny story: The only thing that drives me nuts more than somebody blasting their stereo at high volumes is people that drive with loud mufflers. I guess you can say I'm not a loud noise person. Shopping this morning I heard a car driving with a stereo blasting. More often than not it's usually hideous sounding music IMO people listen to when they do so anyway which drives me nuts. But yeah today someone had Popular blasting. Instead of me being like who is this jerk I'm like okay. lol
