    I was at the filming of The Virgin Tour in Detroit and the DWT. Of course nobody knew we'd be filmed when we went there. The doors had notices that cameras would be filming. 
    On June 1st, 1990 (the 2nd Michigan BAT show) we sang Happy Birthday to her Dad after Holiday.

    That's the one on the 7", and I think it's better than the Movie House Mix Edit.

    I saw nothing wrong on his comment about that.
    I wish Madonna had never worked with britney, prince, justin, minaj (you have no idea how much I dispise that thing), not to mention all the recent trash she has done with Frozen and Hung Up.

    jtrover got a reaction from Kae-Leah Williamson in Madonna & Tokischa - Hung Up Remix Music Video   
    I haven't read through this thread, but I have just watched the video. 
    Definitely not for me, although everyone's tastes vary (and that is OK). 
    What is great to one person is not always to another. This is obvious, but sometimes it's worth stating again. There is absolutely nothing wrong with liking it or disliking it. 
    Some art compels people, and sometimes it does not. Opinions aren't necessarily facts. 
    Besides, Madonna's catalogue is so vast, anyone can choose an era or album(s) that speak more to them. That's one of the great things about Madonna's career. 
    Now for me personally, I don't care for the remix at all (not do I like the Material Gworrll or Frozen new remixes). I don't particularly enjoy that style of music. I did not care for the Madame X album whatsoever. And that is OK!
    The video for this Hung Up remix I just simply did not click with (but that doesn't mean it wouldn't with others). I understand it has an incredibly sexual overtone and some drug references. I know she has used some of these concepts in previous works (especially the Erotica era), but to me (personally), this feels vastly different. Back then, it felt there was a very didn't message behind what she was doing. Breaking barriers and boundaries that needed to be broke. 
    This video to me felt like a current, overly sexual female artist video without any point, message or meaning. I kept looking but couldn't find it. Salacious if you will for whatever reason I cannot seem to find. If the reason is to show that women of a certain age can be current and sexual, this is something that I've already known. I find this is a topic that she has a tendency to keep beating us over the head with. I can see how it would irritate her too, reading all the ageist press. It would bother me too. But this just seemed phony to see and completely unauthentic. I know she doesn't always portray her own personal way of life in her art, but can often describe others and other points of view and lives, but I simply felt like I was watching someone else, not Madonna (if that makes any sense)? 
    Perhaps it's because as I was growing up (I'm 44), she literally taught me how to open my mind and not think in a limited way. It definitely worked. Her controversies often seemed warranted, intentional with positive change. I think perhaps whatever message she is trying to convey in the video, I already feel (and have for such a long time). Therefore, this video's message was basically just beating a dead horse to me. It was "too much with no useful intent" for my mind. I don't have any "hang ups" about people's sexuality of any age. Because of her honestly, I grew up without that.  I did think she looked fabulous however. 
    I would just like her to press on other things she might be passionate about rather the ageist, female sexuality piece. I get why she does it, it's just that it doesn't speak to me personally because I already agree with her, and have for a very long time. To my subconscious, it feels tired. But once again, that's me. Madonna has to do what she feels is important. Real artists do what speaks to them, not necessarily what some of their fans may want.
    My musical sense hasn't really evolved as Madonna's has - that's on me. naturally, I live a drastically different life, but that doesn't mean she cannot feel to express herself any which way that she wants. I say, if she feels it, go for it. Just because I can't identify with her and her art sometimes doesn't negate any potential quality she and others may feel about it. 
    Just look how many pages are devoted to this video on this forum of actual Madonna fans. She's provoking and encouraging discussions and she's always been about that. To each their own. I think when you are a fan of an artist and you can truly say when something clicks with you or not while at the same time understanding that entertainment and other people's perceptions and experiences with it are valid and ok to be different from your own, you have a realistic and mature sense of fandom.
    There is no right or wrong opinion on this. Enjoy it or don't - either which way, it's completely valid and ok.

    Papa Don't Preach was at some point rehearsed in full (well, not completely in full, but not just a string arrangement) but having 4 "complete" True Blue songs on the tour was not gonna cut it IMO. 
    I might compile a list of what songs and elements didn't make the tour if anyone has any interest in it, I don't see the problem.
    And thank you for your words, it's a fun time to be a Madonna fan!

    Friends, I really want to know if this piece of an audio is really worth downloading. My hearing sense isn't perfect. I don't have a studio with a great equipment, so I can't hear this and that.
    I wanted to try the AI on another level (live recording). It may sound ok-ish on this recording from Detroit. There weren't much effects applied to the vocals (besides the delay/echo/reverb) compared to the recent "live" recordings.
    I also tried to isolate Madonna's vocals from the "Girlie Show" tour (especially "EY"/DAD"), but there is so much reverb and other things.... It doesn't sound good. I remember there was a version of the concert from Australia with just vocals, bass and drums. But it turned out to be the DVD version with some channels muted, right?
    I love you all. Take care!

    I agree, unless it's a brand new video of an old song like JML from MDNA or Bedtime Story from RIT. I miss the days when the last song from each segment had an extended outro leading into the next section.

    jtrover got a reaction from into the erotico in M wearing her Bob-Lo t shirt in new pic !!!   
    I used to love Boblo. I had a summer pass from 89 till 92. The summer of 93 I was 15 and applied to work there like my dad and sister did as a teens. I wasn't hired as since it was the last summer being opened, they had a limited amount of staff was my understanding. 
    I actually remember my neighbour friend and I in Amherstburg, Ontario Canada where I lived at the Boblo dock to catch the boat to go to the park on August 5, 1990. I was excited because my parents' friend who lived in Michigan was recording the BAT that night for me on HBO, and I was beyond excited as a 12 year old Madonna fan, still thrilled from seeing her live in June across the river. 
    I always got a kick out of that Boblo shirt she wore. I wish I had one, lol. Perhaps not a crop top though... Glad to see it back in whichever capacity.

    Just to reiterate, the reason I posted the Like A Virgin MTV performance picture is to dispel this conspiracy theory (that is carelessly being thrown around ) that Madonna is displaying weird behaviors post COVID. My point was she’s always been weird ( I mean that in a loving way) . That is her personality. She’s always been kind of goofy . And I have always loved that about her. So, let’s not do this pre/post COVID personality change analysis, cause she’s always been the same. And such speculations could have unintended negative implications as I have explained in my earlier post.
