Is there a 4K version? I'm sure the cameras were 4K, but I only see 1080p videos. Maybe it was broadcasted only in 1080p and we'll get 4K version sooner or later in streaming platforms

Which one is the best quality-wise?

I want it in 4K to enjoy it on my Oled tv 🥺🥺🥺 All I can find is 1080p but bad 1080p

She looks AMAZING without the wig. I'm sure she's gonna wear it, but if I'm wrong I'll be so happy. She looks so young and fresh, I think Hung Up would really benefit from this hairstyle. During ROL and Rain I think the wig looks good, though

I don't know, the show is about her life, like her story. I don't think it's gonna be a different show. But I understand she make changes. She could have changed Mother And Father by replacing with Oh Father... But that would have been a dream ahah Anyway, we'll see!

I'll say it's too tight. Her boobs are pressed too much. I prefer the older one

It would be sad. I think it's an important moment of her narrative Anyway, don't know about the new corset. I'll wait for the official broadcast to judge, because she'll also have the wig and it will look different

Of course she will. But I agree with @chaosmen1984mk The wig makes her look worse, older and less natural at the same time.

True. Anyway, there's another woman wearing her costumes. I saw the pics. And it's not the first time. Even in 2012 before the opening night there were videos of one of her dancers playing Gang Bang with Madonna's costume and choreography.

Love your humor 😆 I think the flying box is not fundamental at all. I mean, it's cool, especially during Live to Tell. But she can make a great show without it 😆

So Anitta will be there too and maybe sing a snippet?

Same, Mirwais sound was fresh in both Music and AL, we can't say the same for Orbit in Music. And I think Mirwais did a pretty good job in Madame X too! Shep Pettibone wasn't just a regular musician, he was a DJ/producer with awesome musical taste and solid music knowledge. Creating good house pop music involves more than just technical skills, it requires a good sense for sound design, the ability to curate the perfect samples, and a knack for structuring a track effectively. While Pettibone surely did not have the technical virtuosity of Jacob Collier — who, despite his skill, can sometimes verge on tedious— he distinguished himself through his discerning taste, adequate expertise, and intuitive grasp of musical aesthetics. Madonna might not be the best musician, but she's always had great taste and knew how to pick the right musicians to collaborate with. Plus, she comes up with amazing ideas when she's inspired by the right people.

Totally agree. She could just sing the chorus, maybe. And I guess she would just sing "ele faz tao gostoso" because she doesn't remember anything else 😆 BS is confirmed, she rehearsed it

Sure, Orbit had no really fresh ideas. I'm a Sinner feels like an outtake from Ray Of Light. And the other productions, though they have nice ideas, are confused and lack clarity. Falling Free is the besy song, written with Joe Henry, indeed. Orbit's contributions on Music were not up to what he achieved in Ray Of Light, he lost his magic after ROL. Indeed, Amazing and Runaway Lover are the weakest tracks on that album. Certainly, MDNA was not just an Orbit project. He worked with low-level artistic DJs like Martin Solveig and Indiigo. Benny Benassi was slightly better but still not a top-tier producer, focusing on very mainstream and uninspired dance music, perhaps delivering his best ever with Madonna. As a result, MDNA turned out to be a mediocre album. Mirwais in Madame X wasn't at his previous heights, but he managed to inject some fresh ideas like God Control, I Don't Search I Find, Killers, or Extreme Occident. These songs are still superior to those Orbit produced on MDNA. The point is that revisiting collaborations with old musicians with whom you've previously succeeded doesn't always work, but I understand why she might occasionally look back. She's somewhat detached from the world of real musicians as she said many times, and if she collaborates with someone new, they tend to be mainstream DJs like Solveig, or at most Diplo and Avicii... And she doesn't like working with them. This doesn't compare to the musical talent of her earlier producers.

I do agree. But that wig needs her to pay homage to her old looks

Wow. I'm laughing so much for her mask to cover her face 😆 She's crazy af 😆♥️ I would have laughed more if she wore a funny mask like this one:

There will still be plenty of ways to watch it live. However, the best quality is likely to come from the TV broadcast recordings, as it will be in 4K. Streaming quality will probably be limited to 1080p

They’re about the same age as Madonna, but getting older doesn’t mean you have to lose touch. As for friendship, over the years it often happens that you lose contact with dear friends, especially when you lead a very dynamic life. I'm 30 and I notice this in my life... Imagine what it's like for someone like Madonna! 😆 Madonna and Leonard both moved on, with Madonna still hitting it big (or even bigger) with other artists. But I think she’s had a harder time finding really groundbreaking musicians since Hard Candy. MDNA was a mess, even though she brought Orbit back. Rebel Heart is fun and all, but it just doesn’t hit the same level as her older stuff. I guess that’s why she brought Mirwais back for Madame X—she knows her previous producers got that special something. These days, pop music feels a bit stuck, not really pushing boundaries or mixing in cool, offbeat stuff from other scenes, which probably has a lot of fans wishing for a comeback from great musicians like Patrick Leonard. There’s tons of talent out there, but it’s rare to find folks in pop who really flip the script anymore. And nowadays she just looks for names in the pop mainstream scene. Even with her teaming up with big names like The Weeknd—who's definitely skilled but not the type to experiment much—you notice it’s not quite like when she worked with really inventive guys like Talvin Singh, Dallas Austin, Andre Betts, Richard Page, Guy Sigsworth, Patrick Leonard, Shep Pettibone, Babyface, Mirwais, Prince, William Orbit, or Nellee Hooper. Back then, her collabs weren’t just about big names, they were real artists and musicians pushing the limits.

They said she doesn't do public rehearsals anymore because she doesn't want to be photographed make-up free. Now it's confirmed ahah

Shep Pettibone was a really good producer. I'm sad he retired from music... Patrick Leonard is still an active musician, but I think he and Madonna don't talk each other anymore. Life often divides paths, even if we're good friends

I think it really depends on who I'm talking to. If you're young and into super mainstream pop, I'd totally suggest checking out Rebel Heart. It's like, the ultimate pop album packed with potential hits. If you love both house and pop but lean towards more intricate, layered sounds, then Confessions On A Dancefloor would be your jam. If you don't like sad music and you think music is just something that must make you happy, then I'd still recommend COADF. Big on electronic? Into trip-hop, loving Portishead or Massive Attack vibes? Do you love experimental songs with electronic vibes and both happy and sad moments? Then you'd probably love Ray Of Light or Music. If rock, jazz, or R&B are more your scene and you also like good experimental productions, you definitely can't go wrong with Bedtime Stories or Erotica. Into pop punk? Then The First Album is a no-brainer. And if you're all about that polished '80s pop... well, you're probably already know classics like True Blue or Like A Prayer.

The London hairstyle was the best. Nearly straight and not too voluminous, but wavy (I'm not knowledgeable about hairstyles and might be using technically incorrect terms). I don't remember when, but after a few show, they started giving her too much volume and instead of being just wavy with small curves, her hair began to form prominent curls. And also, at some point, huge regrowth. In some shows, the hair came back a bit less puffy, but the trend was to make it very voluminous. She doesn't have a slim face, so in my opinion, she looked much better in London with her hair wavy but straighter. Berlin hairstyle was good too, though.

We all need a therapist! I went to therapy for a few years ☺️ Anyway no resentment on my part... end I will avoid commenting, at least in this thread, on her poorly done vocal performances. I love Rosie, she would be a great guest!

You haven't hurt or made me mad, so don't act like I am, it just appears awkward 😆 The idea that I might be pretending to be someone else is pretty far-fetched. If I were around as much as you, constantly active, maybe then there'd be some basis for that kind of guess. But my visits here are few and far between. Every time I've shared a critique, you've pushed back. And now, it looks like we're diving into conspiracy territory. Sure, you can spin those tales, chat about them with your therapist or buddies here, but if you're going to post them, don't expect me to stay silent. I'll answer, but I won't get mad, I was actually smiling a lot while typing. Honestly, these theories don't bother me much, they're just awkward and a bit embarrassing. I'm hoping we can get past all this drama and get back to why we're all here in the first place: our shared love for the music and the artist that brought us together. I won't write another single message about this stuff. Melania Trump? 😆😆😆😆

It won't happen. I think eventually it will be the same exact show with minor differences.
