Pretender1978

Oh my god! I've seen her so many times, but this show is phenomanal!!!! It's true what others have stated before, you can watch every youtube clip around, but this show must be seen live, it's f***ing fantastic! I can't get over it
brilliant!

I am well aware that I am way past my prime and that that may very well be the main reason I enjoy a more sparse (if you can even call it that) performance, cos, hey, my eyesight ain't what it used to be.
But seriously, from the videos that I've seen this seems to be an excellent show. Especially the LAV performance made me think about a comment my boyfriend made when I showed him a video of MDNA's GB performance where the motel room didn't appear on stage, he said he loved it because it was just her, and that the performance was more impressive for it because she was still able (maybe even more so) to own the stage and grab everyone's attention.
Let's be real, judging from the videos this show is as state of the art as her last effort, but it's just not designed to blow you away visually, rather to enhance the performance. In a way I concidder it a bold move, some might even say, revolutionary to bring many of the songs back to M on stage, interacting with the crowd. In an age where everyone and everyone still uses Blond Ambition as a blue print for their show, I think it's a breath of fresh air that M takes a different direction. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good mega show, but, and I've never told anyone this, standing front row at MDNA I looked on my watch half way through! (go ahead and bann me, I deserve it) Not that it wasn't good, but it all became a bit familiar and I missed my girl.
But maybe it's nice to recall (for the past our primers) that when Madonna broke out as a mega star, she did not have any advantages (budget wise or else) over her peers, the sole reason why she rose above was because of her own spirit and personally I can't wait 'till december when I see the show live, to witness that again.
P.s. sadly there is no emoticon for sarcasm (probably there is but did I mention that I am old yet) so take none personal

I agree with you and completely disagree with others that say this show was just ok.  The show was spectacular!  Madonna started this era with the opening comments in her LFL performances saying this will be a revolution of love, and to be perfectly content with being who you are and not apologizing for being who you are.  Madonna is 57.  This is an arguably more mature show.  Definitely a happier show.  I don't care if other fans are stuck in the past, wanting Madonna to cater to them.  Its not called the Fans Rebel Heart Tour... Its Madonna's Rebel Heart Tour.  This is her.. now.  And I accept her for that.  Time and time again ever since RIT, online Madonna fans (yes online fans are a rare breed and are not the same as others that no nothing of these forums) have become significantly more critical, rude, not-easy-to-please people.  
 
I tend to stay silent more often now than I used to because **My happiness** with who Madonna is today and what she is presenting to the world today is NOT affected by these more critical fans.  Yes, some of them aren't going to like a lot... setlist, or costumes, or vibe.  Thats ok.  I don't have those issues.  So, I simply enjoy the Madonna of Now.  Its a very peaceful place to be.  I think that is what more should take away from this.
 
I can only explain this rationally as the difference of age between us that have been on the Madonna campaign since day 1 and those that were born well after her stardom.  There is a stark difference.

Sorry, my wrong, I jumped the gun, I thought it was which period you like the most, so that would be the sex period, I'm actually one of the virgins

so the verdict is 1: vogue 2: libertine 3: human nature
