So its just because its free and will have bigger crowd shots. Lol cool i guess?

Yeah but they werent saying that about Mexico lol and i doubt they would even if this wasnt happening. It literally is just the last show of this tour...would happen regardless if it was brazil or not so unless I'm missing something this is just like any other last date of one of her tours just free courtesy of some old bank

Just out of curiosity...what is the big deal about this particular show other than it being free, being involved with an old bank, and being on a beach. I mean she's played in Brazil before so it's not like it's in a place she's never been to before like India or South Korea...i could even understand if it was Australia but what's the deal with this one?

I forgot what interview it was but at one point she said she was going to title the album Drowned World but didnt because it sounded too negative

I think people in general don't understand what hard work and research goes into a Madonna era!

The music video for Human Nature was inspired by artist Eric Stanton's work

Remedios Varo was a female surrealist painter and one of the many inspirations behind the Bedtime Story video!

Allegedly the estate decided to sue once the remix video premiered due to one scene not in the original video where she is wearing a red dress. IMO the original video is definitely more literal in use of references.

Who could also forget the inspiration behind Hollywood's MV...photographer Guy Bourdin which led to a lawsuit by his estate

Possibly! I wonder who that photographer was for his album cover? She couldve easily seen work of the photographer and liked it or maybe Mert did. Ironically enough I feel Kyle's album Kiss Me Once had a very similar aesthetic behind glass although not fragmented.

The inspiration behind Erotica/Sex is so vast but definitely an interesting one is Warhol. The graphic design was done by Fabien Baron who worked at that time for Interview magazine which was Andy's so they shared alot of the same aesthetic and graphics. Even the font used for Erotica's album cover and used in Sex was Warholian...it was actually based off Andy's mother! The album cover also seems to be based on Liza's cover on Interview. The font for Deeper and Deeper even seems to be a nod to Andy's design for the Velvet Undergroud's album.

Most definitely!

The Italian film Mamma Roma was the inspiration behind the 2010 D&G shoot

I definitely think the mystery woman in the film Chungking Express portrayed by Brigitte Lin inspired one of the looks of Madame X

So since Madonna always had really good references...sometimes they are a bit obscure or sometimes they are very obvious. I would like this thread to be for people to post what they think or have found to be the source of her references!

Of course noboby is forcing you silly. If they were they would sell even less tickets! Much less reissues! You are a silly goose. People out there havin' to budget!

The thing is over time memories get fuzzy and stories change like in this thread mentioning there was an untrue rumor that it was lost on 9/11 which wasnt even a rumor lol a long game of telephone!

Probably figure they'd rather milk fans over an extended period of time. I sure as hell wouldn't by a ticket for several hundred dollars, buy merch like shirts jackets etc for several hundred dollars (if you're buying more than one item) plus spending money on hotels ubers food and plane tickets...I'm less inclined to think casual fans would shell all that money and to top it off buy a box set which i would assume would also be several hundred dollars and having to pack it on a plane lol and thats if they sold it at the venue. If they had just released the pre-order it would be even less of a priority since you're gonna be saving money for going to actually see her. Not everyone has that much disposable income and im sure alot see this as their vacation.

Idk...I'm really into lost media and its crazy how certain things are flat out lies and sadly how some things are in fact tossed out.

Spotify used to have vertical versions. Medellín and Dark Ballet were totally different scenes and alot the footage of her in Dark Ballet was used. For Medellín it was mostly her and Maluma dancing in the rehearsal i think

That was always just a rumor...lol who knows? Never heard of it being Blond Ambition. On a podcast I believe it was Donna who said she heard that the ToD footage got lost in some studio fire, Nikki looked at her like she was crazy lol but of course according to Madonna...Blond Ambition was never filmed

To be fair the rumor of footage being destroyed in 9/11 was of the Virgin Tour, NOT blond ambition or truth or dare.

Not me, gimme all the color graded and editing! Just want it all in HD!

Lol only if u like jack black look a likes!

Ugh lol listen, my 30th birthday i discovered a white facial which i don't mind. I think white hair can be sexy and its weird but i get compliments on my facial hair since it is salt and pepper and it makes me feel sexier but that chest hair? Absolutely not. Lol
