So we're having the real audio version and the autotuned one! I'm so happy it will be broadcasted live. We won't even have to wait for the DVD release

I agree! But I think she's not changing the end of the show, so Music might be a replacement for DCFMA

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C53v1v0uLnQ/?igsh=MWc4ZTZqdmliZXpoeg== Apparently she's not changing the ending... She thinks her ending may be powerful by making people doing her hand moves... I don't know, I think it would be not a good ending for such a big crowd

She was just joking. The media is really bad, they make money on articles to make people hate someone. A Brazilian friend of mine told me that this is all over the Brazilian media and that she is receiving incredible waves of hate: they are calling her stupid, rude... In reality, it's just her way of joking, simply not everyone understands it. I think it will have a lesser impact on her show. Maybe around 10% fewer people will attend, that's all.

After seeing this show live four times and attending various other concerts by different artists where I noticed just few mistakes, yet hearing several imperfections when watching videos later, I've realized why imperfections are much less noticeable live. Yeah, if you really pay attention you might spot them all, but you have to be super analytical, and that only happens if you're not caught up in the energy of the show. When I was there at the CT I noticed when she sang badly, but not as much as I do when I watch videos. I'm no expert, but I think live concerts have incredible pro audio systems that can hide some flaws with stuff like reverb or really detailed equalizations that just make everything sound better. The sound is rich; it's not just about her voice, it's so good that her voice is not the main thing. At home, it's a different story. The audio isn't the same, and smartphones just don't capture sound the same way. But, of course, smartphones aren't making stuff up, they pick up what's actually happening. But when you play those videos back, the mistakes that weren't hidden by the concert's audio are way more obvious. The atmosphere of a live concert is also different. It’s electrifying, with lights, crowds, and the general energy of the event that keeps you from noticing the inaccuracies. Being part of a happy crowd singing along undoubtedly has an impact. At home, things are quieter and more chill. When you're watching a recording, you end up zoning in on the details of the performance way more.

Yeah, and she never touches the piano in the part where she fixed her hair. Obviously there's a recorded track with drums and other instruments and Madonna's prerecorded vocals. It's not just piano + voice

Not mimed. There are just few notes. And maybe the sound is not even a piano. I attended a show behind Mercy and I'm sure it was her playing. I used to play the piano when I was a kid and I would recognize if she was faking it

Yeah, many people suggest she should change the finale for the Copacabana show, and I agree. I'm not fond of the current tour finale, it wouldn't suffice for such a major event. Everyone agrees that Music is the ideal song for a finale. I can picture a million people singing, "Music makes the people come together." It would be incredible! And I will be there, so I hope this is what she's doing for the finale! It's the perfect song for a large audience.

@True Blue 84 London second night You can clearly see she NEVER plays these notes (which would be high ones).

It's not her piano, I think these are pre-recorded sounds

I think she's playing live

I loved the original Tears Of A Clown in Australia. It was really a great show. I wish I were there. So many mistakes, as she said, but she sang Mer Girl, Paradise (Not For Me), Between The Bars, Borderline. I think I would have cried if I were there. Her mood was very bad, that's why calling the show Tears Of A Clown was perfect. I hated the second livestream show, though. Lately, her mood is sometimes good and sometimes bad. But I think that she'll love performing in Rio in front of a million people

Wig looks bad again. It's weird her mic was off at the beginning

Looks like a caricature of them 😆

I wonder if Madonna met her privately. It would be so iconic!
