scion

Mercy doesn't play a note live. Just like M didnt play Future live, and Lourdes didn't play Devil live. None of them actually played the piano live in concert. None of them have the form or sound of a genuine live pianist. And that's fine. It's a pop concert. To be honest I'm surprised anyone in the audiences could be thick enough to believe any of them were playing when their eyes and ears should be saying otherwise.

I mean to be fair she's had 40 years of reports of people behind the scenes that have said she's pretty unpleasant. Other celebrities of equal stardom saying she's rude. Multiple interviews where she is unpleasant. Multiple accounts from former co-stars on screen. Multiple concert videos where she is rude to her audiencd. Various documented poor interactions with fans. I've literally stood 6ft from her crew saying she isn't particularly pleasant at times. It's true she isn't a nice person, there is far too much evidence to ever argue otherwise That doesn't detract from my admiration for her as an artist and performer but I don't doubt for a second that she is a horrible person to those around her and whom she seems beneath her.

I mean seriously, she's acting like an absolute nobhead here. Exactly. It's really odd.

I think for me, the comfort of 20,000 paying guests should be paramount over the vanity of a singer and her 'vocals' that she puts no real effort into anyway tbh. The whole AC off bullshit is just a flex or power. She even did it during Confessions where over a quarter of the show was generally mimed anyway.

Well my dear friend (it's been a while!), we all know she's a pretty rotten human being when it comes to her attitude and general personality. I just find the best way to admire her is to admire her artistry and performance but not to admire her as a human being because she just isn't a likeable person. Although I believe she has admirable political stances her overall contempt towards her fans and crew tells me shes a seriously horrible person and there's nothing admirable about that. The guy who films near the B stage was talking to fans in Stockholm about how she isn't nice to be around if there is a problem. But she's Madonna, I guess she doesn't have to be a nice person.

Yeah I've seen a video of me and M at the moment we locked eyes and she sang some of Rain towards me, but nothing clear enough :(

No you don't. I arrived about 4pm for the Stockholm show with a gold circle ticket, literally walked to the front row when the gates opened, I didn't have to run and people were walking in half an hour later and people were still getting first or second row. Having to queue to get the front row of a Madonna concert is just not the case anymore. She doesn't have the young audience anymore.

don't be a damn fool my friend, she is replacing it with One More Chance, and she will sing it in every key all at once just like Take a Bow.

While I doubt it, I think it would be a brilliant way to go out on top.

Push the button Don't push the button Trip the station Chance the channel Check it out

The sound board operatives really should ramp up the pitch correction on that one and shift her up half a semi-tone.

11 times at my last count, including multiple front row. Maybe 12 times. Very very delicate backing track, it's only ever loud for Can't Get You Out Of My Head. The lead vocal is very much live start to finish and loud. She does however have two very prominent live backing singers who compliment her well. 😁

I mean they don't all do playback, Ms Minogue is entirely live in every concert. She will have a backing track on some choruses or for depth but it's never ever that loud. Taylor I have no idea as she doesn't even register with my music tastes, but I do admire her. Let's just be glad she isn't doing a Dolly and miming her entire concert.

Iiiiiiiiiiii don't synch... I mimmee.. And on a serious note, we all know the show is mostly live. Vocal quality variable show to show. Early USA and last London shows her voice was bad. She sounded great in Los Angeles, and the first few London shows. It's Madonna, she's an entertainer but we all know no vocalist. Peace out M fans.

This 31 year old would like to remind you that this is about 30 years apart and not 40. With kind regards Scone.

I don't even get how she dare show her face.

Variety is the spice of life 🤣

It does, I agree. It isn't good but it's far better than the others. She should scrap this and replace it with something new yet again, You'll See or Drowned World / Substitute For Love. Or alternatively, get some new backing vocals that aren't her 90s voice and sung by a backing singer.

In general no but I love Old Town Road. I even put it on one of my fantasy setlists ages ago ... I'm just surprised she did a prediction of mine lol

Old Town Road? Really? 🤣

Except me. Rain I thought was horrific live this time, although I did have some wonderful eye contact with her. I preferred frozen.

It is by far her best tour.

The holiday choreo is brilliant. The only bad choreo is BIM and LAP... But hey who cares, shes having fun.

Ledge as is Legend 😅😅😅😅

I only found out recently, watched a video of him performing and felt like he was definitely gay... I was right 🤣
