I preferred the gold tooth. At least you could see her eyes

She was dreadful on Graham Norton. She put alot of people off. She was very rude and incoherent. She really is her own worst enemy. The whole eye patch thing is awful.

Well, when you collaborate with Patrick Leonard!

And this is with us all buying three fucking copies of her album?!? Did BS release several different formats and covers? What would her sales look like with one physical release?!?

Boring. Are we expected to pay £2000 to see a karaoke show?!? Just sing live. With no effects. If you can.

I'll listen to it. I won't buy it.

I've decided not to buy the album after today.

It's all very sad and we haven't had the album yet. New fans will struggle to buy tickets. Madonna needs new fans.

Great strategy to piss fans off just before the album is released. Who thinks these things up?

With everyone trying to stand up with their phones in the air. I doubt people will see alot.

Apparently, she's doing 245 nights at the Copford village hall, Colchester. Capacity 200.

Because they choose not to whinge and whine about it in a public way.

It's the ticket touts that always threaten events such as this. I saw Kate Bush a few years ago at the Eventim Apollo. There were only a few thousand people each night. Quite a few people around me appeared not to really want to be there and spent quite alot if time chatting and texting on their phones. London theatre critics will be out in force for this show. They will not accept miming or singing along to a backing track. I have been a fan for over 35 years but I am now tired of her narcissistic comments about how the world is punishing her for being 60. Never seen Barbara Streisand or Cher do that. They just continue to release albums and put on great shows in large venues. If anything, Madonna is being punished for making mediocre music. I expect far more from music I listen to than I did 30 years ago. There is such strong lyrics being put out by bands like 1975. Really political stuff. Madonna can't match these. She's surrounded herself with the same team for years now. She really has become a self fulling proficy. She has become stagnant. Oh, Kevin antunes, Jaime King again? Let's see.

These smaller venues concern me. For potentially high prices can it be gaurenteed she is singing live? Will she be rambling to the audience telling poor jokes and advocating world peace? Will a seated audience mean very little atmosphere? Madonna always feeds off audience energy. Sixty is not that old. Is she playing into the hands of her critics by implying she's too old to handle arena shows. We all know Madonna gets bored quickly with a show when she's touring - she says she enjoys the first two and last two weeks. She may be performing far more shows than in previous tours to play to far less people. Will her voice hold out? Will she become bored and tired sooner? Small venues present many technical restrictions. On the plus side there will be less room for shitty editing which made the last two tour dvds unwatchable.

Does she really expect people to pay ridiculous prices to see her pretending to sing over a backing track?!? I'll pay my mortgage off thanks.
