  1. The MDNA Tour performance is one my favorite things Madonna has done. The way she turned the song into this melancholic (almost lament like) piece of music is incredible. 

    It completely recontextualized the song and I think, paired with Love Spent, describes the feelings for her marriage with Ritchie and its eventual dissolution. 

    These are all things that I love in Madonna; the constant renovation, the artistic approach to performances and the refusal to just "play the hits".

    Such a detailed setlist. I would also like to point out that before Like A Prayer, Birjina Gaztetto Bat Zegoen by the Kalakan Trio plays, which is also a (beautiful) nod to Girl Gone Wild from MDNA Tour.

  3. Putting aside our different opinions, I think we should all celebrate today. I'm sure Madonna means a lot to each one of us and the fact that she's still with us and still inspiring us is pretty great. I won't lie, I was initially nervous of how she would perform, but I was glad to watch videos of her performing once more. 

    Also, I know this is supposed to be a celebratory show, but in a way it feels kind of bittersweet to me too. In some form it feels like a reckoning with mortality and the passing of time.
