Yes. I’m aware that women can be and often are held to a double standard. However, her reputation has followed her well beyond her youth, and if others are guilty of bad intentions, bad values, and bad taste in human behavior, she most definitely isn’t impervious to these same human limitations. I could list countless examples of Madonna’s failure to be gracious and generous at different stages in her career. It doesn’t make me disrespect her. I understand the human dynamics of fame, wealth, and privilege. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to navigate not falling into the darker recesses of it all. The entertainment industry is rife with narcissists. We celebrate the ones we love and are profoundly irked by those we don’t. We are all mirrors as human beings, and it’s certainly true that if you ask a person who they idolize, you will get a window into their soul. Madonna has transcended so much of her past, and she represents a plethora of positive and enlightened aspects of soul growth, but as a public figure, you carry the weight of your legacy. With her, it is a paradox because - and perhaps I didn’t make this clear in my original post - as longtime fans we love her sass and quick wit. Boy George fans feel the same way about him from what I’ve understood. We all pit celebrities against each other. Mariah, Janet, Taylor, Cher, Beyonce, Elton, Joni Mitchell etc. It’s  a way to live out aggressions we would never want to express to the people we actually have access to in our lives. It’s a way to feel validated in our personal beliefs. Our entire culture is based upon this; the concepts of sacrifice and conflict are inherent to human society. Madonna has played the role of human punching bag for decades due to her outspokenness. Being a cunt is really just a figure of speech. It isn’t necessarily an insult either. 😂

Well I don’t know so many things about actors/singers that I don’t give a single F 😂

Still have one Fosse Or 1 ticket for Paris 20th November with discounted price. PM

That's really harsh because Boy George is more than just a one-hit wonder, they had real cultural relevance for some time. But the bitterness is thick.
Don't do too much drugs people, they make you sad.

To me, this tour is like the follow up to the Blond Ambition Tour, 33 years later. There's a similar vibe, i don't know if some other people feel what i mean.

Yes. He hired a rent boy and then chained him up for days or something like that.

They have always been very supportive of her in France as I can remember, they were specially supportive during American life. 

I'm still reeling over the "Time, New York City, Fragments, and the story of her" concepts that run throughout the show.

It's written and performed in a way that it showcases so many of M's aspects, not only musically but also personally. Very clever, so full of Easter eggs. Ok, I'm just repeating what's already been said. Veni Vidi Vici.
I hope we get a full verbatim of all her Burning Up speeches at the end of the tour to see the evolution after she relived all these moments again and again. The final show is probably going to be something to remember.

Do all the non English speaking fans know that she pronounces Revolver as Re-Vulva to reference her vagina?
Just curious. 

I loved this description/review from a fan named Boy Toy at Pop Justice;
This is not a hits show!

Madonna is not repeating herself, she’s not retracing her steps, she’s not trying to fit into her old-selves or simply revisit her legacy.

Present-day Madonna is devouring her past, her music, her history, her impact, her legend and presenting to us a distorted version of herself, blurring the borders of real and surreal, documentary and fiction, life and art, like Madonna herself. 

It’s a Celebration of Madonna’s music history which is also a Celebration of the history of music. It’s a Celebration of her cultural impact which is also a celebration of culture itself. It’s a Celebration of dance, of joy, of humanity, of creativity, of having no fear, of standing by what you believe, of expressing yourself. It’s a Celebration of love.

It’s a Celebration of life. It’s a Celebration of Madonna’s life. It’s a Celebration that Madonna is alive - in the stage and inside all of us.

The French are better at taking videos than the Germans…. No surprise there 

“I’m sorry this is not Madame X” I am DEADDDDD go M!

Such an odd choice for Holiday promo. I’ll take it tho.

Not sure if this has been discussed anywhere on the forums but the discount chain Marshall's (similar to TJ/TK Maxx, HomeGoods/HomeSense,etc.) has been airing commercials for the 2023 holidays featuring 4 Minutes in the campaign. Very cool to have this song get some promo.
 

My head is still spinning over the show this Monday.

Back after my Parisian concert this monday.
I am still in shock and I lack words to express what I felt during this concert.
It's one of her best tours for me (but I didn't attend the MX and RHT). Everything is here. So worked. And really surprised by her physical form because she moves a lot. After reading the reviews and some videos I had watched (I wanted to keep surprises), I thought it would be more static. But it's incredible at her age and after what she's been through to see her in such good shape. Everything is well thought out so that she doesn't get too exhausted.
Stuart did a wonderful job. The versions are so good. Her voice is excellent (and good effects). It’s technically, visually and vocally stunning.
My testimony is probably boring but I loved everything about it. My level of enthusiasm reminds me the one I had leaving the Grilie Show at the same venue 30 years ago 

If anything, it should be merged with the version which currently sits incorrectly on the debut album as it's the same remix but with a  slightly different length. The Celebration version sits by itself as the only full original version available online.

make one

I'd love the tour to be filmed with another ambitious project in mind, crossing over with the many archive found through the movie writing process and the scripts. We're probably not going to get a simple tour video montage.
It could hopefully be a story-driven non-fiction biopic, maybe in serial format, as exciting and groundbreaking as Truth or Dare was in its time.
I'd try and do that.

2008 Madonna be like
