    The Celebration Tour (Spoilers)

    in The Celebration Tour

    Posted

    On the subject of Easter eggs, I thought when I attended on Tuesday night that maybe the side screens and opening screen are Easter eggs for The Virgin Tour (Dress You Up) and Who's That Girl (Where's the Party?).

    But that's just wishful thinking on my part lol.

    Is there a thread of all the Easter eggs in this show?

    [October 17, 2023] The Celebration Tour, London #3

    So, I attended this show, and it was amazing.

    It's true Diplo was the support act, and he was shit. He did get the crowd going though, I'll give him that.

    I was surprised by how diverse the audience was, if I'm honest. There were a lot of people my age (30) and younger, in addition to older people too. I saw a lot of M tributes from audience members too. Off the top of my head, I saw at least five in the "Italians Do It Better" shirt, two Super Bowl M's, two Vogue VMA Ms, one Hanky Panky BAT M, and one American Life RIT M.

    Can confirm that she started the show on time (at 8:50pm), we got a full show, and the crowd were living. One of the most animated crowds I've been part of, given it was a midweek crowd. We had seats towards the back of the arena (Block 106), and everywhere you looked there were people getting their lives to pretty much every song. Seats were fantastic, but when M came to the very end of the centre catwalk, our vision of her was blocked due to the bunch of cable wires that were hanging directly in front of us (although this occurred maybe 2% of the show, so it's no big deal).

    Into the Groove was a big crowd pleaser, as were Holiday, Like a Prayer, the Papa Don't Preach intro, Vogue, Don't Tell Me and the literal ten-second rendition of Music we got. The finale I found quite abrupt and confusing (and so did everyone in my section), but other than that, I can't fault it. The LAV/BJ tribute is gorgeous, by the way - another crowd pleaser. The setlist was exactly the same as opening night. I never heard any snippets of Candy Shop (although I hate that song and don't know why she loves it so much), or of Spotlight, tbh.

    She also got quite emotional when she was discussing what was going on in Israel/Gaza, and mentioned a six-year-old boy who was murdered in Chicago on Monday. All in all, £200 very much well spent.

    Bacterial Infection Thread

    in News ✖ Discussion

    Posted

    I've had a look at bacterial infections, and they can range from food poisoning to STIs to pneumonia to e-coli. It also says that the vast majority of these infections aren't life-threatening at all - unless they get into your blood, lungs, heart or brain. So that could've been why she was rushed to ICU (providing Page Six are accurate).

     I had pneumonia in 2012 (at least I think I did; I saw four different doctors who told me four different things), and it took me about six months to feel truly normal again. And I was only 19 at the time!

    So, I can see the first American leg being postponed and the tour starting in October in London, at the very least.

    May M get well soon - and God Save the Queen!
