If she's all smiles now I bet it's because she's feeling nostalgic about the tour coming to an end

If she's smiling it's because it's finally over! :devil:

With Malik too maybe  :devil::devil:

From the look on his face he knows it too  :devil:

Guys, here is the audio I recorded from the 3rd in Paris in AIFF. Sorry, it is distorted and there is a lot of bass. But hey, better than nothing, If anyone wants to split or try and fix the sound feel free. The banter in between songs is good on this one!

Yes, I'm saying she's physically weak. She still has a great stage presence - like I think I said in my concert review but  - to me, because of the INJURY - she appears much less powerful physically. 

Now we know that her dancing has been shrunk to little or nothing (The only real dancing routine she has is in the Cape Verde section, some kind of Tango, and Batuka - where she's married to the tune) -  probably because of age - this is NOT a problem!

It costs me a lot to say it but yes, because of her INJURY, her dancing is WEAK. Even when seeing her getting up and down the piano one thinks "ok now she'll fall"

No one - i'm sure - would ever think that back at the RH Tour. 

 

I STILL HOPE TO SEE MY QUEEN on the last paris show!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the late review - honestly was absolutely drained, exhausted and have only just arrived back in London 2 hours ago

 

Both 3rd and 4th March we bought tickets back in June 19

The were end of the row - C & D and had the Rex been setup normally would have been amazing seats

 

We saw on Saturday (29th) just what exactly they had done with the staging and the curtains and were super pissed off that for €387 each the seats would basically maybe see madonna the few times she was at the very front of the stage - otherwise restricted view

 

Tuesday 3rd when we complained initially they tried to move us to second price seats in middle back of the stalls, eventually giving us section 3 row H17 & 19 (which as there is no row A is 7 rows back) I loved the view for watching the show on my birthday

 

Wednesday 4th due to her up and down health, because we expected the edit and also knew we were in for problems with the seats again my other half was asking me every 5 minutes at Disney - has she cancelled yet? 

 

Anyway we got to the theatre after a very tiring day at Disney with only 30 minutes to change at the hotel

 

We arrived at the Rex around 8:30pm but it was A LOT quieter than it had been the night before at the same time.

The lady began to lead us to our seats (different lady than the night before) and started to explain the seats weren’t acceptable and that we had been changed the night before - she didn’t even leave us at our original seats and led us to the back of the orchestra while she got her supervisor 

 

Was the same lady that re-seated is the night before - she immediately smiled at us (compared to the night before) agreed the seats weren’t acceptable and then led us to the exact mirror seats that we had the night before -  section 2 H18-20

 

The Grand Rex is a weird shape and despite being the exact same seats but the other side of the stage they were actually closer than the night before so my other half was half happy...

 

The band came on at 9:30 and yet again the Paris audience was great, and there was a bigger standing ovation at the end compared to the 3rd I thought

 

Now yesterday when they had left the stage through the middle curtain we had seen the stage setup all done for god control - and between the band leaving and the final “get to your seats” was 45 mins

 

Last night as the band left, again a peek through the curtain and complete shock as again the stairs and stage setup for god control

 

Until the curtain rose we refused to believe it - especially as everything was 15mins behind the night before

But on queue at 10:45 the final “please take your seats” came over the speakers and shortly after the show began with the full typewriter intro before God Control

 

Right from the start she har a beaming smile and was even more energetic with some of the choreography than the night before - with an almost disastrous clash/wobble with one the the police dancers where she lost her balance before climbing up the stairs, he saved her and it didn’t phase her

 

After Human Nature again it was with just the singers, but she cut off the express yourself acapella and also the chatter about getting drinks later 

 

Overall throughout the show I felt in some places she moved it along swiftly compare to the night before 

 

When she asked the “what do you call a man with a small penis” about half the audience in the orchestra shouted out “Macron” but she chose to ignore it and did the Donald Trump skit

 

The Polaroid went to a French guy as I’m sure others mentioned - she said she was in excruciating pain and the doctors had told her she absolutely should have cancelled the rest of the tour back end of last year

But she said she carried on because Madame X is a a masochist and also Madame X doesn’t like to disappoint - the crowd went crazy at that point 

When the bidding came she quipped that she didn’t know what was going on with the French economy and that the girl from Croatia Petra from the night before - “I’m saying her name in case she is here tonight! Well Petra told me she gave me 4,000 but when I counted it later it was only 3,800, that’s not on.”  

However last night Petra very clearly bid and gave 3,000 so Madonna was making up a story for effect - as she pointed out to us the night before... 

 

The Guy bid 4,200 and she was happy with that but not that it was 50’s lol

She took 2 Polaroid and gave him what she said was the good one

She asked him what his job was to have so much money and he said he worked for L’Oréal - she said “people have strange jobs” while lying on the stage head over the edge upside down again like yesterday “So do you have a job where you are a makeup artist or you sit at a desk?” He said both “well that’s a stupid answer, it doesn’t make sense! Anyway..”

 

Was a fun interaction - Batuka she did better than the night before with the entrance but was only half way up when she started singing - however across the 29th, 3rd and 4th last night was the only time where she sat in the correct place the first time to use the lamp post for support and the choreography - 29th when she reached back it wasn’t even close and she kind of just sat there rather than correct herself - 3rd when she reached back she quickly moved across closer when she realised 

But last night she was on point and used the lamp post for support straight away and was standing and doing the routine properly 

She didn’t do the the Trill Ululation on the rug but was having fun with the song as always (whereas Saturday when she didn’t do it she was in obvious pain)

 

After that again she talked about how being a mother is the hardest job in the world - “all you mothers out there know that, and all you other motherfuckers out there BETTER know that!”

When she was asking about if people knew what fado means she commented that “you people all seem to know what it means but is that because you are close to me? Did everyone else leave? I can’t see a thing into the audience right now”

The lights came onto the audience and everyone screams for her

When she asked if we wanted to here her sing a little bit of a Fado song the whole audience instantly roared back YEAH - this was the 1st time across the 9 shows I’ve seen where she didn’t have to ask that question twice she noticed

“FINALLY you are answering in unison, thank you!”

From this part she really began to relax

She commented that sometimes there were mistakes or the song didn’t go right to which Gasper said something like you always get things right which she called him a Liar for saying

 

The interaction with her bf is sooo amazing to watch, before he bought out the port she gave a speech on the piano 

“You meet people, you fall in love, you invent a narrative, you create a persona, things happen!  And suddenly you are in a relationship and you find you are with someone that just wants to take, yes that’s right take.

Look at all of you with your innocent faces... you are all guilty of it at one time or another! 

However, there are always exceptions, every once in a while someone comes into your life who just wants to give” at which point he arrived with the white port

They downed it together as a competition but he beat her which she quipped happily that he was too good at that! 

Before it came to Medellin she started playing with the sound and light queues to try and test them and said they kept getting it wrong and she liked to keep them on their toes!

 

To be frank whoever was doing the spotlight both 3rd & 4th must have been drunk as he barely kept her lit at some points in the show

 

After Medellin where the dancer escorts her to the edge of the stairs she stood on 1 foot holding his hand and trying to unbalance him telling him “have you got me? Have you really got me? I’m testing you” smiling and sticking her tongue out 

 

The beer bitch was great, I don’t know Christine but both sides were complimentary and it was filmed so I would think we will see it on Instagram shortly

 

She was a lot happier in Like a Prayer last night I thought and I Rise she really gave it her all

 

I’m sure I missed loads of bits too, but this is what I can remember right now

 

Was an amazing end for us to our own little Madame X Tour

We had 3 cancellations, 1 we rearranged, swapped some of our original tickets in London for box seats in the palladium which were amazing, had 2 amazing holidays combined into the experience over January through to now and honestly was so happy to see her healthy happy, strong and doing what she loves these last 2 days

 

She can see the end in sight and she’s giving her all!

When she asked the “what do you call a man with a small penis” about half the audience in the orchestra shouted out “Macron” but she chose to ignore it and did the Donald Trump skit

To be frank whoever was doing the spotlight both 3rd & 4th must have been drunk as he barely kept her lit at some points in the show

 

After Medellin where the dancer escorts her to the edge of the stairs she stood on 1 foot holding his hand and trying to unbalance him telling him “have you got me? Have you really got me? I’m testing you” smiling and sticking her tongue out 

 

The beer bitch was great, I don’t know Christine but both sides were complimentary and it was filmed so I would think we will see it on Instagram shortly
