Did I miss something? Did she even perform? When? I got so bored by all the talking…

Literally was first thing I saw on her Instagram this morning. Nice cover and you can hear her mature higher range very well.

I liked it. I wish she would do more things like this like Annie Lennox in her IG. You know... music... And less what she usually does. 

[Pootz333 2,353]

Not me getting a little misty.

This was sweet. Can't complain. Now which one of you are going to pull some craft and get her isolated vocals from this? Tag me when she leaks.

[nito84bcn 2,446]

Sweet! Great campaign. I can't believe that we have a war in Europe right now... disgusting. Putin sucks. 
And she's better without filters, she looks better!

Awe, Elton is thanking Madonna. That’s sweet. It’s actually a pity they’ve never collaborated together because of their massive egos.

She would do so well doing an Unplugged session. I love it when she just sits there and sings. 

I would absolutely love that, its been a long time since she has just actually done a performance to highlight her voice.

I honestly can't believe the cordialness on display in here on this day.

I enjoyed it a lot. Very sweet and beautiful. I wish a solo perfomance of this song. It's my favorite Elton John's song.

Well, it's clear some people here are  bitter individuals who cannot appreciate anything since they have been criticizing her every move (and i won't mention any names but 1987 was not the best Madonna era by far) and, of course, the usual trolls because that's what it's like to have no life i guess. 

The event raised more than 10 billion euros. And naysayers, what have they done to help ?

It was intimate and sweet and the choice of song is symbolic because for her, chosing to perform an Elton John's song, is like an olive branch. 

[scion 2,505]

I thought it was excellent. I much prefer how this sounds than anything she’s done since the RH era, no complaints from me. 
 

Love Elton anyway, incredible artist.

The more I watch it the more it moves me. Aside from the fact the song already has done emotional significance for me there are some wonderfully tender moments between M and David. An arm across his shoulder, the way he looks at her at one point - you can genuinely see and feel the love between mother and son and it’s delight.

A real contrast to some of the zaniness we see from Chez Ciccone sometimes. I would love more of this: gentle, simple and warm.

haha, artists disturbing peace et cetera

I love when she performs with David. They have a beautiful bond. This was something nice done for charity, even Elton (or his social media handlers) could put a petty feud aside and thank Madonna.

[Lucky90210 664]

It was cool. 

[eXtremeOccident 1,961]

This was one of my favorite Madonna moments in at least the last few years. She has such an emotional and beautiful voice when she keeps it simple...there are very few artists who are able to emote like she does, even if she doesn't always hit every note perfectly.

I'd love to hear a studio version of her doing this song, but I'm sure that won't ever happen. Alas.

Not gonna lie, I teared up a bit when they overlaid the Ukrainian pics. Such a devastating situation 

[Kieran 1,013]

It was a nice performance. A decent rendition of a classic song. I wish there was nothing detracting from that for me… but:

1.  Why not film the performance ‘properly’ with a decent camera and microphone - and at least put it in landscape, not portrait. 

2.  Her own introduction to this performance says that artists are here to ‘disturb the peace’. Really? In a time of war, when we are literally hoping and praying for peace…? Trying to get a MX tie-in here is unnecessary and the language is ill-judged.

3. That picture behind her. I could not believe it. The news is literally full of images of shallow graves and people finding their loved ones’ bodies on the side of roads in Ulkraine. I could not take that out of my mind for the whole performance. Maybe that was the intention…? She could have switched the picture for something more befitting. 

A nice performance, but I do not think that because it is for a ‘good cause’ that it is beyond reproach. Of course, any artist sees the value of contributing to such an event and for the contributing to the greater good - but they also see it as a public relations opportunity for their own cause.

Artists are here to disturb the peace makes sense to me. Think about how many people are literally ignoring what’s going on or acting like it’s not a big deal because of how far away they are from it.

Fine but we dont need to hear it repeated for six billion lightyears.
