That’s something hard to prove. She’s a dancer and performer since she was in her late teens. The body is out through a lot as an athlete and that’s how she treated herself for 30+ years. She missing cartilage. That doesn’t happen from a surgery all of a sudden. 

This is true of course, but I guess the extra weight of the implants worsened the issue.

Oops double post

WAIT A SECOND.

They filmed her doing Hung Up with the outfit she wore on the teaser in IG and TikTok even though she wore a different outfit for it in the live performance.

Must have been a dress rehearsal.

Those saying she had hip surgery… it’s already 2 years… + if she can’t dance no need to do gigs in the first place. 

I will keep saying this till I die…. She can’t dance like before not because of her surgery it’s because of her BUTT implants + her current weight. Bye

Have you ever heard of Lizzo?

I don’t know why most of you keeps mentioning her age & how she’s old & still dance & sing like if it’s a miracle or something… totally weird… a 64 year old is NOT that old! Please we need to STOP with this age excuse. 

can you give me some examples?

It makes me sad that fans are actually saying she did AMAZING to such performance. I mean I’m a MADONNA fan. I saw her doing these epic shows!!! I just can’t accept this new reality.

 

That’s the crual truth ! 

[chaosmen1984mk 199]

"It's a tough job but somebody has to do it!" ... and no one better than her to do it, although over the years we have seen innumerable copies that, in their desire to surpass her, ended up reaching vulgarity or simply did not measure up because originality and genuineness can never be falsified. How fortunate I feel to be her fan and get excited every time she goes on stage expecting the unexpected because Madonna is so unpredictable that we can expect anything from her, perhaps this is the trait that most characterizes her and sets her apart from other artists.

And as for those who are still dissatisfied and demand risky choreography, I would recommend simply living on the memories: there is enough old Madonna material to keep them entertained for the rest of their lives. But let's be realistic and don't expect someone over 60 to have the same physical performance as a 30-year-old, regardless of their weight or their implants.

... If only selling one's soul to the devil in exchange for eternal youth were a reality, how many of us would have already succumbed to the offer, because for people who love the intensity of life, the passage of time will always be our worst nightmare.

She won't be dancing like before because of years of destroying her body with demanding world tours, and yes because of her age, if you can't understand or accept that fact it's your problem, and hip surgery it's absolutely serious operation. She doesn't have to dance like before she have dancers for it. Bye

The cruel truth is that that you have unrealistic expectations, you are hating on this woman for aging and think that she will be 30 forever

Now that’s plausible. I would say a slow down in her extensive workout may have also worsened it. If all you ever do is push your limits and then stop, your body will decline fast.

Butt plants has no correlation to your cardio fitness which does have a direct correlation to your ability to dance.

She is 64 - what's your mum doing? 

We cannot keep expecting her to perform like she did when she was 50 - let's stop - let's celebrate her success - she looked great, she performed great, was great to see her back!

So you’re telling me those EXTRA BIG PILLOWS are not really effecting her dance / move ability? Seriously? Lol my mum is not a singer/performer/dancer…

Those diapers do not restrict movement, however, they can weigh you down a bit and rarely can make certain specific movements more difficult. More importantly, I'd say they changed her figure, making her shorter and fatter. And as a result, clumsy.
Even at the Rebel Heart Tour, her movements were already a bit stiff, but her flawless, slender physique made her look different.

Then let's remember that she's getting older, she's had health problems, and I think she had a hip replacement, she had surgery for hip osteoarthritis.

It's normal that she doesn't move as well as she used to. The butt implants don't help her, but they're not the reason why she lost the mobility she had.

Anybody have a pic of the "Erotica" t-shirt that was being sold at this event....pahllllleaase

[vadge 392]

Weird that we all prayed for a nice performance, without braids, without grills, not missing any cues, blah blah blah.

She delivered everything we wanted... and the discussion is still about her implants, performance skills, body, age etc. You just want more and more and more.

What happened to this topic? I go away for a few hours and it's now it's gross and full of sad people. Not cute

All this promo for like 200 rich young people who probably won't even buy the album. 

She should have at least done a heavily promoted streaming concert. 

Nah, the people in the room were just props.

It was really for the social media audience and that FEL promo. It fulfilled its purpose!

She definitely won't pull an MDNA tour again. To me RHT was a disappointment, the first time she was not doingcany heavy dance routine, and preferred MXT. I am sure if the stakes are higher we are going to see MXT level performances as well 

I loved the RHT, even though she was not in the same physical shape as on previous tours, she danced less and was less fluid in her movements. The choreographies were simpler.
But it was all studied to perfection and she was still able to impress with her skills and impeccable physical fitness.

In an interview during the Rebel Heart Tour, she said she did not train for that tour as much as she did for the previous ones:

I haven’t had as much time to train and prepare myself physically for this show as I have in the past with other shows.

That’s just because I have four kids, and they take up a lot of time. So I have to choose between working out and spending time with them, and then also putting my show together. I have to find the balance of training enough so that I’m not winded and out of breath when I’m onstage, but also not wearing myself out, and also seeing my kids.

 

I think she knows very well what physical shape she is in, but she does what she can to have fun. And as she has said in a thousand interviews over the last six years, she doesn't train as much as she used to. Fitness is no longer an obsession for her, she is also less careful about her diet and wants to relax a bit. At that age, after a lifetime of sacrifice and crazy training, physical decline happens very quickly.

She is getting older, has had arthritis, and we don't know of any other health problems. If she didn't dance anymore I would be fine with it, not everyone is lucky enough to grow old like Mick Jagger.

I just hope that she cures her performances, that she knows what she is doing on stage, and that we don't see her anymore as an inexperienced performer like I saw her at the Women's March, in Harlem or at the Maluma concert
