Jokes aside, I think she's getting insecure with age. He has always been a perfectionist, but so much time in rehearsals has more to do with stage fright than with the search for perfection.

I love her anyway and how determined she always is.

It's true. And we were all able to verify that during her performance with Maluma in Medellín, because while in rehearsals she showed herself to be sure of herself and with the confidence that makes you feel to be the best artist of all time once she went live, all that security disappeared as if by magic and we saw a Madonna without personality, shy, insecure and gangly.

It was the first time I had seen Madonna with that attitude and I remember being petrified for a few moments after her performance was over because I couldn't believe what I had just seen. Various thoughts were running through my head at that moment, all of them negative: disappointment, disbelief, anger, frustration. The woman who from the beginning of her career exuded self-confidence and self-control now appeared minimized before my eyes. I even remember thinking that it wasn't Madonna but a double.

However, later I understood that human beings are constantly changing, new insecurities can appear over the years that sometimes take us by surprise and it is difficult for us to adapt or overcome them. Whatever insecurity Madonna was affected by during that live performance, I hope she has completely overcome it and that she will once again be the self-confident woman, full of security and elegance on stage and whose look has the powerful effect of make most mortals bow their heads. That is the Madonna I "fell in love" with and is the one I want to keep seeing forever.

I don't know what ya'll are on - but her Medellin performance with Maluma was far from insecure.

That aside - sure like anybody she must feel nervous an her first large tour since RH.

But, her preparation this time isn't any different to Madame X, RH or others - !

Yeah, I enjoyed it.  From what I heard, she didn't really rehearse it much like she usually does, and it seemed to be more improvised and them having some fun.  It's weird how some use this as the blue print of how she will be in the future, when she's had so many fantastic moments when performing over the years.  You can't always win them all.  But that all said, I have no doubt she's going to show the world once again, she can put on one hell of a show with the new tour.

I still haven’t watched that Maluma performance and I also still say that it wasn’t a Madonna performance at an awards show or a performance on her own tour.

She has never let me down when it comes to her own performances and I am super excited about the Celebration Tour.

I think it is going to be quite special and quite spectacular.

agree totally! I'm really looking forward to it!

i believe she once said that everybody onstage must  BE so much rehearsed that they can do the whole show eyes closed and not miss a step.

edit: i forgot "be" in my initial post.

totally! She would almost do the show twice a day - the rehearsals in the day, then the show itself at the night - repeated all throughout!

Yes, this is how Madonna operates.  When it's her show, she doesn't mess around.  Can't wait to see what she has in store for us.  It truly will be a "Celebration".

And this is why we love her.

Interesting. Madonna just posted this on her stories.  More iconic tour images to help promote this tour.

She started earlier than usual because this time she is being organised. Remember how the opening night of the past few tours got pushed back all the time because the show wasn't ready? And how on the Madame X tour she literally told the audience that the show was not finished. She's been biting off more than she can chew and couldn't actually execute her vision in the end due to time constraints. This time it looks like she is doing things properly. 

We want great vocals, we want choreography, we want new visuals, we want new arrangements, we want a show with a good flow. Some of these things won't happen if she doesn't take enough time.

How many months does she normally reherse for her past tours?

Vocals? You mean pre-recorded. She rarely does live vocals these days.

I am glad she is rehearsing for longer. I doubt it has anything to do with being "insecure," more to do with wanting to put on the best show possible. And avoid the many issues she faced with Madame X.

Totally wrong, you clearly didn’t attend Madame X or Rebel Heart where she basically sang LIVE on the backing track.

Yes, but I mean puré live vocals like in who’s that girl tour, blond ambition, drowned world, girlie show and Virgin tour. I prefer one or the other. Personally, i don’t like the sound of her live vocals mixed in with the backing track.

She’s been using backing tracks mixed with live vocals since The Virgin Tour

Correct, although from what I can think they were absent in WTG. It’s funny they mention BAT though, which is the show with the loudest pre recorded vocals besides MDNA and RHT.

wasn't there a thread on here about that which songs were sung live and which used backing tracks / pre recorded vocals?
