Rocco takes after his father, from whom he inherited a passion for suits. In fact, his father always wears a suit and has talked about the significance of men wearing stylish suits many times (even on Joe Rogan's show). Rocco's style is similar to his father's, he only wear suits. It's a bit of a shame because he doesn't have a distinct personal style, but it's a style that I appreciate. He looks good.

I also have to mention that he bears a resemblance to Madonna's brother, Christopher.

Well, the Ritchies are somehow part of British nobility and even have a saint linked to their family. They're the definition of "modern, capitalist bourgeoisie" - since the historic one was also part of the Third State as in the French revolution.

Well, I believe all these songs fit in the narrative she's doing for this tour. All of them tell a story directly related to her. Plus she's not doing new songs this time so there's more space for usually forgotten gems like the songs you mentioned.

She's doing a different approach this time, and I don't see her doing a selfconfessional and so referential tour again, especially with this amount of songs that talk heavily to her heart. That's why I don't believe she'll do a Celebration Tour part 2. She could even deliver a typical GH Tour the way Kylie's Showgirl Tour or even Cher's "Farewell" Tour were done, but it won't be the same as this Celebration Tour. Sorry for being aggressive to your thread, Justice, I apologize myself. I know when I'm wrong. @thiagosb(sorry if you're spoiler free, if so, just read these words and move away from this thread), the same I feel for you and your own thread. I am actually tired of not getting a new M album but I am aware she needs more time to deliver something can be proud to. Just like this tour. I honestly believe you're actually right in your schedule. I just don't trust in M herself to deliver it in the years you said!

@Anapausisi see your point. but i do think she already have a lot of material recorded for a new album. it will just take some more time for us to hear it #soon 😊 

i don’t see madonna embarking on a GH or Farewell tour… it is too cliché for her standards.

Ok guys I will be completely honest with you. No video or photo can compare to the real thing. She is fantastic, vocally good and relaxed, physically beautiful and calm, her vibrant energy is there and the show is just magnificent. Madonna was super happy and energetic through out the show and seeing her with her son was special !

Some songs could be replaced but all in all it was superb.It’s an experience that everyone should live.

 

She lookin good honey! She woke up, ate a lil breakfast, bathe that hot pus and gave y’all a show!

(Sorry in advance for the deliberated use of CAPS.)

THIS TOUR WAS EXACTLY WHAT MADONNA NEEDED TO DO RIGHT NOW. THE EXACT WAY IT'S PRESENTED. NO NEW ALBUM, NO BIOPIC, NOTHING ELSE, NOT EVEN THE "PERSONALLY CURATED EXPANDED EDITIONS," JUST THE MAXISINGLE REISSUES AND THIS TOUR. YOU ALL CAN CRUCIFY ME FOR MY WORDS BUT I STAND STRONG MY OPINION.

(Back to normal broadcast)

David Banda is 50% owned buy Guy Richie. Madonna was forced to give up her share of Rocco a few years ago.

I hope this doesn’t come out wrong but I want her new album to be as important to her community and fans as Beyoncé's Reinassance is for music and black gay culture

I want hers to be a cultural statement as that album was.

Not saying she hasn’t been or that I’m a fan of the other singer, but that album had wattage

This is such a cool fan review of the show last night from RJF at Pop Justice that I had to share. I hope you enjoy this read as much as I have….

So after spending about half an hour panicking in the longest, coldest queue ever to get into the stadium last night, it turned out... I must have been in the first thousand or so allowed into Golden Circle?!?!!! Gag the girls who actually paid for Early Entry a bit, I guess. But basically, there were so many bits where I could be just a few rows away from the stage. I had no idea where was technically best... so I just went for the end of the stage. Now, I am not a barrier girlie, friends. I honestly just don't care enough to put myself through it and normally I turn up to get a decent midway spot which is what I thought I was doing, but I luck appeared to be on my side so I just fucking went for it, toilet and drinks be damned. I have never been that close to the stage at an arena show. I was vibrating!!!! Well maybe not after standing there for the next two hours waiting for her to come on but all was forgotten when the lights went down.

Last night was really just perfect, honestly. Conceptually, the show is just a total masterpiece. I remember when this tour was announced - this greatest hits tour that we all thought she would never do - and even in our wildest dreams I don't think any of us could have imagined it being a two hour invite into the maelstrom of Madonna's mind. At the beginning of last night in that absolutely merciless run of early 80s smashes, I thought I had things pegged: a chronological show, a stylised life story, cool! I was all in! ...but then I should have realised. As "Holiday" guttered out into a desperate plea, the disco ball slowed to a crawl, her dancer ebbed away, and "In This Life" (?!?!?!??!??!!?!?!!?111!11111!) started, I actually thought of that haughty post in here a few weeks ago being all, "I paid for a greatest hits show!!!" and reminded myself of my own words: this was a show for her first, and us second. In fact, she even told us what kind of show this was going to be the moment we saw the imagery: iconography, distorted and warped. Not a discography, but the performance of a life, remembered and misremembered. Sometimes coherent and correct, and sometimes wild hazy and inaccurate.

The staging is... yet another example of her show pushing the medium forward. I actually went to Fotografiska earlier that day and weirdly I felt that it prepared me for what she had in store? The way the screens constantly shifting and moving feel more like someone trying to organise their thoughts as things flicker in and out of focus; how sometimes things overwhelm and overpower. The AIDS memorial was instantly one of the best things she's ever done on stage; how her floating mournfully around it felt like some kind of solemn recollection and a gallery/museum preserving these memories rolled into one. Of course they're also just used to blast you with how much of a QUEEN she is, but they're used really artfully too. Stuff like during "Mother & Father" where she, tiny, is singing up to the monolithic, untouchable portrait of her mother... chills. I also have no real concrete problems with the setlist; I at least understand the logic and reasoning behind all the choices made, some of them were a gag (Erotica ATE!!!) and each suite after the cheery 80s gauntlet becoming something more abstract was really interesting. Less about representing a time period and more about representing an attitude, or a state of mind. The pacing of the middle is wildas things lurch between deep cuts, smash hits, and utterly random connections (Human Nature/Crazy For You and I Will Survive/La Isla/Don't Cry?!?!??!!!!) with all varying tempos... It's chaos... but Madonna is chaos. And we are merely guests for a time in this, the palace of her mind. A hitmaker, a performer, a ferocious deity, a woman, an activist, an advocate, and most importantly to her these days, a parent.

She's also human. Seeing her up close was an incredible reminder of that. After I recovered from being about five people away from her, I was struck by the fact that... she's a person? Tiny in real life and every single inch of her purpose-built for a two hour show, but still just... vulnerable in a way I never think of her as. It was during the third act when she's in the red lingerie, fully exposed, but still entirely in control. There were also moments where she was of course invincible like the fucking silver bodysuit?!?!?!?1/!?! I live.

The whole thing was just a much needed reminder of how singular she is... and how much she means to me. The pandemic really did a number on my relationship with her music and with this forum; I'll never regret the work I put into the discography rate but it came at a cost, sacrificing memories and associations songs originally had until it was just a spreadsheet and the fucking wall I would stare at between paragraphs when I was doing write ups. I really needed this show to fix that. A pilgrimage to pop's capital to see its Queen and remember why I swore fealty in the first place! It was the hunt for tickets that brought me back to all of you full-time as well, I'm sure some of you will be thrilled to know. It was similar to Dua's tour last year; I needed new memories to obliterate the old ones, and well... I got them in spades. I'll remember it for the rest of my life, I hope.

No one else will ever be like her. Ever.

Renaissance wasn’t just for black gay culture. Renaissance was about reclaiming house, a genre that us black people pioneered. She’s is also set to release two more albums. 

Act 2 Enlightenment reclaiming country

Act 3 Revolution reclaiming rock and roll

What I knew was this tour was to fund the 'autobiographic' movie, which will start shooting after the tour is over around fall 2024. Whether the plans changed I don't know, but I doubt we are getting an extension in stadiums. I'd love that though

Everything is a rumor, the Latinamerica too, I did read somewhere along the way about the film after the tour, but that was a rumor too, no? 

Most of all I want new music between this massive projects… bring it on M
