The Celebration Tour (Spoilers)

[Jackie 8,127]

Has she started yet? Any pics?

Just got out of the show. It was pretty late start tonight as expected, but in true Madonna fashion she embraced it during the show. She really should start earlier, as people begin to get fatigued as the show goes on (probably worse on a weeknight).

That said, the show itself was amazing. Such an excellent overview of her life/career with a good mix of hits and fan faves. Some parts are weaker than others, but when it shines it really shines.

Ultimately, I feel super lucky to have seen this landmark tour of a living legend. The one and only MADONNA. I’m happy to say that the show also does a great job at demonstrating her stamp on pop culture.

I hope everyone else had just as much fun at their shows and people enjoy the shows to come!

To summarize such a text, what this person meant was that it is not worth wasting our precious time trying to change the minds of those people who don't like Madonna. He also said that those people are dumb and stupid for not liking Madonna while those of us who do adore her are intelligent and have an above average IQ.

Thank you very much for calling me "THIS PERSON," I feel so honoured and flattered. In response to such tenderness, I'll keep calling you "chicx latinx," as it should be!!!

Chicx, I beg you, just forgive Geri because at time of this song, people didn't have the consciousness of the importance of neutral language, ok?

I SUPPORT THE NEUTRAL LANGUAGE!

IT'S NOT NOSOTROS OR NOSOTRAS, BUT NOSOTRXS!!! LANGUAGES MUST NOT REFLECT PREJUDICE ANYMORE!!!

EDIT: I see chicx latinx assumed I'm a him, in fact I am a him, but they should not do such assumption, so, dear chicx latinx, an advice from M herself: "PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH!!!!"

So sad hearing about her dad... hope he stays strong.

Coming back to the tour itself, her vocals seemed to be much better last night than in the first three US shows? Better audio of "Nothing Really Matters" last night:

I still think NY makes her nervous as f**k somehow.

[Brendanlovesu1 12,432]

she said before in IGTTYAS that you have to work harder for a new york crowd.

Are they harder to please?

New York 3 was great to almost everything

Oh…sad to hear about her dad…maybe that’s why his vineyard is up for sale atm.

Call me crazy, but whenever Silvio makes his grand exit, mark my words, she will also become a grandmother for the first time. I wish him well. Her protection in the spirit realm is no joke.

[steady75 9,630]

Maybe that's why Oh Father was cut. Dunno. Hope he gets better this would be such a blow for her.

Iconic. Would make a perfect DVD/Blu-Ray/Home/Movie release.

Watch her use a selfie when she releases it - if she does!

It's been discussed before I think but technically Live Nation and other promoters consider 90-something per cent a sold out anyway. (Can't remember the exact % figure now).

Anything above that figure is considered a sold out.

Last night was painful. I felt secondhand embarrassment for her. She's got to start these shows earlier.

Because she was late? Why should this be embarrassing? Come on.

Nah, by 30 mins in, people were streaming towards the exits and it continued the rest of the show. I've never seen so many empty seats by the end of one of her concerts. You could tell many people were pissed. 

It didn't help that she kept making fun of the audience about being late all night.

No offense but this is the first time i'm reading this about last nights show.

I totally missed Peaches being one of the guests! I wanted her to do a remix with her during the AL era so bad. Exactly 20 years ago.... That "Operawood" mashup somebody did made up for it, I guess.

Nice to see Kevin get his flowers from all the girls while he's still with us. We're just days away from 1994 (and the Secret video he was in) being 30 years ago....

This makes me wish she did Junior's mix of "Secret" even more now. But let me not be greedy for once, I already feel old boots.
