The media needs to understand that the whiners abt the late starts will STILL scream like groupies once the show finally begins.

Bijou Clochard An ugly truth: Some acts are asked to start late by certain venues so they can sell more concessions. Grace Jones talks about in her recent autobiography.

Madonna’s ‘Rebel Heart’ still beating strong

http://thegavoice.com/madonnas-rebel-heart-still-beating-strong/

Be still your rebel hearts, your beleaguered queen arrives next week.

 

After suffering several setbacks that sentenced the singer to spend much of last year pivoting both professionally and personally, Madonna finally brings her “Rebel Heart Tour†to Philips Arena, Wednesday, Jan. 20. Marking the icon’s 10th trip around the world, the tour was plagued by production delays when, last May, Madonna regretfully postponed the tour’s first five dates—including Atlanta’s initial September show.

 

“As my fans already know, the show has to be perfect,†Madonna said in a statement. “Assembling all the elements will require more time than we realized … I can promise you this show will be worth the wait.

 

So what has Atlanta been waiting for? Seems the singer still favors familiar themes of sex and salvation. Reviews of the tour’s first leg reveal that fans should expect pole-dancing nuns, straddling priests, a simulated Last Supper-like orgy—and a ukulele? After more than 30 years of performing, over 300 million worldwide album sales, and two of the top 20 highest-grossing world tours ever, it seems Madonna might still have a few tricks up her sleeve.

 

Just before Christmas, after a Glasgow venue pulled the plug on her concert for breaking curfew, Madonna merrily returned to the stage to gift fans with the show’s final song. Backed by thousands of singing fans, Madonna performed a truly unplugged version of her first hit single, “Holiday.â€

 

The singer’s latest era felt destined for doom after an Israeli hacker leaked more than two dozen demos online. A miffed Madonna compared the breach to “artist rape†and “a form of terrorism,†but scrambled to rescue the record’s release by pushing up promotion and partnering with iTunes in a last minute, Hail Mary, Beyoncé-like surprise release of the album’s first six tracks.

 

Despite pulling off a rushed mini-release right before the Christmas holiday, the rest of Madonna’s 13th studio album failed to reach the heights of any of her preceding efforts. It’s the singer’s first record since 1982 for which the lead single (or any single, for that matter) has failed to crack the Billboard Hot 100. Despite missing the mainstream charts, Madonna still made a home atop the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart with all three â€œRebel Heart†singles.

 

The mainstream charts aren’t the only place absent Madonna; she hasn’t had nearly as much radio airplay in this era.Last year, Madonna accused BBC Radio of ageism after her lead single “Living for Love†was excluded from Radio 1 airplay. At the time, head of Radio 1 programming George Ergatoudis insisted he was tasked with capturing a younger audience and that “the vast majority of people who like Madonna … are over 30 and frankly, we’ve moved on from Madonna.†Instead, they shuffled the song to its sister station, which caters to “older audiences.â€

 

Once again miffed, Madonna spoke out in a revealing Rolling Stone interview, stating, “It’s still the one area where you can totally discriminate against somebody, and talk shit. Because of their age. Only females, though. Not males. So in that respect we still live in a very sexist society.â€

 

Despite hitting back, the criticism surrounding Madonna’s age continued after the singer tumbled while performing live at the 2015 Brit Awards.

 

Through a tumultuous year, Madonna has poured herself into this album’s promotion. Trying to harness technology, Madonna reached her most devoted fan base via Grindr to promote Rebel Heart. She also successfully teamed with Snapchat to debut the video for “Living for Love,†but suffered difficulties when premiering the video for second single “Ghosttown†on Meerkat and the star-studded third video, “Bitch, I’m Madonna,†on Tidal.

 

While Madonna struggles to find her place in the current landscape of pop music, it’s important to note that she’s arguably the movement’s matriarch. Before the rise of sexting, if you wanted someone to see you naked, you published a book—much like Madonna did with 1992’s Sex. Madonna paved the way for the current crop of provocative performers. Without Madonna, there’d be no Britney; no Xtina. So, in at least that way, her Rebel Heart still beats strong.

Madonna. Atlanta originally was one of the first dates on the “Rebel Heart†tour, until production issues bumped back the launch date. Now, we’re at the tail end of the North American jaunt. Fans will hear many selections from her underrated “Rebel Heart†album, but those who still prefer old-school Madonna should have plenty of reason to get into the groove. Her set list, which doesn’t vary much between shows, has included “Holiday,†“Who’s That Girl†and a medley featuring “Lucky Star†and “Dress You Up.†8 p.m. Jan. 20. $44-$359. Philips Arena, 1 Philips Drive, Atlanta.

Ok , tomorrow Madonna concert, had another friend bail on me. Free ticket, hotel, just lacking a vehicle since mine is dead. Why can't I find a person to put up with me for one night for a free Madonna concert in Atlanta! Looking for anyone at this point! I WILL find a vehicle and willing person between now and the concert! Section 111, row G, seat 7 & 8!

Madonna just hashtagged "tearsofaclown" with lyrics from Live To Tell on her Instagram. 

Is this a hint that Atlanta and / or Miami might get Live to Tell acoustic.

Would be amazing if it happens! :)

Luv this disclaimer! :)

 

Sean Byrd‎ to Rebel Heart Tour 2015
7 hrs Â· Chicago, IL Â· 
 

Dear People of Georgia seeing The Queen tonight..please keep in mind a few things (and alert the media):

1) Yes..your ticket says 8pm..that means her opening act..a DJ you will not care for..is first. Madonna herself will not take the stage till approximately 10:30. DEAL WITH IT, BITCHES!

2) This is not a "hits" tour. You will hear A LOT of songs from her current masterpiece (hint: it's the name of the tour) While you WILL hear a sh*t ton of amazing hits from her oeuvre, you'll want to..you know..download her CURRENT album and familiarize yourself with her new stuff.

3) OPEN YOUR HEART...AND MIND. You're going to have a life changing experience.

Sincerely,
A Mega Fan Sick of the Whiners

Why? Only because she sang it here in 2001?

Apparently she wrote SECRET in Atlanta:http://www.mad-eyes.net/tours/drowned-world-tour/diary4-north-america.htmAnyway... I hope you're right!
Didn't she write You'll See there as well, which is why she did sing it there in DWT? I might be wrong though. Anyway fingers crossed :-)
