go go go!

hey there!
so here's my little review. i went spontaneously to the second london show on sunday. i LOVED IT and would give it 4/5 stars. she is still on TOP OF HER ARTISTY and this alone is to bow down for all of us!
the fist two acts are more or less PERFECTION and the story line works. she takes us on the 'madonna story' train. the opening with nrm was breathtaking, the 80s hits such a joy. open your heart plays such a beautiful tribute to the mondino video. going from holiday (careless party) to live to tell (aids pandemic) is pure madonna pop genius. she never goes just for the hits, she takes us on an emotional journey. this has been said many many times, this time i feel it most clearly. i was sooo moved by it. the erotica act, wow wow wow, i couldn’t stop saying wow and screaming 'this is beautiful' (i sat in the back, had an overview on everything). hot as fuck. the papa dont preach with the blond ambition bed - WOOOOW, another pure genius moment! the ballroom part - perfection, bob was amazing. their presence was perfection!! so good. hearing 'updown suite' - who would have thought?! LOVE
then, the concert kinda looses it a bit, there are still great moments, but it seems less tightly thought through. or at least, i couldnt deceiver it. ray of light was probably the best in that part of the concert. our show ended with rain, quite abruptly. but i was still super happy.
the lightning / staging / dancers - VERY VERY GOOD!!! really incredible 
my personal thinking. Madonna is both. the genius behind it all, but also her own saboteur. i feel like she would have needed someone else to help her with the overal arch. i guess she tends to get suuuuper detail oriented , which very often pays off, but then... how can you not finish your own concept? land it somewhere. if they would have managed that - best concert ever.
still - it's a CELEBRATION, B*TCHEEEES !!!!! ******

I wondered this after I heard an interview recently where he said he loses his voice very easily... 
And I was on the fence at first but think he fits in just fine. 
Who are we kidding? Estere is probably waiting backstage with a handful of pearls for him to walk by and fully take over that segment.

For the most part, Yohannes and Melssen created and designed all of Madonna’s costumes themselves, though they also enlisted designers such as Donatella Versace, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Dilara Findikoglu to create special one-off looks for her, too. “We wanted to reference everything that she’s done, and make something new out of that,” says Melssen. “We created a whole new world.”

Hope they are rehearsing getting M on stage by 8.30 🤣🤣 (Sorry I'm evil!🤣)

Madonna is 'facing a £300,000 fine after breaking key rule' during Celebration Tour concert at the O2 Arena
 Daily Mail News Report
 
Whoops....
There are some cool pictures in this report.
 
Madonna is reportedly facing a £300,000 fine after breaking a key rule during her Celebration Tour concert at the O2 Arena on Sunday. 
The singer, 65, was due to finish her show at 10.30pm but it over-ran until 11pm when it finished abruptly, missing out four songs on her setlist. 
It's believed the show was cut short because it ran over the venue's curfew, which states that events in the arena finish no later than 11pm Monday-Saturday and no later than 10.30pm on Sunday.
During the show, Madonna sent temperatures soaring as she hit the stage in satin lingerie and writhed on stage with a whole host of topless dancers.
'Gutted' fans missed out on the chance to hear Like A Virgin, B***h I'm Madonna, Holiday and show closer Celebration.
Despite cutting her show short, Madonna still overran by 30 minutes, meaning fans were at risk of missing the last tube home. 
The late running show means she could be fined a total of £300,000, The Sun reports. 
This is due to curfew rules from TfL and arena operators AEG proclaiming fines of £10,000 a minute. 
However, Greenwich council has said its midnight curfew wasn't broken and that it doesn't intend to investigate the breach. 
MailOnline has reached out to representatives for Madonna for comment. 
Furious fans pointed out that Madonna would have had time to complete her two-hour show if she'd appeared on stage earlier, with fans still waiting for her to appear at 9pm. 
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, they vented their frustration at being 'robbed of a finale' after paying up to £1300 for tickets. 
Concertgoers fumed: '@Madonna please start a bit earlier for your next two @TheO2 shows! Cutting the end of your show is short changing your loyal fans! We all know you’re a rule breaker, so if you run over break the rules and pay the fine! #MadonnaCelebrationTour'; 'The show was the best thing I’ve ever seen. However, she had to cut the show short and ended with rain due to curfew #MadonnaCelebrationTour'
'@Madonna what a beautiful concert, even after she was late on stage. Disappointed the show was cut short really really gutted about the ending #MadonnaCelebrationTour #o2dome'; 
'Night 2 of #TheCelebrationTour and Madonna seemed on better form tonight. Happier, more confident and moving much more fluidly. Last couple of songs cut short due to The o2’s curfew but she was amazing. Hats off to the Queen ❤️ #MadonnaCelebrationTour';
'Very mixed feelings about #MadonnaCelebrationTour last night. The show we got was great but it started v late & therefore we were robbed of a finale /encore. Rain was a terrible song to end on & I left feeling deflated. Not what I & the fans paid a lot of money for.''
'Where is Madonna?? Supposed 1030 curfew at O2 and it’s 846'; '@Madonna get on stage on time, especially in London with the curfew. You can not be charging 1000s for tickets then doing part of the show. @guyoseary get this under control.';
'Madonna is actually brilliant live. HOWEVER she's literally just said bye London and the lights came on and now she owes the o2 30 grand for going over curfew '; 'It must be bc of the curfew, she ended 11pm exact. But tbh this is bad, I'm sorry Madonna you are the queen of pop and I love you. But people are paying over 1000,- to see you, you can't end like this. Just start on time your fans deserve the full show';
'I've seen @Madonna live twice on 2 different tours. Both times she started so late the show got cut off before the finish. Typical. Other than that, I enjoyed it. We even got a bit of 'Don't cry for me Argentina'.'

"When I was very young...nothing really mattered to me...now that I'm grown.." NRM makes perfect sense as an opener, do people really not see it?

I have never seen anything like it HD

I've changed my mind about the ending after watching this.  We all judged it on the basis of a distanced insta live with people singing over it. Makes total sense to me seeing all the madonnas dance together and interact.  The attitude fits - yeah I did all these amazing things in my career but I'm still that girl.  Bitch.  I'm Madonna! ❤️
(I just hope we all get to see it in full!)

Cut the Bob!
She needs to put that on a T-shirt. I'd buy that merch.

i just heard Alyssa Edwards say "beast! tongue pop"

These takes defending her on late starts have GOT to stop. Enough with this shit already. I’m so mad for the people who went this evening.
She can get there early enough to start the show. 8:30 on the dot. Other acts manage to do it. She’s the only one who seems completely incapable of doing it, and she has zero excuse. There was a time when her shows were far and above more technically advanced than others but that isn’t the case anymore. No other major artist has these regular issues where they have to offer abridged versions of shows because they can’t manage to get on stage on time.
Last night was excusable. The issues in the middle of the show were unfortunate and it was probably hard to adapt in real time.
This on the other hand was avoidable. Don’t use all the cameras if that’s what it comes down to.
Come ON Madonna. The world is ready to give you a chance to redeem yourself with your touring reputation and here you are fucking it up yet AGAIN.

But if your show is 2.5hrs you know you need to start by 8.30 or the crowd don't get the show that you wanted to give and have worked hard to bring to them. 

Then you cut “The Bob” and you instantly get another fifteen minutes. Cmon these are the basics. Everything was working by the time he went on. It’s sloppy. Be real. 
I love her but it’s not on 

Not me having the best Madonna experience in 18 years, leaving here for 8 minutes, coming back and now this. Girls, please.. I ....

But if your show is 2.5hrs you know you need to start by 8.30 or the crowd don't get the show that you wanted to give and have worked hard to bring to them. 

If this is the case and the show was running late you cut a middle sedition .
 
never the end
EVER!
