Exactly the same happens to me, and I will stay in though 🤣

I’m sure she was tired but saw herself in the mirror and decided she looked too hot to stay home.

I agree with almost everything
PSB make their money touring I think I’ve seen them 6 times in the last three records that’s why I think they can  do what their fans ask from them  I wouldn’t consider Super or Electric are typical PSB but if you feel they are that’s ok  
as Madonna fans we are super lucky but that’s were I differ with you we must compare to the artist of their light who are living and producing, Taylor is a kid-teen market, but Beyoncé who hadn’t had a hit in years is dominating the conversation in a way I would love Madonna to do again  
 

Of course Madonna has more records on her, but the b… I mean the queen better speed up.
I’m a PSB regular fan, their four last albums couldn’t be more different among each other, I like them but as everyone they have their creative peaks and valleys 
They have been pretty consistent in quality and regularity of their products 
I love Madame X but I wouldn’t mind a joyous pop song like the ones she churn out, it seems like she has lost the Midas touch to manufacture a great simple hook 🪝 

I think it makes more sense to compare Madonna to her contemporaries who are still recording instead of trying to figure out how she could compete with Taylor Swift, who is in her second imperial phase (I’d question if she has quite the cross-cultural appeal we are led to believe - she benefited from being celebrated in country and successfully crossed over to pop, but she probably doesn’t register in any other genre from what I’ve observed, and she really doesn’t have a hugely memorable back catalog - As Neil Tennant recently asked, “What’s her Billie Jean?”. When the journalist retorted “Shake It Off”, his response was a simple “but is it?”).
 
Pet Shop Boys have released four albums since 2013, have a very loyal fanbase, and the media in the UK always give them a lot of attention when they release anything new. They seem to love making music, and they still follow traditional promotional strategy successfully. They don’t sell anything close to what they did 30 years ago, but they are beloved. No one writes them off as a failed legacy act. If Madonna wants to continue being a pop star/artist,  she can do similarly and still guarantee at least double the interest and sales that they garner. That’s still winning, but it seems the only person who isn’t onboard with this path is Madonna herself! I hope she gives us at least one more season of pop to add to her illustrious career. As the most fascinating popular artist remaining, it would be hard to imagine her going out on Madame X.

MDNA just needs a remaster the songs sounds unfinished and muffled 
The rest are fine ❣️

The QUEEN has left the building
 

But, what is 'relevant' these days - everything that can be done, has been done- it's now just manufactured, marketed and repeated. There's no more ground to be broken -so relevancy is within the individual now , not the music they create or the chart success they garner.
 

Finally: A TRUE MEXICAN SUPERSTAR!!!! 👸🏻🇲🇽👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Salma Hayek mi paisana de Veracruz!!! 😍😍😍

Unexpected surprise

There's a forum in which I use to download shows, mv, live albums, instrumentals etc. The people there do an amazing work and I'm sure someone will rip the concert and share it there.
Not sure if I can say the name, so here goes the hidden link:

won't the vocals be polished in the final edit anyway, like they usually are?

The GP now is so basic, I don’t care if she’s not relevant to them. But I would say 4 minutes is the last time she was internationally relevant. 

I think this is all absurd. Madonna is still very relevant in 2024. How many billions of people are there on the planet? How many have Madonna’s stature, level of recognizability, visibility, accomplishment, and influence? Even if you are looking at it from a point of view of commercialism, she is on the verge of finishing a sold out 81-date tour of Europe, America, Mexico and Brazil. She’s about to perform for the largest audience of her entire career, an event that will garner more press than nearly any other artist’s single concert would. When she was near death last year it made the news globally. Everything Madonna does gets attention. She has influenced practically every popular artist, visual and musical, out there. Her name comes up all the time. The right wing conservatives and MAGAs always have something to say about her…That she’s a has-been or pathetic and desperate, or the devil incarnate. They’re still talking about her! Her music is ubiquitous. She is the 80th most streamed artist in the world on Spotify, 40 years into her recording career.
 
Madonna IS RELEVANT. She just isn’t a contemporary phenomenon any longer. She isn’t young. She’s not interested in participating in the modern fame game. She could literally be on the cover of any magazine of her choosing, appear on any talk show, the cover of newspapers. Everyone would kill to interview her; even Piers Morgan. 

Madonna was seen eating street tacos 
 
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes and with multiple 'split alter egos' following within the next days/weeks... Welcome back to pages and pages of non sense and meaningless chats between the same user under different accounts... Watch it begin slowly the first days then evolving to the same mess as previously...

Oh please no.... The forum is back to the 4th dimension again... 

There are a lot of considerations in this. I think folk would instinctively use 'relevant' to mean 'doing really well in the charts' but the charts have become less and less relevant and I don't think most folk pay much attention to them. Music is also far more fragmented than ever before and even with big stars like Taylor and Beyonce, loads of the 'general public' barely know their music aside from big hits from years ago. Neil Tennant from Pet Shop Boys was speaking the other day and was asked about Taylor Swift and said he always found himself wondering 'what's Taylor Swift's Billie Jean?' which I think is saying basically this.
Madonna will always be 'relevant' cos she's one of the last of the megastars from an era where they just totally dominated culture and had a string of hits that were impossible to avoid. Folk know who she is, even if they don't actively listen to her. But in a more prosaic sense of relevancy the tour definitely helped - she was all over the UK media when the tour started here and the lunchtime magazine show This Morning had a whole episode dedicated to her the day before it kicked off.

I love how at 65 she can convincingly recapture herself at 25 or 40 without looking absurd or caricatural.
