Right?!
She doesn't even change the 10 minutes long monologues... All that "I want to do something different blablabla" was pure lip service as this show is just as tight, relying on screems and with the same rehearsal "jokes" with people who have money to give her, only this time is in a small place 

She wasn’t out of the spotlight at all between Girlie Show and Drowned World. In between she had 3 successful studio albums, Evita, awards, performances... For me the worst hiatus time was between Hard candy and MDNA... but I get your point about touring.
I don’t expect a tour soon again, but what about shaking a little the tired formula of waiting to have a tour ready in order to have an album? Maybe she can record more music in one year, perform here and there on open festivals or shows... the time is not doing her favours anymore. Also she can start to work with different collaborators, new coreographers... someone professional that can tell her how to use her body in a different way instead of trying to force the machine to achieve what she did in 2008-2012. I was suffering when I saw her dancing ‘I don’t search I find’ on that clip that she posted the other day... 

Always someone from her entourage since 2010, everyone licking her ass... No wonder why sometimes she behaves they way she does lately. I don't want to be rude, I admire her, but I don't think that being surrounded always by the same people and mixing relationships with money and work is good for anyone. 

Confessions was the definitive Madonna album of the 2000's.  #truth.

Can they apply filters to the face on every angle though?

I'm totally convinced that the knee injury is the result of her booty surgery. She have lost her grace and harmony in dancing. It's completely out of proportion with her body. Now that she come back in shape it's more evident than ever.

She hates doing this tour. Expect it to be cancelled soon.

Yes. Even her hardcore fans are fed up. It’s not looking good. They either need to make major changes or take a long break from touring.

Madonna needs to put her phone away on show nights.

What does having an opinion on something Madonna related on a pop music forum, have anything to do with climate change or whatever else? lol
People overly defending her and overly attacking her are both doing way too much. She's late, some people don't like it and they have every right not to - others don't mind. It is what it is. Not unimportant and not the end of the world. 

I understand where you're coming from @truerebel, however:
 
I live in Brazil where the concert ticket price alone would be around $2,000 BRL + travel costs, hotel, food would result in anything aroung $8-10,000 BRL, in a country where the monthly minimal wage is $1,000.
I got really upset when the news broke that she would ban phones from the Madame X, because yet again I felt left out, I'm sure other South American members of Infinity felt the same, we did not have the opportunity to go see RHT live and the majority of other tours, so please, don't just say "JUST GO SEE LIVE IN PERSON" because that's not possible for most people.
I don't get why she doesn't come here, São Paulo has an amazing theater, plus, she has a song in f****** portuguese!
I say all that with all the love, ok? Just sharing another point of view.

Im not loving this show from this - too much backing tracks yet again - I was hoping for more live sounds ?

I was going to post this just now

I THINK THIS TOO!
This reminds me of the L.A. scene in Truth or Dare! So many big named people in Hollywood coming to see Madonna but Madonna never licked their booty etc.
Now it's 2019 and it's the other way around. Featuring those Cardayshauns so much... not sure what she's trying to achieve or gain but she can def do without them. I mean it's nice they were all neighbors etc, but M seems to use them for some attention. It's good and bad I guess. Meh.

I adore Madonna. But Kate Bush did it in 2014 with Before The Dawn.

I love the excuses people will make for her in order to defend her. They sure as hell wouldn't cut other people slack but since it's the Queen, it's excusable, she's been doing it since [insert tour name here], you're not a real fan, you waited all night what's another hour or two? Fine, you'll wait for her but the general public won't and to a degree she needs more besides her fans who will defend her no matter what to keep on touring and making this investments on her feasible. But you're right, we should just let her do what she wants because she's a Queen.  (eyeroll) 

I hope more and more people do this she really needs a kick up the ass and change this Diva attitude 

This tour will be probably the last one ?
the next tour will be in her house only with her and her crew

So bored of people trying to justify why she is so bloody late.. read in a interview that she wakes up at 11:00 and goes to bed at 4.00 am. she just needs to get a normal routine go to bed at 23:00 and wake up at 7:00.

Her time is no more and no less valuable than everyone else. For her to take the stage whenever she feels "ready" is of utmost disrespect to all parties involved. She's causing much anxiety by having paid audiences plan and adjust THEIR lives around HER, and to add insult to injury; has the audacity to bitch at those who decide to leave early??? Her behavior of late is simply puzzling and there is zero justification!

It's not petty. They're the other leading females in music on stage today. 
It's a very fair comparison, and it aids my point well. 
 
Comparing their record sales or physical appearances/abilities would be cruel. 
 
Current touring standards? Not so.
