I mean to be fair she's had 40 years of reports of people behind the scenes that have said she's pretty unpleasant. Other celebrities of equal stardom saying she's rude. Multiple interviews where she is unpleasant. Multiple accounts from former co-stars on screen. Multiple concert videos where she is rude to her audiencd. Various documented poor interactions with fans. I've literally stood 6ft from her crew saying she isn't particularly pleasant at times. It's true she isn't a nice person, there is far too much evidence to ever argue otherwise
That doesn't detract from my admiration for her as an artist and performer but I don't doubt for a second that she is a horrible person to those around her and whom she seems beneath her.

Well my dear friend (it's been a while!), we all know she's a pretty rotten human being when it comes to her attitude and general personality. I just find the best way to admire her is to admire her artistry and performance but not to admire her as a human being because she just isn't a likeable person. Although I believe she has admirable political stances her overall contempt towards her fans and crew tells me shes a seriously horrible person and there's nothing admirable about that. The guy who films near the B stage was talking to fans in Stockholm about how she isn't nice to be around if there is a problem.
But she's Madonna, I guess she doesn't have to be a nice person.

I mean seriously, she's acting like an absolute nobhead here.
Exactly. It's really odd.

No you don't.
I arrived about 4pm for the Stockholm show with a gold circle ticket, literally walked to the front row when the gates opened, I didn't have to run and people were walking in half an hour later and people were still getting first or second row.
 
Having to queue to get the front row of a Madonna concert is just not the case anymore. She doesn't have the young audience anymore.

Same in Copenhagen! Arrived at 7pm, without queue and…first row for my pleasure taken… Copenhagen all time for Madonna’s concert!

No you don't.

The quality of the posts on this forum has deteriorated beyond redemption.

don't be a damn fool my friend, she is replacing it with One More Chance, and she will sing it in every key all at once just like Take a Bow.

While I doubt it, I think it would be a brilliant way to go out on top.

Don't know who did this but potential DVD-Blu-Ray cover if she sees it xd

The sound board operatives really should ramp up the pitch correction on that one and shift her up half a semi-tone.

I adore this tour. I've been to four shows, and each time, I appreciated it more.
But the finale just doesn't do it for me. I haven't enjoyed it once, not live and not on YouTube. The concept of all the dancers donning Madonna's iconic costumes is great for a "celebration". The problem is the performance falls flat both musically and visually: the transition from BIM to Celebration is jarring, like something out of a holiday resort show. She could have opted for a longer break and started Celebration/Music from the beginning rather than midway through the song, in a way that feels less thrown together. It feels like an afterthought, akin to a holiday resort show or a mid to low-tier TV show farewell to a guest, looks like it wasn't Madonna's idea but a unexpected decision by the TV show directors. Looks uninspired.
Madonna's outfits and the choreography also miss the mark.
I wasn't a fan of the LAV/BJ interlude either. It seems like it's setting up a new section, but it's a weak start that fails to build tension—it's a filler interlude that seems to say "he's the king and I'm the queen" with a rather poor mashup, without blending the songs well. Could she not have mixed LAV and Billie Jean like she did in the Virgin Tour?
So, I'm really not a fan of the entire end of the concert. It's a conceptual show where everything is so well thought out, but the finale feels randomly tacked on and doesn't provide a conceptually original conclusion to her "narrative".
If she had just performed Celebration in full, with the same choreography and energy as her performance at Pride, maybe with some fresher visual ideas (even just playing with the costumes a bit), it would have been an improvement. Everyone I've seen the concert with felt the same way. My ex boyfriend in SF, who listens to her because I'm a fan but isn't as big a fan himself, was actually quite bored and yawning through it.
I think it's the worst ending in her career

I mean they don't all do playback, Ms Minogue is entirely live in every concert. She will have a backing track on some choruses or for depth  but it's never ever that loud. Taylor I have no idea as she doesn't even register with my music tastes, but I do admire her.
Let's just be glad she isn't doing a Dolly and miming her entire concert.

Iiiiiiiiiiii don't synch... I mimmee..

 
And on a serious note, we all know the show is mostly live. Vocal quality variable show to show. Early USA and last London shows her voice was bad. She sounded great in Los Angeles, and the first few London shows. It's Madonna, she's an entertainer but we all know no vocalist.
Peace out M fans.

I didn’t realise this forum, a place I love and with people I thought I respected, is actually full of frankly shit attempts at human beings.
