The last tour was largely formed with pre-recorded vocals that were lip synched to. It wasn't even a case of singing over a backing track on many songs, it''s clear from every audio of the Madame X tour that the show was very heavy on playback with some songs featuring live vocals and some songs not featuring any at all. Absolute pile of crap musically. Imagine doing a theatre show with no genuine live instruments, and bringing a brilliant choir on tour with you that don't have their mics switched on. Dreadful. I pretend that tour doesn't exist.
 
For me I got Open Your Heart, Who's That Girl and Ghostown. We almost got Secret but M had banged her head under the stage and couldn't play the guitar 🧐
To be fair I don't think you need to go to any show to hear that her voice isn't superb. However for me she sounds better than she did on MDNA and Sticky when you can actually hear her.
Her voice hasn't been in great shape since 2004. 
She sounds passable at best, which is fine, shes 65 and dancing.
No he shouldn't. He isn't wrong.

Ah, and now it seems to have been the tour date with the hardest to sell tickets. Maybe M is just too hot for the Minnesotans...

Rain on some shows sounds even worse than this... But is it me or does it not work at all with the outfit? Like the section is weird with Take a Bow... It doesn't look right 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought Frozen was the best fit, just not with the silly RoboMadge chorus that sounded like it was hot in 2008.

While BAT showed far more skill in choreography, WTG is the best she's ever moved in my opinion, raw, firey, full of energy and with serious stamina.

To be fair though, the Gaga fans of 2012 behaved very differently to the Gaga fans of 2024.
Oh no. The Celebration Tour was probably my favourite concert I've ever been to (well, except Springsteen) but I'm not going to deny that Tina Turner was the best thing ever to hit a stage. Literally that woman had everything in bucket loads. While Madonna is amazing in concert, Tina was in a league of her own... Somebody completely unmatched.
That's my opinion of course
(And before anyone jumps on me, just no, I've literally said nothing negative about M)...

She thanked Cleveland though? Am I missing something? It was her Facebook story yesterday

You really have a hearing problem my friend. Have you watched both video's? In the second one she's just as loud as always... And it's not the first time she's in time with the backing vocals. 
Can you stop make every single discussion on here into a negative one. 
And tbh there are LOTS of Nothing Really Matters performances this tour where she sounds fine so i have really no idea what the **** you are talking about... Are there some with timing issues YES... is it on almost every performance NO... 
 
 

I wish she had incorporated a brief segue of Dance 2Night somewhere, maybe between one of the Boxing section songs.

I could hear live vocals in Stockholm, but nothing as clear as this. Yeah it doesn't sound that good, but it sounds 100% better than I would have expected Everybody to sound live in 2024. To be fair her mic sounds super scratchy and I don't think that helps. Into The Groove sounds much more live than normal also, normally its mostly track with a low in the mix mic. Into The Groove actually sounds better than the nights she sang it live on Sticky!
Absolutely 

I always thought "Everybody"  was lipped, but she sings the verses live here ( yeah yeah, over a backing track, but since there is no band with background vocalists, she needs those backing tracks ) she's out of breath but she's dancing so .. 
 

So, most Vogue performances sound nothing like in the Antwerp shows. Sure. I'm happy to do a post in that thread when I get time to think.

Well, the original vocals are pre-recorded vocals as they're not being performed live...
But I think I you mean Re-Recorded vocals, aka Pre-Recorded Live Vocals. Yes some songs do!
The ones I can think of at the moment are:
Into The Groove, it's a 50/50 mix between playback and live singing, if not actually louder playback generally than live singing in the mix on most shows.
Holiday has pre-recorded live vocals in there, especially those autotune sounding 'holidaaaays' at the end which I'm pretty sure are mimed and not even mixed live.
Vogue is a pre-recorded live vocal for the most part. You can tell she's singing live along with it, but the lead vocal in the performance is never her live mic, and you can tell in person and on videos that her mouth and expressions don't match the sound at all.
 
 
 

That isn't being a fan, that's being obsessive and it's unhealthy..being a fan is appreciating her art. Some here it's almost creepy as they're beyond obsessed. If you spend so much of your time defending a woman you don't know to obsessive level, and can't tolerate the varying options of others that isn't healthy... It's actually pretty pathetic and certainly pretty sad.

To be fair, some fans are way too emotionally invested in her and feel the need to defend a woman who doesn't even know they're alive.

You feel sorry for her?
 
This has absolutely nothing to do with her 'problems'. She's been doing it for over a decade, its a total dick move. Virtually every other artist manages to be on time on average.
As much as I love the show, and I was quite happy with a late starting show as I had hotels booked, I hope she loses the lawsuit and it has an impact on her behaviour moving forward, or Live Nation comes down hard on her. It's not fair that people are not able to see a full show they've paid hundreds to see because M wants to start half an hour before the last trains. It's a joke. It doesn't affect her but it affects the audience and it's entirely disrespectful.

Really pleased you liked it! It really is her best tour!
