MarXus reacted to dylanlioncourt in Madame X Tour DVD
I'd be content with some editing (the backdrops to make the moment feel there similar to Confessions) and especially during some performances like IDSIF, Batuka, Crave etc. But I do hope in the softer moments of the show it isn't messed with too much. Her voice in Sodade and others shouldn't be altered way too much because she nailed those performance. I don't mind some stylistic editing in her releases but MDNA and RHT to an extent was almost seizure inducing.

MarXus reacted to TwistedRope in Madame X Revenge: Quarantine Diaries
The amount of people that comment disgusting conspiracy theory things on her posts and wish death upon her is terrifying, what is wrong with these people?! I know she always gets trump idiots bashing her but this seems even more so.
Seems to be tonnes of anti-Gates comments, about him trying to depopulate the world and using vaccines to kill us all But some of the people saying these things even seem to be people who are M fans (if you go on their profile, they have posts about her etc) but they comment saying like ‘that’s it after 30 years I can no longer support you’. Are people really this idiotic?! So troubling.

MarXus reacted to Ian in A Madonna Fart!
oh the other poem dedicated to Melly Mel goes like:
..."way back in the beginning when I started all of my sinnin'
I needed a partner in crime you could say
so I went on a search and started to pray
I walked into my manager's office one morn
I was mouthin' out loud in my usual form
as my eyes toured the room
my poor heart skipped a beat
for there in the corner was the picture of
sweet
she was glued to the phone
she was bathed in pastels
her Lee press-ons were sittin'
they were longer than hell
I turned and I winked and I said "hey miss muffet"
you think you can work for a bitch? can you tough it?
"I'm gaggin no way get me outta this dump!"
I said "hey Freddy find a new fiel to pump"
so the rest is like history , legend, ok?
you wanna hear dish? she don't play it that way
how can I thank you my sweet Melly Mel
you pick up my shit and my undies that smell
you shield me from assholes and take all their calls
you buy me my tampax my rubbers and all
Now you can't count on much in this life I should know
but I guess I got lucky I found me a pro
she still lives in the valley
but her press-ons are gone
she still goes out with jocks
but she sips Dom Perignon
but without you I'm nothin' I'm gagging ,Miss thing
If you ever leave me I'm gonna fucking kill myself"

It's not the last couple of releases she's been doing that. It all started in way back in 2004 with Mr. Akerlund when she hired him to shoot the Re-invention Tour and create the montage used in IGTTYAS. The last real "closer to the truth" live show we got was HBO's production of the Drowned World Tour.
The Confessions Tour DVD, as a project, was amazingly put together but it's still highly edited... And the use of filters is present during the whole thing. They used studio vocal tracks to support several songs (Future Lovers, Sorry, Music Inferno, Lucky Star, and Hung Up) which is really obvious. They just used more echo
Messy editing where several shows are mixed was already present in 1988's Ciao Italia so it's nothing new whether you are satisfied with the final result or not.
I read somewhere that Madonna wasn't happy enough with Mark Aldo Micelli's work on The Girlie Show, I believe it was a letter by fax she sent someone else. So, it's pretty obvious she likes editing her stuff, even when she's not in charge of the whole thing. We should not rewrite history. It's the artist we chose to follow and it's somewhat not fair to judge her choices after all these years.. I've been a fan for 20 years and I'm just happy we got official recordings of everything she ever did.
And let's not pretend we're not going to buy this new concert in its multiple editions
Let's be hopeful Ricardo Gomes is doing a good job with the Madame X Tour film

Vogue at the Sticky & Sweet Tour was the highlight for me. I saw her 2 days after the filming of the DVD in Buenos Aires. It was hot as fuck and I got sick. When she first appeared on stage I thought to myself: so this is Madonna, huh?

MarXus reacted to Rory in Like A Dream
A fan can only be hopeful. I love everything she releases and especially when she self-references past stuff. Like even the nod to posting the Vogue 12" and dubs on her youTube channel. I've been enjoying the quarantine diaries in the meantime.

MarXus reacted to Ian in Billboard: Greatest Pop Star every year : Madonna 1985 and 1989
Greatest Pop Star every year : Madonna 1985 and 1989 !

1985 MADONNA
BY MAURA JOHNSTON
By the end of 1984, Madonna had already established herself as one of the MTV era’s brightest stars, with boundary-pushing videos, underground-nodding dance-pop hits, and a writhing Video Music Awards performance that turned the then-fledgling telecast into a must-watch event. But the year after Like a Virgin’s release was owned by Madonna from back to front -- the last four weeks of the title track’s run at No. 1 on the Hot 100 opened 1985, and she followed it up with smash singles like “Material Girl” and “Angel,” her feature-film debut and first silver-screen starring role, and yet more unavoidable music videos.
“Like a Virgin” hit No. 1 in December 1984 and stayed there until the end of January -- just as her Marilyn Monroe-saluting, Keith Carradine-starring video for “Material Girl” was being added to MTV’s rotation. The bouncy, sardonic track would go on to reach No. 2 and become one of Madonna’s career-defining songs, its video establishing Madonna’s blonde-ambition ideal while also showing off her more down-to-earth side. It also helped Like a Virgin reach the top of the Billboard 200 for three weeks in February, Madonna racked up another career milestone that month, when the May-December drama Vision Quest was released. In the movie, Madonna played a singer at a Spokane bar, performing “Crazy For You,” a lush, Jellybean Benitez-produced ballad that showed off Madonna’s lower range. Madonna’s star power was so strong that in some countries the movie’s title was changed to Crazy For You -- although in America, she had to settle for the soundtrack single being No. 1 on the Hot 100 for a single week in May.
A month later, Madonna appeared in her first starring role in a movie, getting top billing alongside Rosanna Arquette in the hit mistaken-identity comedy Desperately Seeking Susan. The Susan Seidelman-directed ode to New York City’s bohemian enclaves featured the pop star’s “Into the Groove” in the background of a smoky club scene, although it wasn’t on the official soundtrack. At the time of Susan’s release, Madonna had two other videos still in regular rotation on MTV, and because Madonna’s label was worried about over-saturating the market, “Groove” was only released as the B-side to the glittery “Angel,” rendering it ineligible for the Hot 100. But the punchy, commanding song got an accompanying, movie-promoting visual, and became both a channel staple and a signature Madonna hit anyway -- while its “you can dance... for inspiration” koan would later inspire the title for her 1987 remix LP You Can Dance.
In April 1985, Madonna embarked on her first live trek: The Virgin Tour brought Madonna’s vision of pop into arenas around North America, kicking off in Seattle and wrapping up with five shows in New York City -- three at Radio City Music Hall and two at Madison Square Garden. The video for “Dress You Up,” the final single (and fourth straight top 5 hit) from Like a Virgin, used footage of the song’s live performance from the Cobo Center in Detroit, while the home video featuring the show in its entirety, Madonna Live: The Virgin Tour, came out in November.
Even while selling out arenas, Madonna remained a force in the clubs, with “Material Girl” and the double-A-sided “Into the Groove”/”Angel” single hitting No. 1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart after “Like a Virgin” began the year at its summit. She was also a stealth (yet utterly unmistakable) presence on her frequent collaborator Jellybean Benitez’s blippy, freestyle-influenced “Sidewalk Talk,” a No. 1 dance hit and yet another crossover top 40 entry on the Hot 100 by year’s end -- a final testament to Madonna’s first year of true omnipresence.
see 1989 on the Billboard site!

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: MADONNA
In 1984, Madonna climbed out of a cake and into immortality. Her performance of “Like a Virgin” at the first-ever MTV Video Music Awards that September, featuring the 26-year-old writhing on the Radio City Music Hall stage in a long, flowing wedding dress, quickly proved one of pop music’s most iconic national debuts, setting the rising dance-pop singer-songwriter on the path to global superstardom. Both “Like a Virgin” and its parent album of the same name would go on to top the Billboard charts; by the next year, Madonna’s stated ambition “to rule the world” had been fully realized.

also: 2012 COMEBACK OF THE YEAR: MADONNA
Leave it to Madonna to announce her return to pop at the year’s biggest televised event -- the Super Bowl. In February, Madonna, with the help of Cirque du Soleil, LMFAO, Cee Lo Green, and recent collaborators Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., headlined the big game’s halftime show. They debuted the Madge-Minaj-Maya collab “Give Me All Your Luvin,” while reworking hits like “Music” and “Express Yourself” and even courting controversy thanks to M.I.A.’s extended middle finger. That segued into the promotion for Madonna’s 12th album MDNA, an EDM-informed pop fantasia that hit No. 1 in April and set the stage for the set’s ensuing 88-date promotional tour.

Seriously, I can't wait for the day BAT finally gets a DVD/Bluray release...
ALL the fan meltdowns on Madonna forums complaining about the quality:
"But it should have been the other way! It looks so grainy! This is not true UHD 4k
Oh, they used a random photo for the artwork. They fucked it up, didn't they? I'm not gonna spend my money on this shit.
Madonna disappointed me once again. I'm no longer a fan."

Considering peoples uploads of copyrighted material to YouTube are illegal, I dont believe her team lives in the bubble of "everyone has already seen this". Madonna's channel is not just for die Hard fans. Besides, the fact that they even bothered to acknowledge vogue at all is wonderful.

Such a classic that truly never gets old.
The Immaculate Collection version is the definitive version if you ask me.
For the performance, I voted for the Re-Invention Tour. The Super Bowl and the VMA performance are close favorites though!
