Lol, they left shortly before she sang an 80's song. 

My mom and sister were so pissed when she sang like no 80s songs on this tour. They left during Frozen. 

She wants to release it? Five years later? It's definitely not worth it especially considering that show is even more intimate than Madame X and might be subjected to the same editing fate. I do not need a seizure while watching Madonna in a clown costume trying to belt out Take a Bow! Can someone get her a Netflix or Amazon deal or something please? Or another TV network deal so they can intervene and tell her "NO HEADACHE INDUCING FILTERS AND AGGRESSIVE EDITS."

Be prepared for a filters party

I heard that there will be a permanent filter from song 1 to finish: the twins dancing and doing random things.

I think 1963 (the year her mother died) up to 1990 can be done in two hours. Maybe up to 1999 depending, to chronicle Madonna's early beginnings to her rise in notoriety to her first peak of superstardom in 1990 to her slight decline in the 90s to her triumphant "comeback" with Evita, ROL and the Grammys and then have a little blurb at the end explaining what happened next and re-iterating her high position in pop culture.

Nothing clears those lines like a good rub with photo-shop.
Considering how it looked like she was having an iron run over her face....and the results.
She should ask for her money back.

Hey guys, so I shared here a few weeks ago a custom Madonna Monopoly I made in 2012 for a fellow fan-friend: https://madonna-infinity.net/forums/topic/27487-custom-madonna-monopoly-i-made-a-few-years-ago/

I decided to an updated one with her remaining work from 2013-2021, and since 3D printing is now a thing + my designing skills have gotten better with age lol, here is the final result of the updated Madonna Monopoly! 
 
BOARD



TOKENS
- X from Madame X
- Disco Ball from the Confessions Tour

RULEBOOK


 
I had so much fun doing it, I'm especially proud of the tiny 3D printed stages, they look sooo cool and really add another level of fun to the gameplay 

And if you're interested in getting one, message me (:

I think it comes down to money. It was easier for A ha's team/ label (which was also Warner) to shell out some cash to do the 4K remaster because it's their most known song and video. Whereas Madonna has over 50 known songs/videos from 1983-2008 alone. So it's probably more costly to remaster all those videos from the ground up. The least they could do is 4K remaster the biggies (Lucky Star, Like a Virgin, Papa Don't Preach, Open Your Heart, Like a Prayer, Express Yourself, Cherish, Vogue, Ray of Light, Hung Up to name a few) and then upscale the rest for now and call those ones an upscale and not a remaster. I mean Eurythmics did that hybrid updating with their videos.

Did they digitally add masks on them for social distancing?

I think 1963 (the year her mother died) up to 1990 can be done in two hours. Maybe up to 1999 depending, to chronicle Madonna's early beginnings to her rise in notoriety to her first peak of superstardom in 1990 to her slight decline in the 90s to her triumphant "comeback" with Evita, ROL and the Grammys and then have a little blurb at the end explaining what happened next and re-iterating her high position in pop culture.

I know, it looks more or less the same. A bit better but I still had to stare at the screen to notice a difference.

Oh ffs, how hard is to find the master and use that to make a full HD version? 
This is an upscale, the source probably the same as Celebration.

I think it's because regardless on if she's admitting defeat or not, she's catering to her Lambs by giving them #MC30. I personally don't think she's admitting defeat, if anything she's making a change after that whole Stella/ reality show fiasco. She still strives to put out quality music. Caution (which was a step up from The Elusive Chanteuse) got rave reviews but Mariah was like it wasn't good enough and she can do better. Revisiting the past doesn't necessarily mean you're giving up on the present and future. She accomplished a lot in 30 years and she shouldn't be faulted for wanting to acknowledge her past discography. Besides, that Christmas song has permanently engraved Mariah into the past, present and future.

Honestly, I think her disdain of deeply revisiting her past has now reached a point of backfiring. In the politics of women in music, Madonna managed to maintain relevancy chart wise well past the "expiration" years because she still had killer hits and the appeal to back her up. But there was a shift in her public persona that started during MDNA where some of the things she said or did for shock-value or controversy came across as desperate and/or an attempt to keep up with Katy, Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna and Taylor who all blew up in the four years (minus Beyonce) in between HC and MDNA . It's also worth noting that she was 53-54 during that era and was at an age where most artists would've been begun to transition into a legacy act that was more reliant on keeping up long term relevancy by embracing their past and introducing a younger generation to it. But Madonna kept going, kept pushing to stay apart of the present and not be a relic of the past and that kind of backfired. MDNA was kind of an aggressive era and an aggressive Madonna and that probably turned off a whole generation of younger people that she could've won over after the Super Bowl performance. In contrast to her other semi- divorce album, Like a Prayer, Madonna did not seem to handle her divorce to Guy as well as she did the one to Sean and it rubbed people the wrong way. RH and Madame X are better bodies of work but I think she should've done some legacy rebuilding before putting out more material because it's actually painful that those albums only got attention from a fanbase that's clearly running out of patience with her. Madonna unfortunately has to be very careful with her career moves and statements now because certain things she could do and get away with in her 20s, 30s and 40s and barely get away with in her 50s probably won't go down well in her 60s and 70s.

Maybe during the MDNA era when physical sales were still somewhat strong but digital pretty much took over by Rebel Heart so probably only collectors would purchase them from that point on.

I love your comments, steady75.
I wish the Superbowl happened during the Music or Confessions eras.
