And that's it? I waited for so long, what a disappointment!

 

We're probably gonna get crucified but same. She looked amazing, but I was a little underwhelmed. Vocals weren't that great even with nervous or whatever, and Nothing Compares 2 U went on too long. When Doves Cry would've been a good metaphorical choice.

Twitter is destroying her tbh. Seems to be the same silly "opinions" from the same silly people. 

 

I can't believe people actually wanted some kind of high energy extravaganza. People's taste levels on the floor at this time.

I think it's one of the best things she's ever done live. Nothing Compares 2 U has a special place in my heart since I love Sinéad O'Connor so I already knew Prince was the original writer. Madonna gave us a hint some weeks ago when she posted some lyrics on Instagram/Facebook. That was the first time I realised Prince version said "13 days" and not "15 days" like it's known worldly.

 

I loved the entire thing, I did not care if she reused some past elements like the backdrop or the throne and cane... She couldn't do it any better, Prince was a friend of her despite some fallouts throughout the years, the pic where they were hugging each other says it all. 

 

Again, I loved it til death and had me singing all the time! Very good Madonna  :hug:

It was amazing, she was singing the most accurate and emotional song for Prince and she did well to not choose any funky song. Smart, correct, respectful, she was in her world, she didn't tried to be Prince, squealing or dancing like him  :jamming:  (altough she couldn't do it, let's be honest).

On the other hand she also chose a song that takes some serious vocal chops to sing....which also isnt her strong suit.

 

I could have actually pictured M doing one of his upbeat tracks (ie: Let's Go Crazy) in honor of him and to help lift everyones spirits - she could have invited a popular guitarist to join (maybe one from one of Prince's many bands) and also have Sheila E join to do percussion.

The intro to lets go crazy would have been perfect (and she would agree since she used it) and she could have just told people to get out of their seats and celebrate a genius. boom! and I can picture her singing that track perfectly.

Some of you will never be pleased...  Prince was her friend and PEER, not her idol.  What she chose was appropriate to how she felt about him, unlike the way she grew up listening to David Bowie records etc.  I don't think she could have chosen any other song.

I think her new album will be her best since American Life, right now she has issues to talk about like this whole Rocco drama, and now being the last icon of her generation alive, watched her friends and inspirations die (Bowie and Prince). She's angry and she's sad, she's coming for blood :drama:
