  1. Well it's allways the same conversation here, she pleased american people with her superbowl performance, she should have make an effort for european people at the eurovision. these 2 events can't be compared, one is more trendy the other one corny, BUT Eurovision Viewing Figures are twice as the number of the superbowl. So a little effort for her legacy, her casual fan and her back catalogue would have been appreciated.

    Didn't she do that already with The Re-Invention Tour in 2004? I think she would just be repeating herself. That's the magic of Madonna is that she takes her music in new directions and won't do the same things over and over and sell out for commercial success. She's a true artist in that way, and doesn't care what people expect from her. She's at a place now where she can afford to take more risks, whereas in the early part of her career she needed to play it a little more safe. Not many female pop stars are in that position to do what they want, they have to keep listening to the people around them.

    Not really, reinvention tour was not a proper greatest hits tour... but whatever i’m off topic.

    The difference between us is that I do not put people famous or other wise,  in boxes.  I do not try to dictate art or insist that it speak directly to my personal needs each and every time.  There are billions of us on the planet and I respect that truth.  And I don't participate in fan blogs with the purpose of killing the energy or informing people that there heroes are fading.  I thank the powers that be each and every day that M did not stop after The Immaculate Collection.  Madonna is the mother of reinvention and always has been and my journey with her has been magical.  M has grown so much since Lucky Star, Like A Virgin and even Like a Prayer.  Personally, I am far more interested in what M has to say today than what she said in 1985... 86...89.  If I wasn't,  I would not waste my time on a "fan" blog in 2019.  It is a big world, find something that speaks to you but please don't waste your time telling others that our star is falling.

    Sorry if I sounded negative, I really didn't want kill your mood. I'm a huge Madonna fan, and that won't change, she is part of my life and my personal story.

  4. We are 3 longtime madonna's fans: my sister, my best friend and I... every album they are less and less interested by her new music. For madame X it's terrible: they were first totally horrify by Medellin (let's say raggaeton Madonna is not what they expected to), then they watch eurovision (embarassed and bored). When the allum was out, there was not even one song they liked. I tried with god control, a bit of disco doesn't kill anyone, but they really dislike the album. I gave up. I said to them, guys you're not really a fan anymore, but in fact I was wrong, they listen more madonna's old hits than myself. In my case, I allways want Madonna to be praised, but in fact, I don't listen madame X, and even less and less madonna's music (except when I'm drunk or nostalgic or in a special mood). Maybe I'm the one who is becoming less and less fan. That why I really want her to look back and do a greatest hits tour or something for her legacy. Because 10 years without a commercial succes for a superstar like Madonna is too much to handle.

  5. I don't listen Madame X often. but to be fair, I don't listen much music anymore, and when I do it's more dj set, ibiza global radio or a spotify playlist based on the music I shazam (electronic, rock, weird music..). Maybe it's because of my age (I'm 43), maybe I don't really connect with Madonna current work anymore, I don't know, it's weird. Sorry I'm little off topic.

    Well, if she refuses to entertain the crowd, then maybe she should be prepared that her popularity would suffer. One of the reasons why she is the biggest selling female artist is the fact that she is one of the best performers and entertainers of all time, if not the best. She is not known for her political songs and they are not among her best selling singles (= people don't love her  for that). Maybe after almost 40 years she feels like she don't have to pander to Europeans (at ESC) and gays (at pride), but it has its price. At present it seems like Madame X would do better in USA, than EU and I feel like its a consequence of the ESC performance. If the Pride performance alienates the gays, I don't see the point.

    However, I hope its a great performance and she surprises us all. 

    Yes, to quote her she doesn't have the luxuary of time to gain new fans. Actually she's doing the contrary. As someone say I'm not going to throw in my stan card, but I'm a bit disappointing, knowing the quality of her new materials!

    Omg the overreacting here, is just too much, :dead:

    no reason to post every 30 seconds, just get a fucking grip. :rotfl:

    We're talking about a performance at PRIDE here, there's no man's life at stake. And if you question your love for M because of something you haven't seen yet, it says a lot about you. Maybe you shouldn't be here. You all sound like a bunch a spoiled kids.

    I hope her next hashtag will be #notofansdictature

    Sorry but I'm ok with Madonna doing what the fuck she wants, and being all arty and political, but she could, at least, entertained a little bit the people. I'm not sure I rise, future (oh god this song is linked to ESC so much that I hate it) and American Life will please this crowd. I know she's not a pleaser but damn... It's not bad enough that the performance will be short (believe me I was at the Olympia and saw these people being all angry and throw bottles), but if she plays these songs it's gonna be a disaster.

    Maybe you want Madonna for yourself, and if she follows that route, she won't have many fans left.

    Your last quote should be on a Tshirt. I could not have put it better.

    "I fell in love with the greatest entertainer on earth not with Che Guevara" LOL. Love it. Wish I could send it to Madonna. 

    I love her intelligence. Her fearlessness in opining on world events that these other spineless girls wouldn't or do not even know about. Or join the bandwagon after others have spoken but there is a thin line. Why are you singing two songs that have already been released for weeks? Does she want to sell this album and sell out her tour or is her priority more her political messaging? Madonna used to do both. Now she is consumed with rebellion and messaging that it is affecting her artistic choices and her art.

    Twice this year she has been given the opportunity to show the world that she is still pound for pound the greatest but if this rumour is true, just like the first time, instead she is choosing to tell the world that she has lost the plot. The brilliance of the MadameX album reassured everyone that she is still the boss. I fear for this Pride event. I hope she changes that set list. 

    Thanks buddy. But in fact it makes me sad. Being all political and controversial is fucking brillant, and she is the queen for that. But she is less and less entertaining. People wont booing her, but just think she's boring, she lost the plot and move on. Exactly what most of people thought during her ESC performance.
