Hmmm
I like its eccentricity. It feels like a tour demo to me - like it needs a visual to go with it. This is first listen though. 10 listens down the line and I'm sure I'll feel differently. Enjoying it though. That synthy bom-bom-bom-bom moment at 2.02 is sublime.

They kept my favourite bit! 'You're risking everything'

Where is the chat?
Going at 100 mph next to the video screen on YouTube!

I've got a headache trying to read the chat - what a rubbish way to do it!

I love that part too...typical “yeah, no shit” Madonna face. Though I do agree that it seemed a TINY BIT OFF. I liked it but it did feel off!
For me it was the bit that was the most ON!
Haha. Each to their own! We'll see shortly whether it made it through anyway!

What? This part was totally off and didn’t fit the song lol
surprised some of you liked it. Anyways, where is the Q and A? It starts in 45 minutes. She says it’s in her stories but I’m not seeing it.
It totally resonated for me and clearly some others too! But we all see what our eyes want to see, I guess...

I saw the video when it was uploaded by accident and my favourite bit was so subtle - I hope it stayed in the edit.
When Swae says (the first time) "It's on the line girl you're risking everything" - M does this knowing vulnerable look as if to say "No shit, Sherlock". It's very sweet but it's blink and you miss it. I hope it's still in there!

Vulnerabledonna can't be beat.
This is how I'm maaaaade is my favourite bit too! That voice

Yeah but it works both ways. Why is the "self-appointed ambassador to Israel" the propagandist and billionaire Sylvan Adams who's paying Madonna, even anywhere near the supposed apolitical Eurovision?
Why does any group call for action against human rights abuses? Did you disagree with the calls to boycott Brunei-owned hotels after the gay death penalty announcement for example?
On a lighter note, of course at its base Eurovision is political. You can hear the groans in the audience every year with the same old countries giving the same old scores to their pals no matter how good or shit the song is.
Anyway, I'm glad Madonna has made a statement and I hope she DOES take a political stand on stage, as any "freedom fighter" would.
It's SO political when it comes to how they vote. It's painfully obvious.
I was hoping she would pull out but it looks like that is not happening so I'll deal with. I'm glad she has made the statement and it sounds to me like she is planning to take a stand. I just hope it's on point, because to a lot of people this just plays into the idea that she is a cold calculating businesswoman who puts promotion and money-making before all else. I like to think that is not the case.

There is always two sides in a conflict. And what would be the benefit to Palestinians or anyone else if she doesn't perform? Or if Eurovision doesn't take place? Its another absurd of the ultra left (and I m leftist) and I do not see the logic in this boycott. Eurovision has taken place since the 50ties including couple of times in Israel and other European or Eurasian countries with debatable policies. Its not a political show.
It's not a political show if you avoid how the voting works!

On the other hand the statement shows that she is using her platform to address the issue and urge diplomatic measures to ensure peace and stability in the region. Simply boycotting it doesn't make the problems go away either. Sometimes you have to place yourself in the middle of the entire circus to draw attention to the issue at hand! I understand it's a double edged sword from which she is also gaining financially and in a promotional sense, but she has always used her time spent in Israel to address issues and a call for peace and diplomatic action and an end to violence!
I get that for sure. She is saying she is using her platform to address these issues and of course that's a noble thing, but it has stuck in my throat a little if I'm honest. It's just how I feel about it. I'm conflicted. I don't think boycotting it or calling her an apartheid apologist is helpful in the slightest and nothing is ever that simple. But I can see why she is being targeted for this criticism over the actual contestants on the show.

Exactly. Over 40ty participants from almost all European countries are doing it. I dont see the outrage in that regard. Hypocritical much?
To be fair, as far we know the other 40 participants haven't built a career on calling themselves humanitarians and freedom fighters who always stand up for the under-dog. It is a bit icky to say the least.

Hahaha I felt SO disappointed when that's what it was. I mean wasn't the huge screens saying Madonna enough
I quite enjoyed how it just ended and they walked off, haha. Very funny.

If it's a no she better have some amazing European promo up her sleeve.
I also thought she'd do Eurovision and Graham Norton soonish. But I've heard nothing about any talk shows
You mean better than the Vogue flash-mob today?
Hard to top
-
She has never said personally she is doing this has she?
Neither has her team?
Maybe it's actually been BS from the get go.
I'd prefer she didn't do it personally. I guess we'll find out soon enough!

Oh it's a Vogue flash mob outside the Palladium haha
-
Why is there a Madame X London thread that I'm not allowed to view?
And I wouldn't worry about going off topic when there's nowhere else to discuss it!
-
Just read the Vogue interview and the way the interviewer describes the sound and themes of the album is completely different to the 3 tracks we've heard so far. I think we're in for some surprises when we hear Madame X in full!

Why would they be over...?
I just get the impression she's moved on from heavy choreography and anything too influenced by Egyptian culture would probably be attacked for cultural appropriation!
-
There was a time I'd have said that Madame X in the Sphinx remix could form the basis of a cool Egyptian-tinged section of the next tour! I think those days are over now but it's a nice fantasy!

So happy to see such love for Crave here. It's a brilliant song.
