I love love love Dark Ballet!!!! It's so good that I almost wish it was longer!

What did she write under Guy’s post? I don’t remember. “Do you remember when I used to...?”

I find it funny because the "fixed" version is NOT that far off from the original at all. Is doing Eurovision usually a one time thing for most artists?
I hope so, watching some of the other performances from Sat was absolutely atrocious. That has to be the stupidest, tackiest crock of shit I've ever witnessed. They should be glad Madonna (off vocals and all) brought SOMETHING to that vapid shitfest. Horrible.
And yes, the ones on Saturday that reacted like the sky was falling can all STILL FUCK OFF! Overreaction any way you slice it.

Quavo is doing a really good job on this track. It would be great if you could make an extended version of Future. It is such a cool song!
-
It was such a great and powerful show with a strong message of peace and love and hope and amazing visuals!!! "A celebration of love, life and humanity"!
As for the ongoing controversy about the live vocals of Like A Prayer, it's time to give it break! She has beautifully sung Like a Prayer live hundreds of times during her career. She has nothing to prove. She's obviously able to sing it even better than what people can now hear on her Vevo channel video.
Shit happens to everyone. She's been up there doing her thing for 35 years contributing to changing the music world and our society for the better. What about those who are once again putting her up on the cross? What have they done?
Like someone else already pointed, haters gonna hate, that's the only thing they are able to do from the safety and complacency of their keyboards and touchscreens.
WAKE UP! ....oh and of course, NOT EVERYONE is coming to the future! She's GOLD and she's FIRE!

I can’t believe the amount of shit this woman takes. So what if a small part of Like A Prayer was out of tune.
The things I’ve read online about how she should retire, give up etc makes my blood boil.
Pure ageism and misogyny.

I do not think the problem was her voice in this instance, rather the in house monitoring that probably failed. I've re-watched the Met Gala and that was note perfect from beginning to end. It seemed as if she couldn't hear herself and tried valiantly to get through it. You can see she is not happy but still she carries on like the brave warrior she is.
I think people forget that she wrote the song, so she has a good idea what notes to sing.
Thank you! It’s time to get over it!

^^ from other thread. I agree with almost everything. Quavo did not bother me anyway.
Unfortunately for you and Jebi and others she is not a performing monkey who was put on earth to satisfy your needs and expectations or abide by your standards of what an artist should or shouldn’t do in front of 200 million people.
She does what she wants and it is HER career and no one else’s. Take it or leave it!

You might like the performance or not, which is okay, but if you pay attention to what's beneath the criticism, it's rather transparent that it has nothing to do with her singing abilities, but with the fact that some people just can't cope with her still being around. Madonna has not based her entire career on having amazing control over her voice: she's not what you can call a vocalist. She's much more than that. I could understand it if someone like, let's say, Celine Dion had a somewhat poor vocal performance, given that her great voice is basically what she has to offer (with all due respect to her amazing, amazing voice), I could understand the meltdown, the criticism, the fear. But we are talking about Madonna, who is a far superior performer and a totally different animal. Would anybody have said that Bob Dylan's career or David Bowie's career or John Lennon's career were over after a not-so-brilliant vocal delivery? Would anybody have limited their contributions to music to just a nice singing voice? That is blatantly trying to diminish her talents and downplay her impact on music and culture.
Social media is, in a way, a celebration of simplistic thinking and reductivism (look it up). Do you imagine what would have happened had social media existed at the times of Frida Khalo or Picasso? "Damm, man, that dude can't get a damn nose straight. He can't get no eyes in the right place. My 6 year-old-boy can do better than that". Or... "And she thinks she can paint, she can't even get proportions right, man, no doubt she can't even fix her own eyebrows". What would they have said about Egon Schiele or Man Ray or Oscar Wilde or Virginia Woolf? Guess what? They would have torn them to shreds because they wouldn't have been able to understand them. Nor do they understand Madonna, simple as that.
In the end, our generation is not ready for a woman like Madonna. Wait thirty or forty years and we'll see what happens then. They will celebrate her then. Meanwhile, they're too busy now complaining about the fact that —oh, surprise—, she's a human being and somehow imperfect. Her voice can fail, what a scandal!
I think that if a provocateur can get people so polarized and so galvanized just for not being perfect, he or she might be doing something right. I'm certain Madonna is.
Thank God for your intelligence and constructive contribution to this discussion! I loved it and it moved me!
I’m with you

Those who were expecting her to capitalize on the exposure to promote her current single and her upcoming album, you are so naive!
Madonna has proved the kind of ARTIST that she is. Yes, she could have performed Medellin. That would have been the easy route, but she’s not that. She’s the one to take the road less traveled by.
Instead, she used that platform to spread a message of love, unity and compassion and Like a Prayer, Dark Ballet and Future just happened to be the perfect platform to get the message across. The opportunity was too important, too big, too precious to let it pass by. She went and did exactly that!
Thank God she was not perfect during Like a Prayer. Once again she’s putting herself up on that cross for public ludicrium, harassment and abuse but while this happens the discussion is open and some people are starting to understand the real intention behind the performance.
It was not about proving that she is the Queen - no need for that, she has 35 years of proof and evidence. It was about giving a contribution to making this world a better place. We have a lot to learn from this. It’s true, the storm is inside of us, the battleground is within us and it is up to each and every one of us to work on ourselves in order to wake up, learn from the past, open our minds, open our eyes and propel ourselves into the FUTURE, which is NOT recreating the past as it has been happening. This is what Future is all about.
I’M FUCKING PROUD OF HER!

Saw the performance. It wasn’t a career killer, but it wasn’t her best performance.
The media and haters can try to cancel her as much as they want, but this is one fight that they will lose.
It’s over and done with. We just need to move on.
Yeah!!! They will always lose that fight!

She certainly didn't her career but in my opinion she didn't remind the world who she is I'm so sad. Hahaha
Does she have to? She’s still here and still doing her thing. She’s not here to remind anyone of anything.

The performance was fine. Nothing grand but nothing bad. Yet everyone on here is acting as if she killed her entire career.

Madonna is not going to be busting out dance moves like 1990!
Her vocals throughout her career live have been consistent. Like a Prayer Blond Ambition vocals are equal to this euro performance, so I find the meltdowns ludicrous.
Madonna is about the message!!!!!
"I know I'm not the greatest singer, dancer, but that's not what I'm interested in, I'm interested in pushing peoples buttons".....to papaphrase her.
This! 10000000000+

Kudos to the one and only Queen!
She had a couple shaky moments during LAP, it’s true, but overall she did good.
She was there with body, emotion and heart and she felt it all.
She’s not a robot and the fact that after so many years she can still be caught up with her emotions is proof of the fact that she is a true artist!
There is no one like her! The visuals were absolutely amazing and breathtaking!

I actually thought she sounded strong and clearly LIVE on LAP. I mean, what do people actually expect?
Future and the DB moment down the stairs was great.
Twitter is coordinated to attack her for this now, have you not seen the articles where she is a whore for performing in Israel. The negativity will always be louder. Don't bring it here.

Thank you, I know for some this can be hard to grasp but it’s true.
Haven’t seen the performance yet, but with M I’ve learned not to look her up on social media searches. She’ll get shit for anything. I appreciate a pop star who still gets nervous, it shows she’s not a robot.
