I have to admit rumours suggest that Australia will be on the list time around but the same rumours were around for MDNAT too. Until I see an official announcement I will continue to be skeptical.
Regarding the preference for a "Greatest Hits" tour for the Aus market, I really don't give a shit. I'd be happy if she performed the entire RH album and that was all!
-
I honestly dont really care if she comes here or not, its more important that they are clear and honest up front. Last 2 tours they said she would come so I just waited instead of just going overseas to see her. then they cancel. they need to jsut say "she's not coming, book your flights".
it woudl be rather awesome for her to start the tour here, but that does mean that we woudl be flooded with visitors (who we love, but we would squeezed out).
As I've said in other threads, I don't believe she will come. It doesn't really bother me anymore because I just accept she isn't going to bother with Australia. I was hoping to travel again this year, so a tour might be a good excuse to do it. Last time I went O/S was for S&S. Hopefully they just release the entire itinerary straight up to avoid the anguish. More than happy to be proven wrong though.

^ That was nice of her to say. I appreciate self depreciating humor.

I have noticed now just how many other women in the public eye are applauding Madonna and complaining about people talking about her age etc. Gretel Killeen and Myf Warhurst - Australian reporters and presenters - have both recently talked about how inspirational Madonna is to all women of every age. Gretel just commented that she can't believe that people are talking about Madonna's fall like - poor Madonna, she is 56. Said she is a trouper, should be admired and age is no issue. Plus so many people are referring to how everyone was looking forward to seeing her at the Brit awards than any other artist. . I predict we will see far more women feeling this way, speaking out and yet again Madonna is changing perceptions. She not only opens the door for so many others, but shatters it right open. Such a Queen of life in every way.
Sadly I think the women who will benefit most from what she is doing now (ie. women in their 20's) are the ones being the most bitchy about her. I find it amazing how so many females give her crap yet she opened the door for so many of them and continues to do so. Yet they will blindly worship people like Kim Kardashian. I don't think she'll ever get the recognition she truly deserves which truly makes me sad.

It was terrible what happened but I'm sorry this is hilarious:

You know people make fun of her and call her bad names and all that shit but honestly what the fuck have they done with their pathetic lives? They spend their time hating on a person who's achieved more in 5 mins then they have in their entire lives. If the only satisfaction they get in life is talking shit on the internet then goo on em. Pretty sure Madonna is going to keep being a fucking badass regardless of what some stupid cunt in some pathetic podunk town says about her.
-
Aside from the fall the performance was a big improvements than the Grammys. The costume was a lot better and had it not been for the fall I think her voice would've been strong too.
-
No I don't really like them. I've seen 2 shows that used the round stage and the view was pretty terrible. Plus you end up staring at the artist's back for half the time.
-
I was surprised to see that old topic raise its head yet again in here, but couldn't resist responding to others' posts (I should have, though!). I think it's inevitable that any discussion of potential destinations is going to include a discussion of Australia, but yes, it would be wise to ignore history in here to keep the thread positive, agreed!
No one is being negative at this point. I'm simply pointing out that it is unlikely that she will tour Australia or in fact tour anywhere differently from the last 5 tours. It will be US/EU and maybe S America OR Japan. I'm more than happy to be proven wrong though.
-
how is the dollar in australia? the economy etc? i hope she breaks this tour in two parts, this year, another next year!
It has nothing to do with the dollar because during MDNAT the AUD was trading higher than the USD I believe or it was almost at parity. The dollar excuse came about during DWT when it was $1.00AUD/$0.65USD. During RIT it was because the children were too young. During CT it was because we didn't have stadiums to support the "tonnage" of her stage. I don't believe S&S had an excuse, especially since most people expected the second leg to include Australia. She trolled us hard though when she released the itinerary and it was mainly the same markets she toured on the first leg. I believe this was when she gave us the written statement apologising for not coming and that she would definitely come on the next tour. For MDNAT it was because Lola was leaving home and going off to college so she wanted to spend time with her. That time we got the recorded message saying she was sorry but her children come first etc.
I think the reason she doesn't want to come here is because she'd have to do a lot of shows for the tour to make money like she does in the U.S./EU. Australia is bigger than the entire European continent and only has a few cities really worth playing in. She'd realistically need to spend 2-3 weeks here playing shows and I just don't see that being worth her time sadly.
-
I find it funny we still debate which cities she will tour. She will tour the same ones she has for the past 5 tours with maybe a few small changes. Unless she tours Australia first I doubt she'll come here. They might pull another MDNAT and "plan" to come but ultimately pull out at the last minute. I can't imagine a second leg either really. She's only done that once and she's said many times she doesn't like being on the road for that long.

Just got a notification "Single of the week from a pop legend" and it turned out to be Iconic from Madonna.
I took a screenshot but I don't know how to upload it.
-
Interesting choices. Can see maybe where some of the inspiration came from for some of the tracks.

Anyone else subscribed? Do we think she curated this list herself? Some good tracks/new finds on there for me!
-
I have to say, in the context of the whole album, the track is pretty good. I definitely needed to warm up to it. With the video and Grammy performance I feel like it could possibly be a big track for her. She just needs to go out there and sell it with promo!
-
Darren Hayes was raving about Madonna on his twitter as well. Calling her Queen and complaining about people saying her outfit was reductive. God love him, such a Madonna fan.
I love how people who wouldn't have even known the definition of "reductive" had it not been for Madonna try use it in reference to her. Go fuck yourself!!

oh my god
okay i've listened once each.
HOLD TIGHT!!!! could be a single for sure. fucking wonderful. i started to get tears in my eyes half way through. then at the end of the song i started sobbing because i was thinking how fucking good this album is and how it's going to blow everyone away. then joan of arc started and after the first few lines i just lost it
laying on my head with my headphones on and a pillow over the top of my face crying like a baby!! it hurts to listen to that song.
then ICONIC! WOWOWOW. soooooooo fucking GOOD! the chorus ICONIC, ICONIC, IRONIC bit with that freaky dark beat in the background omg. it's like the type of production i love! that bit reminds me of Britney. I mean that in a good way! i don't know what song though. this is fucking fantastic.
EXCUSE ME WHILE I LISTEN FOR THE 2ND TIME.
I think these three songs are a really good example of what the rest of the album sounds like. If you like these songs then I think you'll like the album!
-
They 3 are all great tracks and sound even better in HQ!!

Five Things We Learned from the 2015 Grammys 5. Madonna (still) doesn't give a damn about what you think of her

Case in point, the flash. Relatively tame if her history is anything to go by. Either way, shine on, Madge.
-
BTW the LFL remixes are all on Spotify too.
-
I'm having the same issues, Deluxe has been replaced by the 14 track version and I had to pre-order/complete my album again. Pretty frustrating!!
-
Great performance. She looked so good and I loved the dark imagery. Maybe a hint for the tour?
I think the let down was with the Grammy editing. They alway use such boring angles. I think this is going to look heaps better at the Brits.
-
Personally I think they've read all our posts/opinions about the leaked album. There was definitely a great response to Iconic. Plus a lot of hiphop blogs picked it up too and it got a decent response. The fact they've added it to the tracks being released early makes me think it might be the next single.
-
She really is everyone's whipping boy. The same people who tear her apart for who she is, praise the lesser celebrities for the same thing. She was crucified for SEX, yet here's a Kardashian getting her pussy out and the world thinks its the greatest thing in the world. The same thing will happen in 20 years when Britney et al are getting their freak on in their 50's and 60's and everyone will think it's normal. It's just now while Madonna paves the way that everyone gets all pissy.

Since I've been listening to the actual album for a while now I decided to check out some of the demos that didn't make the album.
WOW!!
I can't believe how good the tracks are and they are demos! I wish she releases these somehow because it seems unlikely she'll use them on future albums. They are out now she might aswell make money off them. It's a perfect opportunity to be innovative and do something different as an artist. Obviously most casual fans won't be interested but hardcore fans would and they would pay big money!! Releasing them as "demos" gives her the benefit of having an excuse if they are considered "bad" but honestly most people have said how good they are!
