  1. Guy Oseary is responsible. Leaks happened ever since Frozen in 1998. The Music album also leaked months in advance. It just didn't make as much of a dent in sales bc ppl weren't downloading as much then. Guy should be responsible for keeping things secure. He is an executive who got lucky and was placed in a position of power, but he is someone who's interested in money cars and women, rather than actual good work.

    But she had a different manager in 1998, i think Careese was fired in 2005...?

  2. :lol: what a great story but cmon!! Stare subtly :lol: It is weird to catch someone staring at you, it's stalkerish.

    Well i was 18, had been a HUGE fan since i saw her for the first time on tv in 1985 when i saw the Material Girl video...i went to the Girlie Show but was to young to go to the floor so i didn't get to see her very close in 93

    So that day in Evita was my first time seeing her...i couldn't help myself and kept staring...

    I understand her being annoyed by it...

    During a break from the shoot, Madonna, J Pryce and another actress went inside the airport building, they where the only 3 people inside, it was hot as hell outside we were all dressed up with lots of very heavy clothing, some of the extras complained about the heat so they made us all go inside, and we were told to sit on the floor...of course all of the extras sat facing Madonna, so she stood up and turned her chair the other way lol

    I never believed those 'evil eye' stories, it must be exhausting and annoying to get stared at like that every single day of her life

  3. I worked as an extra in Evita, as a soldier, the day she shot the rainbow tour scenes(on the car and boarding the plane).

    The scene she's saying goodbye to her mother on a red carpet about to board the plane took about 2 hours to shoot, they did tons of different takes, i had her right in front of me and i couldn't stop staring at her, i had never seen anyone that beautiful, like a doll...

    She noticed me staring, she didn't seem to be in the best of moods that day, she caught me staring at her, she turned to the actress that played her mother and said to her 'do i have monkeys on my face or what?', they both looked at me and she called me a moron lol...i felt like crying haha, i was young

    She took a small camera and started taking pics of some of the crew in a playful way, one of the extras told her in spanish to take a pic of the extras too and to my surprise she understood and said "NO" in full bitch mode..

  4. :rotfl:

    "Madonna's body in mid to end of 2001/ Swept Away". Love how they took footage/pics from that exact period and gave it that title :crazy: Most people wish to have her body/beauty. And natural nose, tits etc etc. Her arms were a bit hairy in her early 20s that's for sure. And she was scarily thin but that's due to the strenuous dancing training of those years

    Exactly.

    They also show some Swept Away pics of her looking super fit in a bikinni claiming that she doesn't have a waist failing to acknowledge that she had given birth less than a year before

  5. I wonder if those rumors from MTRIBE were true that Live Nation & Madonna's team were disappointed in the pace of the Australia/NZ leg sales? Maybe to make sure they meet their financial goals, she's actually considering Latin America? I think this would be the first true worldwide tour. Well, minus Africa.

    I doubt it's because of how the australian shows sold, i think it's got more to do with not being able to secure more asian dates, and even if she goes to Mexico i dont see her coming to South America(major economic crisis going on in Brazil and Argentina at the moment), it'll probably be Mexico and then off to Asia...

  6. There is Japan which you can download the full show. There was also a broadcast of Turkey but I've never been able to find that version anywhere. Aside from that there's the audio of London and a radio broadcast of Rio (which has radio announcers talking all the way through unfortunately.)

    I dont think the show from Turkey was ever broadcasted in full.

    They did show 2 or 3 full performances for a Turkish tv special, but that was it.

    Here's EY in full from Turkey:

  7. Eight million viewers! This must be one of the most-watched programs ever -- live event, concert or otherwise. All the more impressive since HBO had fewer subscribers in 1990.

    "The Sopranos" series got 12 million viewers and is, I believe, their most-watch program ever.

    I wonder how many people watched the Girlie Show and Drowned World.

    More from Holidayguy's post:

    "Madonna- Live Down Under: The Girlie Show" goes into the ratings books as HBO's most-watched non-sports original programming of the year. In HBO's 10.3 million-household cable universe, the live two-hour Saturday concert averaged a 17.0 rating/27 share, according to Nielsen figures released yesterday by the pay-cable channel.

    Though Sex and the City and Six Feet Under are done for the summer and the World War II series Band of Brothers is two weeks off, HBO still managed to torment the Sunday competition this past weekend with its Madonna Live: Drowned concert special.

    According to Nielsen Media Research, the concert airing from 9:01 to 10:47 p.m. attracted a potent 8.3 rating among adults 18-49 and an 11.0 rating in the HBO universe of about 33 million homes.

    Madonna's Confessions Tour, which aired on Thanksgiving Eve 2006, drew 4.6m viewers (and a 1.8 in the 18-49 demo).

  8. Did it get high ratings?

    Found this 1997 Variety article, posted by Holidayguy on another forum:

    'Garth' has ratings in high places

    By Scott Hettrick

    HBO's "Garth: Live From Central Park" on Thursday was the highest-rated original program on the network this year and drew the biggest audience of any HBO concert special in three years.

    The network plans to rerun the program at 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 13, and, at Garth Brooks' request, offer it free to all basic cable subscribers. "Garth" drew an average of 3.9 million households and nearly 7 million viewers during the 90-minute program.

    The special broadcast of the Brooks show, which drew an estimated 250,000 concertgoers in New York, was the fifth-most-watched concert in HBO history, behind the nearly 8 million viewers who watched "Madonna: Blond Ambition" in 1990, the 7.9 million who saw "Whitney: Welcome Home, Heroes" in March 1991, the 7.3 million who watched "Michael Jackson: Live From Bucharest" in 1992, and the 7.1 million viewers who watched "Barbra Streisand: The Concert" in 1994.
