  1. The show was amazing!!! My feet and my back hurt like hell but it was so worth it. I travelled to Prague to avoid the boring German audience but the Czech crowd was just alright. That's the only slightly negative remark I have to say about tonights show. Oh and the opening act was quite bad but I felt so sorry for them when they were booed off the stage by the audience in a really rude and disrespectful way. I have never experienced something like that at a concert before.

    But now the positive:

    - She was 'on time' and she even apologized for always being so late but she must assure that the show is perfect for us

    - She was beautiful and all smiles

    - her vocals were on point

    - she sang Ghosttown

    - the Candy Shop Remix rocks! That beat is insane

    - the crowd on the floor wasn't pushy, I could actually dance

    - the show seemed to go on forever. It is her longest show and I wish all of her future shows are that long

    - J. Chastain as the bitch was a nice surprise

    - Illuminati interlude is one of her best ever

    I could go on and on..but now I'm just happy to get some sleep! Can't wait to see the show again in a few weeks...

    Bye bitches!!!

  2. For the next time I would definitely go closer to the main stage, as there is a lot happening there and being in front of the heart stage I did miss a lot.

    Hvala! Now that's what I wanted to know. I'm seeing the show tomorrow and I still wondered where I should stand - in front of the heart, in the middle of the runway where she performs Holy Water or in front of the main stage...hmmm difficult decision but I think I'll try the main stage.

  3. Unless her extensions are 100% human hair, there is nothing a hot oil treatment will do. I love her hair on this tour, because she finally wears it almost waist length, something I always wanted to see :-) The last segment, with the bun, I don't like it knowing she has the long extensions. I want to see those songs with long hair, but she probably has it up so it doesn't get caught in the jewels on her shiny outfit. Also, as the show goes, her hair goes from all down to half up to a quarter up, to all the way up- so in this respect, I can appreciate how all sections have a new hairstyle, and they have that pattern.

    Me too!!!!

    I liked the first section on the MDNA tour with the huge fall, but the rest of the show, it wasn't doing anything for me. I didn't like the length- it was attempting to be long, but it was a little too short, and it kept going behind her back. I also didn't like the Vogue section, but I all ready said in other posts I am not into updo's. I love when she wears it long- she looks like a warrior, a goddess, and a wild figment of the imagination :-D I hope she somehow decides to let it all down for this tour- especially the end segment lol even if her jewels get caught, ad even though I appreciate each section having a different hairstyle.

    omg it's just friggin HAIR

  4. I think it's less a question of seeming human but more about connecting to the audience, which you can't very well do with too much technological apparatuses or when the artist is lipsyncing in order to realize complex choreographies. Live singing and live instruments do make a difference in that regard.

    Well, that's actually what I meant. Connecting and talking to the audience = being less robotic and more approachable and 'human' to the GP

  5. Great review from my alma mater, NYU! Yeah!

    At one point during her Thursday night show at Madison Square Garden, Madonna sat down at the end of her cross-shaped catwalk, guitar in hand, and started talking to the audience.

    Well here we are, 30 years later, Madonna said to the screaming crowd, referring to the first time she played the Garden on her 1985 Virgin Tour. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

    It was a particularly heartfelt and nostalgic moment from the Queen of Pop, something thats unusual for her shows. Among other things, Madonna is known for her intense and provocative world tours. They are usually filled with profanity-laced greetings rather than heart, and a focus on the present rather than the past. Even her greatest hits are reimagined when they are brought out. This is part of what has kept fans coming back to see her for 30 years. But the singers new Rebel Heart Tour has a different feel.

    The show, her second of two at the Garden, kicked off in classic Madonna style as she sang Rebel Heart from a descending cage surrounded by dancers dressed as medieval guards. She followed with a rendition of Bitch Im Madonna and an electric guitar-driven Burning Up, the first of a few reinventions of 80s classics throughout the night.

    The shows obligatory blasphemous number was a mashup of Rebel Hearts Holy Water and the classic Vogue, during which the provocateur and four dancers dressed as scantily-clad nuns performed with cross-shaped stripper poles before recreating The Last Supper on stage. It was a sight to behold, and one of the evenings most unforgettable moments.

    As the night went on, however, Madonna began to focus less on jaw-dropping theatrics and more on simply having fun. The sheer joy was contagious throughout the arena, as she and the audience danced to a faithful rendition of Deeper and Deeper and a remixed Like a Virgin, complete with a strip tease. The night was filled with audience interaction, making it more intimate than your average pop show. After thanking specific fans in the crowd for their support, she brought an unsuspecting fan on stage to dance with her during Unapologetic Bitch.

    But the shows most special moment came as she sang an acoustic version of True Blue, a song she has not performed live since 1987s Whos That Girl Tour while the songs subject, Oscar-winning actor and ex-husband Sean Penn, watched from the front row. It was a sign that their tumultuous relationship has come full-circle on a good note, and a remarkably personal moment to witness in a theatrical arena show.

    The Rebel Heart Tour proves that Madonna can thrill an arena crowd without the bells and whistles that make up her typical pop spectacle. She has never sounded better or looked more at ease on stage, giving fans yet another reason to keep coming back after a three-decade career with no sign of stopping soon.

    Great review, thanks! It's funny to see how people appreciate and love her more when her focus is less on theatrics and more on having fun and smiling througout the show. I believe it makes her seem more 'human' and that's what the GP wants.
