  1. I agree with most people that the promotion during this era could have been much better, but some of the promo stuff did work. For example, I agree that it was great for her to play the super bowl & for her to announce a sale for the new tour after the super bowl was over. The release of the first two singles & good videos was smart promotion as well. I'm not sure why she waited so long to release a third single & video & a fourth single looks likes it might not happen.

    Smarter promotion would have worked much better in promoting the era, but it does not take away from the fact that mdna appears to be not a very popular album among american & several european audiences. It's great that it sold sold so many copies, but people seem to be on the fence a/b the album & her newer material. I will always continue to love & respect her music & tours if her popularity does gradually fade, but her management team needs to figure out how for her upcoming future projects to keep her on top of her game

  2. I was surprised about the mash up. It's pretty interesting how she is now including three hard candy songs throughout the concert. I think she really likes HC & wants to promote her newer material since HC & sticky & sweet live cd were her most recent releases before mdna.

    I also like the fact that she refuses to be pressured into playing her mega hits even though I understand why people are pissed a/b the lack of older & more popular songs during the tour. I'm curious to see if there will be other changes, especially for the two upcoming new york concerts!!

  3. I was a little nervous about the upcoming msg shows possibly being canceled because it has taken the city a very long time to fix so many complicated problems that are a direct result from the hurricane. I'm almost one hundred percent certain at this time the concert will not be canceled.

    Are there other people crazy enough to see her live again at msg? I had a couple of different people ask me if I was interested in seeing her at msg, but I don't have tickets yet & the people who asked me have not made a final decision about attending.

  4. I really liked her speech & how she handled the sound problem as well. She can be very funny when she is not trying not to be too serious. I think it's great when she tries to get people to stand up, but most likely there were people there who did not get the show & did not know most of the newer songs. Love that she is playing the midwest smaller cities even though I'm not from there.

  5. This song is really good & I like how it aggressive. I personally like the other potential singles from the album better, but I think this would definitely make the best next single & possibly create the next biggest buzz for her. Nicki M. is pretty ok for me, but I have to admit her super popularity would bring even more attention to the tour & album. Madonna would have to release the next single very, very soon or I guess it wolld be too late.

    I always think that there is a chance for new fans to come on board & appreciate mdna. I think this album grows on many people overtime.

  6. I think that her msg concerts are going to be some of the best of the tour. The crowds in nyc are usually some of the most enthusiastic around. I feel like she really tries her best when performing there. I hope that I can make it too!

  7. The videos from complaining fans are sad. The tour is excellent for the most part, but unfortunately parts of the show are too dark & excessively violent for mainstream audiences (especially parts of the american midwest). I actually liked very much the violence, gore, & dark themes because it is a part of the twisted & aggressive side of madonna that I appreciate.

    There is a part of me that also thinks it's somewhat funny that people are permanently stuck on seeing her nostalgic hits mostly from the eighties. I think some people are expecting a light hearted show even though she has had another tour that some people considered too dark (drowned world).

    The only way that I could somewhat relate to these fans is when after seeing the brilliant confessions tour & in my opinion the very good RIT, I was expecting sticky & sweet to really rock, but I was disappointed with some of the concert.

    Well her tours are definitely always changing & defying people's expectations & that's what keeps her from being boring & sets her way apart from the other predictable pop stars.

  8. I saw a good video of I'm addicted on youtube from new orleans. I was pretty surprised people did not seem too much into the song while she was singing. They were mostly standing around, but I'm sure there were people in the golden triangle who loved the concert.

    I think its awesome she is going to play some cities in the US that she has never played before or has not played in many years. I hope the crowds will be enthusiastic enough for her because she enjoys it when audience is lively & vibrant.

  9. I would be happy as well if she released love spent as a single with a great video, but I guess that will not happen. I really would like another single/video from one of the stronger tracks from mdna released with a video, but who knows for sure if that will happen. I agree that such a large tour requires more singles & videos!

    I think that one of Madonna's many strengths is her ability to make awesome & cutting edge videos & I wish she would capitalize on that now. There are so many stupid musical artists making good videos & I wish she would be more creative in that way. Some of my other favorite bands & singers have released multiple good videos & it makes me appreciate & enjoy their music more.

    Anyway, her recent work has been pretty amazing & the tour kicks butt!!

  10. When I saw the mdna tour twice she came on around 10:25. I really enjoyed hearing the dj & the anticipation for her to go on was fun, but I think it's unfair for people in the venue to have to wait for so long after having to pay so much money for the tickets. I did not mind booking a hotel b/c I knew the concert would end late, but I wish it would have ended a little earlier, so I could have possibly driven the two and a half hours to get home. The tickets were so much money that I rather have saved money on the hotel.

    Overall, I do think some of the general public who saw this tour will not see her again b/c they are very turned off by her lateness, not playing more hits on the tour, & the violence in the gang bang segment. She will also always attract many new fans b/c she has had such a large amount of music that has been released & she is a rock n roll legend. I personally feel this tour is awesome & I still listen to the album all the time.

  11. I have to admit I will be pretty disappointed if she does not release a dvd/cd of the mdna tour. I would like to watch & listen to the video when it is professionally recorded instead of watching some of the mdna youtube videos.

    I was hoping that she would record the two shows in NYC, but perhaps she will do it in south america where the fans are pretty upbeat.
