  1. I am amused how many people seem to dislike Guy. I don't think he is such a bad guy after all, they were together for 8 years and I believe he legally had the right to a portion of her fortune when they divorced so I don't think he really "took" her money, no doubt it was settled in court.

    I do believe though she consciously did put some of her kids in the spotlight a couple of times, remember IAGTTYAS, some fashion magazine shoots, having them onstage with her, taking them to movie openings. For years nobody knew how Jon BonJovi or Bono their kids looked like, or Annie Lennox her daughters, among other celebs their kids.

    Divorce is never easy for kids and Madonna's are no exception.

    Only she and Guy know what happend between them. Sad it happens during these seasons when people prefer peace and quietness over drama in their family.

  2. I hit 40 in april and a fan since Like A virgin so I consider myself a long time survivor fan.

    I feell very lucky to have experienced very consciously Madonnas rise to fame around the age of 10-11 and how much of an impression it left on me and I remember it very vividly and how a sensation she was back then and how many gallons of ink were spilled over her image and music and impact and her image change in 86..

    It was also an era where a lot of rules and taboos were soon to be broken, a change in commerce, economy television, technology, simple things we take for granted now that were introduced like cash dispensors, and the rise and demise of a lot of great artists and MTV becoming big and doing what it was doing best back then.

    I feel sorry for the young ones who were born post 80's and missed out on all that.

    And yes, I am not very fond of everything post Guy Ritchie she has done artistically. She kind of got lost in my opinion when she separated from Guy and I feel lightyears away from her where earlier on I could relate to her artistic and personal choices. I guess though I am just spoiled after so much Madonna greatness in the early years

  3. Oh Annie Lennox plays here often lately plus Kate Bush in anticipation of her upcoming London shows.

    Whitney Houston always had an incredible voice but it was her arrogant primadonna behaviour and attitude that always made me dislike her.

    People I know who saw her live all said that she had the similar attitude onstage. "I am fantastic and you all mean nothing to me"

    Too bad her beloved Lord that she referred to continuously was not there to save her and keep her from doing narcotics

  4. Like A Virgin definately.

    Very eye-catching back in the 80;s and sexy and a bit unsual to see a lot of boobs on an album cover of a mainstream artist.

    I love that whole photosession she did with Meisel for that album and the following single covers.

    Funny how she is always photographed from the left. Obviously her better side.

  5. I hope she does not give us any act or song or choreography to prove that she does not care what the world and people think of her, even though she secretly does. We know it by now.

    Foremost the Aussies deserve a few shows so she has my blessing if she skips a lot of North American and European cities and take a month or so for Down Under and Asia. Love travelling to other countries for Madonna shows.

    Screw the budget, she can even pay for it herself if shipping and stuff of equipment is too costly.

  6. I saw it 4 times and every time the show and my seat got better.

    Finally front row during the 4th show that I attended, managing to attract Madonna her attention and having her pointing and winking at me.

    I prefer this show way over S&S, Confessions and MDNA, for the very bare simple overseeable stage set-up, the setlist, the goodlooking dancers and 2 of my favorite tourcostumes in this show.

    Pity it never came to an official DVD release but I do have the Lisbon recording plus a very-well-secretly filmed New York show.

    But it looks like I am in the minority...
