Guest groovyguy Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Matthew Rettenmund, from Boy Culture, shared She arrived around 11:45PM, sat in the balcony for the opening number, then emerged from the stage in a pair of asscheek-baring short-shorts and preened her way to a side-stage where she spent most of the night trying to hide from all of us fanarazzi so as not to distract from the hard-working dancers who were dancing on the main stage. Madonna narrowed it down to four dancers, who then had a dance-off and Madonna chose someone called Li’l Buck from Memphis, Tennessee (“the hood,” he proudly proclaimed) to become a dancer with her on tour. Then followed a long, long, long period of us staring at her and her entourage while she ignored our existence and was filmed for some kind of promo piece. Finally, she started teasing us with dance moves and went over to greet Martin Solveig in his DJ booth where she danced wildly to “Hello,” Alicia Keys and other hot club songs. The highlight was when Solveig got her to sing a bit of “Give Me All Your Love.” Finally, we made it to the very front, where the exasperated guards in “STAFF” T-shirts were openly telling people no one had any idea what was going on. All I did was flash my ID and hand in the releases we needed (to be on camera—the event was filmed) and we walked straight in and onto the main floor, five or so people from the side stage. So we huddled near that side stage, which was set up with luxurious white couches and looked ot us like the place where Madonna would sit and judge the contest. Guy Oseary, Liz Rosenberg, at least two yarmulked Kabbalists and a host of trendy-looking entouragers emerged and filled the couches before us. Then when announcements began from the stage regarding the dance-off, Madonna came out into a VVIP section of the mezzanine with her boyfriend Brahim Zaibat and sat almost out of view. Luckily, after some opening dances from around the world (something about “black, white, yellow, high-yellow, fierce, not so fierce” was being said), we saw Madonna put on her coat (uh, it wasn’t cold in there) and disappear, so we knew she planned to come into view. What nobody suspected was that she would soon emerge from under the stage, rising like Venus from the sea in a cute little outfit that included shorts so short they’re probably illegal in parts of the South and over-the-knee, studded black boots. That plus her David Letterman-style magic hair gave her the look of a fetching minx, albeit one who would not hesitate to kick your ass all the way home. Madonna posed, hands on hips, then preened her way to the side-stage where she spent most of the night trying to hide from all of us fanarazzi so as not to distract from the hard-working dancers who were dancing on the main stage She eventually figured it out and walked onto the stage to banter with some of the dancers, most memorably Scorpio, a Frenchman living in England who I thought might win. I loved that Madonna was pulling a partial Paula Abdul over all of this; she’d even told them all not to take not being chosen personally. Ultimately, it was Li’l Buck from Memphis who won, and he was blown away, telling the crowd he’d come from the hood, the streets. But bust she did, dancing with Brahim and loosening up to a “Rolling in the Deep” mix after seeming unwilling to dance to her own tunes (“Music,” “Hollywood” and “Like a Prayer” were played in part). Finally, Madonna seemed to think someone should’ve scheduled some audience time and she looked out at us and taunted us with some robotic dance moves that everyone immediately mimicked (well, not me; I was losing circulation in my arms from holding my camera aloft). She laughed and then took off, walking back across the stage and scaling some stairs to the DJ’s exposed booth, where she threw her arms around DJ Martin Solveig, who of course is responsible for her next single, “Give Me All Your Love.” The highlight of the whole night was when Solveig, while playing Madonna’s own “Hung Up” (she did some moves and sang along to it), sang into the mic, “L-U-V Madonna…” and Madonna chimed in, “Y-O-U You wanna!” Then, on a dime, Madonna said good-bye to Solveig and strolled down to the stage and out of view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Together Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 isnt the song in the bg when she comes out on stage one of the new ones? It's rumored to be! Who really knows? I certainly hope it's true ....and that's disgusting that the Little Monsters are starting to say M "ripped off" Lady Who when she entered on stage. Wouldn't Madonna just be ripping off herself?

adreeyen Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 It's hard to tell because she's been all over the place stylistically in the past year. That slutty Vanity Fair outfit, the sophisticated dresses from the different film festivals & Harper's Bazaar, this outfit from the Smirnoff thing. Who knows really.

Guest groovyguy Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 http://drownedmadonna.com/index/item/483-interview-christopher-hanany-aka-kyubee.html Interview Christopher Hanany a.k.a. Kyubee Christopher Hanany (aka Kyubee) was one of the finalists of the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange contest in New York City performing in front of Madonna to get a job as a dancer on her upcoming world tour. Our collaborators Ultimate Concert Experience (UCE) interviewed him on the occasion of this final in order to find out why he participated and what made him a dancer he is now. UCE : What is your background in dance? I started dancing at age 14 after having seen the movie "You Got Served". UCE : What are your dancing experiences before you attend the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange final ? My experience has been to work abroad with great choreographers. UCE : Do you write your choreography yourself? Yes. UCE : Who are the great examples that you admire in dance? I have no ties of admiration, only inspiration. UCE : What do you think of all television programs such as “So You Think You Can Dance” ? It's a good program to showcase the talented dancers. UCE : How creative are you ? To what are you inspired ? I am inspired by all flim, people, music .... My imagination does the rest. UCE : What was the main reason to participate in the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange event ? Madonna!! UCE : Would you also have participated if it was not supported by Madonna? Yes, of course because it is the opportunity to travel and meet other dancers and choreographers. UCE : Can you describe the road to the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange finale ? It's simple, a friend told me about the audition, I simply sent a video, I was contacted by Smirnoff later to tell me that I had to come to New York. The waiting period was a period of stress but it's still a great memory. UCE : Can you tell us more about the final night of the Smirnoff Night Exchange project ? It was very exciting to dance to Madonna, it gave me the feeling I really want to go on tour with her! UCE : What are your future plans about dance? I hope to dance for her, if I make a creation for the Theatre National de Chaillot in Paris. From September 2012 I shall dance with the contemporary company ECO the tale "Skin Of Donkey” of Charle Perrault and brothers Grimm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
