Carta Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 OK, our last thread died out and I don't know how far back it is, so here's a new one! Let's get the old gang together and converse like the good old days of 2012-2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jan Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Watch this thread explode when Madonna comes to Australia as part of her "promo tour" Then returns for her proper tour. Let's think positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotlight Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 im not from Australia but I have always wondered this. given that kylie Minogue is from Melbourne, is she a big deal down under? was she ever popular there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carta Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Kylie is an Australian institution and although her popularity has waned considerably now, she was up there with Madonna in terms of singles chart success in the 00s. Check out her discography at Wikipedia to see just how much chart success she has had here. She hasn't had anywhere near as many #1 albums as Madonna has, but she's only one #1 single behind Madonna overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeronicaElectronica Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I was surprised to find out that Kylie didn't have a #1 album until Light Years. I think it also caused Music to peak at #2 because they were released at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carta Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 It was the Olympics commemorative album that kept "Music" off the #1 spot ;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jan Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Please folks, don't turn this into the Kylie thread. Talk about her in flop Princesses instead. This is Madonna Australia thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeronicaElectronica Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I was wondering what type of reception Madonna will get after not being here for 20+ years when she finally comes to Australia. I believe that the moment she touches down in Australia, everyone will forget that number because it will be such a surreal and crazy experience. While I don't know how big of an event it was when Madonna came in 1993 because I wasn't born until 1996, I remember when Oprah came, the whole country fucking lost their shit, putting giant O's on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I think she would really enjoy Australia this time around as she will be seeing it from a different perspective than she did almost 22 years ago.

XXL Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Praying for the Australian fans right now Madonna in Australia after 22 years would bring in at least $50m out of a handful of gigs alone Plus it would be an event of worldwide resonance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I remember when she was here in 93 and pretty much every day she was in the country, the nightly news would have as one of its top stories what madonna did that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I honestly can't imagine it now. I'm kind of embarrassed for her to come here. I don't think she gets Australia and its weird sense of humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious If she's lived in England for 10 years she can get there too again, I think The British sense of humour is very different from the American sense of humour I love when Jan tells me about Australia, beautiful country on a visual level alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivy Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I will personally buy everyone at Madonnanation a jar of Vegemite ( or Marmite for the faint hearted ) if she sets foot in this country again... Funnily enough, I'm actually looking forward to the excuse that her and High IQ Guy O will come up with this time round " Olga has to go to obedient school because she pissed on my Jimmy Choo's" " red back spiders" " Mercy is graduating with honours from grade 1" " an allergy to bogans" " peanuts" " wombats" etc etc etc...

I don't think she gets Australia and its weird sense of humour. San, I don't think she has any problem with the humour here as she loves Molly Meldrum and he is as Australian as you can get. She hit if off with him from the word go and it has always been obvious as they have mucked around together so much. I have also read about her interactions with Michael Gudinski, his family and tour organisers and they all got along wonderfully with her. Plus Sonia Kruger said they hit it off and you won't get anymore Australian in humour and attitude than Sonia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I think Australians can be incredibly daggy - which is endearing, don't get me wrong, but I just cringe at some of the scenarios that may come her way in interacting with the Australian media. Like imagine (she never would but...) if she sat at The Project desk and they chatted to her there...those hosts are a bunch of dip shits and I shudder to think the idiotic things they would say/do. M has done a few interviews etc that are silly/random, but she always seems a bit uncomfortable. And you have to also consider that it's going to be a big fucking deal if she comes - if she isn't totally open to the experience of people losing their shit and being a bit mental about it all she will come off as the bitch some want her to be. And Molly is a unique situation - they're friends. It's been sooooo long....and it makes me nervous. Distance can't be the only reason she never came back. I think she mustn't be too fond of this lovely country. Never mind me - I'm totally over thinking the whole thing. It's hard to imagine she will ever be here again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregVsMatt Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I don't see her doing any interviews with Aussie media again unless she announces a tour - Madonna has never even done a satellite interview with Australian media, they usually just fly over to where she is. The last interview we got was the pre-MDNA W.E. one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
