Voguerista Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I thought Madonna's super bowl performance was iconic. Whether it was mimed or not, who cares. As said by others, it's not the first time. It's been part of her performances, dancing, mixing and art which I love love love on steroids and may she never change.

Think about the vouge version from the Rit. I rarely enjoy mimed performances. oh you mean the song where she does the crab walk yeah im sure she would have been able to sing perfectly for that performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herfaceremains Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) Total revisionism in the negative Super Bowl talk. Ever since Madonna’s iconic performance, it’s become customary to hype the hell out of every subsequent performer, and not one has come close. And don’t give me Beyoncé as an example. She was a professional stripper the first time, and the second was pseudo-political filler, and ugly to boot. Above all, no one is ever going to get away with claiming that the unmentionable reductive one gave anything close to an outstanding performance. It was dire. The level of professionalism and grace Madonna displayed, not only performing with a hamstring injury, but recovering extremely quickly from a near tragic misstep on the bleachers, is something I haven’t seen any other performer deliver. The limitations of the staging and dismantling windows in a massive stadium at a live event watched by an unimaginably large worldwide audience meant there were too many logistical sound risks for the type of performance Madonna was delivering. That may sound like excuses, but it’s hardly as if she has never performed live over the last forty years. We all know she has had intermittent fantastic live vocal performances and some dire as fuck ones. It’s not some industry secret like Milli Vanilli and Black Box. Side note: that’s why she mimed without a mic at the VMA’s. She had been accused of lip syncing on the BA tour, and she was making a statement about the real industry hypocrisy...not forgetting that Paula Abdul was found to have sung over guide vocals on her album at the time too. Some day the generational tide will turn again, and Madonna will cease being the punching bag for others’ transgressions. I hope that’s not when she’s dead, but at the rate we are going with all this rewriting of her legacy by the media, her haters, her fans and occasionally herself, it’s becoming a rough ride. If there’s continued negativity going into her new musical project, I honestly think I will unplug and just enjoy it old school in my own world! It was always the best way!

Dams Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I am as obsessed with Madonna as all of you. But don’t complain about the negativity against her if you can’t speak about Lady Gaga or Beyonce without bashing them. They are fantastic performers. I’ll never like them as much as M but I can still appreciate their huge talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga not so much, she's graceless, clunky and as she stated herself barely bothers rehearsing.....and it shows.....but hey she has that powerful foghorn voice to fall back on so she's always got theater when the pop thing no longer works for her in a couple years.

Jazzy Jan Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Staggering how anyone on a Madonna forum can get more upset when other stars are criticised. Soon the Madonna bashing and comparisons will start in defence of others. So obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vogue is her miming song and there's no need to clutch at straws and make silly excuses. No excuses. Just a clever cartoon. Elton just sits and the piano and sings which is perfectly OK but there is never any need for him to mime as he does not move around the stage at all. This is what the cartoon is showing. If fans want Madonna to sing live ALL the time - every single song - don't expect her to move around or show off her fantastic dancing skills.

Jazzy Jan Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 For goodness sake, why are you bringing this up ? We were specifically talking about the Superbowl and per normal, people take the criticism as far as possible.

Vogue992 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Madonna is not (technically) perfect, but i dont understand the need to worry about playback. The entire RH promo tour was live, the Brits was enough proof of that. She did ENTIRE tours live from start to finish and uses a lot less pre-recorded vocals than others. Beyonce (since someone wrote her name) is a great singer, but she mimes almost the entire show (a part from a ballad or two). Gaga....well, she basically screams the entire time over lots of backing tracks, so... And how some people DARE come in here and disrespect and downplay Madonna IMMENSE talent as an entertainer.

Guest TearsInHeaven Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Can we ban the people always bringing negativity here? i am talking about those newbies/recent posters whose sole purpose is to write negative things about Madonna. Clearly they are coming from other forums with the intention to stir shit, why keeping them? And also those posters in the gaga thread that continuously report negative articles/threads from other forums about Madonna for the sake of bringing our mood down. Could the moderators have a look into this request? I am all for free speech but i am refraining myself from posting more because of the things i read. It is not just casual criticism towards a song or a look or a video, it is something that happens regularly and it frankly kills the mood of the forum.
