Danmacevents Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 If it's a no she better have some amazing European promo up her sleeve. I also thought she'd do Eurovision and Graham Norton soonish. But I've heard nothing about any talk shows

I mean it is the current single after all, getting streamed the most, the #1 song on Radio 2, etc. I agree. I completely understand and support the idea of releasing different songs to build up the launching of the album, but among the released songs Medellin is the song that most people know and would perfectly fit Eurovision. Besides it has been steady on the streaming platforms and did in its first days much better than Crave (and I Rise). Medellin is an uplifting and catchy song. Performing Crave or Future (which we still don't know how it sounds) maybe not be the best approach imo. But I am hoping that the chosen song really works well on stage and also on the digital platforms. Edited May 13, 2019 by Geiger83

I'd say she should simply perform whichever song does the best job of advertising the album to the general public, or specifically, Europe. I think Medellin has had its chance and it's time to move on from it. The first single was always going to be the one with the most chance to perform well and, if we're honest, it just hasn't . So time to just plug the album.

Msig Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Hmmm.. In the first version of the official Eurovision Song Contest 2019 Media Handbook, Madonna was mentioned several times as one of the interval acts in the final. However, the PDF version of the Media Handbook available at eurovision.tv has been replaced with a new version in which Madonna is mentioned only as one of several international artists who have previously performed in Tel Aviv.

Nikki Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 if it's true that M wanted to perform two new songs, it shows how little she knows of Eurovision. imagine singing GMAYL and GGW at the halftime and ignoring her catalog. her "team" of people are obviously a joke.
AlanLongoria Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 I think Madonna (or her brand new PR) wants to avoid the backlash. If she simply performs as a 'surprise' people will focus on her performance and not on the announcement.

Eurovision is perfect for new songs. The audience does not expect to hear something familiar. Every act in the world would prefer to perform songs from their new album, rather than catalog hits. I suspect that the only reason she agreed to doing Like A Prayer is because the final takes place in Israel.

Just got this pop up https://eurovoix.com/2019/05/13/eurovision19-contract-not-yet-signed-with-madonna-for-eurovision-appearance/ The drama! She needs to play at least one classic to get the place jumping. A positive reminder of past hits is a much bigger boost than just wheeling out two new songs.

That's your opinion. I think this is the moment for new material. What's the point of performing Vogue or Music?
karbatal Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Crave was rushed. Eurovision was rushed. Then Madonna will speak to explain she's been rehearsing for one month and all the Suffering Fans will shut up.
dollhouse Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Has anyone ever dared to require Madonna to sing a certain song in event?

I dont thing she would go to a show watched by 200 millions unprepared.

The show has a really great stage, sound and production. Why all the fuss?

Kim Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 I can't imagine any professional organization making a deal the way that report suggests. Logistics, lighting, appearance fee, setlist etc would surely have been sorted WAY before now with a few days to go.
