Madame X

I've followed Madonna's career for now 25 years. While at times she's annoyed/disappointed me and my interest might have waned, end of the day I am a fan. Enough so I have other reviews of her movies/videos in my history and got the free Paramount preview to check the show out.

This isn't the grave physical undertakings The Girlie Show was and Blonde Ambition but in her 60's Madonna still puts on a show. Good visuals and dance moves. I know she had some injuries on the tour and joked about using opium. One thing she has always prided herself on was living clean and working very very hard. So I hope for her sake that was just a joke.

Most songs she performed came off Madame X but some oldies in there like Vogue, Like A Prayer, Frozen, and even American Life.

I know she's been very political in her later career and I didn't think it was too overkill with it. My only grievance was her personality when addressing the audience could be potty mouthed and rather arrogant. But I guess she's always been like that as well.

But yeah overall I liked this special.

Terrible editing. I doubt this is what the fans who paid hundreds of euro for the ticket got to see. A terrible mix of stage and videos. One thing is for certain madonna can't edit. It was clear in the movies she directed of course. Her worst album by far and as a huge fan of hers for almost 25 years, I am so sorry to see her like this. I hope she pulls it together.

Lifelong lover of Madonna and even saw the concert live. The visuals were amazing and the music was moving. Madonna is always political, that's to be expected. However, there wasn't a single "woke" movement she didn't try to use in her show. It became boring and overdone. Vogue was fun, Like a Prayer was moving, and Frozen was stunning. No one puts on a show like Madonna! Minus 2 stars for the tedious use of every left agenda item.

This show is jut no fun to watch, not because her age, because still i think she looks like a (kind of) pop star. But everything is so political, yet shallow at the same time. Shes doing everything she can to intrigue u, but when it comes from white billionaire, its just sounds ridiculous. Even when she sings old hits, like human nature, is so busy with being political. All the fun are gone. A new democracy she screaming, death to patriarchy. And the audience just don't believe her anymore.

Im truly recommended her to make a new gay club album- that will be the place, of pure fun, and that's what she, and the world, needs right now.

No doubt , Madonna Ciccone has a natural gift of re-inventing and reshaping herself and her musical career and that's natural.... Overall , Madame X is entairning , thought provoking and daring , but something is missing.... That sizzling touch of the eighties , truth & dare of the nineties or those great colaborations of the 00's .It's too much hi-tech ,too much gizmos and gadgets and music is second-stage ....Thanks,but no , thanks ! I prefer to keep that pink image of a "virgin" in mind.... Every now and then nannies must take a nap !
