[irishgrl]

:laugh: ok thank you :laugh:
sorry sweetie, nothing against you, Im sure you enjoy her and thats ok by me :nod: I just think she acts like her **** dont stink, and that bugs me. She's not for everyone, but as my best bud says, "she's laffing all the way to the bank" so she's doing something right I guess........(dammit!)

I don't really care...she can act like that at sometimes...but I still think she's one of the best shows I've seen...you should go see her sometime:laugh:

[ryan8472]

I liked it. I wish I could've seen her when she came to Hartford. :nod:

I missed the first few songs though...

At that horrible civic center:laugh:

[ryan8472]

At that horrible civic center:laugh:

There's not one good music venue in CT besides the Meadows, I'm convinced. :rolleyes: :laugh: :nod:

I'd still go anyways, just to see Madge. :D

[UnwindedDreams]

I'd still go anyways, just to see Madge. :DI saw her there(civic) on June 20 something...I think 26...

Now I gotta put up with the sound at the Aero show next week at Mohegan:laugh:...how's that Arena at Harbor Yard?

I was thinking about going to that show back in June, but I was going to see Blondie that night instead. Of course, it was canceled. :rolleyes:

Harbor Yard is ok. It's a little echoey, but its nothing that'll ruin the show for you. The Mac were great there. :nod:

[Johnny Stew]

I thought it was a great show -- I'm looking forward to the DVD (which is supposedly going to be released before Christmas).

[BTFLCHLD]

I hope this is commercial free.

[Johnny Stew]

I hope this is commercial free.No, unfortunately it was LOADED with commercials.

I had heard rumours about it being aired with "limited commercial interruptions," but that certainly wasn't the case.

[BTFLCHLD]

No, unfortunately it was LOADED with commercials. ugh...that usually irritates me to no-end. But, yes, I see after the first song they are right into it. sucky

[BTFLCHLD]

wow chit I am loving these backdrop visuals...trippy :lol:

[rbs3676]

Aside from the numerous commercials, it was a great show.
Loved it! :thumbsup:

prease exprain."Searching For Madge" is a track on 'Then Play On' (along with its sister song, "Fighting For Madge").

No problem at all. It was my friend's, actually, and he put it in his underwear. :laugh: Which he didn't have to do because all they did was touch his shoulder or something...

Hope you enjoy!

[77Rumours77]

I was going to watch it ... But I had to work :mad:
But I had it taped so I can see the spectical that is a Madonna show. LOL
And I get to FF through the commercials HA!

Also, what songs and vamps were cut for commercials?

[goldie]

I missed the first few songs, but I LOVED it. She is fabulous. AWESOME body if I do say so.

[WelshWitchPMD]

wow chit I am loving these backdrop visuals...trippy :lol:

I saw some of it on one of our TVs and it just gave me convulsions. Sorry, I am not into Madonna. I turned the channel fast.

[PsychCat]

Same here. Speaking for myself, I just don't care for her. She was interesting back in the '80's when I was in college and she was new, but she thinks she is "all that" anymore.... sorry, not so much.
I turned it over during the disco part and it was yawns all around. :sorry:

I'm always reminded of Sandra Bernhardt's story about the apocalypse... and among the few survivors one of them is MADONNA!! :cool:

[CelticGypsy]

WOW!!!!!!!

She was impressive and she makes me feel guilty for NOT exercising everyday.

She HAD it in 1985 when I first saw her video and she STILL has it.

I understand the message, Madonna. Glad I am not narrow-minded and the cross nor the crown of thorns did not bother me at all. You had something to say to the world.

[bikerchic]

I tried to watch but it made me feel sea sick. She's such a hoe. Her equestrian theme is embarrassing and all those horse's falling down in the Steeplechase on the background screen was horrifying! I couldn't watch. I'm an equestrian and I thought that was in very poor taste. Sorry to bring up the Dixie Chicks again, but after seeing them perform, not only do they play a kazillion instruments, write their own songs, and have beautiful voices, they're a hard act to follow. Madonna totally depends on a huge stage production because she can't sing. I guess that's why she humps everything :shrug: When she came out with that guitar and pretended to play it, I thought, this is pathetic and turned to "Show Me the Money" with Captin Kirk and the Dancers. Has anyone seen this game show? It's hilarious!

[UnwindedDreams]

Also, what songs and vamps were cut for commercials?Drowned World and Paradise(Not For Me) and Lucky Star...which should have been aired...They cut out some of live to tell and just showed orphans in malawi and how many of them die within a year or something like that. The also edited the part where she puts her hands down her pants:laugh:

[BlackWidow]

It was such a great LIVE show..not sure it translated well to a small TV screen....

[BlackWidow]

I hate Madonna. that is all.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[77Rumours77]

The also edited the part where she puts her hands down her pants:laugh:


:shocked: :shocked: Thats only the best part! LOL :thumbsup:

I agree with Irish Girl. I hate Madonna.

They also cut out the sound at one point, but I could clearly lip-read "George Bush sucks."

The show was just OK for me. I liked the musical arrangements for the most part. But the stage props were just weird. And not good weird. Except for the Transformer disco ball in the beginning - that thing was amazing.

The Girlie Show is still my fave. She's definitely a guilty pleasure.

[PsychCat]

They also cut out the sound at one point, but I could clearly lip-read "George Bush sucks."

EXACTLY why I can't take Madonna or Streisand.
I could not truly care less what their political views are... it's just obnoxious when they feel they must use their "shows" as a platform.
If you don't like what's going on... get off the frickin' stage and DO something!
And stop complaining about "others" that only supposedly take advantage of the less fortunate when you're charging out the wazoo for tickets and other "stuff". You're flying around on these overpriced tours on personal jets with obnoxious motorcades and make ridiculous demands of people wherever you go.
.... and then dare to claim yourself as "one of us". :lol: :shrug: :lol:

Sorry... these kind of people just get old after awhile. :distress:
As they say, if you're not part of the solution then you're part of the problem.
These ladies have so much to offer should they opt to use their platform constructively. Instead, they name-call and divide.... and then tell the rest of us how we all need to just get along.
I would not expect them to understand, tho. :distress:

Do you mean the men dressed as horses, with the bridle on, complete with bit in their mouth? :shocked: It reminded me of an episode of the Canadian t.v. show "Kink" http://www.showcase.ca/microsites/kink/

oh how I love thee. even though I don't agree 100%. :laugh:

in other news, I should be shot, because I totally forgot about the show. but I'll get the DVD...an excuse to have a party!

[bikerchic]

oh how I love thee. even though I don't agree 100%. :laugh:
Do you want me to tell you how I really feel :laugh: :xoxo:

[BTFLCHLD]

that was some production! :nod: I was happy to hear a few of her older songs tossed into the mix.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Do you want me to tell you how I really feel :laugh: :xoxo:

We know! We know!

The Chicks are the best...no one else compares.

[jannieC]

I used to love Madonna, and actually still kind of like her. I have always wanted to see her perform, but never have. I have to say that after watching the show on TV, I'm probably never going to. I'm not into all the theatrics, etc. Plus, wasn't she lipsynching? And she doesn't play many of her older songs any more (which I'm sure her diehard fans are thrilled about) so it just wouldn't be there for me. I don't hate her- I'm just not into that kind of a show.

The horses wiping out on the big screen was pretty disturbing- what was that all about.

[BTFLCHLD]

The horses wiping out on the big screen was pretty disturbing- what was that all about. I didn't see that part. I wasn't 100% focused on the tv. Of course, a lot of the special effects were post production...other than the dropback and stagelighting...everything else was post. I would think. Those 3-D shows at amusement parks are pretty cool - everything and the kitchen sink flying at your face. They should issue little glasses at concerts so we can all sit there and be blown. I imagine Lindsey's guitar rightthere...that would be something else! :cool:

[bikerchic]

The horses wiping out on the big screen was pretty disturbing- what was that all about.
Madonna's been on her high horse (pardon the pun) lately about her recent love for horses and riding (remember how she broke her collar bone, falling off), well the steeplechasing scene's in the bakeground were to go along with her equestrian theme, the riding outfit, top hat, whip and the saddle on the pole. Gross.

The Disco Inferno/Music mash-up was my faaaaavorite! Makes me want to dust off the roller skates and hit the rink!

She's way too self-conscious. She could stand to be a bit more authentic. That said I am a fan but no I did not watch because I was out.

Holy sh*t, big brother edited out "GB sucks"? Good lord this is not a free country.

No..She said "George Bush can suck my D***!"

[UnwindedDreams]

No..She said "George Bush can suck my D***!"No...she said "just go to Texas and you can suck George Bush's d***!"

[Nixxxed]

No...she said "just go to Texas and you can suck George Bush's d***!"
Ah! I knew I saw "suck" and "George Bush", but it went by so fast. I guess it was my sydlexia acting up again. Plus, that black feathered high collar was very distracting (in a good way - I want one desperately. :laugh: )

[bikerchic]

No..She said "George Bush can suck my D***!"

I KNEW she had a dick! Whore.

[Johnny Stew]

Interestingly enough, NBC did let her sing "little pussies that scream."

I like Madonna, but her ego & personality is severely overblown and annoying.

Btw, that torrent has been banned since the footage is scheduled for official release in the near future.

[gldstwmn]

I tivo'd it and watched it last night. It was a great show. I reaaly enjoyed it. Since I've never gotten to see her live this was the next best thing. How clever of her to incorporate the horse theme into it. She's still one hell of a performer. I thought it was ridiculous not to show the corss scene since they showed the cross itself later anyway.

[gldstwmn]

Aside from the numerous commercials, it was a great show.

That's the best thing about recording it. I just fast forwarded through them.

[Johnny Stew]

I like Madonna, but her ego & personality is severely overblown and annoying.I've never been a fan of her personality -- unlike Stevie, who I'm a fan of on both a personal and musical level.

Mind you, Madonna's done some great charitible work, and I applaud her for that -- she just seems to have such a cold, calculating side.
But I love her music, so I focus only on that.

[Johnny Stew]

By the way, I noticed a few Ledgies commenting on the footage of horses tripping, etc., and I meant to comment on that.
In case anyone's forgotten, Madonna was thrown from a horse shortly before the release of 'Confessions On A Dancefloor' in 2005, and broke several bones. The footage of the horses (and, for eagle-eyed viewers, footage of x-rays of broken bones) was a wink and a nod to her accident.

[ontheEdgeof17]

But I love her music, so I focus only on that.

I've always wondered about her music versus her writing skills. 9 times out of 10, she's listed as the main writer of her songs. To me, she doesn't seem like an artist who has the capability of writing lyrics and melodies. How much writing does she really do? We have never seen her working on lyrics or anything. :shrug:

To me, she doesn't seem like an artist who has the capability of writing lyrics and melodies. How much writing does she really do? We have never seen her working on lyrics or anything. :shrug:Despite rumours to the contrary, past collaborators like Stephen Bray, Shep Pettibone and Patrick Leonard have all sworn that Madonna definitely writes her own lyrics, and that she's a talented, intuitive songwriter.

Kind of like the relationship between Stevie and some of her co-writers, these guys have said that they usually brought an instrumental track (or the beginnings of one) to Madonna and she then wrote the lyrics... usually also offering additional ideas for the melody, structure, etc.
I imagine it's the same type of working relationship she has with more recent collaborators, like William Orbit, Mirwais and Stuart Price.

She has written several songs completely solo though... mostly early hits like "Burning Up," "Lucky Star," "Everybody" and "Gambler." After that, she started co-writing more and more, probably realizing the limitations of her own musical abilities (again, kind of like Stevie).

Then in other cases, she's taken a song written by someone else and re-worked the lyrics to fit her ("Open Your Heart," "Papa Don't Preach," "Justify My Love," "Ray Of Light," "Nothing Fails"), ultimately sharing songwriting credit with the original writer(s).

[JazmenFlowers]

speaking of Madonna...I have 2 requests:

1) does anyone have any of the Confessions concerts in mp3?

2) does anyone have the "Live To Tell" that was the B-side to "You'll See"?
