I just finished watching this so I thought I would WRITE MY OPINIONS and perhaps KICKSTART SOME DISCUSSION ON OLD SCHOOLish POP
BEAUTIFUL POLE DANCING TITS at the beginning, what a STRONG OPENING with Erotica. I'm not gonna lie,
it moved quite a bit. *O*
Vogue was pretty boring too in this tour, everything was just so blase and had no where near as much impact as what she did on previous shows. Fever was also incredibly underwhelming and she did this absolutely FRIGHTENING shoulder dance move that made me nauseous.
Rain is a really boring song and did nothing for me at all. Express Yourself seemed to be the start of a second act that looked a lot more disco and a lot more kitsch/cheesy than the more EROTIC/SEXY opening. She also seemed a lot NICER this show, the tone of the whole thing seemed to be a lot more happier - people might understand what I mean if you compare her Blond Ambition Express Yourself to The Girlie Show's Express Yourself. Deeper and Deeper was an incredibly GAY and OVER THE TOP performance but I guess it seemed to suit the song but then that OBVIOUS ORGY at the end was also quite hot.
It moved AGAIN and then continued on through the rest of the act. It was literally a HOT MESS.
Some weird DANCE INTERLUDE and then we get some MARLENE DEITRICH inspired LIKE A VIRGIN. I like the way she mixes it up with this song but the middle eastern inspired version she played on Blond Ambition still remains my favourite. BYE BYE BABY - what kind of LIP SYNC.
La Isla Bonita is not really one of my favourite Madonna songs and the performance here didn't change my opinion at all. The military rendition of Holiday also seemed AWKWARD for such a carefree song >_>
The encore of Justify My Love made me a huge fan of the song though, no idea why, it was just GUD but I was surprised that the performance itself was nowhere near as risque as the video clip - and that seems to be the "thing" Madonna does with her performances in her early days. It was nice to see her wearing Aussie colours at the end. TOO BAD SHE WOULD ABANDON AUSTRALIANS FOR THE NEXT TWENTY YEARS.
Of all the tours I've watched this far, this one has definitely been the sexiest and has definitely MOVED MORE BLOOD than the others but for some reason Madonna looks her UGLIEST. The interludes in particular were much better thought out than Blond Ambition, actually looking like interludes rather than awkward shuffles where Madonna leaves while people keep dancing.
Really weird how the setlist was so short and was missing so many of her "hits" too.
Lucky Star? Material Girl? Dress You Up? Who's That Girl? Papa Don't Preach? Live To Tell? True Blue? Open Your Heart?
LIKE A FUCKING PRAYER?, Cherish?
Such a weird tour with a small set list and I see it had very few dates - why is that?
DROWNED WORLD NEXT.
I'm on mobile rn but you should check out :Lay It On Me, Motivation, Commander. Just a few of her singles.
