MADONNA REWATCH PARTY #1: Blond Ambition Tour & Truth or Dare - 10th April (19:00 BST)

[Christian]

I bet she LOVED shoving Dames Niki & Donna under those VEILS

 

[Sheena]

Oooh, we LOVE A FOSSE NUMBER

She did mention him in her inspirations for the tour. You'll see that later on as well!

 

[POP!]

Not sure if I prefer the BAT rendition of LAV or Confessions. Both top notch.

 

[straightorbroken]

She should have just lip synced to these vocals at Tel Aviv last year.

 

[Alla]

Almost as good as what she did at Eurovision.

 

[Sheena]

Not sure if I prefer the BAT rendition of LAV or Confessions. Both top notch.

Confessions is fucking brilliant

 

[Christian]

I wonder if the vocals are the reasons she doesn't release this tour.

I thought it was something to do with the deal Pioneer had with the Laserdisc

Though I'm sure she could buy that out even IF it were true which it probably isn't

 

[straightorbroken]

I for one am nailing the choreo to this one next time I hear it out.

 

[Penelope]

When does she do Girl Gone Wild

 

[Christian]

These shots are TOO TIGHT

 

[Beverley]

Truly one of the greatest songs of all time. A spiritual experience

 

[Sheena]

I thought it was something to do with the deal Pioneer had with the Laserdisc

Though I'm sure she could buy that out even IF it were true which it probably isn't

It was back at the time but no way that can't be resolved now.

 

[Christian]

When does she do Girl Gone Wild

After Birthday Song, first encore

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh Confessions should be next in this new Suedey produced series.

 

[Christian]

Niki taking it to church

Donna making tea backstage

 

[Alla]

This was the inspiration for Sister Act.

 

[Sheena]

Truly one of the greatest songs of all time. A spiritual experience

On Reinvention, I hadn't read the setlist, I was in the front row on the right hand, push out of the stage "end" and she looked right into my face and sang "Let the Choir Sing", which is obviously the best bit, just as the big swell of the choir kicked in. I ENTIRELY burst into tears

 

[Beverley]

Is that Nikki with a HIJAB on?

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Naff vocals or not this is still the ULTIMATE performance of Like a Prayer

 

[lolly]

I'm going to have to dig the tour programme out later. EVERY FUCKING PAGE ICONIC

 

[Christian]

It's really only now that I'm realising how really OUT THERE this is for a major rock/pop concert

 

[Beverley]

LOVING THE CHOREO

 

[Christian]

I'm going to have to dig the tour programme out later. EVERY FUCKING PAGE ICONIC

I've still got my t-shirt!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Suedey Madonna fact: Like a Prayer is the only time I've touched her! (MDNA Tour)

 

[straightorbroken]

Niki really earning her stripes here. She must have been tempted to push Madge off the stage and keep going until dragged off herself.

 

[Sheena]

I'm going to dig out my BOOTLEG FROM THE TIME two disc vinyl

 

[Cerro de Casa]

LOVING THE CHOREO

I used to 'perform' this as a 10 year old

 

[Penelope]

Yet more MIDDLE EASTERN REFERENCES with whirling dervishes

She really IS going Islam

 

[lolly]

I think I wept with this transition

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Like A Virgin/Like A Prayer/Live To Tell/Oh Father

End.

 

[Beverley]

I used to 'perform' this as a 10 year old

REINACT IT FOR BOOK CLUB MEETING PLZ

 

[Alla]

Even when I LOVE Live to tell, fuck you Madonna, I started drinking and need another banger!!!!

 

[Penelope]

Where did our MATURE QUEENS see this live? Wembley? @lolly I presume was at Colston Hall

 

[Sheena]

OT: When it comes to Part 2, can we all have 5 mins break so we start at the same time or else we're going to be OUT OF SYNC

 

[Penelope]

OMG LIVE TO TELL

 

[Sheena]

Where did our MATURE QUEENS see this live? Wembley? @lolly I presume was at Colston Hall

HA!

I was at Wembley. The middle show I seem to recall.

 

[Lucille]

Oh god is this the first we’ve encountered of drunk Alla

 

[lolly]

Live To Tell was my favourite Madonna song until Like A Prayer. This was too much for an eighteen year old still pretending to like minge.

 

[Christian]

Since usurped by the disco cross version but I still find a lot to like here

It helps that the song is an absolute STUNNER

 

[Cerro de Casa]

OT: When it comes to Part 2, can we all have 5 mins break so we start at the same time or else we're going to be OUT OF SYNC

Good idea.
