MADONNA REWATCH PARTY #2: The Girlie Show Tour - 8PM Friday 17 April (20:00 BST)

Now I love the homoEROTICA of this version but of The Beast Within but let's face it, it's all about Reinvention Tour intro ...
 
As much as it's kinda hamfisted, it comes over as completely sincere and she didn't have to put it in the live show so there's a statement of sorts just in that decision.

And judging it nearly thirty years on is never going to be fair anyway.

For some cultural perspective, Don't Ask Don't Tell was just about to be implemented.
 
I remember being UPSET seeing this meant we wouldn't get Justify My Love live...
 
I remember coming in my pants when The Beast Within started

So far both shows appear to be really of their time. Having been saturated by disco wigs and hot pants, that section looked really cheap, but it's definitely not fair to judge it so harshly 30 years on
 
WHAT'S THIS SHIT?
Madonna reciting from the Book of Revelations, sampling a traditional Arabic Christian hymn about the resurrection (with bits of "Justify Love"), whilst homosexualists are getting it on BUT WITH MESSAGE & MEANING AND STUFF.


In other words: a SOLID 11/10 moment.

In fairness, it was a massively expensive show for its time. But 30 years on, of course it looks cheap.

You have to remember they are stadium shows too, which makes a difference.
 
The Beast Within may well be in my Madonna top ten. Top twenty for sure.
 
That was terrible, there'd better be an absolute banger now or I'm offski.
 
I am not much for hamfisted interpretive dancing but the rest was MARVELLOUS
