Madame X

I've been to a few Madonna concerts, I've watched the different tour films and bootlegs, and although I enjoyed the Madame X concert film more than the in-person show, I must admit it's lacking that Madonna vibrancy, that knowing smirk she gives when you can tell she's having fun. The Madame X song list relies heavily on the album of the same name, and although at times the concert feels more like an elevated jam session in someone's living room, it fails to reach those joyous peak moments of previous tours/concert films. It's not bad by any means, it's just not the kind of fun I'm used to from a Madonna show.

From track 1 to track 8 with the exception of Human Nature are kinda annoying (vocally, visually are amazing) but after track 8 everything gets much better till the end, i loved it.

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.

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.

Shiny and new. Totally different from her others shows, each song has a meaning a story a scenary and all its so entertaining you won t move during de 2 hours. Along the way the show gets better and better. Songs i didnt like so much on the album became my favorites. I would love to have seen it live. Enjoy every minute. A real artist that disturbed my life.
