lmao can't listen right now what did she say pls

She was mostly positive but said that having a nosejob has made Madonna’s voice more nasal.

Since when is she also an honest cosmetic surgeon?

 

I was watching a couple of her videos a few weeks ago and none of them had to do anything with honest vocal coachNESS. I assume she is one of the elder women who considers successful women with money and sex appeal a danger to her own consciousness. Her content has really gone downhill. Bless her.

how was it bestie?

 

oh hell nawr and we got that random model that didnt even bother taking his shirt off 

Right I’m fuming

[Club classic]

It’s hard to summarize the thrill of the past two days but this has been some of the happiest moments of my life. Feeling two incredible crowds coming together to celebrate my first fave’s career that has been part of my life since my childhood was truly amazing. As a younger fan I felt like her music connected all of us, I danced with people my age and twice my age. 

 

Day 1 was resricted view tickets (balcony 1) but my view was literally amazing?  The screen only blocked the view probably 5% of the time. Day 2 was standing A tickets and I got to front row, I don’t even know how I got there it just happened.  

 

She was amazing, the show truly felt like a celebration of her highs and lows. And that was the show’s beauty, it acknowlegeded both the good and bad of her life. The setlist is perfect, she has performed almost all of my favorite songs, Bad Girl, Bedtime Story, Live To Tell to name a few, I only missed Get Together tbh  I sang and danced through both shows, I’m so happy I went to Portugal, the mid crowds from where I’m from (Central Eastern Europe) could never. This is the energy I have and need on a show.   She was so incredibly close to me and I once looked right into her eye and she into mine, Estere also waved back to me.

 

To summarize, if you’re thinking about watching this show, it’s a must! It was my third and fourth time seeing her this week but worth every penny.

I hope there will be a second European leg next year, I need to see this a few more times

Sounds amazing, wish I could see her, but her concert tickets were insanely expensive, and this might be her last tour so cool you already went 4 times.

how was it bestie?

It was very fun but the screens blocking the view were annoying

I was on the left side on Balcony 1 so I couldn't see her for like 2 or 3 whole songs

[allforyou]

The show last night was absolutely GLORIOUS  The show's production is truly next level, my jaw dropped in some moments

 

I also loved her energy, she was so positive and interacted really well with the audience

 

It was my first time seeing her and the tickets were worth every penny 

[xokuba]

I am scared that my Collector's ticket won't arrive in time.

How many days before the show do they usually get shipped?

Fans who have seen Celebration already.. where would you place it among her tours? 

[tiagol88]

So...i've been gone for the past few days. Just got home from Lisbon and i'm still digesting everything i saw on Monday and Tuesday.  

This show was emotional for me for a few reasons, so some context: This was Madonna's 5th tour in Portugal...and the first time she repeats a type of venue. 

Believe it or not, the first time she performed here was in 2004 for the RIT (arena). She then performed in 2008 for the S&S Tour (park), then in 2012 for MDNA tour (stadium), and last time was in theaters for Madame X. 

 

When i was approaching that arena on Monday to see her perform i realized something: the last time i watched a show in there was...Madonna's RIT back in 2004. I was 16 years old and a closeted gay. It was the first time i was in the middle of the LGBT community and i went to that show with my dad and sister. That day basically changed my life. First time seeing a huge star in front on me, the moment i knew who my fave would be for the rest of my life. I was so starstruck that i barely remember much from that show. My dad was screaming hysterically is something i'll never forget tho, lmao. This was before social media, so huge stars would leave us starstruck like that. I also remember one thing: people in the audience saying that would be Madonna's last tour since it was basically a greatest hits tour and she getting old and wouldn't be doing that for a lot longer. This was in 2004. 

 

Fast forward to 2023 and here i am again, an adult, with a paycheck, gay, approaching that same arena, this time for 2 Madonna shows in a row. First day i watched the show from the balcony with a friend. The show was just amazing. My friend knew she would like it but not this much. She was shook the entire time. It's hard to put into words what's like to see Madonna performing live and why she's worth it even if she doesn't dance like before, but it's a bit of everything: her vocals are better than in many of her previous tours, her personality shines through, you feel drawn to her whether she's alone or with a troupe of dancers with her on stage. She just has that old school star power no one really has anymore. Her confidence is also still incredibly high for someone that was in a hospital bed just 4 months ago. Also, it feels like she's really enjoying herself on stage. This isn't just a job to her for real.

 

She also dances like hell for a 65 year old. Some performances that on video look mediocre, ended up as my favorites: The entire section from Erotica to Justify My Love was basically art. On video i hated all of that. The first section is fun and it all just flows so well as well. Die Another Day was incredible from the balcony. Seriously...the staging, choreo, etc...one of the highlights. She danced a lot more on ***** I'm Madonna than i expected right at the end of the show as well. Her speeches were heartfelt and she was clearly moved with the audience in front of her. Sodade was unexpected and so was her leg without any protection. She was feeling confident as HELL on lisbon day 1. You can watch videos online to see what i'm talking about. The audience on fire probably helped as well.

 

On night 2 i was inside the golden circle...and i was literally on row 2. She literally passed by me multiple times and was like 3 or 4 meters away from me. It was surreal to see her so close to me. On this night i went with 2 gay friends, younger than me (gen z friends) who have no huge knowledge of her career but wanted to see her live. I actually bought one of those tickets for one of those friends. They were mindblown. We're talking about gays in their mid 20's here. They left the arena singing Burning Up, lmao. 

Madonna looked a bit more tired than the day before and she apologized for the technical problems the day before...and all i could think about was "wtf is she talking about?" i really can't remember a single thing going wrong the day before except her failing those notes on Mother & Father. This right here is why she's still the best one at this: it's all about the details. Even when something simple and little fails she feels like she needs to apologize...we're talking about mistakes the audience doesn't even realize (or barely). Anyway, this show was perfect once again. Watching her performing Hung Up right there in front of me and spinning around with the audience at her feet was honestly moving. It also made me realize just how fast time goes by...Hung Up released 18 years ago. Like...how did that happen so fast? Vogue is also such a moment. Everyone is having so much fun for those 10 minutes. The arena was on fire and once Stella did her thing even i was almost crying, lmao. Madonna looked really proud as well. 

 

Watching the show closer than the day before, i ended up catching certain parallels that moved me and even something like Mother & Father made sense to me. 

Madonna looking up at her mother's picture...and later in the show, during La isla Bonita she's looking up...but looking at David: (both my pics)

 

 

 

4 months ago she was in a hospital bed and now she's performing with most of her kids and even the ones not performing have been on stage at one point or another. Madonna is happy because she's living the life. The show is a part of her. It's her life, her kids are with her, she's in a good place with all of them. It all comes from a place of love. And Madonna is happier than ever. You can tell. Something shifted when she was in that hospital bed. She seems appreciative in a way she never was before.  

 

Most moments on this tour are so carefully planned that everything looks good in pictures. It's creepy how so thought out every detail is. It's literally art. 

 

The show does have its flaws. It's weird how halfway through it the show just forgets its own timeline after the 90's and it's all over the place. I simply forgive her cause everything is just so good all the time, lmao. 

 

As i was leaving the arena yesterday after the last show...i was overwhelmed for one reason. I went from being a shy closeted 16 year old kid to an adult leaving with 2 gay friends almost 2 decades later. And as if this wasn't enough, one of my friends said something familiar to me: "This is her last tour. She won't be doing this forever" and starts laughing. When he said that, i remember when i heard those exact same words: The people i mentioned before from the RIT in 2004 when i was also leaving that very same arena. People were saying that 19 years ago. That means my friend who's now 23, was 4 years old when people were already predicting Madonna to be doing her last tour in front of me...and here she is, doing a show like this one for that friend of mine.

 

We truly don't deserve her. We're incredibly lucky to have her still doing all this at her age and with the same perfectionist, love, dedication and passion as she has ever done. 

 

Now i'm about to die from exhaustion. It's almost 5 am and i'm going to sleep 3 weeks. If anyone managed to read all of this thank you. 

 

If you're going to see her on this tour, you won't regret it.

Everyone is having so much fun for those 10 minutes. The arena was on fire and once Stella did her thing even i was almost crying, lmao. Madonna looked really proud as well. 

 

Watching the show closer than the day before, i ended up catching certain parallels that moved me and even something like Mother & Father made sense to me. 

Madonna looking up at her mother's picture...and later in the show, during La isla Bonita she's looking up...but looking at David: (both my pics)

 

 

 

4 months ago she was in a hospital bed and now she's performing with most of her kids and even the ones not performing have been on stage at one point or another. Madonna is happy because she's living the life. The show is a part of her. It's her life, her kids are with her, she's in a good place with all of them. It all comes from a place of love. And Madonna is happier than ever. You can tell. Something shifted when she was in that hospital bed. She seems appreciative in a way she never was before.  

 

Most moments on this tour are so carefully planned that everything looks good in pictures. It's creepy how so thought out every detail is. It's literally art. 

 

The show does have its flaws. It's weird how halfway through it the show just forgets its own timeline after the 90's and it's all over the place. I simply forgive her cause everything is just so good all the time, lmao. 

 

As i was leaving the arena yesterday after the last show...i was overwhelmed for one reason. I went from being a shy closeted 16 year old kid to an adult leaving with 2 gay friends almost 2 decades later. And as if this wasn't enough, one of my friends said something familiar to me: "This is her last tour. She won't be doing this forever" and starts laughing. When he said that, i remember when i heard those exact same words: The people i mentioned before from the RIT in 2004 when i was also leaving that very same arena. People were saying that 19 years ago. That means my friend who's now 23, was 4 years old when people were already predicting Madonna to be doing her last tour in front of me...and here she is, doing a show like this one for that friend of mine.

 

We truly don't deserve her. We're incredibly lucky to have her still doing all this at her age and with the same perfectionist, love, dedication and passion as she has ever done. 

 

Now i'm about to die from exhaustion. It's almost 5 am and i'm going to sleep 3 weeks. If anyone managed to read all of this thank you. 

 

If you're going to see her on this tour, you won't regret it.

This is so heartfelt, thank you for sharing your experience. Glad you had a great time!
