MADONNA: Impressive Instant (Live 💙 Staples Center, Los Angeles)

The performances of Material Girl on the first 3 tours always had something ironic and funny. For the Re-Invention Tour, Madonna's image was changed completely. No glamourous diva in pink Monroe dress; instead we saw a rock chick in army gear who had strapped on her electric guitar. This version totally rocked! Madonna pretended not remembering the words and asked the audience to sing along and help her out with the lyrics. The video and TV screens showed all mathematical equations and pictures of Albert Einstein (which was probably created for I'm So Stupid that got replaced by Material Girl).

The announcement that Madonna would be paying tribute to Prince at the Billboard Music Awards caused no shortage of controversy -- perhaps understandably. After all, Prince was probably the greatest musical genius of his generation; while Madonna is a phenomenal talent at many things, her chops as a musician are maybe not at the top of that list.

But the tribute is much more fitting than it might seem to some. More than any other music stars, the two defined the ‘80s, and they enjoyed a kind of frenemy relationship that saw them collaborating several times over the years and hanging out even more -- the most recent time that we know of was a late-night private concert at Paisley Parkin October that was attended by around 60 people, about half of whom were Madonna and her entourage, when she was in Minnesota on her Rebel Heart tour. 

And while just one song has emerged from their brief period of collaboration around the time of Madonna's Like a Prayer album ("Love Song," although it's Prince's guitar you hear at the start of "Like a Prayer"), it wasn't for lack of trying: There's reportedly a Prince-produced version of "Like a Prayer" out there somewhere, and Madonna was originally slated to costar in Prince's ultimately disastrous 1990 feature film Graffiti Bridge.

Madonna knew enough to go to an expert for some words of praise: Questlove, drummer of the Roots, musical director of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, lifelong Prince fan, expert (he's taught a course on Prince's music at New York University) and occasional collaborator. "All of us live in the land of music, and his departure from it was an earthquake," he said, before making some comical remarks about "every time we hear a scream [he let out a squeak]... every time we see a yellow suit with the rear cut out..."

Prince's full "Let's Go Crazy" spoken intro played as the lights came up on a purple throne with its back to the audience -- it slowly turned around to reveal Madonna, wearing a flawless suit clearly in homage to the ones Prince wore on the 1984-85 Purple Rain tour, with a cross hanging from her wrist and holding a cane, which Prince did in his last few years, including his performance at the 2013 BBMAs.

The music deftly shifted to "Nothing Compares 2 U," which Madonna sang in Sinead O'Connor's arrangement -- accompanied by a string quartet, two singers, two keyboardists and a vaguely trap drum machine -- playing it safe and nailing most of the notes. Tears were visible in her eyes by the end of the first verse. 

She finished the song -- and then, in a surprise, Stevie Wonder joined her onstage for a coda of the chorus from "Purple Rain." Purple spotlights criss-crossed the arena as the crowd waved illuminated purple wristbands in time with the song, with Wonder leading a gospel-inflected a cappella breakdown of the chorus as the cameras panned to audience members, many of them in tears. 

Stevie thanked Madonna, Madonna thanked Stevie, and then said, "And most of all, thank you Prince Rogers Nelson, for all that you have given us." It was a perfect ending to a moving tribute.

On MADONNA's birthday, the fans were those who receive a birthday gift - from her! 

To celebrate her 60th birthday, Madonna has shared a professional recording of her amazing performance at the 2018 Met Gala. During the event in May, Madonna performed Like A Prayer (with a Girl Gone Wild intro similar to the MDNA Tour) and a cover of Hallelujah. She also premiered a small part of the new song "Beautiful Game" a.k.a "Dark Ballet" (what is the official title & what's on her new album "Madame X").

Madonna never stops reinventing herself. And tonight, at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards, the Queen of Pop lifted the veil on her latest persona, Madame X, for the first time live.

Performing her new dancehall-inflected track 'Medellín' alongside Colombian reggaeton singer Maluma, the 60-year-old singer's lips were painted crimson and her peroxide lengths styled into retro pin-curled waves, a bedazzled X-emblazoned eye patch obscuring one eye. And while there was lots going on above the neck, it was Madge's perfectly toned legs that ultimately stole the show. 

Doing the #MedellinChaChaChaChallenge, which she announced on Twitter yesterday, her garter and fishnet tights-clad legs looked as sculpted as ever as she danced the cha cha cha with sultry allure. Said to be the handiwork of circuit, interval, and resistance training, her hard-won physique is evidence enough that enviable limbs are achievable at any age.

Demonstrating that she's still got the best legs in the business while having as much fun as she wants, Madonna remains an iconoclastic disrupter who just keeps defying expectations.

Madame X

MADONNA & MALUMA: Medellín (Live ❌ Billboard Music Awards 2019)

Madonna's much-anticipated appearance at the Eurovision Song Contest in Israel has drawn a mixed response from viewers.

The star sported a black cape and eyepatch during her performance of 1989 hit "Like A Prayer", another exclusive snipped of "Dark Ballet" and a new pre-sell track "Future", featuring US rapper Quavo from her new upcoming studio album "Madame ❌" out in 6/14/19.

Madonna defied calls from activists to cancel her appearance in Tel Aviv.

But organisers said the inclusion of Israeli and Palestinian flags in the show was not approved in advance.

Two of her dancers - each wearing a respective flag - walked arm in arm.

"In the live broadcast... two of Madonna's dancers briefly displayed the Israeli and Palestinian flags on the back of their outfits," a statement from the organisers said following the contest.

"This element of the performance was not part of the rehearsals which had been cleared," it added. "The Eurovision Song Contest is a non-political event and Madonna had been made aware of this."

While some criticised her decision to make a statement, others praised her for using her large platform to make a point.

Her most rock-ready song got an even more fiery performance on the Rebel Heart Tour. After the one-two punch of Iconic & Bitch I'm Madonna, her Joan of Arc costume extensions are replaced by a kickass electric guitar and Madonna blows up the house with her second single. Aided by rocking guitar licks and images of flames in the background Madonna continues to go hard and freaky until it's time for some Holy Water to put her off and quench her desire.
