I can't figure out if this whole Madonna on World Tour reminds me of the Sex Pistols arriving in the States in 1978 or the post 2011 Japanese earthquake.
There's a lot of junk in the trunk headed this way and it's nearly impossible to determine if it's Diva luggage or typical Material Girl trash.
Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious were held up at the Boarderline due to not being True Blue. Their bad criminal records put them Into the Groove of getting totally popped out of gear by Vogue lawyers with Papa Don't Preach attitudes. Once allowed to Cherish, I can understand why the Sex Pistols didn't Thank Their Lucky Stars; the Punk Rockers were sent to the deep south of America. And I'm not talking about La Isla Bonita. Like a Prayer Rotten and Vicious were able to Live to Tell. Which proved to be a Holiday for Disco haters. They'd been waiting to Dress You Up in something other than spandex and platform shoes.
For the love of God that paragraph alone features more trash than the Japanese stash of tires, wooden doors and everything else egg roll dining and dancing in the Pacific O.
Madonna's been making slinging headlines since the moment rumors of a tour began to fly. She's verbally abused Lady Gaga, Elton John and the Russian Government for sending members of a punk band behind the curtain to prison for doing something she's gotten away with since being invented in the 80's.
Is there anybody expecting anything less? The girl might be a mess but damn if she doesn't have the balls to impress.
Once you step away from the masterminding socially networked headlines hounds punching text messages into the rumor factor there's no doubt in clouds that Madonna's blind ambition is full sight packed with a fight.
Her shows don't suddenly come from out of nowhere. No matter how many times you've played truth or dare the wisdom of music's most brilliant master of reinvention has every intention of hiring the right people for the right job and by God her performance is gonna "F-ing" rock.
So...as Madonna re-enters the States for a tour that's everything but fake. I share with you a hookup to a video that fully exposes the roses of hype scented with what happens when greatness is achieved while over succeeding.
Rollingstone Magazine's Colleen Nika writes: Madonna's enormously successful MDNA tour, slated to hit Yankee Stadium in New York twice next week, arguably features her most ambitious stage costumes to date. The dramatic gender-bending looks for the singer and her cadre of dancers push design conventions to their limits, with the cantilevering, crystalline, patent-leather footwear alone worth a hundred editorials. In this backstage tour video by Swarovski, whose glimmering gems adorn Madge's costumes an astounding 315,000 times, you can appreciate the exhaustive breadth of the MDNA design aesthetic.
In the behind-the-scenes footage, wardrobe supervisor Lana Czajka explains that preparation for each evening's show begins at 9 a.m., when 30 racks of clothes are steamed, pressed and retouched. "Most of our sparkle happens during 'Vogue,'" she notes, pointing to a noirish collection of Venetian masks, top hats and riding crops. An extremely impressive, armored chainmail look containing thousands of micro-crystals provides a true spotlight moment, as does the jeweled MDNA tee featured in the "Celebration" finale.
Such meticulous detailing befits a pop queen like Madonna. "She is involved with everything," head dresser Tony Villanueva emphasizes. "She has final say."
Are you ready for the video?
So cool!
