WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME!!!

I’ve never left a concert before in my life! She sang 2 song and talked for 20 minutes about stupid shit that no one cares about. Very disappointed. The ac didn’t work it was extremely hot inside theatre.

1 STAR IF EVEN THAT

Madonna's show Sunday night 10/27/19 in Chicago was awful. She didn't even hid her lip-synching to the pre-recorded track she played. Show was pushed back to 10:30 p.m., she didn't come on until 11:30 p.m. I was out the door by 12:15 a.m. because I couldn't handle it! No wonder cell phones weren't allowed, she didn't want anyone to know how much she sucks! Who do I talk to about getting my money back?

FADED STAR

Madonna is still under the impression she is a popular start and accomplished musician. She is neither. She told the audience in San Francisco they were lazy, despite cheering her mediocre production. When she turned on the audience, the audience turned on her. Many people left early. Those who remained suffered through a shadow of her former luster.

UNBELIEVABLY HORRIBLE

There was so much wrong with this show. First, she did not take the stage until midnight, after leaving fans sitting in the theater without phones for an hour and a half. Then she opened a show IN VEGAS with imagery of a man being shot from a distance multiple times over the course of several minutes. This would have been disturbing in any venue, but in Vegas especially it was beyond disrespectful. As most other reviewers noted, she talked and talked and talked. And plenty of her talking was either unnecessarily crass, overly political (I’m at a concert, not watching cable news), or condescending and derogatory to the audience. At one point, she chastised us for not being energetic enough (we were tired. and annoyed). She did a weird bit where she tried to auction a Polaroid to the audience for thousands of dollars and complained that we were being “cheap” after people were literally handing over thousands in cash. Just don’t go. Madonna ruined Madonna for me. Go see Gaga instead.

AWFUL SHOW- UNINTELLIGENT WOMAN

What I witnessed was a washed up pill head using the concert as a political platform.. The worst “performance” I have ever witnessed. Lots of talking and rambling and not very much singing. She sang three and a half of her old songs.. and didn’t finish “Papa Don’t Preach” and instead choose to cut it short for a rant about the patriarcy. Apparently, NOBODY has the balls to let Madonna know that she putting on an awful show. They confiscate your phone at the door b/c if anyone leaked video of the show nobody would come to see a once great artist have a mental breakdown on stage. Her political gun control rant fell on deaf ears b/c she has armed security.

SO BAD

no energy. just boring. i was one of the many that left early. i wanted so much to LOVE this show, but it was SO BAD. why did sh come on so late? certainly not much of a show to mentally prepare for. she was a disrespectful mess.

EGO BEYOND MEASURE

Read all the other comments and can’t agree more. All it was was a platform for her to discuss her political agenda. More Ramblings than actual music. Very disappointing and a waste of money. Never was a huge fan of Madonna, but this event (not concert) made me not want to listen to her music ever again.
