POOR PERFORMANCE

Looking forward to seeing madonna for over a year, it was a huge disappointment. She talked more than she sung. We spent alot of money on these tickets and ended up leaving early. Such a disappointment

MADONNA IN MIAMI SUNDAY 7TH

Like many others, looking forward so much to hearing all the greats that we grew up with, wasn't that the point? Seems it was lost somewhere, many songs were unrecognizable, many of the classics not even performed (like a virgin was played for about 30 secs and she was nowhere to be seen!), she ranted on about social issues for an inordinate amount of time (was Miami bored she asked - YES we were!). I thought the extreme heat was a problem of the airco but found out she had deliberately turned it off, so UNCOMFORTABLE. And yes she arrived at 10.20 for a concert scheduled for 8.30... on a Sunday night! of course people walked out early.

DISAPPOINTED IN A SHOW I SO LOOKED FORWARD TO

She didn’t play any of the songs that made her famous. She started to sing a few, the audience would cheer like crazy and then she’d switch up to some other song that was unknown. We kept waiting for one of her old hits but it never happened. And the bass was awful! I had to plug my ears for several songs - it was like when that car pulls up to you and the bass is too high and you feel the thumping throughout your body. Awful! Same as the other reviews, she started late and it was hot in the venue. We were lucky that she didn’t talk too much for this show and the dancers were entertaining but for the amount I spent on tickets this was such a disappointment. I’ve seen a lot of the older artists and they always play their old hits. That’s what people come to see. Don’t waste your money on this one.

DISAPPOINTED

Monday night in Austin. My original ticket was on a Friday. The concert was hot AF!! Madonna can’t sing unless it’s 80 f’ing something degrees. I will NEVER attend anything related to Madonna again -EVER!! I’m 53and was so looking forward to this show and it just a fell so flat. I was embarrassed that I bought the tickets. Its1am and I’m home in bed wishing I would’ve saved that shite load of cash!! My Madonna fascination is done.

DISRESPECTFUL BRAT

It was bad enough that it was 80 degrees inside the venue, worse that she was 2 hours late, just because. On top of that, the Moddy Center won't let you go outside so instead you have to sweat and spend $20 on a drink. It was a very odd show that tried to be one part career retrospective and one part edgy and controversial. The sound was off several times, It if weren't for her catalog of hits, this would have been one huge dumpster fire.

SWEAT AND LOW ENERGY

The DJ warmup act started at 8:30 pm and ended at 9:30. Madonna didn't come out until after 10:30. The arena was miserably hot, everyone sweating and complaining - great way to start a show. Madonna simply didn't bring it... she just "phoned it in." She had low energy and didn't appear to be excited or enthused about the show. It felt like she was just going through the motions thinking her legacy would be enough to get her through the show. No band, just a sound track including vocals. She did sing and sounded pretty good at times. But the bass was cranked and distorted and overpowered any vocals. She talked too much, explained her show in too much detail with lots of repetition. Theatrical transitions took way too long breaking the flow of the show. Many of her songs were truncated. Lighting, projections, dancers, etc were great but seemingly wasted on a lackluster musical performance.

TERRIBLE SHOW

This was the worst concert I have ever been to. You could not even call it a concert, it was Madonna talking, other people singing, poor poor show. Completely disappointed. Want my money back. We actually left early it was so bad.
