Tbf, you can't sing and dance at the same time. Everyone who dances on stage lip syncs. Ever wonder why their live singing is indistinguishable from the radio singles?

Not to get too off Madonna topic, but this isn’t true at all. Although many kpop groups’ companies are fine with lip sync, a lot don’t. They’ll train vocals while on the treadmill, or while exercising and whatnot
E: but a few do have loud backtracks tbf

Yeah, and they are in their early 20s.

I was gonna say, I've been plucking my unibrow for damn near 20 years and if I stop for two weeks top I'm back to being Olga. Shit isn't fair man. (:_(

My eyebrows are very light, as I've said, both in coverage and in colour.

I don't know why all of a sudden I've got all these mutant hairs sprouting between my eyebrow and eyelid. They are completely colourless, they grow straight out instead of following the direction of my eyebrow hair, and they don't stop growing. Half the time I only find them when they're long enough to sit on my eyelashes and the contrasting colours finally make them visible. One of the fuckers was two centimetres long when I finally saw it!

The weirdest thing is that these invisible hairs are only above my right eye. I've never had one on the left. I'm seriously considering taking up waxing under my eyebrows because these little fuckers are giving me so much grief.

And some stores marketed them for pre-pubescent girls who barely had hips! I'll never forget when I was 8 and shopping for new clothes with my mom, they kept sliding off me in the Limited Too changing room! She really gave the manager a stern earful.

Fashion trends can be serious double-edged swords.

All you people saying Ray of Light was her last good album as if Confessions on a Dancefloor doesn't exist should be ashamed.

Confessions got buried by clear channel and by MTV ceasing to play music videos so a lot of Madonna fans who are casuals probably don't even know it exists.

I remember when "Hung Up" was a single where Madonna is dancing in a leotard, and VH1 had some sort of "week in pop culture" show and I remember them featuring a clip of this song with the announcer saying something about Madonna shaking her "old ass".

Even back then, people were all, "Isn't she a little old for this?"
 
Ray of Light was what people would expect from a pop star who was getting older - more mature themes and production but could still make hits. Confessions was her pretending to be 20 years younger than she was. She went back to that well after American Life was a flop*. The lesson she took from the early and mid 2000s was that she should pretend to be in her 20s for the rest of her life, which of course made her look more and more ridiculous as she got older.

* - American Life was a flop because people didn’t want to get lectured by Madonna of all people, especially since this was the era when she had her phony Bri’ish accent.

Ray of Light was pretty good and was fitting for the transition into an older and more dignified Madonna. Shame she thought prancing around like an early 20s teenybopper was the way to stay 'relavant.'

Her fans are getting older. I doubt many of them want a 60+ year old Madonna trying to dress and act younger then some of their grandchildren.

You'd be surprised. Maybe women who used to be her fans, but most of the old gays and millenial gays who still keep up with her think her antics at this age are stunning and brave.

I can see how gay guys desperate to not get old can latch on to that

IMHO, I thought it was really weird to have her in this campaign. I know they wanted someone that has changed a lot throughout the years, but it would be far more interesting to have a 100% Brazilian cast.

Americans may want authentic brazilian experience, but for brazilians getting a famous american is a far bigger status symbol than getting some locals.

Oh yeah. Us Brazilians love to kiss some gringo ass. The thing is that the bank is 100% Brazilian and always says that is proud of that. To celebrate 100 years with an American is kinda... Meh. But that's not really important.
The structures for her show at Copacabana beach has arrived and most, if not all, hotels are booked. Some places are charging hundreds for a good view. People will be so pissed off if she arrives 2 hours late.
 
According to UOL (link is in Portuguese), Madonna is complaining about lack of privacy, the heat and even the Sun.
Girl, you are in Brazil, specially in Rio de Janeiro, and you think you're going to get mild temperatures? Give me a break

She'd like it moved a trifle further away, because she's been an ultra-coddled ultra-celebrity for decades and her brain is thus fried.

She's hosted at Copacabana Palace with several private rooms, it's not like she's at some shitty hostel without AC on. It's right in front of the beach and where the stage was built. That hotel is one of the most prestigious in Rio de Janeiro.
Not only that, but when you go to a place like Rio fucking de Janeiro you pray for sun so you can enjoy the beach and overall culture (while trying to avoid getting robbed and shot lmao). Many artists extend their stay in Brazil just to enjoy the beach. She's a fucking pain in the ass.

On another note, people are already moving to see the show and it's one of my favorite photos of the commute:

I’m more shocked that the one man that looked like he has no pants on would never get fined or get arrested for indecent exposure. Is it lazy for him to not wear underwear?
