Madonna Lip-Synching: Embarrassing Leak by Israeli Media
Eurovision 2019: Madonna accused of using playback…as Israeli media leak vocal rehearsal ahead of interval performance at the Grand Final
It’s a moment Eurofans have been waiting for. But Madonna‘s performance at the Grand Final of Eurovision 2019 has made headlines in Israel this morning for all the wrong reasons.
That’s because a journalist from Israeli outlet Israel Hayom has leaked what they claim is her live vocal from final rehearsals last night. The 2:27 clip published at 09:09am local time in Israel is taken from her rendition of “Like A Prayer”. That track of course celebrates a 30th anniversary in 2019.
The Israeli newspaper reports the vocal has “innacuracies” and suggests the star may have believed playback was being used: “In the recordings we receive, Madonna performs one of her greatest hits, “Like a Prayer,” with inaccuracies, to say the least. It is estimated that the singer, who in most of her performances relies on playback, did not know that her microphone was open and that it was being recorded.”
Israel Hayom reports screens had been turned off, but the sound system had been left running live. Production staff had been cleared from the arena to prevent visuals from leaking.

It'll be on playback during the main event anyway, so why was she even singing during the rehearsal?
And yes, this sounds pretty bad but nothing nearly as catastrophic as Taylor Swift and the like being caught during their actual performances. Again, she was singing for herself here.

i think Madonna needs a new management team.
This whole Madame X get up is overplayed (alter egos were done by so many pop stars before), her new "music" is trash and relies heavily on guest stars (who btw can't change the public's disinterest in Madonna), the interview ragging on her daughter, the nip slip (also done before), the ridiculous billboard performance where they honored one of her contemporaries, the theater tour to try to save face because she can't move tickets, and now this, it's all just so desperate.

With Jews you lose. Madonna has always been a philo-Semite, and helped promote Jewish mysticism/Kabbalah to the goyim.
Madonna played a huge role in promoting the Jewish goal of dramatically reducing Western birth rates, by trying as hard as she could to turn girls into whores.
She even agreed to perform in Israel when it was incredibly unpopular to do so, due to the Jewish supremacist ethno-state's slow-motion genocide of the natives.

I don't think it's because she's difficult r18. I think it was the gap between Girlie Show and Drowned World. DWT was more computer based and with each subsequent tour there have been less musicians. If you notice her tours nowadays, there is no band onstage whereas back in the '80s and early '90s, they were a big part of the musical direction and staging. Nowadays, occasionally you might get a piano player or someone playing a flamenco guitar. But it's mostly about the dancers and videos.

If Madonna wants to continue, she needs to make some MAJOR changes. She needs to fire Guy Oseary pronto. The man is ruining her career and last night's disaster should be a wake up call. She is equally to blame, though. They saw the millions. Since Guy has been her manager, she's released three of her least popular albums, and this Madame X nonsense looks to be no better.
Freddy DeMann would NEVER have allowed her to play Eurovision.
She needs to start listening to people and get better advice.

She's very limited vocally but there is a hazy vulnerable sound to her that I find entrancing. She has beautiful diction but a halting way of singing, with moments of graceful ethereal flow. It's very effective. A lot of previous poseurs were considered artists. We're lucky to have her in the current musical lanascape.

Madonna did extraordinary things with only a modicum of talent. Where that talent didn’t stretch she had youth, looks, style, intense ambition and a shrewd business sense. To marshal all that with such focus that she became such a huge star is in itself is remarkable. The odd thing was that beneath the phenomena she was always a less interesting artist than she thought. Now, the ideas are hackneyed and desperate and, given the way she moves, the body is clearly letting her down as well. She should never have done Eurovision. It’s tacky and I’ll deserving of her status, whatever you might think of her. But, clearly, her ego is so voracious she simply can’t let go.
I was never a fan. At all. I was convinced by flatmates, who were fans, to go and see that documentary when it came out and she was odious. But you couldn’t deny what she achieved. She came from nothing. So, it’s actually sad to see her destroying her legacy and becoming an object of ridicule. Blaming the manager is pointless. She has been responsible for her career throughout. The buck stops with her. If she just put on an elegant dress and sang a straightforward fucking song people would love her for it. Instead she insists on carrying on the pretentious pantomime nonsense. It’s the mad cat lady version of dad dancing.

Cher might not be the greatest singer either, but she has more talent than Madonna and a sense of humor, something Madonna is sorely lacking. Madonna always looks completely miserable.
Cher went from being rock singer with Sonny in the 1960s, on to a huge hit variety series with Sonny in the 1970s (where she did comedy sketches etc), then on to her Vegas years, then to an Oscar, then she had more hits as a solo artist.
Madonna might be extremely rich, but she'll never have the career Cher had. I'm not even a huge Cher fan, but I know all about her career because my mom was and still is a huge Cher fan.

To be honest I don't understand her. She's been a hugely successful performer for 30 years.

I don't know if I'm more embarrassed for her or for my 40 something gay friends who are ECSTATIC that they got the privilege to spend $1800 to see her sing this dreadful album live.

R111 Bruce Springsteen did a 236 show residency on Broadway, Madonna is playing a few dates here and there at a number of small capacity theaters. Bruce is sort of like Billy Joel - he will always sell out. Madonna certainly still has a fan base, but her theater shows are not selling out (all dates have plenty of tickets available) and these are small venues with limited number of dates. This, coupled with the complete disinterest in her new music, and the awful reviews her two televised performances received, I believe she would have some serious issues putting asses in seats for an arena show....a stadium tour is out of the question.

That was enough. I was a kid in the 1980s and I could take or leave her then. She always lacked Whitney Houston's vocal power and Cyndi Lauper's sense of style and fun. Even The Pointer Sisters' songs from this period aged better than anything in her repertoire. She's been dead to me ever since she both defended Eminem and did more damage to "American Pie" than even The Brady Bunch and their painfully untrained, under-rehearsed vocals against a superior non-synthesized arrangement that might have been more suitable to an actual singer like Petula Clark.
Seeing her embarrassed and hearing about the possibility of Britney Spears softens the blow of hearing about Ricky Schroder going to jail.

The "small capacity theaters" she is playing hold:
The Chicago Theatre = 3600 BAM Howard Gilman Opera House = 2600 The Wiltern = 1850 Fillmore Miami Beach at Jackie Gleason Theater = 3230 Boch Center - Wang Theatre = 3500 The Colosseum at Caesars Palace = 4298
I think she will sell them just fine to be honest.

[quote] She always lacked Whitney Houston's vocal power and Cyndi Lauper's sense of style and fun. Even The Pointer Sisters' songs from this period aged better than anything in her repertoire
Whitney was never a touring force, which is why she died broke, and she was not a great live singer. Cyndi and The Pointer Sisters are has-beens.
I'm not a big Madonna fan anymore, but she was the biggest female touring force in history. That is not debatable. She's old now and no longer relevant in pop music, but don't try to rewrite history.

It certainly didn't sound like she was lip syncing at Eurovision unless it's the new thing to sing off key.

exactly, doesn't mean she's selling any tickets, her team is hiding the sales. They will "adjust capacity" at each venue she plays to make it appear that she sells out.

She’s the wizard of oz. a no talent hack (bitch can’t sing) who has had her vocals fixed and sweetened for four decades. Even her “live” concert vocals are prerecorded and sweetened. Only a total sociopath could perpetuate a career like she has without feeling guilty and like a fraud. She’s a monster. She has the face she deserves.

I don't like her new stuff, I don't know that I like her personally, but there seems to be some people here who hate her with such a passion that no matter what facts are presented to them they still refuse to acknowledge that she's been successful and that this tour isn't going to be a massive flop. It's not very different than Trump voters.

That vocal coach doesn't explain anything about voice production, range, fach, intonation, resonance, anatomy or singing technique. She's a fraud. Vocal coaches do not use words like "pitchy." Or she "didn't quite hit the note." Ha. If you must watch vocal coach reviews online, at least watch an actual singer and knowledgeable coach. She's fun too.

R142 - That's actually not the problem. She has written plenty of her lyrics, and you can tell which ones: They are as short and simple as a 7th-grader's, which zero nuance. An example:
I don't like cities But I like New York Other places make me feel like a dork Los Angeles is for people who sleep Paris and London, baby you can keep Other cities always make me mad Other places always make me sad No other city ever made me glad Except New York I love New York I love New York I love New York If you don't like my attitude Then you can F off Just go to Texas Isn't that where they golf?

I think what happened is that Madonna hah hyper-gymnasia, which is a form of anorexia. She exercised off all of her fat, including her large breasts and her small butt. She has had breast implants for years and then got a set of ugly, boxy butt implants before her last tour. Now she has gigantic new butt implants.
She had that nasty fall from her horse in England that happened because her cell phone rang and spooked her horse. I think the her most recent fall where she was yanked backward down the stairs by her cape, really did aggravate the injury from the fall from the horse. Armani who designed the cape told her NOT to have the cape tie because it was asking for trouble. She fought him and got her way.
You have to factor in all of the steroids, fillers, HGH, Clenbuterol, Botox and who else knows what that she has taken over decades. They must have an effect on her health.
If it's true that she has psoriatic arthritis, she could be taking heavy-duty meds that have made her face balloon up . She's gained weight due to probably eating more in Portugal plus apparently drinking lots of champagne.
