Madonna last night at Red Rooster in New York City

She sang on the street

Who?

Isn't she some sort of nostalgia act from the 80s?

Some old white lady, R2.

Another clip

Mistake

She tries so hard to appear to be doing things that are "authentic" or "organic," but that's just the problem. You never really believe that any of it is spontaneous, or that she's actually having what we would call "fun" doing it. There's something almost robotic about her these days.

She can afford a better wig.

La Isla

Dark Ballet?

What song is it?

She's much shorter than I'd realized

I read this as "Madonna last night at Red Lobster in NYC" -- which was far less surprising.

Awww. Just like the homeless busker she is at heart.

She looks old here

R8 looks like karaoke in a bowling alley lounge.

Oh dear

Well, that's nice. Part time work is often helpful for senior citizens.

R14 - Just here?!!

Red Rooster is so overrated. I guess she thinks she’s very edgy being in Harlem the home of James Baldwin her lifelong inspiration.

[quote] James Baldwin her lifelong inspiration.

She'll never suck as many dicks as he did. At 63, she's barely caught up to Billy Porter.

The heck with her. Who's the hat-wearing guy with the beard @ R9?

Max! The cameras! You just know in (what's left of) her mind she was performing in a 90,000 seat stadium with everybody standing and screaming how wonderful and young and relevant and beautiful and original and young and beautiful and talented and young, she is.

Excessively age inappropriate.

Looks sad

Why did no one attack her when she walked on the street like that?

I cannot get past that pot belly she's hauling around on those thunder thighs.

Jesus, Madge. Put down the cream sauce.

I don’t think her legs look bad. Better to have thunder thighs at 63 than chicken legs.

^ But I do think she needs a new stylist.

None of it was enjoyable. Mouldy old hits sung flat as she teeters on stillettoes. And those awful, forgettable songs from the last 3 albums. You find yourself hoping she just doesn't fall over.

Isn't her thing big Vegas-style production numbers? Not cabaret chanteuse.

Maybe she's going for a 21st century Mae West look.

Trash. Damn trash.

The poor thing can't even walk across a stage without holding onto things and staggering. I've heard better vocals at a bowling alley bar karaoke night.

She's redefining getting older in the public eye. She's always been a trendsetter and a master at bringing edgy trends into the mainstream.

She's not doing what is expected of her. She's going down some very bold territory.

"Going down" + Madonna. That's not news.

That is one busted-ass wig.

She appears to have gone completely batshit insane.

I know it's been said to death on here, but the bitch has fully become Norma Desmond.......

[quote] "I read this as "Madonna last night at Red Lobster in NYC" -- which was far less surprising."

Same, R12! Today: Red Rooster. Tomorrow: Red Lobster.

She used to be fanatical about her fitness. Her diet was so restrictive and it showed (wasn’t a fan of the veiny body builder arms but she was fit) so what happened in the past year to go full on Drag version of herself? Not to mention her GUNT resembles a Fanny pack.

Actually, I think she is being authentic. I think she is performing as someone who isn't entirely sure what they are doing in a world that really has sort of gone off the rails.

She really has turned into Norma Desmond, as the above poster mentioned. Like many Dataloungers, it's always 1987 in Madonna's world and she's still young, hip and hot.

"I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. Bianchi!"

She don't have that swing. Wish she would've nailed it with a quieter, jazzy combo: piano, snare drum and upright bass. I do like the parade in the street part. But musically... It's unconfident.

I admire Madonna for the fact that she’s always being herself. Authenticity! No replication! She seems happy again and I truly hope her next album is fun and inspiring. The world is so fucked up right now so Madonna’s new music is always a healing touch

She reminds me of Jessica Foxx and Cookie Gomez who were mainstay drag performers at La Escuelita, except not as polished...or pretty.

Coming next to a bingo hall near you!

^^Funny!

In her defense, she probably did far worse things on a regular basis in the streets in her past than singing.

Red Rooster is a low brand copy of KFC in Australia.

That's all.

Red Rooster sounds like either a dive bar or a Cracker Barrel type restaurant franchise.

R13 She's paying tribute to her alleged NYC roots. "I had only $35 in my pocket, nowhere to go and a dream." 😑

Don’t ever tell me to stooooopppppp 😩

R51 Wouldn't be surprised if Rocco snaps, forges her will and whacks her to death with a stop sign and makes it look like an accident.

Only 6 people watching that Instagram live. Yikes.

She’s turned herself into an albino Lil Kim.

But I still love her.

r52 that would be the best Dateline episode ever!

The fact that she sang like a prayer on the street instead of one of her new songs proves she's only doing this for attention. She's mentioned before in interviews that she hates singing her old hits because she's tired of them and she wants to move forward.

Just listened to the entire live album. 4 & 1/2 ⭐️ out of 5. I had doubts but fortunately was not disappointed at all. Love every song on it.

She’s killing her legacy with her desperate attempts for relevancy. She can be Madonna the Pop Icon but not go all out “2021 pop star”, she has the fake ass, plastic face and diamond grillz. It’s embarrassing and painful to watch her ruin herself. She’s 63 but she’s desperately seeking youthfulness. Her “I Like Opiates” ‘confession’ on Fallon was pathetic. And the “I invented masturbation on stage” comments were like someone trying to find a shocking word to use to get people to gasp. No one gives a toss that she sticks herself. We’re more shocked she was able to fit into that 80s throwback outfit with her massive kardashian ass and beer belly.

When did Madonna get those huge jugs?

They look awful!

"... she hates singing her old hits because she's tired of them and she wants to move forward."

She has no new songs. And she will always perform Vogue to repairmen and shop bottoms, if you ask nicely.

Authenticity? Madge?

Oh honey, no. Even if she wanted to, she has no idea who she is so it would be impossible.

If she had her way concert setlists would consist of only Like a Prayer, Vogue, no other music released before 2004/2005 plus 98% of the songs from the newest album from here on out.

While I'm excited about the upcoming reissues the fact that she's in charge of what goes on the track listings is troubling. There's an 80% chance she'll only put on bonus tracks that only she likes.

I’ll find something nice to say - this is better than her Pride performance in the pink wig.

Otherwise, I haaaaate the audience! Put down your damn phone, the other 75% of the crowd filming will post it online, I’m sure.

Mostly though, it’s because people’s reactions these days seem to be unjustifiably dialed up to 11 all the damn time; is there any discernment anymore? I saw Moulin Rouge in Boston before it went to Broadway and people were screeching like they were teenagers at a pop concert and the show was just mediocre. It was torture.

Her interview with Jimmy Fallon has garnered almost 5 million views in total. Holy!!!

She seems to be in a haze. No new songs, tours, movies... Just that recent doc. filmed 2 years ago.

I think those buttplants must be painful, and she's on painkillers to deal with the discomfort.

I would forgive her if she was starring in "Mae West" or working on an album or something. Her only 'career' now is air-brushed selfies.

If she gets some bodybuilders around her, she will literally be Mae West.

She needs to rethink the tight clothes with that huge gut.

Yawn! Here we go Norma Desmond, Mae West and next will be Baby Jane.

They keep copying and pasting the same insults from the other threads lol. It must be a bot.

Get some new insults. We will not allow these same 3 insults any longer.

Nor the naked pics of her which they drag out around post 100.

Norma, Mamie, Mae, and Baby Jane my ass.

Substitute New Orleans for NY and Stella and Stanley's nosy neighbors for that bar and street crowd and Madonna now is a Blanche du Bois, with a devoted, disturbed following.

She just did a one-off thing. It’s not a big deal.

I’m more concerned about her weight gain and opiate use. I love opiates, too, which is why I don’t do them anymore. Carrie Fisher also loved opiates.

I look forward to the deluxe reissue of the Like A Prayer vinyl.

Branch out with the insults. I’m going to need you to dig a little deeper.

If you Google how many times they copy and pasted these same lines you would throw up. It’s in the thousands.

Madonna and Angelina Jolie need to do a remake of MYRA BRECKENRIDGE

Some of us don't read the hundreds of threads on Madonna, so we don't know what's old (other than her).

I love it.

Well now you do.

I think it's great when seniors stay active in the entertainment community! Betty White, Rita Moreno, and now Madonna!

Bless your heart, Madonna, you're hot as a pistol!

She's actually the same age Betty White and Bea Arthur were when the Golden Girls started. Ponder that.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I thought hell would freeze over before Madonna would ever let herself get fat. Goddamn.

Ugh, that Daily Mail page is basically unnavigable. Trash.

Madonna and Maluma on the cover of RS magazine . Both are incredibly beautiful

Another

The video

The article

Those RS pictures are Photoshopped into oblivion. But also: how can she look at that picture of her gigantic blow-up doll lips on that cigar and think “Yes, that’s the look I was aiming for”?

R85 watch the video in R83. She actually looks very good

Old whore STILL likes NYC.

But here you are, [R73].

She looks good in the RS video. Slay ‘em, Madge!

Haters gonna hate.

Wondering if Madge ever gave Maluma at least a bj?

R84 What's with the black plastic wig Maluma is wearing?
