Madame X Is A Spy In The House Of NYC

Madonna rocked Pride Island and helped wrapping up the celebrations of World Pride tonight with a four song set that included:

• Vogue
• American Life
• God Control
• I Rise

While there was no official streaming for her perfomance on Pier 97, several posts on the social media including longer videos on on Twitter and pictures on Instagram gave those who were not able to attend a clear idea of how the show was built, putting together weeks of hints by Madame X herself.

The set begun with a bit of the World of Madame X video teaser that serverd as an intro. Then the opening notes of Vogue were played on a typewriter, but you would have had a hard time spotting out the real Madonna in the middle of a group of performers all dress up in the Madame X Spy persona.

For American Life, performed on acoustic guitar, Madonna she got rid of her trench coat revealing a military-themed outfit with couloured strikes from the rainbow flag. She then changed into combat boots to perform a heavily choreographed version of God Control.

Madonna explained how gun safety and gun control which is disproportionately affecting marginalized communities is America’s biggest problem and wrapped her set with I Rise, closing the show with images from last year’s March for Our Lives and the world RESIST on the big screen.

A few familiar faces were back gives the fans the chance to welcome to the Madonna family MzMunchie who joined the lovely Nicki Richards on backing vocals.
