Madame X<\/strong> was in finest form tonight, her next to last show in L.A.<\/p>\n

Among many personas, including spy and whore, Madame X is also a performer extraordinaire. The Queen exhibited wit all night long, and was at ease in front of a vocal and festive crowd.<\/p>\n

Highlights for me: the multitude of Madonnas for Vogue<\/strong><\/em>; the fado stage set; the Batuka<\/strong><\/em> group entrance through the audience and onstage energy; the red X staging of Like a Prayer<\/strong><\/em>; the slightly unhinged and hugely creative performance of Dark Ballet<\/strong><\/em>. Tonight was a majestic journey of many new Madame X artistic pieces combined with a superb pick of classics including Frozen<\/strong><\/em> and Papa Don’t Preach<\/strong><\/em>, all of which underscore Her Majesty’s principled dedication to her art and to her voice.<\/p>\n

The November 24<\/strong> date started at 11:15 pm and concluded at 1:30 am.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Madonna had a challenge with the Polaroid<\/strong> picture. The first camera did not work, then the second backup camera similarly did not work. Third time is a charm as the third camera produced an auction photo. Madonna ‘developed’ the picture between her thighs… the winner was a guy who works at Disneyland. He initially offered $3,000, but Madonna shamed him into increasing his bid to $4,000.<\/p>\n

The special guest for warm beer was Little Nas X<\/strong>. Madonna learned that he is from Atlanta, and his friends call him Montero, which is his real first name. Little Nas X noted that the Madame X show was the best concert he has ever seen. Madonna asked him to keep working hard at his career, as she will be watching.<\/p>\n

A special treat for the crowd: Swae Lee<\/strong> joined Madonna onstage for Crave<\/strong><\/em>, and sang this current hit with Madonna with confidence and a strong presence.<\/p>\n

In closing, I observe that the Madame X tour exceeds one’s expectations on many levels. Madonna’s singing voice is perfectly calibrated for tracks new and old. She is genuinely enjoying the back and forth with the audience. There’s a conversation of values – women’s rights, gun control, environmental concerns – that is part of the tapestry of the evening. The audience is entertained, but also educated. The biggest lesson is that Madonna has no equal; she is the summit of all that we could want in an icon and in a queen.<\/p>\n
