MDNA TOUR: BOOBS, ASS, AND LADY GAGA


Madonna always liked being polemic, that’s not a secret. Among ups and downs in her new tour, polemic wouldn’t be left out, that’s a fact. On the first chapters of the novel entitled MDNA TOUR, Madonna has already accused Lady Gaga of plagiarism (again), showed a boob (again), kissed a female dancer (again), abused of religious issues (again) and caused some embarrassment in the Middle East. And if we are talking about Madonna, that’s for sure just the beginning. It’s a pity that there is nothing new among all that. Madonna has become repetitive. And that’s a pity…again.

Madonna started her MDNA TOUR LAST May 31, in Israel. And strategic countries were chosen to continue her new odyssey, places in which sex and religion are still themes strongly delicate. And it worked beautifully. If she wanted polemic – doubts? – her mission was accomplished successfully. Madonna shocked the public in the Arab Emirates with religious messages, and, also, she kissed a female dancer. In Turkey, Madonna showed a boob while she sang “Human Nature” and in Italy she showed her ass. Not yet satisfied, Madonna is also pointing Lady Gaga as her copy once more. In a certain moment of the show, Madonna sings “Express Yourself” followed by Gaga’s “Born this way”, finishing with “She’s not me”. Lady Gaga already showed that she didn’t like it. That is, Madonna got what she wanted – reactions, good or bad, whatever. But causing polemic with religious and sex and Lady Gaga is something made by her several times before. Madonna is living over her past as she notices that maybe she doesn’t have something new to offer other than polemics. But in the past this type of attitude put Maddona as a revolutionary woman, now a days such acts sound more like a woman who doesn’t know to anything other than that, other than causing polemics of whatever type, in a desperate act to be alive. And, except for such controversial moments, there is not too much to expect from this Tour. Madonna simply amplified her SuperBowl Show – the essence of the MDNA TOUR was already there. And what was good and exciting in 11 minutes got boring and repetitive in 2 hours that didn’t bring great surprises, in which Madonna didn’t show anything really new, apart all the visual structure, which is quite impacting, either the scenarios or the costumes, everything impeccable. Talking about music – remember, she is a singer – Madonna fails in several aspects. Her voice didn’t sound any good, even with a playback helping; her body didn’t respond to dance as it did before – moments in which she dances like in other previous tours are rare; and the set list counts with just few hits that cause people to jump and get excited. In a nutshell, watching Madonna’s MDNA TOUR is like watching a very good action movie, with scenes visually amazing, with a script, though, with no further meanings.
