There's a story from a costume designer at a tour when Madonna stopped rehearsal and said the costume had been altered by a couple of inches, she felt the difference in how she was moving in them. The costume designer was flabbergasted because it was true and she thought Madonna would not notice but it was an example of how precise she was about everything
Johnny, the Vegas shows are always great for fans that can travel there inexpensively. Most flights to Vegas are cheap. We buy tickets there because the crowd is so full of suits, tourists and industry admitted for free- the crew usually rounds up obvious fans in M regalia to pull up to the front or pit (with a band) in exchange for the promise of dancing and screaming all night. We help keep her engaged. Lol. I've had that fortunate experience twice!! Cheap flights, cheap city, cheap tickets, cheap bragging rights... Who cares?! Front row, baby!!!
Thank you for this reaction!!! I totally appreciate it!! Your beautiful words about Madonna’s artwork and messages… and I RESPECT YOU!!! You are so humble and kind!! Love you ❤❤❤
She's like Barbie!!! 80's Madonna, "slut" Madonna, porn Madonna, President Madonna, Yoga Madonna, Swami Madonna, Saint Madonna!!! She is every one of us! She's everything! Lol
For many years I watched this documentary on the US version of the dvd/cd release. When I watched on a streaming platform, I noticed it was edited shorter. I forget which scenes were omitted.
She created Music , American Life, COADF and Hard Candy while being married to Guy. The Drowned Word tour, Reinvetion Tour, Confessions Tour were of that time period too. The marriage ended but as she would later admit in one of her songs on MDNA, ‘ It wasn’t always perfect, but it wasn’t always bad.’
@@bentoth6377 True. She was adventurous and cool with American Life and Music. Her next three albums were not as risqué. Yet, they are amongst her most enjoyable. What’s undeniable is that Guy had a tremendous effect on all these five works. MDNA released four years after the divorce had Guy all over its DNA. 2000-2012 is the Guy Richie era. This is my favorite Madonna era.
niiiice one, i loved that docu about her. i am not religious but what stuart says in the bginning is you can believe in something without labeling it. nice rection, mister. how about the documentary about kylie minogue, it is called white diamond, the return back to the stage after being diagnosed with breast cancer. it is very interesting, and amazing to see her coming back to her second part of the showgirl tour back in 2006.
I've never really liked Guy and having read the latest Madonna biography, A Rebel Life, validated and ramped up my disdain for him. He was highly insecure and thought he could make Madonna his little woman. Ultimately he failed (thankfully) but took a good chunk of change with his departure.
it seems to me that Madonna tried to show us that life is more simple than some had tried to make us thinking… is more simple than the tora itself, that’s why she finished her documentary with simple words and a powerful question: when will we start TO ACT in order TO MAKE A BETTER WORLD? WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? It seems to me that the final message is that: it’s all about LOVE, LOVE is the key, the tool to make a better world (and don’t forget, Madonna said that LOVE IS UNDERSTANDING 🤓❤+🧠)
this is not my favourite tour of hers, but this documentary is really fascinating. I agree, I absolutely can't stand Guy Ritchie. He just seems like such an entitled and selfish jerk. I think they were just on two different paths. She was much more mature at this stage in her life, and he was, as you say, a giant man baby. He was lax and let Rocco slack off and smoke pot in the basement whereas Madonna wanted her children to be ambitious enough to pursue their own passions and careers, and work hard for them, rather than just being lazy nepo babies. Just two completely different temperaments and mindsets, mainly because he was raised in a pretty wealthy family, and she scratched her way to the top.
Ironically an edited documentary about her RAW feelings ❤. Time gives certain about her words and actions. Yes I cried too and yes o hated Guy too 😂. Btw this CD 💿 it's not available on some streams platform... Maybe 👀 she's mad about a guy 👀... So, it will be her secret 🙈
The "fans" who complains about Madonna’s political inserts, heard her discography wrong, completely wrong. Because if there is one thing that Madonna’s art is and always has been, it is politic.
Awesome commentary Johnny. Love how you diplomatically managed to convey your classy positivite thoughts/feelings as well as negative impressions without necessarily saying the words and withholding a reaction on the possibly divisive aspects. Good on you. On the other hand, like many others, I was thoroughly disappointed when this documentary came out for a myriad of reasons and still to this day believe she deserves to be criricized for political engagement whenever it was misplaced, counterproductive, placating and little more than pathetic virtue signaling - as it was during this phase of her career. But that would require a whole another essay... Keep it up 🖖
15:15 Las Vegas is the worse place to see a show. The majority of shows I have seen in Vegas is a lot of casual drunk fans who are only there for the known hits and a lot of middle Americans in town for a convention.
I’m not sure if it was on purpose or not, but in this documentary we can clearly see what kind of superficial person is Guy Ritchie, probably because he has a lot of money and he has to “work” just a little to keep on that level of life, I don’t know

Her attention to detail is insane.
@@bridgethegapreactionsare you married? I just love you
I can't say how much I love this documentary, it was the very first time I was able to see other facets of Madonna
Your disdain for Guy R is hilarious 😂😂😂
Haha, it's very fun to do! Also, I sat through Revolver 20 years ago - the man owes me 2 hours of my life back.
@@bridgethegapreactions hah fair play. He has redeemed himself with The Gentlemen though, surely?
She is Mother when she’s on tour. As the dancers are very young, she always used some time to expose them to other form of the arts on tour.
We feel the same way, Johnny. You and Madonna brighten my day all the time. Thank you!! 💡

Very good reaction. The way you viewed it , analyzed it with a third eye perspective 👏 well done.
MY FAVORITE MADONNA DOCUMENTARY! Kabbalah madonna is my favorite 😂
She's like Barbie!!! 80's Madonna, "slut" Madonna, porn Madonna, President Madonna, Yoga Madonna, Swami Madonna, Saint Madonna!!! She is every one of us! She's everything! Lol
The Queen of Pop
Great reaction, thanks for choosing this documentary! 💞👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 💞 Also, I agree, GR is a prick! 😂

I went to see this concert in Manchester
22:28 Shade!!! LOL!!!
2h17min reaction on Patreon. I had to cover up the image a bit to get it on here - it's properly visible over there.

By the time hard candy came she was definitely wanting out and returning to her roots so to speak.

Remember Madonna’s always trying to make that we question establishments… she’s always doing that… to inquiry further

Sounds interesting! I definitely need to react to more Kylie stuff

"That's how I think about you guys." ❤🥰❤
that melted my heart also... love you too, Johnny!
Never really got into the early version of I Love New York from this era
It's really good. It's on the CD that came with the DVD.
Narcissistic Guy Ritchie, totally obsessed with Guy Ritchie

Ahh, that's interesting about him coming from a wealthy family - very different to her indeed. I'm sure he's got some good qualities. Maybe.
