All this crap for a tour that no one is going to see? Come Madge shut er’ down and grow up. No one cares about a 50 year old pop tart.
I think her tour will do just fine. She is still an amazing performer…probably one of if not the best out there so there is no reason for worry Madge.
I dont see it doing too well. It is just too hard to be relevent musically at her age…especially if you are pop musician.
If only they had spent an hour or two teaching Madonna how to actually sing live it may have been worth all this effort. But alas, she doesn’t really care that she cannot sing in tune or on key.
She will sell more tickets……….If you have ever seen her live then you know she can fucking put out a concert that these stupid tweens can only dream of.
her shows are amazing. she’ll do fine with sales, she always has.
Who the hell counts Q-tips?
The Recording Industry Association of America has described her as the best-selling female rock artist of the 20th century and the second top-selling female artist in the United States.
Guinness World Records list her as the world’s most successful female recording artist of all time and she has sold about 200 million albums. The Sunday Times estimates Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie’s fortune at about $600 million.
