She was 54 here and absolutely slaying. Confessions tour enterance will blow your mind.   More Madonna reactions please

Madonna is the master of live shows, she has set the standars for artists of today.

Madonna is an Icon, a Legend.

This concert was iconic. That intro had the whole arena pumping. The lightning and thunder effects were out of this world. No one does it like the Queen. 👑

The utter master of live touring. Nobody touches her, she created this artform

When it comes to Madonna, there’s one thing you can always count on and that’s what she’s gonna give you a SHOW! 😅

All her openings are incredible. All her concerts really. This is what people don’t get, you need to experience Madonna. She’s not just a singer or musician. She’s that but she is an entertainer, performer and artist. Everything has a meaning. From her videos, to the releases, to the albums, to the live concerts. They all connect in this thread of experimentation, evolution, and pioneering female empowerment.

When it comes to live performances Madonna always ahead and above every standard she’s a leader in making of everything that’s never been before. MDNA concert was and still is the second top grosser concert by any female act only next to her own Sticky & Sweet tour which became the highest grosser of all time by a female artist and 4th over all concert artists. The set design , sound engineer, choreography, production value and Madonna’s performance were all impeccable that sets a new high level of quality and success standards. Throughout the passing of time with many artists coming and going, none of them proves to be even slightly closer to her artistry. Her music and live performances were all an experience and a chance for a lifetime rendezvous of celebration, she’s nothing short of giving the best time of our lives… After all she’s MADONNA the greatest of them all and Best selling female artist of all time!!! ❤️🇵🇭

As others have stated, Madonna is a living legend, and the more you get to understand her career and the controversies she endured, many times to stand for equal rights when she was willing to risk her career. "Like a Prayer" is a song that tackled many issues ahead of it's time. In the music video/song, she brought attention to interracial relationships, equal rights and equal justice, racism, expressing her love for God but using sexuality not just to be provocative, but to show women now do as men do.

You need to watch « gang bang » live by madonna (MDNA tour) it’s. Amazing

Watched this show in London with 60,000 other screaming fans. Seen her on every tour live since 87. She will always say what she feels.

OMG - she does this EVERY tour! She started the theatrical tour with Blond Ambition! She created the artform, dude! She kicks everyone's ass every tour. She is the OG Badass, man, you need to investigate her more!

This is why every one of Madonna's world tours broke records and outsold everyone else touring those years.  She is by far the most diverse artist in pop music history.  Every album/show is completely different than the last but not as a gimmick, as real artistic expressions of how she had grown/changed and what she experienced.  Her shows are like theater, not just in the scope of the visuals, but she arranges the songs and sections of the show to tell a story.  She's never gonna just stand there with a mic and sing her hits.  She's as much a visual artist as a music artist.  She's already over 50 in this clip and her energy is still incredible compared to artists half her age.  She started when I was 4 years old and I'm 43 now.  Still love this woman.

Arguably, her best opening number. But let's get one thing straight: she's the best performer of all the times. No one can touch her level of creativity and effort when it comes to live shows. She's always reinventing herself until now, 2023. So, yes, this whole performance is more legendary and iconic than most of todays artists careers.

Great reaction Steven!  Please more Madonna - her live performances are especially great.  She's the queen of blasphemy and many of her performances juxtapose religious imagery with sexual themes that drive conservatives nuts lol.  Someone else mentioned the live performance of Holy Water from Rebel Heart tour, which is even more extreme.  All her tours have great moments like this, and she is the 👑 after all.

NO ONE puts on a show like the Queen. You must take a ride and do more Madonna.

If you like this intro, watch "Future Lovers" from the Confessions Tour, for me this two intros are the best of her live shows.

Go through a Madonna journey and get why she's the Queen of Pop.

Omg please do a deep dive into her work, she’s worth it. Religion is giant theme in her music and her aesthetics. You’ll love her.

You would love a deep dive into her work especially from her third album on  where because of her commercial success she gained complete creative control .she is every bit the visual artist as a musical one..the ideas,the imagery,symbolism,the set design ,the choreography and most of her music catalogue all come from her creative genius ..she never gets the credit her artistry deserves but she still continues to provoke to push buttons and produce right up until today ..40 years
