Madonna seems in considerably better voice (and face) than I've seen her in a long time on this new tour. I wasn't sure if it would be like a snuff film based on what I'd seen of her lately, frankly. Her voice is never going to be what it was but it's seemingly improved from recent lows (as has her plastic surgery).

I went to see her last month and I am sorry... I don't get the positive comments. I am huge Madonna fan... or maybe I was... I don't know... BUT.

- we waited more than 2 hours for her and A LOT OF people left. It is really ABSURD to sit more than 3 hours in the end... waiting for her.

- the show is not good. I've been to a lot of her concerts in the past... and I don't know if it's because she is not in good physical condition or if the didn't have time to rehearse because of her health issues... BUT the show sounds bad. Most of the songs have OLD vocals from 80s and 90s and no change has been made.

- she is at 10 percent of her original energy. Yes I get she is older and nearly died, but maybe... she should have kept the sex and seduction style of the show to a minimum, since it's sad to watch someone who at time looks tired... to try to be seductive and sexy. It just felt Baby Jane like. Sad.

- it's NOTHING new, nothing we haven't seen. 

I am sorry, but in the end I regretted giving so much money for this concert, to wait so much... to hear bad audio and watch her struggle to dance.

AND I LOVE HER. Please don't attack me for this. I truly wanted to love it. 

BUT. There are 2 good moments in the show that I really liked. I liked Justify my love, for the whole concept. And I loved Live to Tell.

 That's it. 

The first and last songs were wrong in my opinion for a show start and end. And I'm not going to say it's great just because she nearly died and is doing a show. I was actually thinking while watching her live... why isn't this woman at home, recovering. 

It's like if Michael Jackson was to be alive and watching him barely moonwalking. Legends... we just have expectations of them. And people should know when to quit. 

P.S I see that the new dates she has been looking better and more energetic and I hope by the end... she rocks it.

    • Thank u so much! I love that show and the more I see of it the more I want to find more of it even if it’s just in script form. But that house and especially the room looked like Victoria Winters room from dark shadows lol  this was great find! Thanks 
    • I genuinely thought when they said she had been throwing up, we were going to get a pregnancy story. I’m actually not convinced we aren’t. Especially the way she and Doug danced around her own infidelity.
    • Shouldn't it be the other way? I don't think Taylor Hayes is playing Rebecca Budig.

    • And the most detailed discussion I've seen from an industry figure about some of JFP's worst choices as a producer (steamrolling over writers) was from another woman, Megan McTavish.
    • IMDb is definitely incorrect, because the final week of episodes in 1974 is uploaded to Youtube in audio form, and Mark and Laurie are there until the very end. The last episode shows Mark going back to the priesthood. I looked at the newspaper and the earliest reference to their house being haunted by Georgina is in December of 1973. This is dated Dec 14, but this same synopsis ran in the papers until the end of December in other publications. So it must have been within those last 3-4 months. I think Stephanie Braxton joined around 1969-1970 so that's probably right. I saw it stated in other newspapers that David Gale joined around September 1972.

    • Opal having siblings could add to the story. However, it raises questions about Tad's adoption. Why were the Martins allowed to adopt him if Tad had aunts or uncles who could have cared for him?  Logic limited the number of possible Gardner's (and whatever Opal's maiden name was).  Even though Linda Thorson would have been a hysterical choice given her British accent.  Especially because SOD often published questions by readers who wondered why Tad and Jenny didn't speak like their mother.   All of which is still not an excuse for Tad's evil doppelgänger Ted. 
    • And if I remember correctly, at one point, they were considering having Linda Thorson play Opal's sister.
    • Interesting. Makes me wonder how the day to day looked for Secret Storm at this point in the run. This seems very to deal with the psychological aspect, I guess the "inner storm", and the music is almost sinister. If this is from 1974 there's not much room for dates it could've been from as it ended on February 8th.  It's hard to tell from an edit featuring just one storyline, but if this was the day to day it might've been heavy for the casual viewers.   ETA: Stephanie Braxton is credited to have appeared as Laurie from 1970-1973. David Gale is credited only in 1973 and Alexander Scourby from 1972-1973. I know IMDB isn't always right, but I'd say this is likely 1973 - I'm guessing all these characters exited before 1974 and this might be a part of their final storyline. 
    • Well, they were both involved with Ray Gardner.  Then, the actress left in 1980, only to return as a somewhat broader interpretation of the character after Dottie was SORASed.  By that time, Opal had left in 1983.  So, while they serve the same story function,(verbally abusive/neglectful mothers who make you feel sorry for their daughters), one could argue that Edna was the carbon copy.
