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.

    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks promoting this horrible storyline.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.
