February 3, 201510 yr Author Very happy about this! Just the promotion she needed - hopefully a Graham Norton Show performance or other televised promotion will be confirmed soon.
February 3, 201510 yr Fabulous news :wub: Looks like her team are working well on promo for this era already. Hopefully it continues! Insanely excited to see what she has lined up for this performance.
February 3, 201510 yr Author They've at least learnt one thing from the MDNA era - promotion is vital! The Grammys and BRITs are two great and big sets of promo for both of Madonna's biggest markets and hopefully it'll pay off really well. I believe she will be performing a melody of new songs at the Grammys and I think that would be great for the BRITs too, although I'd be happy enough with just 'Living for Love' being performed.
February 3, 201510 yr Author Max Lousada, chairman of the BRITs, issued a statement about Madonna's BRIT performance: "We are delighted to bring Madonna back to the awards. She’s an icon, an innovator and, above all, an entertainer. Having her as part of the show will guarantee an unforgettable night of music." Madonna has won two BRIT awards - both for International Female, in 2001 and 2006 - and has only performed once before: 'Bedtime Story' at the 1995 BRIT Awards. _hXdPVFO_s0
February 3, 201510 yr Author Trust your instincts! :P Hope you enjoy it and remember to tell us your thoughts from a live perspective!
February 3, 201510 yr My gamble paid off , I'll be there A life goal of mine to see her live at some point, so very jealous! Make the most of it and scream extra hard for us :P
February 4, 201510 yr A life goal of mine to see her live at some point, so very jealous! Make the most of it and scream extra hard for us :P It's just a shame you never got the chance to see her when she was still at her best, or at least GOOD.
February 4, 201510 yr It's just a shame you never got the chance to see her when she was still at her best, or at least GOOD. If i could go back in time, the first step i would take would be into a venue for the Confessions Tour. I can't imagine what it would have been like to see that album come to life in front of my eyes :cry: I do watch footage from her concerts throughout the 90s too and really wish i could have been there to witness them first hand. It obviously won't be the same now, but just to say i've been in the same room as her is enough for me at this point.
February 4, 201510 yr True, even though S&S (1.0) wasn't that good, I still felt like it was INCREDIBLE just being there within the same space as her. (I may have wept a shade at the 4 lines we got of Express Yourself too, but that's a whole other story)
February 25, 201510 yr I'm really excited for this, completely fallen in love with this the last couple of days
February 25, 201510 yr They are REALLY hyping it up :D she should have released it on Sunday because it needs the boost from tonight. At least it will help the album i suppose ~
February 25, 201510 yr Author OMG. F'ing well done to her carrying on but I bet she is so mad about that. I feel really sorry for her!
February 25, 201510 yr Me too :/ hope she's ok. Carried on like a pro though, and hopefully it gets the world talking and watching :P the single needs the promo!!1
February 25, 201510 yr That fall must have been incredibly embarrassing for her. Luckily she managed to recover from it well.
February 25, 201510 yr Author We all know how much of a perfectionist Madonna is so she's really not going to be happy with that. If anyone's watching the backstage show, let us know if she's there/gets mentioned!
