The Queen of Pop showed why she'll never be dethroned at a Sunday night concert in Dallas.Madonna lit up the stage on Sunday night, at the first of her two Dallas dates for her Celebration tour.Madonna will never stop rebelling. At 65, she’s touring with The Celebration Tour, a retrospective of 40 years since the dawning of her reign as the Queen of Pop.
Madonna seems to have forgotten that her core fans haven’t seen a line of cocaine since the premiere ofA video reel, and host/opener Bob the Drag Queen introduced the icon. As if anyone needed reminding: born in Michigan, Madonna moved to New York City alone where she famously arrived at age 17 with $35 dollars to her name. She hustled, persisted and conquered the music industry, and harder still, defended her title for decades. And, as Bob concluded, “She taught us how to fuck.
The singer has sported the brace for years, and along with a hospitalization last year for a serious infection, it’s no wonder her choreography is far less athletic than we’re used to. Her voice often drowned in a mix of reverb and backing vocals but allowed an occasional glimpse of an errant pitch. Whether this was the result of a technical issue or simply her age, it made the performance all the more authentic, the core of Madonna’s brand, no matter the high spectacle and surgeries.
The announcement of “Welcome to the New York City Subway” illustrated the theme of the show’s first act: a portrait of the artist as a Midwestern ingenue bursting with ambition.“I hope I don’t have to get into this repetitious behavior where I have to say things more than once to get a reaction,” she said. “Be enthusiastic the first time.”
Through the show, a few dancers appeared faceless, dressed as different versions of Madonna. As the cone-bra-wearing, high-ponytailed Madonna sat in a chair, the real Madonna, began touching “herself,” her early ‘90s likeness, someplace that would’ve sent Pope John Paul II to a much earlier meeting with his boss and maker.
Despite her most salacious moments on Sunday, the singer was controlled, unemotional and admittedly, “in a mood.” Vintage Madonna. in which she fellated an Evian bottle, and the moment she did a “puke” gesture behind actor Kevin Costner, after he called her show “neat.” She dedicated the next song, “Mother and Father” to her own mother and her son David’s biological mother. And once again told the audience to be more enthusiastic so she didn’t have to repeat herself.Madonna has two biological kids as well as four adopted kids. The criticism she received after adopting kids from Africa, she has said, was the most painful of her career.
