I like Madonna like this. More natural look makes her look younger and sexier. These are pics from Saturday nite, at the opening of a club called The Boom Boom Room in NYC.
On Sunday, she made an appearance at the VMAs, with a tribute speech to Michael Jackson. But all that was overshadowed by Kanye's antics. What an ass he is. Now I actually have to like Taylor Swift.
Then she popped up at the Marc Jacobs show @ Fashion Week, with photo ops with Lady Gaga. I am actually so tired of Lady Gaga now - and I was championing her for the longest time before she broke really, really big. Her songs initially were really catchy to me. But after repeated listening, they got old fast. And then her live performances and videos sort of leave me cold. Her "performance art" doesn't really do it for me.
Madonna has a greatest hits compilation coming out. It has two new songs on it - Celebration and Revolver. Neither can be considered great artistic achievements. In fact, after numerous listens, both are somewhat catchy but ultimately pedestrian. And don't even get me started on the Celebration video, or any of her videos since...Don't Tell Me. Yup, I think that was about her last inspired video. I mean, some of her concert backdrop videos are breathtaking, but the music video outputs as of late have been disappointing and, God forbid, ordinary. That's not the Madonna I know. I was watching her 93-99 video collection recently, and man, it was one visual masterpiece after another. She really was making art back then. I am seriously yearning for the glory days again, when she is inspired and hungry again to take me to the heights of the likes of Ray Of Light or Like A Prayer. I have hope and faith in the next chapter - the Live Nation chapter of her career. I can't wait to see what would Madonna do.
