Madonna, Maluma - Medellín (Billboard Music Awards Performance)

[JustHMLover 1,635]

Madonna, and several of her hologram doppelgängers, performed a riveting “Medellín” with Maluma at the Billboard Music Awards on Wednesday in Las Vegas.

With a giant X representing her forthcoming Madame X on display, “the legend herself” as host Kelly Clarkson described her in her introduction, Madonna appeared laying on the ground of the stage, flanked by greenery scenes behind her. Soon, she wasn’t the only Madonna on the stage, as various incarnations of her hologram self pranced and cha-cha’d around to the grooving tune. The performance included a lot of intriguing CGI to enhance the ever-evolving setting, which included rain and bursting blasts of color. She, Maluma and several dancers perfectly executed the choreography across the various stage setups and through the audience, punctuated by fireworks.

Wow the entire stage transforming so much, the various Madame X personas, her joy and energy, Maluma's sexiness, what a performance! She is so damn creative. There were some really cool performances at this show, but she really elevated the production level and set the bar ridiculously high! Mariah sounded amazing singing her hits, Paula was astounding in her agility dancing her ass off to her hits, and here is Madonna putting on a true theatrical experience, new song, new image, new production, always pushing forward! What a damn inspiration she is as an artist.

She seemed so happy and excited during this... ughhh LOVE HER
