Madonna’s proposed World Cup halftime budget “astronomical”

[LateToCult 41,718]

Good luck to her. Soccer fans are the most insufferable group of people. They’re just gonna complain about having to sit through the show and probably call her an old hag.

She really wants everyone to know she’s putting out an album. Shame it’s this one. 

Whilst I'm not gagged by any of the songs so far, it's still looking to be her best and most cohesive album since the original Confessions.

Whaaaaaaaat!? This is the first time I’ve ever liked almost every song I’ve heard so far - this might be one of her best albums.!

This album feels like she’s going all out on a party/dance vibe. For me it kind of makes up for that time Aviici made some rebel heart songs into dance floor bangers, only for her to pivot and remove him.  

Interesting. So far everything has been really underwhelming for me.

Cohesive, yes. It’s just seemed like one long trance mid fest to me though.

I love how you think Madonna has obsessed stans who hype her music up

Oh Madonna stans are vocal defenders of Madonna against other women

But most hate everything she's done since confessions and some even hate everything she's done since Blonde Ambition

Not particularly pop music. They just  want to watch the match and then break everything. It’s not like American fans. European football fans are insane. A lot of aggression and alcohol! 

actually, american fans can very famously be like that—chicago after the bulls won in the 90s is used in psych textbooks, for example 

[Ziggy 13,776]

i mean...it's madonna...which is to say this isn't news  But also FIFA are equally insane so honestly sure let's have them be crazy on each other

GGD is a better fansite to Madonna than the actual ones lol.

I look at the Madonna forum sometimes and basically every thread is people fighting each other over not liking something, or bringing up the gaga or cher "feud" randomly for no reason lmao.

This is very much how Americans act, there's been several major riots after games. looting, burning vehicles etc lol.

If they didn’t want a Madonna-level performance they shouldn’t have hired Madonna

The venue attendance looks like what the Pussycat Dolls tour venues would have looked like. 
 

Madonnas budget would eat most of the FIFA profits so go ahead queen, milk those Mfers dry!

This is why I cannot take seriously people saying "eat the rich" while being pro-celebs culture. What’s the point talking about stars money in a positive way ? 

No matter how much Madonna preached the cause of minorities... She is privileged af now. She is as much cynical as Bezos. The same woman who supports the gay cause collaborate with the biggotted and homophobic brand of Dolce & Gabbana ?? 

I was thinking lately about the way... No matter how much they talk about social communities. The only community they love is "the beautiful people". The rich POCs, the rich gays, the rich women. The ones who appears as flamboyant and creative characters. Not the actual marginalized one. 

The Fifa is highly corrupted, and even more since this is in U.S. This is like a giant commercial spot for every Met Gala scums. 

And yeah... Their money is not clean. There are a lot of dramas about the way the football money is being misappropriated funds. So it’s not cool that she takes part in this. Also Trump received from the Fifa created for him a peace prize. Like wow...

Sports fans tune into watch sport. 

A halftime show just extends the reset time needed at half time and prolongs it keeping the fans who want to watch the game stuck waiting for longer. 

And its all done to chase an audience who wont watch the game. 

We're seeing similar issues in rugby union where TV broadcasters are trying to force the game to change its lawbook to make it a faster game that is a more exciting tv product for non-fans

bingo

Football fans are just many fans like other fans of stuffs.

Swifties/K-Pop stans are oftenly described as unsufferable and cringe. Because they are many and some of their most visible groups are indeed real psychos or chronically online. So it’s not all of them. 

Same for the most-watched sport fanbase. There are a lot more sane fans, than crazy ones.

The ones destroying stuffs in the streets are just mentally ill. But thanksfully you see a lot of young people and families chilling while supporting their fav teams in the arenas. 

 

And I won’t sit for a "diva" who struggle dancing because of her age. It’s not because they scheduled her at an halftime that we will watch it. I don’t watch every stuffs going on for this tournament. I don’t even watch all football matchs. There are so much and I have no interest in some teams. 

The reason I won’t watch it, it is bc the concept of halftime shows was never a part of the W.C culture. Fifa decided to turn this sport event into a giant commercial spot in America. But it’s not what fans want. Not also to add that a lot of their money is from misappropriated funds... And Madonna is simply taking part in this masquerade.

Every fansite loves other acts better than the act they are dedicated to.

Except the Kylie reddit, that place is generally as wholesome as Kylie. Apart from one time when someone got really butthurt because I said I never want to here her do the Wild rose bit again lol
