    Madonna
    So I'm seeing these posts where fans are spreading this 'Greatest Hits Tour'  what I've learned over the years is that when Madonna is gonna tour you can't listen to fan sites. If she hasn't officially announced the tour, then there isn't a tour. All these people are getting excited from internet gossip with no official announcement,  come on people. If it's not on madonna.com then it's not real. These fan pages on Facebook are not reliable.

    I'm really excited, I got confirmation for the Madame X Tour at the Wiltern for November 14. I've been a Madonna fan all my life. I've been reading members posts on the forum and some of the posts are kind of sad. For instance, fans who were members back in the day when u had to pay for membership but when things changed on the website and became free. People now have different statuses.  I'm glad im a legacy member, but for long time fans who aren't given legacy status due to dates when they joined the website. That sux. I've seen M for The Reinvention Tour, Coachella, Confessions, Sticky and Sweet,  Mdna (awful behind the stage seats) and the Rebel Heart tour. So I know the excitement and anxiety of getting tickets. Madame X tickets are different than any other show. So it's been a new kind of anxiety to get tickets. Good luck and energy to all my fellow Madonna fans.

    First I'm gonna say the last tour for Madame X,  I'm a legacy member and I got 2 tickets and I got them for 55 bucks. On Wednesday I heard about the tour and that the pre-sale was already happening.  So I went to check them out. I was only allowed one ticket, if I selected 2  it said I had to change it because tickets aren't available. So I wasn't excited about that. I'm not rich so I was going to use the option to buy now pay later. Well that offer was no longer being showed so I selected PayPal to continue because I've used that option on PayPal. Well when I clicked it that purchased the ticket. The tickets started at 120 for nosebleed seats, the ticket I got was almost 200 bucks and it's a nosebleed seat as well.  So I'm confused on why the tickets for the intimate theater tour were cheaper and I was able to get two. So the big arena tour costs way more and only let me get one ticket. I've seen madonna alone before so I'm aware I would still have fun. But who's gonna share the excitement on the drive to and from the venue, who is gonna share the excitement of the upcoming tour, just me. 230 bucks may not be alot of money but I have 5 cats to feed and the pay later would have been nice. But Ticketmaster has been ***CENSORED*** people in the ass for years so I shouldn't be surprised.  Does madonna realize that announcing a tour and pre-sales beginning that same day with no advance notice gives us poor people 0 time to plan or save money. Lots of people live paycheck to paycheck and not everyone has big savings. So I will say this. My excitement for this tour is lukewarm.

    Life
    So as of right now, I'm the only user online. There isn't much activity by fans on here these days. I guess everyone is on some damn social media site. There is something strange going on with ig, it says my account was compromised or some bullshit. I wish that i wasn't going to the celebrations tour by myself. I've been to concerts by myself and its not fun. I saw madonna at cochella by myself. i got lost in the parking lots, and searched for my car all night. it sucked.

    Life
    So on June 24, my birthday Madonna was in the Intensive care unit. That really scares me, I don't like reading that she was unresponsive, it sends fear to my bones. Madonna has been my favorite artist and my idol all of my life. I don't even want to think of a world without her in it. It would absolutely crush me. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I hope she is here with us for a long time. Just even writing about this bothers me and I don't like it. Madonna is a force to be reckoned with, she's strong and she's also human. And human's unfortunately aren't invinceable. I wonder why I'm the only online user right now. I know everyone else is probably on some kind of other social media but I really would like to see more Iconers more active on here. I know the forum has active users I use to be more active in the forums but not very much these days. Maybe I should try and get more active.

    I've been an Iconer since the 90s. It has always ruled. It use to be so personal and for die hard fans. Now it seems as if Icon is not what it use to be. The website is not very user friendly and there are issues that do not get addressed. However am i still a fan. DAMN StRAIGHT.
    The Staff is doing mediocre work and it is an insult to Madonna and her fans. There is a rotten apple on the team, or a few.

    Celebration Tour
    So I was curious so I looked at ticketmaster. There is an la show on October 1, that isn't sold out. So I took a look. They are selling seats with a side view and practically behind the stage for over 160! That's ridiculous. Then there seats without an obstructed view but they are in the very back, and those are going for over $200 That's some crazy shit. I got tickets for Mdna at stubhub and the tickets were for seats that I don't even think should be sold, we were practically behind the stage. I could see the crew doing there job. I don't know why but after every concert I've ever been to, your ears are always feeling the sound after the show. but that time, my ears could still here everything fine, but I felt more like and the vibrations it was the worst seats ever. But I know they will be bought because some people just want to go and see her, not everyone needs to have a vip ticket and be next to the stage they just want to be there. So i hope everyone who ends up getting those bad seats, doesn't have an awful view.

    So apparently the vmas were on. Mtv has become a joke and the vmas have sucked for years now. I did see that Madonna was there from her ig post. When i was reading the comments, it was really disheartening to see how mean people can be. Even her so called 'fans' are talking shit. I did see some real fans. Her ensemble was interesting.  Well Madonnas ensembles have always been on the next level, the vma ensemble wasn't my favorite but Madonna does what she wants and always has. One thing that bothers me is the ageism. The 'old' comments were really mean. One thing is people are so disrespectful and she is a legend and she deserves respect especially while she is still alive. I don't even want to think of life without her in it.

    My dog Rafael passed away unexpectedly.  I've have been in a deep depression. Tjis had made my already fragile state of mind into a nose dive. It's eeally difficult.  Being an empath on top of it.  Id rather be having a nightmare because nightmares aren't real and wake up. I so sad and lonely. Im so damn stoned

    Well first off let me say interscope sux a big one!!!
     
     
    I ordered the MDNA dvd from amazon. I was so excited when I got it in the mail, HOWEVER! When I put the dvd on; I was in for a rude awakening. So the monks are coming out and ringing the bell.....THE PICTURE FREEZES UP!!!! I was PISSED! I fast forwarded to see if it was messed up it kept freezing and the sound still was playing! I put it in another dvd player, IT kept freezing up over and over again! I was getting more pissed! So then after being really disappointed after MONTHS of anticipation it was a real BUZZ KILL! So I go to amazon to get another copy of the DVD, Well when it came in the mail I put it in the Xbox to play and the MOTHERF*CKER FROZE IN THE SAME PLACE, The exact same place as the other one. So now i'm pretty frustrated. So I went to amazon and it says the dvd was out of stock and I would get a refund. HUHHHHHHH!
    So then I was reading alot of people were having problems with the blu ray and it was RECALLED!!!! What the hell! Interscope sux!!! Since M has left warner bros, the icon site has been out of wack! On all her other tours there was always alot of notice ahead of all the details. When the MDNA tour was announced it was right after the Superbowl and on Icon we didn't really hear jack about the tour when the tickets were on sale, etc. Now Interscope puts out Madonna's record breaking tour with a botched dvd/blue ray that doesn't work and gets recalled! We all know this has never happened in the history of MADONNA! She worked really hard on the project and interscope gets a manufacturer that SUX and does a shitty job of incompetence. How does this happen these days. Madonna is the queen of pop, a legend and the most successful artist, I would expect this from a hannah montana dvd or something else that sux! Another note, when Icon put the links out to buy the dvd, they were another country!!! Also I noticed that there was no live cd with the dvd, you have to buy it separately! What is up with that! With this economy I would have to do my hustle to get both! I had already paid an arm and a leg for 2 tix to the l.a. show and i was PRACTICALLY BEHIND THE STAGE! Horrible seats!!!!! So you can understand another reason i was excited to see the dvd and watch the way it was meant to be!
    Anyhow, I'm gonna go out and smoke some grass! Guess what i'm going to do in a moment......
    I'm going to attempt to buy the dvd again and pray it's not A BOTCHED poorly made disc!
     
    Rant over! I feel like Casey Kasem!!!

    I haven't logged on in ages. Due to last year being the worst year of my life, That will be another blog.
     
    I wish Icon wouldn't have changed everything over and over. A few years ago, it was really awesome, u could upload pictures, videos, blogs, and all that jazz. Then after Hard Candy the website was revamped or some jazz. Everything everyone had uploaded, was gone and a blank slate, all friends gone, and nothing was like it use to. Also, i didn't get to ***CENSORED*** about how corrupt ticketmaster is and the problem i had with the tickets to mdna and being a legacy member. When i saw sticky and sweet the seats i had were awesome! There was alot of hype and publicity for the tour. I was so excited about the superbowl as most of the world, It was amazing and i had tears in my eyes, (also I had the flu and felt tainted.)The MDNA tour dates and tickets were announced faster than. I live about 100 miles or so from l.a. I missed the presales for the los angeles shows, So I was going to get tickets for vegas. The day they went on sale being a LEGACY member u get to buy your tickets before ANYONE ELSE an hour before. I was going to buy 4 tickets and I put in the code and searched for tickets. I WAS NOT ABLE TO change the ticket choices, It only would let me select the most expensive tickets, In this economy I was going to have to do my hustle lmao. I tried over and hour and was hoping everything was gonna work out. Well I got f**ked, I tried to contact ticketmaster and there is no livechat help or anything. What kind of business treats their customers like that. Well probably many but that's not my point. I NEEDED 2 tickets. I ended up getting my tickets at stubhub for the staples center (bad place for a concert) I paid over 100.00 for tickets and I was PRACTICALLY BEHIND THE STAGE, I can't even believe that they sell tickets behind the stage, It was also a limited view! The sound system at staples center was bad, the acoustics and all that jazz don't work. When M has been at THE FORUM it was the bomb. I didn't see when MDNA made her grand entrance, i was trying to look at the back of screens to find her. BUT STILL i was going crazy and loving it. The l.a crowd are such deadbeat, unoriginal wannabes. i was one of those people in the back behind the stage dancing and having a blast. Unlike the floor seats and u see people just standing there! bozos. Anyhow, Then THEY RAN OUT OF PROGRAMS! and the staples center staff suck! I'm a bloody legacy member of icon and I was behind the stage with overpriced bad seats. I still luv it and have a whole blog i'll write about the mdna show, my view from behind. lmao,
    Another side note, On stubhub there was ticket packages available that they were selling for vegasshows that were not suppose to be available unless you were an icon member and had a passcode. How does stubhub have tickets for sale even before they were available to icon and icon legacy members. That sounds crooked. I keep mentioning legacy member cuz, that has always been a special deal and got exclusive things. So yeah stubhub sucks.
     
    Luv MDNA!

    Well Hello kids,

    I just got home from seeing 'This is It'.

    IT RULZ!!!


    It was ***CENSORED*** awesome.  There is so many awesome parts I can't even begin to tell you.  It was brilliant. If you are a Michael fan, then you will absolutely love it. You will be moved and it shows what a extraordinary human being he was.

    Friends of Friends, I'm so excited on Tuesday the October 27, Me and my club are gonna see 'This is It' ! It's the day before it comes out to the rest of the world so I ain't gonna lie. I'm so damned excited! I still haven't really come to terms with Michael being gone. I always loved him and thought he was amazing, but I never thought what actually happened would have happened.  I didn't know how sad and how hard I would take his passing.   Michael was and always had been part of my life. I still am in a state of disbelief, yet it's not like it was when it first happened. Michael was an amazing human being with so much to give to the world. I believe he truly is a saint. I just finished this montage 'Michael Jackson Rulz' Y'all know bout my creations, my montages's in the 'Rulz' series. I made UPDATED 10/27/09 So today is the day, tonight we're gonna see THIS IS IT at 9:00 p.m. I'm so glad, at first I the shitty city I live in wasn't going to play it; so I'm pretty jazzed cuz it's playing in the new theatre and before the worldwide release.  This theatre is one of the only ones in California where they apparently have seats that move. I think it's kinda like Star Tours at Disney. That was back in the good ole days when Disneyland was a great place, Captain EO was there also. Now it is run by a bunch of greedy cunts who have completely shit on Walt Disney's dream. It's pretty sad. However that is a whole other story. I won't even go there cuz I will be writing until hell freezes over. It's also kinda the way I feel about usa. Did you notice I didn't capitalize it. A nation which was based on freedom and equality, even though it was stolen from the native people and they were massacred. So truthfully the whole thing is a crock and full of corruption. Once again something I held in high regard and really loved was destroyed by GREED!   Anyhow, I'm going off topic as usual. That is another reason why Michael Jackson was the epitome of a Superstar. He helped people, the world, long before this trend of 'go green' started. Sorry assholes but the damage is done. I've cared about the environment since day one and done what I could do as myself to help the planet.  The ozone isn't going to mend itself, the ancient redwoods, rainforests, animals that have been exterminated aren't going to come back cuz some shitheads are now so concerned about the planet and 'going green' is gonna save us. Losing Michael Jackson was a loss to the world; for humanity and for life in all shapes and forms.  He is the first person I've admired has passed away. I don't wanna sound like the total manic depressant, however I have my awesome moments for instance, as I'm typing, 'Unskinny Bop' came blasting on and I just started singing and I wanna dance as well. (This summer my sis and I saw Brett Michaels at the County Fair) there were so many old people trying to hold onto their youth it was hilarious. ALSO, I was blasting Celebration and listening to it and blasting it makes me feel good. Viva Madonna!  I love her! Anyhow.  I'm not totally miserable all the time but I get sad. I have to have hope for humanity cuz someone needs to. XOXO Long Live Michael Jackson
    "We're The World" There comes a time when we hear a certain call
    When the world must come together as one
    There are people dying
    and it's time to lend a hand to life
    There greatest gift of all We can't go on pretending day by day
    That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
    We are all a part of God's great big family
    And the truth, you know,
    Love is all we need We are the world, we are the children
    We are the ones who make a brighter day
    So let's start giving
    There's a choice we're making
    We're saving our own lives
    it's true we'll make a better day
    Just you and me Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
    And their lives will be stronger and free
    As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
    So we all must lend a helping hand When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
    But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
    Let us realize that a change can only come
    When we stand together as one
    End of Transmission

    LMAO! I'm sure the title made a few people curious. Anyhow, I was wondering if I was being too anal about something. I received my Celebration 2 Disc and the DVD from Amazon. (however Amazon mailed it to me the day AFTER it was released) anyhow. I love it but when I listened to it. Like a Virgin was playing and I said out loud to myself. This in NOT the original it is the version from The Immaculate Collection. I myself love the original it doesn't have that sound before the chorus and that chiming bell sound during the chorus. The original goes 'Can't you feel my heartbeat, for the very first time' at the end. The remix fades before. I thought to myself am I being an asshole? Though I know other fans would know exactly what I'm talking about. I haven't fully played and listened to it all the way through but I think that Erotica might be the version from GHV2.
    I'm not disappointed cuz, I got excited hearing 'Express Yourself' cuz that version isn't on Like a Prayer or The Immaculate Collection. Also the version of 4 minutes that was different from Hard Candy was delightful.
    I would have liked to heard Where's the Party, Gambler, True Blue, Give it 2 Me, Jump, American Life, Love Profusion, Like it or Not, Rain and some other hits. I guess only 'Real' diehard fans would feel me.
    The DVD is great too, but once again am I being too anal?
    I hoped it would have had; True Blue, Dear Jessie, American Life (both versions), Bad Girl, the alternate Get Together, Oh Father, Nothing Really Matters. It would have been the bomb if they had included M's American Bandstand performance, or some of her VMA showstoppers and I would have really liked to see her when she blended Billie Jean into her own hits. I'm sure some people feel me.
    Anyhow, that is my rant for the day.
     
    Toodles.

    So let me just say how tainted the dentist was. I hated it. however the nitrous was decent, however you would never guess the song that comes on when they turn the gas on.........the ***CENSORED*** Macarena! LMAO! at first i was thinking what the f*ck! am i really under some good shit or is macarena blasting in my mind.  well they were really blasting the macarena, then i'm giggling like a dope and having a flashback of me and my sister doing the macarena at our other sister's wedding reception back in 1996 and let me just say, we were tearing it up and this was before the macarena swept the nation and everyone knew it. LMAO. But let me say, unfortunately it was all caught on video, so someday when I become a household name my dreaded Macarena footage might come back and kick my ass.

    Anyhow, the appt went decent and I'm not in total pain and my dentist looked like Celine Dion to boot!
