French city believes Madonna may own artwork lost in war – and ... (The Guardian)

Amiens mayor wants singer to lend Jérôme-Martin Langlois painting after it went missing in first world war.

I’m not asking her to give it to us but to allow us to borrow it for just a few weeks so people here can see it.” “My initial aim was to do something a bit humorous to make people talk about my city, especially at this time, when the pre-selection for European capital of culture is happening. “Clearly, we don’t contest in any way that you have acquired this work legally,” Fouré says in her message to the singer … The painting was sold in a perfectly legal auction; she bought it and she owns it. It was exhibited at the Musée des Beaux-Arts – now the Musée de Picardie – in Amiens from 1878 but was thought to have been destroyed when the city was bombed in 1918. When they were returned to Amiens after the war, the Langlois was missing.

Amiens – a town best known for textiles and its gothic cathedral – has made a plea to everyone’s favourite pop superstar, Madonna.

Read the Statesman's 1985 review of Madonna's Virgin Tour concert ... (Austin American-Statesman)

"Madonna's Austin show played like a stage version of the sultry pop singer's music videos without the prominent cleavage and navel close-up shots."

Madonna’s concert underlines the fact that she is as much a live performing artist, singer, and dancer, as she is a fashionable, trend-setting personality and actress. The crowd ate it up; the groups of young boys in the crowd looked as though they were attending a bachelor party, gorged. Later, descending the top of a staircase singing "Like a Virgin," Madonna was dressed like a punk bride carrying flowers and wearing a wedding veil — which she quickly, teasingly tossed off, in the manner of Gypsy Rose Lee.

Madonna's upcoming tour will defy society's limits on female pop stars (The Washington Post)

Madonna pushes against old assumptions about gender and age at a time when the public dialogue can be mean and unforgiving on those very subjects.

Her brand of exhibitionist feminism put the female body directly in the spotlight, and that became fundamental to her public identity. But the culture is less likely to applaud the looks of a 64-year-old woman unless she is perceived as somehow defying the march of time or aging gracefully — which is to say walking quietly into the sunset wearing expensive cashmere and sensible shoes. (Most probably don’t want to.) The excitement isn’t in a repeat performance of “Vogue” or “Like a Prayer.” The thrill is in the possibilities of what those songs can become. Madonna is the MTV godmother bringing her personal playlist and bump-and-grind aesthetic back to the stadium crowds. Madonna was one of the foundational female artists of the MTV dance pop genre, and this tour will be a testament to that legacy and a test of cultural boundaries. When she incorporated ballroom culture into her video for “Vogue,” she was applauded for shining a spotlight on this dance style created within the Black and Latin LGBTQ community. She announced her intentions on social media in a video that features a game of truth or dare — a reference to her 1991 film of the same name — with a clique of pals including Jack Black, Amy Schumer, Judd Apatow and Lil Wayne. And for this — and her danceable beats and keen sense of aesthetics — she was beloved. She made a career out of punching up at the powerful and the privileged. She stood on the side of outsiders. She rankled the sensibilities of the Catholic church, Moral Majority and evangelicals. Madonna has announced the North American and European dates of her concert tour, during which she will perform her most popular, era-defining songs.

Top Ohio concerts in 2023: Taylor Swift, Madonna, Bruce ... (cleveland.com)

Travis Barker beats the holy heck out of his drums (he’s my favorite part), and the he’s-not-in-the-band-oh wait-he’s-back-in-the-band saga of singer-guitarist Tom DeLonge notwithstanding (he’s back in). But if you just must see T-Sizzle on this tour cycle get ready to cash some savings bonds, or smash several piggy banks, or empty the stash in your mattress because it’s going to cost you at least one arm and a leg. Opening will be influential English alt-rockers Bloc Party and newcomer Genesis Owonsu. It’s Lizzo’s first full headlining arena tour and has sold out nearly every stop since it’s September starts, so expect a big, brassy musical celebration. Then say Goodnight to the band, go home and go to sleep so you can tell the Dream Police that Cheap Trick still has The Flame and what a great time you had rocking to their many hits. But it’s quite a legacy and the feminist and LGTBQ issues and societal machines they raged against 30 years ago are sadly still in place. A show for the Gen-Xers who grew up on and with New Edition and Keith Sweat way back in the 20th century. The funky and eclectic Texas-bred/NYC-based collective led by bassist Michael League has had more than 40 awesome musicians and improvisers pass in and out of its ever-evolving lineup. I’ve seen Springsteen in Ohio three times; with the E Street Band, a solo acoustic show and with his Seeger Tribute Band and each time was a different experience and a darn fine show. We’ve included a few regional acts along with the big-tent/arena pop, rock and rap artists. Check out the catchy, mellow lead single “Fallout.” Though they will probably settle for you singing and dancing along to their artistry.

Madonna's 2023 Celebration Tour: The Dream Setlist (Billboard)

Madonna's 2023 Celebration Tour: A dream setlist of songs we want to hear the Queen of Pop perform on her 40th anniversary tour.

This might not be a sturdy classic in the vein of hit songs that warranted inclusion on The Immaculate Collection, but we’d like to hear some rarities on this trek, and why not a “deep cut” that was also a massive hit? Despite being one of her live staples, she hasn’t busted out “Like a Virgin” since 2016 – and for an anniversary tour, it’s kinda-sorta a must, as her first No. Speaking of a hit and a flop, it’s time to bring “Who’s That Girl” back into regular rotation on a Madonna tour. It’s a rousing anthem of resilience, and we’d love to hear it on at least one of these Celebration Tour dates. While we’re on the topic, “Causing a Commotion” was a No. “Vogue” is of its time, sure, but increasingly, it’s clear that it’s one of the GOAT dance classics. Second album Like a Virgin propelled her to superstardom, but 1986’s True Blue proved she was there to stay, and “Open Your Heart” is a huge piece of that equation. Sure, it’s more of a classic in the oeuvres of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Patti LuPone, but when it comes to Evita, Madonna does have something those theater greats don’t: A top 10 Hot 100 hit, thanks to this remix accompanying the film’s 1996 release. 1, “Take a Bow” is Madonna’s longest-running Hot 100 topper — yet she’s rarely performed it live. 2 on Hot 100), a crowd-pleaser during her intimate 2019 residency at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and a recently viral TikTok favorite, it’s a no-brainer that hearts will be open (and phones will be recording) if and when she busts this one out. Plus, the message still lands: “Dance and sing/ Get up and do your thing.” Just try to understand (underSTAND) how delightful it would be to hear this slice of cotton-candy pop at a stadium near you.

It also reported that the dimensions of the original painting and the one that was sold differed by about 3 centimeters, or 1.2 inches. The catalogue entry also cites the artist’s descendant Marianne Froté-Langlois, whom DeGisi said “considered the painting to be a replica of the lost Amiens original.” And now, the city wants it back on loan as it seeks to be named a “European Capital of Culture” for 2028 by the European Union.

Madonna is understandably proud of “Madame X,” so “Medellín,” “Crave” or “God Control” aren’t completely out of the question. She has been equally reluctant to perform the 1994 ballad “I’ll Remember” and “Rescue Me” from “The Immaculate Collection.” (The snippet she sang on the “ Given the nature of the tour, which promises to highlight Madonna’s “unmatched catalog of music from the past 40-plus years,” there are some no-brainers.

Eventually, Amy Schumer dares Madonna to embark on a world tour and perform her “greatest motherfuckin’ hits.” While the Queen of Pop is tightlipped about specifics, a couple of tidbits can be gleaned from the star-studded tour announcement.
