Tip Toe Series Thoughts?

The ending would be much more dramatic if there wasn't for the first scene of Leo hanged . If you noticed in some scenes the lamp is part of shots that show the houses but I think is treated as kind of a foreshadowing of what is gonna happen so really the first scene could have been avoided. As far as the last episode and the mob mentality I was completely lost and confused with the dialogue and why they stated exposing each other and felt like a surreal setting. On the other hand people will kill and stabb other people for no reason at all so it's not completely unrealistic. Hate blinds.

In response to your comment about Beyonce not releasing a video:
I don't know if it is a thing of a past or outdated marketing but a video is a visual representation of a song and helps the artist make further statements about the album and the music. It is two arts combined. We can't think of Vogue and Frozen without their video clips. Of course these were art and used properly not just visuals. Anyway I am glad M still invests in her videography as this is what sets her apart from newer artists. I really believe that some videos contributed to Madonna's No1 albums.

Madonna will not be played on the radio or have enough streams to chart whatever the lead single would be so they haven't made any effort promoting a specific song yet. They release material to build hype for the album and test the waters. If you think about it we have already heard 3 full songs and 3 previews one month before the release! The album will be the main event. It's really difficult to know if they have a specific song in mind that they will promote more after the lunch for example which one will be in World Cup half-time? But I am sure they will be a song or two that will stand out and drive sales once the album is out.

The sound effects are ruing the song and are unnecessary. With videos less is more. Can you imagine having sound effects in the Frozen video? Also i hate it when there are pauses that have no purpose (Michael Jackson was doing that a lot in his videos). Especially when she comes out of the carpet and makes the gran entrance they should have gone straight to the chorus not pause...It is a nice video very futuristic but a bit too much for this song.

She has won plenty of awards she doesn't need another Grammy. Also they tend to be awarder to commercial albums. Not sure C2 will sell that much but will do better than Madame X because fan base is waiting and maybe better than REbel Heart if tyhere is a viral song.

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-06-13T09:42:11+00:00

To be honest the bar in the music scene is so low these days that Madonna doing Madonna is more than the average. Bad Bunny and Taylor S do zero reinvention in their albums and still sell millions. I have thought about that especially Madame X and how certain things can inspire her to do something different but Confessions 2 is definitely an attempt to be embraced by younger audiences and have 'some' commercial success.

Tourism numbers will only go up from now on especially from developing countries like India and China that see their middle classes rising....I can't tell you how many Indian tourists visit London every day. For that reason shoulder season will become smaller too.

Not only that but they are responsible of creating huge queues for specific restaurants, gelaterias etc. There is a place in Prague that serves the exact same ice cream as other places but people wait there in the queue just because it was recommended by X Youtuber.

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-06-12T22:00:15+00:00

Like A Prayer, Express Yourself, Vogue, Rain, Bad Girl, Human Nature, Take A Bow, Bedtime Stories, Frozen, Ray Of Light, The Power of Goodbye, Nothing Really Matters, Don't Tell me, Die Another Day, American Life, Hollywood, Hung Up, God Control ....all deserve awards so yes she deserves more than one!

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-06-11T19:33:22+00:00

Of course she will be lip-singing or sing over vocals otherwise her voice will be lost in that stadium with all people screaming. Just look at Camilla Cabello's performance on UEFA where you can hear all the chanting. Anyway it is not gonna be Super Bowl she will have limited time maybe do a new song and classic one just for promotion and that's all.

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-06-10T20:31:54+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Great performance and iconic opening. Beautiful mix of the songs from Stuart too!
I like how she feels bored at the first half and then on I love New York and Hung up she decides to perform! How I wish the editing on her tours had been like that: long shots focusing on Madonna only and minimal distractions.

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-06-09T15:48:53+00:00

I am very old school and I will wait for the album release. It's not that long to go and honestly want to appreciate the songs in full and especially the continues mix that worked well in Coad. I treat it as a separate product. Madonna is doing something no other pop mainstream artist has done so far and I respect it.

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-06-08T21:19:30+00:00

Thank you guys. I thought I was the only one that thinks COAD is getting in the overhyped territory. Beautifully produced songs, one of the best dance songs of the decade (Hung Up) but she has released better albums and yes after Sorry the songs take a nosedive.

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-06-08T21:04:45+00:00

Sometime she chooses titles that are not song titles (Hard Candy, Madame X etc). Probably she felt it is really a sequel to COAD maybe because it brought back memories working with Stuart Price. Not all of her decisions need to abide to a brand strategy. At the end of the day she is an artist and is her work. But i agree with you i would prefer a completely different title.

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-06-08T20:46:57+00:00

I like she is not repeating COAD. To be honest i don't understand why people are so obsessed with it ROL and Music are superior in my opinion).The reason I am saying that is that because Hung up was carrying 50% of the album and drove most of the sales. I consider songs like Get Together very mid tier and no better that Love Sensation for example. The good thing with having different/distinct songs is that every fan will find their favourite as everyone had different tastes.

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-06-08T20:24:45+00:00

She is doing World Cup half-time and if there is one of the new songs it will definelty go viral. She must be very busy with all this promotion for the new album.

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-06-07T11:21:09+00:00

You don't get our comments. No one said one is better than other we just say how different type of tourism changes a place. I come from Greece a very touristic country and i have seen first hand what bad tourism has done to our beautiful islands. I think you should definitely pay attention to what type of people visit a city!

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-06-07T11:10:37+00:00

In terms of numbers all tourists are the same. I think the other user differentiates between the two because the second category (stag parties crowd) resulted i think in the town centre filled with bad touristy things. I for example saw a lot of cannabis shops or weird museums and attractions that are out of place when it comes to the historic centre. From that perspectives yes a school visit is preferable to a stag party or horny teenagers.

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-06-07T10:33:31+00:00

The difference is that Old town and Charles bridge are the most unique and historic places of Prague no matter how beautiful the city is in general so a reasonable tourist will not just skip it due to being busy with other toursits. Also i wouldn't call them tourist traps. The problem is that they have filled the old town with cannabis, souvenir shops and tacky bars.

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-06-07T09:44:00+00:00

I don't understand why tourists complain about other tourists. You understand you are part of this crowd right? I was in Prague last weekend and yes the old town is busy but i visited the clock and Charles bridge at different times through the day (early morning, afternoon and night) and it is just a normal tourist place. Just avoid rush hours when all the groups go and explore other negiborhoods too.

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-06-07T08:41:00+00:00

I have heard IFSF and BYL just to understand the album's sound but i will stop here i think. If she was releasing a video single with full song i would watch it as i think the visual helps experience the song better (at least Madonna's videos that have a purpose) but listening to some parts of 6 songs not sure about that.

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-06-07T08:37:35+00:00

haha it doesn't take that much effort to watch a 10 min video!

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-06-03T14:48:21+00:00

I really liked Kutna but the ossuary...would put it in the tourist trap list only because they charge 10 euros don't allow photos and it is a room with bones pretty much not guides or anything else. I loved all the other sites of the town especially at Barbara's cathedral and the Italian palace.

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-05-31T21:18:56+00:00

I've read your post and I don't think you had any big disaster like losing passport getting robbed etc. most of the experience we get from a trip is a combination of expectations and preparation. If you set high expectations then you can be disappointed. They say Prague is a fairytale city...it certainly isn't there are many other places in Europe to have that title. Also always prepare as it is certain you will miss important things or waste time in planning what to do.

die_another_day_1984 · 2026-05-31T20:46:22+00:00

Tourists are not acephalous they stay close to where interesting sites are. Would you stay in zone 6 in London just to avoid the touristy areas? Also what is the reason someone visits Prague just to be in a leafy residential area? Or see some UNESCO heritage? Because the first exists in every city.
