This is hideous

Dreadful from start to finish. The whole shebang was so predictable. From the silly eye patch to the over the top costumes. Awful.

Well she made Serhat look good.
And Elton John must be gloating.
She's going to get crucified in the press for that.

HappyHammy · 18/05/2019 23:10

She was awful, I used to really like her

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 18/05/2019 23:11

I found the second song better (thanks to the autotune!) But hated the masks. They were freaky.

buttery81 · 18/05/2019 23:12

I love Madonna but that sounded awful. I feel bad for her Sad

babysharkah · 18/05/2019 23:13

Awful. And an odd odd platform for her to choose to promote The new album.

noodlenosefraggle · 18/05/2019 23:13

Do you think no one tells her to give it up because her voice has gone? She's ruining her legacy!

BendydickCuminsnatch · 18/05/2019 23:14

Surely she could have stopped working 20 years ago, it’s all just for her ego at this point! She suddenly got way more confident once the vocoder was in use and her voice was distorted! Toe curlingly embarrassing 😬

CoolCarrie · 18/05/2019 23:14

She and Kate Bush are the same age, but Kate can still sing!

Bearbehind · 18/05/2019 23:15

She's ruining her legacy

Completely ruining it.

I just saw this in the interview....

Hellywelly10 · 18/05/2019 23:16

Oh well it will give the tabloids a change from brexit for the day. Just odd.

cardibach · 18/05/2019 23:17

Out of tune, out of time, and even the staging and dancing was poor. Almost all the competitors were better, and that’s saying something!

CatSmize · 18/05/2019 23:18

But she's always been awful! When was she ever a good singer? Honestly, to me she just sounds as shit now as she always has done!

PanamaPattie · 18/05/2019 23:18

Tragic.

Absolutepowercorrupts · 18/05/2019 23:19

MorrisZapp Debbie Harry is 73 so not really surprising that her voice is thin now

PurpleFlower1983 · 18/05/2019 23:20

Awful! She looks ridiculous! She had enough over produced songs in her repertoire to perform something that sounds half decent but she chooses one of the hardest vocals she has ever done and crap for her new album!

midsomermurderess · 18/05/2019 23:20

She has a tinny little voice that has needed a load of production support from the start. She is almost on a par with Kylie Minogue in that respect.

What was her political point that Graham referred to?

Would presume the gas masks?

floraloctopus · 18/05/2019 23:21

She's sounding her age even if she's not looking it.

covetingthepreciousthings · 18/05/2019 23:22

I think she'd have been better just doing a mini hits medley without that disaster of a new song with Quavo - favourite part was when he said "yeah my mum loved listening to her" Grin

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 18/05/2019 23:23

She used to have such stage presence though even though she is no singer, she has lost that now, it’s horrible to see your childhood idols end up like this, I loved Madonna Sad

AdoraBell · 18/05/2019 23:23

I saw her live, complete waste of money. Her voice is worse them mine and I cannot sing.

SirVixofVixHall · 18/05/2019 23:24

She has always been out of tune and had a pretty terrible voice. I saw her at her first UK concert. She was really flat . I think she had a lot of support and tuning and stage shennanigans to distract from the vocals.
It isn’t age, I have friends in their sixties and seventies still singing really well.
