Madonna’s comeback from The Celebration Tour is generally considered a success.
Spectacle after spectacle. Dazzling. Totally addicting.
The world tour was supposed to start already in July, but due to Madonna’s illness, it had to be postponed months later. The singer’s ability to return to concert stages was also doubted for a long time, but now everything seems to be in order.

– He moves seamlessly between different stages of his life, sometimes through a costume change, sometimes by climbing an illuminated portal, flying over the crowd on his way to another time and another place.
\”Exuberant fun\”
The BBC’s assessment summarizes the core idea of \u200b\u200bthe whole show: usually Madonna has wrapped her concerts filled with classic songs around one album, now it’s a completely new concept. *The Celebration Tour* is Madonna’s first Greatest hits show, and according to the BBC, \”it certainly did not disappoint\”.
According to Rolling Stone, the opening show of the tour was a good two hours of \”exuberant fun\ set by Madonna.
Madonna could grow up already
The majority of reviewers have given the opening concert of *The Celebration Tour* four stars, and they also find several flaws. According to The Standard, the show’s story, i.e. the journey through Madonna’s life, started strong, but weakened and became confused towards the end.
– It’s too long, too self-indulgent, and has too many artificial interludes.
The show also featured several racy scenes that have become a trademark of Madonna throughout her career. Vine would hope that the pop star, who is now in her seventies, would finally finally grow up and stop trying to be that 19-year-old New Yorker pimu and \”cool kid\”.
– Madonna would be an even bigger icon than she already is if she would just stop trying to be something else that she really isn’t. Even then this review would be five stars instead of four.
