Madonna is just as charismatic and engaging without the theatrics (WTG, BA, VT, etc.)

The theatrics acts as an enhancement to those characteristics... and sometimes to distract from her crow voice.

Having theatrics> Not having any.

Or lipsynching

OMMMMG.

Woo lord at CL AND 2NE1 albums this year.
Coming for that global and domestic punch.

Poor SNSTD.

Rihanna is a stupid for not putting BBHMM on Spotify or Youtube, Jay-Z's puppet.

n. Yea. Now I'm going through her performances. Whew!
She kinda killed it in the Confessions era.

Even Beyoncé eventually latched benefits of big production backdrops screen and utilize them to tell a story.

Plus, your audience (mostly gays) today has a very short attention span and need the razzle dazzle to be "slaaaaayyed!!1!".

No artist wants to be a stagnant janet jackson with the same ol' boring repetitive stage routines.

Omg. Madonna needs to stop ruining her legacy with her recent performances.
Let people remember you as great.

I found this song on my Ipod in the list of songs and I panicked and threw it at the wall thinking I somehow downloaded All About That Bass

When she hit the running man. biiih
She was gettin' it!

Queen of Pop.

Was it because she was lip-syncing? She was on key for once.

I've always said Beyoncé would surpass Madonna in touring if she incorporated theatrical productions because she at least has the talent to back it up.

Too bad most of her music doesn't crossover well to match the grandiosity of such a production.

ughhh love this song

And thank god for it!

Gays love theatrics (see Britney spinning around like a drunken mess and belching into a microphone, followed by her fans screaming "yasss würk betch, you better SLaaaaAAAAAAaayyy!" just because her outfit is sparkly and the lights are rapidly changing colors).

Madead >

I refuse to acknowledge that

She was so big

Imagine Beyoncé singing ''End of Time'' with this outfit she Beyoncéd for her tourbook

Rihanna is often lackluster when behind a big production -- shouldn't it be the opposite for girlz like her

She's definitely a much better performer when she's stationary behind a mic and the song doesn't require big vocals.
