OMG. I am so emotional at the moment. Just got home now.
What an incredible show and what a privilege to be there. Had to wait from 8 pm to 12.15 out in the rain in Hosier Lane on the cobblestones before we were let in. However, all worth it and more.
Firstly, she sang so beautifully. Everyone commented on what a beautiful singer she was. Send in the Clowns was gorgeous. I deliberately did not read the spoilers today so had a complete surprise with the song choices. So many songs and all beautiful. Every single one. Joan of Arc made me cry as did Mer Girl, Substitute for love, Intervention and hell, just about all of them. Borderline was amazing and everyone was singing along, same with Take a Bow and Don't tell me.
She was so funny, cute, cheeky and sad. She is unbelievably pretty and petite as well. She spoke about visiting Sean Penn in jail and her heartbreak about Rocco when she said that the tour would have been happy for her if he did not disappear during the tour and if she knew when she would see him again. The crowd loved her although I was annoyed at a few drunk people at the back who talked throughout the show.
People were a bit annoyed at the long long wait outside in the rain but the show made up for it in every way. I actually convinced a few people to stay as they were worried about trains and were going to leave and they all thanked me later as loved the shows so much.
We say Guy O'seary in the lane outside and some people had their photos taken with him. He smiled at me which was nice and is really good looking in person.
So much more to tell but I am so tired now. It is almost 5 am.

I keep thinking of more things. Loved how she talked a lot about her father. She talked about Michigan as well. Also, some idiot yelled at her " Where's Kylie" and she looked and said " did someone say something stupid" She told all of these silly jokes but everyone laughed and loved them. She gave away $100 to a guy in the audience and he was so sweet and told her that he went to the Girlie show ( I think he said it was the Girlie show ) and she looked in his eyes and changed his life. She said that was so sweet and seemed touched and then said " I just gave you $100, don't live in the past" or something similar. Her humour is just brilliant. God, I love her so much.

Absolutely amazing show! I still don't think I've truly acknowledged the fact that she was only a few metres away from me. She's incredibly beautiful up close and does not look her age at all.
Her vocals were on point tonight (especially during between the bars) and that setist was to die for. I never thought I'd get to hear the majority of those songs performed live so I was in complete awe the entire night. Borderline was for sure the crowd favourite and had everyone singing along, but my personal favourites were Nobody's Perfect and Paradise (Not For Me). It was also hilarious watching Monte shake his head at M everytime she messed up an intro XD
Only complaint was a few drunken dudes next to me but everything else was just perfect. She's amazing and I love her. Best 'first M show' ever.
The age review was spot on. As I was one of the people that waited in the rain for over 4 hours, I can say that the die hard fans were incredible. We laughed, had silly games, shared stories about Madonna ( so many superfans who have met her personally ) and people were saving places in the queue for others to go and have a drink in the dingy pub in Hosier Lane and go to the bathroom. Madonna fans were all so supportive and friendly and I felt really proud to be part of the fanbase. They went crazy over Guy O'seary and he was just lovely. Posed for photos and he gave me a lovely smile. There were a few who got restless and worried when it hit midnight and worried about trains, but I even talked 3 of them around to stay ! Hell, I even offered to drive a girl back to Geelong ! They were all die hard fans and loved Madonna. It was beautiful.
When I left the concert, I was talking to lots of fans outside and they were all blown away. It truly was a beautiful experience and don't let any negative garbage give anyone the wrong idea. Believe me, I was there and the Aussies loved it. Some drunk guys at the back talked a lot but people told them to shut up. They were annoying but typical bogans that are at every concert.
Everyone loved Madonna's singing. Everyone knows I have always rated Madonna as a wonderful singer who puts all of her emotion into everything but she is even better than I thought. Wish you all could have been there for this. I am supposed to be asleep but now too tired and happy.
A Madonna news account on Twitter is claiming that the security at the Forum told the audience that the show will be included on the RH Tour DVD. Anyone else hear about this?
There was a picture of the doors that said it was being filmed but as for it confirmed to be on the Rebel Heart Tour no real confirmation.
Ugh I don't have time to catch-up on all of this but I am SICK with jealousy from people who got to attend this!! So many ICONIC forgotten classics being resurrected!
O. M. F. G.!!I'm in heaven
Splayed to my very core and more!
So much to catch on.
The rest of my day is entirely yours, Queen
Let me watch this 10x in a row
Bye!
