Madonna in Budva review by campos_girl
And here’s the report from the concert in Budva posted by our Community member, the lovely campos_girl:
“Okay, just came from Budva, I had NO TIME to write, she totally KILLED me, LoL…
Anyway… I just have to add the organization was AWFUL, including for wavebrakers. There were about 100 of us, who waited from 2pm in front of the “venue”. Others were held at the entrance to the area around complete Jaz, those were the other wavebreakers and general admission. They entered the area and got in the “venue” around 6:30pm.
The people around venue didn’t know where our entrance was, so we waited about hour and a half in front of wrong entrance. We ran from one entrance to another like fools, LoL. They gave us very cheap wristbands (that was a process, too!), and we finally got in- we basically pushed all the security that was in front of us, we couldn’t wait any longer! They were not rude, but desoriented and completely confused.
We heard rehearsals while we were in front, she sang YMLM, ROL, 4M, ITG… I saw her for just a second, she was all in black, rehearsing dance steps for 4M.
We got in at about 6pm and we took our places around the catwalk. Thanks to my great new friends there, I caught my very first FIRST ROW (I embraced that fence like it was my mother, LoL!).
Robyn started around 8pm and sang until 8:30. She left “With Every Heartbeat” for the end. She’s so cute and amazing, she has a great voice, and she thrilled audience with “DOBRO VEČE, BUDVA!” (Good evening, Budva). I think everyone liked her, she kinda set the mood there.
Madonna came out around 9:45. I had no idea something was wrong, I actually thought she was meant to sing those two lines behind (looked not so bad at all!) She didn’t look disturbed, just fine.
The damn catwalk was so high, I could only see her head from where I was, so basically half of the show I saw only half of her and her dancers bodies (LoL).
When she sang Human Nature, she was RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, SHE EVEN HAD ME IN HER EYES SEVERAL TIMES (sorry, guys, “it may feel old to you, but to me, it feels new”)… She looks waaaay better like than in any photo. I know this is my second show, but I have to say it again.
The highlight for we was definitely Devil Wouldn’t Reconize You. She sang it PERFECTLY, I guess the excitement was even bigger, because she was one meter away from me. She even overshadowed LAP with it. Completely stunning.
Now, I was just a little bit spoiled, I read the setlist, but tried not to remember it, didn’t watch any clip of the show (well, I watched few after opening night), so basically, the show was quite new and surprising for me.
Oh, I almost caught a shoe she threw during She’s Not Me: I wasn’t too,lucky. She completely delighted the audience with those GIPSY songs, I think no one who had no idea about the show expected it. She looked at us and couldn’t believe how happy we were!
The request song was Express Yourself. She talked to us quite long, it was funny. I think she was quite satisfied and happy.
So were we! Thank you for that wonderful night, b!tch.
