Her performance of Dress You Up in 1984 in Detroit imo is the best live choreographed music performance with live singing EVER. When you have that kind of talent, you dont lose it that easily. 53 isnt that old.
fan fucking tastic (makes me proud)

I was about six rows back, center stage for the Virgin Tour when she came to Orlando in 1984 and I'm not sure if she opened with Dress You Up but I will always remember when she first came out the crowd went nuts and the screaming was an all time high. When she pulled the mic up to sing her first words the audience went silent to hear her. It was like someone flipped a switch. As soon as they heard her sing it was back to screaming. It was surreal.
Watching this YT video you can hear the same thing happen.
Back then Madonna ruled the world and to this day that is one of my favorite concert experiences. She did well in the half time show but lost her footing a few times. Some of it was a bit pushed like " look at me I'm over 50 and can still do a cartwheel " but towards the end she seemed to find her groove. While she is still productive I'd say she is past her prime. I'm just thankful I was there when she was on top
