The popular international Eurovision Song Contest 2019 will be held in Tel Aviv from May 14 to 18. They are talking more about him than usual, because this time the living legend Madonna will perform on the Eurovision stage. I wonder whose idea was and why is it for her?
Top Selling Artist
According to Forbes, Madonna is one of the richest performers and has a fortune of 590 million dollars. In terms of sales, only the Beatles, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson were able to get around it. She even got into the Guinness Book of Records - and on two counts: for a record number of records sold and the number of dressings within one musical.
Madonna is 60 years old, she is in great shape, full of energy and ideas, has 6 children, paired with a young handsome man.
Participation in the competition has already been officially confirmed: it will be presented as an invited guest and will perform two songs, one of which is well known, the second is new.
Who suggested to whom
This time the competition is held in Israel, and Sylvanas Adams, a billionaire businessman, took up the organization of the arrival of Madonna and her retinue. One of the Israeli television companies, which will broadcast the contest, offered him to take on the costs of Madonna’s performance.
The businessman did not immediately agree and negotiations were conducted for about a month. He agreed to become a sponsor after a 100% agreement with Madonna. He moved from Canada to Israel only 3 years ago, and is now actively investing in culture and sports, believing that this can increase the country's cultural status. Madonna’s performance will draw attention to the contest and the country, he said.
Adams agreed with the Madonna team about an amount of about one million dollars. Madonna will arrive with accompanying staff of more than 60 people. She is going to present to the public one completely new song, with political implications, and this is not a format for Eurovision, but Madonna can do everything, although there is a version that she was persuaded to change her mind.
Preparation Details
The list of all stars is still being specified, it is known that the contest will be visited by Dana International, the Israeli winner in 1998.
It is known that Gauthier, who has already worked with Madonna from the 90s, will be engaged in costumes of Madonna and Dana, remember that corset with cones?
Madame X
Regarding the proposal, Madonna did not resist for a long time. She has already recorded a new album - Madame X, which also needs PR. Recently, a promo album appeared on her page, and just the other day - the first clip for one of the songs. The heroine of the album is a mysterious Madame agent who brings light and freedom to the masses, illuminating the darkness, and, as a secret agent is supposed to, transforms into different roles, from president to harlot. The image uses a catchy feature - a pirate blindfold, which makes it even sexier.
The change of images is symbolic and characteristic of the Madonna. By the way, Lady Gaga is sometimes compared with Madonna: both are shocking, they love to dazzle with provocative images and arrange a sexual revolution on stage. For this reason, they had been in conflict for 8 years, and finally reconciled, immediately to the ambassador of the Gaga Oscar. Under a joint photo in bed (who would have doubted that this would be done unbanally), Madonna signed that she should not quarrel with the Italians. Both have Italian blood in their blood.
Madonna’s last album was released 7 years ago and was accompanied by a tour, whether the tour is planned this year is unknown. Madonna does not give dates or details, perhaps she is afraid of repeating past history when the album was merged into the network before its release.
Who thinks that albums of world stars do not need support - is very mistaken. So Madonna’s performance in Israel was also on hand. In addition, a million is not small money for a diva, but she is economical. For comparison, about the same amount was paid to her by a record company as fees from a previous album.
As you can see, the interests coincided.
