Madonna 'Collapses': Concern or Concert?

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 2nd 2009 08:53AM

British newspaper The Sun is going freaking bananas over Madonna allegedly "collapsing" on stage (twice, they claim) during a performance in Bulgaria. The Sun claims the Material Girl "lost consciousness singing 'Holiday' and had to be held up by a dancer," but upon further video investigation, it really seems like a part of the show/choreography to us. Watch and decide:

In the video, Madonna can be seen slowing down -- with the tempo of the music, mind you -- and is eventually seen in the arms of a dancer supporting her. He asks if she is OK, and after Madonna replies that she is, the show goes on with a full-on dance.

According to sources for The Sun, Madonna also "left the stage during 'Spanish Lesson,' she passed out and fell over.

A source claims Madonna is "suffering from exhaustion" and "is anaemic," leading to the alleged fainting bouts.

Madonna certainly looked fine last night, as she rocked the crowd in Israel ... and was even joined by her daughter Lourdes on stage.

The people that say negative remarks about her or anyone, only do so because it makes them feel better (temporarily) about themselves and their sorry existance on this earth. These people will never amount to anything anyways so take what they say with a grain of salt and feel sorry for them and their sorry lives....

Madonna is a has been that needs to get out while she can. Her little stunt was stupid as she is now and damn she is uglier now than she ever was. Not a good looking lady then and never was. I hope she goes away soon.

lol that ole hag cant hang anymore

By lenny

talk about an old hag. Dog meet man. Hang it up for god sakes.

By JJIK

She faked it, she probably has been feeling left out of the spotlight ever since MJ died. She's probably afraid the media forgot about her, so she did something like that.. and it worked..

By Eve

I wish she'd move over and become an Israeli, she's practically one now. I do not consider her American.

SHE OD' ON KABALA

If you look at the other dancers they all stop at the same time, hold their poses, sit down while she does her little fainting routine and then they all resume their dancing. It's obviously choreographed -badly - but choreographed.

For those of you who aren't old enough to remember, Madonna was a little known B-grade pop singer until she started acting like a whore. Madonna is not and never was much of a singer, and the fully nude picture she did for Penthouse is proof enough that she isn't even that physically good looking--even with serious air brushing. Perhaps it is about time to put this phony, no talent bimbo in a rest home.

Madonna is the bomb,,always has been always will be.

Is everyone really this dumb?
She was singing a remix of Holiday and went blank briefly as part of the act as a metaphor for mental absence, or mental "Holiday".
Really people, art is always between the lines and Madonna tries as hard as she can to be a real artist, but she's just an entertainer.

Why do we Americans follow the dumbest crap.
Hey USA, there is real news happening in other countries right now!!!
Wake the hell up.

And hasn't Madonna ever heard anyone make fun of Cher? What is she thinking at her age?

Give it up pop piggie... Say bye bye...

By Chargergrl

Dude U R reading 2 much into her act for some1 who dosent like her U R giving her alot of credit.

By aj

clearly she fainted cuz if u guys know how to read lips the guy asked if she was ok, then she took a breath and she said im fine and went back to dancing/singing. i giver her props for tht but she should really calm down

By bluewater

Madonna who?

By tim

If you watch some of the other dancers they are croutching down with her...to me it looks like part of the act. Asking her if she is okay is part of the act too...

By Stephen

When Micheal Penn wrote 'No Myth' about her, he wasn't kidding...She's a flutter-by STILL just looking for someone to dance with.....I knew my adult years wouldn't be easy, but WHAT the hell did I ever do to deserve having to put up with her for the last 25+ years ??:(((

By mary

that a skank ! she has mocked God in her videos which i think is appauling & what kind of role model is she to her own children? trying in vain to stay young ... having boyfriends young to be her son. who is she kidding .? she looks like hell & those bony chisled arms.. ill take flabby arms any day.. than that.
