Dearest Madonna,
Hi! How are you? I first heard that you were coming to Manila sometime last year and immediately jumped at the opportunity to see you in concert. It didn't matter that the concert tickets were priced the way they were, I had to see you, and so I did. It was February 25, 2016, at the Mall of Asia Arena, and it was up there with The Rolling Stones, who are my all time heroes!
I have to tell you, the entire experience was brilliant! We got there 2 hours before you hit the stage and enjoyed the free wine and scotch at the Globe booth. At the smoking lounge, a few people passed around a few joints right before you went onstage and that heightened the senses that you had opened when you dropped the curtains.
Your first few songs were unfamiliar to me but I loved them all. Dark man! And the show you did created further mystique to the already darkened theme. In Devil Pray you sang about Lucifer being near, which fucks the brain because you sang it. Just hearing the lyrics makes your hair stand but not because you're creeped out, but because not many people can get away with that the way you do so effortlessly. Singing lyrics about smoking weed, drinking whiskey, sniffing glue, doing e, and dropping acid was also brilliant, because people love to hear that! Again, it's dark, but awesome to say, even though the message of the song tells a lot more than highlighting only those words.
We had a Archbishop that suggested that we boycott your show because it was vulgar, suggestive, and blasphemous, but that fucker had no idea what he was talking about! I mean, you probably went much further than he expected you to and thank God for that! He may have wanted people to stop seeing you, but if anything, every show you do will guarantee you an even larger audience because you are fucking amazing!
And by the way, please ignore our dumb ass fucking politicians who are trying to get you banned for singing and dancing Holiday while parading the Philippine flag. We were there. We saw it. We loved it! And you couldn't have chosen a better song to sing it with. We are, after all, at least by claims, trying to further develop our tourism with tag lines like "It's more fun in the Philippines." There was nothing wrong with what you did and you don't me to tell you that. Just ignore these idiots who point their fingers at others in order to hide the wrong that they do behind closed doors. Like lie, cheat, steal, and rape.
I loved everything about the entire show. Thank you so much! You just gave thousands of people the best experience that the entire country has ever had the honor to have been a part of.
Love,
Miggy
