On a side note though, it has made me laugh that I read that since Wednesday night ticket searches for her next tour has apparently risen LOL
Yeah, this made me laugh too, because there are currently NO tour tickets on sale at all! Details of her world tour are not being released until Monday.
I'm in two minds regarding the fall being deliberate. Whether it was an accident or not, the fall was the best thing that could have happened to her.
This is how it works. All artists have a backing track playing as they perform. They can choose to lip-sync over it so the backing track is at full volume, or they can have turned down and sing live over it. Madonna sang live over it. You could hear that she was singing live. Her voice was very wobbly after she got up.

this is complete shite.folk like madonna who are limited in musical and vocal ability may do this, but most artists don't

A lot of artists who are dancing a lot use backing tracks, not because they lack singing ability but because it's hard to sing and dance a lot at the same time. Lady Gaga uses them all the time. So do non-dancing artists like Mariah Carey who is known for her great singing. It's a lot more common than you realize except for rock bands where great singing isn't really the point.

When artists perform on TV shows or televised events, ALL of them have backing tracks. Studios/sound wouldn't be big enough or loud enough to cater for TV broadcasts otherwise. I agree, in concerts, not all artists do. Even Paul McCartney had a backing track at the Olympics - and he missed his cue.

The BBC apparently insist on backing tracks because it is cheaper and more space efficient than setting up large amps, a full band and such like. But, I'm not 100% certain, so cheers for pointing out what you did.

You're right. It depends on the set up of the studio. And it also depends on how well the artist can sing. Some stars can sing so effortlessly they don't need a backing track.

Those with voices of angels are rarely on TV these days though. Madonna has admitted that she is far more comfortable and confident with a backing track. She isn't the worlds best live singer, not by a long chalk, but she is one of the worlds best live entertainers. I think that's what people forget sometimes. Madonna likes to entertain people. How she does it is irrelevant, as long as she's doing it! I can imagine stars like Barbra Streisand and Shirley Bassey being absolutely horrified at the prospect of singing over a backing track!
No, she is in her late 50s, a fall like that could have been serious
You do really she's not an OAP? And she's in great shape. I am sure it was painful though. Anyone would think 56 is old and frail from the way you describe it.
As a wrestling fan, I can say if you were going to fake a dive like that you would have done it on a level surface, they certainly wouldn't have done it on stairs where she could have easily broken bones. Ergo, not faked.

Wasn't there complaints made in the 90's when TOTP recorded "live" versions of the music, I'd keep using library videos, you never see who will grab their attention.
I may be mistaken, but I seem to remember the BBC receiving complaints about the tracks not sounding like the single.

And that was a disaster for her. It killed her career.
??? The chart isn't announced until tomorrow.

Not all. Most do but there are some that don't.

Most solo pop and RnB artists do. Even Beyoncé who often ad-libs over a rather loud backing track.
If you're a rock act then of course you don't use a backing track. It defeats the whole purpose of having a band!
