Ultra M

Tonight was the night: As rumored all weekend – and for a change – Madonna turned up at a Miami event, just randomly like that.

The Magic City was abuzz with the pesky rumor that spreads around town like fire every time there there’s something major going on (be it a fashion week of any sort, festival, or like, a shoot/concert/opening of an anything by anyone remotely connected to her), so, obviously, my antenna was perked...with skepticism.

Friday night, for instance, M was “supposed” to show up at the Delano Hotel for the official MDNA part at which DJ Tracy Young was spinning.

Nada. (Duh, she had her Jewish obligations to tend to first, suckers).

Saturday night was different, though.

Avicii was to bring her out on stage at the Ultra Music Festival for a special little something.

The rumor got stronger and stronger as the night grew dark. When Madonna.com put out a news alert, letting fans know they should check out UMFTV, I accepted there was some truth to the rumor, and that I just would not be there (I do not enjoy the big crowds like that ones that make Ultra what it is...and at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach watching Tony Bennett perform with Queen Latifah at the Blacks’ Gala.

And then, there was the Queen of Pop. Not brought out middle of Avicii’s performance but at the top of it, to bring him out and dance to her his remix of “Girl Gone Wild.”

“Hello everybody,” she said “I finally made it to the Ultra Music Festival!”

Just another reason why M is the coolest woman in the world. And why a rumor, especially one about her regalness in Miami, can surprise and be more than just wishful thinking aloud and overreaching PRing.
