Chris from Christine and the Queens first met Madonna in 2015, when he was pulled on stage in Paris during a performance of her song Unapologetic Bitch for a dance and, surprisingly, to be unapologetically spanked by the Queen of Pop. The union was pre-planned but still looked more like one of those moments where a fan gets plucked from the audience rather than a meeting of shining stars, even though Madonna had acknowledged the influence of Chris’s choreography on some of her work.
Well now it’s Madonna who has the bit part on the fourth Christine and the Queens album, and rather than increasing this wild collection’s pop appeal, her three cameos only add to the weirdness. Instead of singing, she provides the disembodied voice of a character called “Big Eye”, saying: “Do you suffer from loneliness? This is the voice of the big simulation,” on I Met an Angel, among other hard to follow speeches.
