  1. Wanna Be Starting Something just came on........
  2. "Music is the Answer (Dancin and Prancin)" gets played a lot before the start. And Hardrive "Deep Inside" (or something which samples that). Both played multiple times in the build up.
  3.

  4. I remember this letter when it leaked for an auction or something. She wrote it in an Australian hotel room and it was fascinating to read in such detail how bothered she was by the editing for the HBO broadcast.
  5. Megafans Billy, Alyssa and Nina were UB at different shows. In fact I think Alyssa was UB twice!
  6. The tour not happening in 1989 had nothing to do with Pepsi ad fuss. As someone else said - Dick Tracy changed all the scheduling. Pepsi cancelled *sponsorship* of the tour but that's all.
  7. Don't believe James Foley had a hand in the video for "The Look of Love" (other than of course it contains clips from a movie he directed.) That video was produced by Warner Bros UK hastily for local TV shows once the single came out.
  8. The tour was named such to promote the movie (and obviously a great tour title). I'm not clear as to whether Slammer became Who's That Girl and then a song was written as the title theme - or if the song was written and then the movie title was changed - but the tour fell into place after all of that for sure. Also WTG was most definitely not Madonna's first big commercial failure. Shanghai Surprise would take that accolade.
  9. Makes me wonder did Shep Pettibone also do a Who's That Girl Q-Sound remix in anticipation of it being on the final release.
  10. Radio 1 (like all youth radio in the UK) love everything Dua Lipa puts out. This is a Dua Lipa track. That Madonna features on it, has got nothing to do with support from R1 for the track. "Hallucinate" is currently on their A-List, getting played non stop, same as all of the Dua Lipa singles since she broke through. No one is being forced to finally play Madonna again - Madonna just happens to feature on a popular artist's track for the first time in a decade.
  11. Yeah that's just a party organised by Madonna fans. I think they ask the record company and Madonna's management to give them things like posters and giveaways but it's not organised officially. It is strange that we have no news at all on the public release of this tour!!
  12. They need to get all this archive footage lying on shelves, digitized. ASAP.
  13. What would normally maybe have been the final "Friends and Family" dress rehearsal before the tour officially started, became a private concert at the O2 Arena for "Net Jets" customers (www.netjets.com). The show was fully ticketed by Ticketmaster (described on the tickets and on screens at the O2 as a "Net Jets Private Madonna Concert") and presumably it was paid for by Net Jets. It happened on Friday 3rd July 2009.
  14. Also S&S 2009 Private Concert for Net Jets clients was a Friday night - July 3rd!
