His name is Jo'Artis Ratti ;)

Except for a very few songs (True Blue, La Vie en Rose..) she is constantly helped with backing vocals from beginning to end (as any other performer who gives that kind of show)  you can easily hear to them however I assume that her microphone is always open!?

I mean these beautiful lyrics and the best part was the way Sean Penn looked at Madonna!!!!...
 
Wow...His eyes...          That was breath taking moments!
 
I feel like "Wow... I feel like I'm watching one of the greatest romantic movie ever!!"
 
When the world gets cold
I'll be your cover
Let's just hold (hold Sean Penn's hand)
Onto each other 
When it all falls, when it all falls down
We'll be two souls in a ghost town
 
 
I never though that Sean penn is Sexy but wow that moment... wow... if someone look at me that way...sigh..

I know right? that was so romantic!!        
 
I was almost crying! so romantic and so intimate moment! even sexy.
 
I know that some people really hate sean penn but If Madonna still love him then I really wish that they get back together.

So lovely when she was holding Sean's hand during the second chorus (at 2'22)

EXCLUSIVE: LOIC MABANZA TALKS FASHION, MADONNA + STYLE

 
What’s it like making the transition from dancer to model?
There was no transition. I’m still a dancer. I just had to learn the business in the modeling industry and get some experience. But it’s two different worlds. In the dance world, you’re hired mostly for the skills and originality that you bring. So it’s really up to you. You can blow people away with your skills, be creative and show up like no one else. In the fashion world it’s more limited. There is not much you can do except to be true to yourself and show up.
 
Does it help to have a dance background?
The fact that I am a dancer really helps because I approach the game differently. I can be more creative using different movements and ideas that people don’t see often in the fashion industry. Most of the time, when I book a job as a model, the clients or the photographers ask me either to dance or to help them find creative ideas. I always end up choreographing for them and helping the other models on set. I think my ability to move differently and to create shapes and movements also separates me from the others male models. I believe my dancing skills alongside with my smile are my strength in this business.
 
How would you describe your personal style?
I just asked my friends next to me to to describe my personal style. They said (laughing) “smooth, slick and suaveâ€. I have different styles though. I can rock a suit for no specific reason. But I also like a clean street style. I collect rare jackets that I buy overseas. I like to be fashionable and show up like no one else. And I like to do it especially when it’s not expected.
Clothes and style are the reasons why I’m in this fashion industry in the first place. I love fashion and style and I look for inspiration in every place I travel throughout the world. I’m actually about to create a blog to show my personal style and inspire people. But it will always be connected to what I do, my skills (dancing, martial arts, parkour etc…) to make it truly and originally me. That is how I express myself as an artist. I cannot wait to connect with my fans through my journey so stay tuned!

Review: Madonna brings uneven Rebel Heart Tour to San Jose
By Jim Harrington
jharrington@bayareanewsgroup.com
 
Madonna's Rebel Heart Tour is a definite mixed bag, with nearly as much going for it as against it.  
The positives have to do almost exclusively with the visuals, which includes the set design, choreography and costuming. The images, as with past Madonna tours, can be perplexing, confusing and disturbing. Yet, they are also often quite intriguing. That's enough to save this tour from the dust bin, lifting it from bad to mediocre.
 
 
The negatives? Well, how much time do you have? The shortlist includes the song selection, the reliance on iffy remixes and a general lack of purpose to the production.  
 
All of that had a huge impact on the 12,500-plus fans who turned out to see Madonna perform on Monday at the SAP Center in San Jose. Their enthusiasm level started out strong, yet continued to dwindle as the night progressed.  
 
Part of that had to do with how late Madonna took the stage — over two hours after the scheduled show time. Not surprisingly, the crowd looked absolutely exhausted toward the end — and not in a "That show was so much fun" type of way, but more like, "Why did we have to listen to that DJ for so long?"  
 
An even bigger issue was the set list, which focused too strongly on newer material instead of the hits. Now, I don't have a problem with new material — just bad new material, which is the kind Madonna is serving up these days.  
 
The 57-year-old Michigan native made her grand entrance around 10:15 p.m., appearing in an interesting medieval setting to belt out the uninspiring "Iconic," from this year's "Rebel Heart," Madonna's 13th studio effort to date. The eyes remained entertained, even if the ears weren't, as Madonna and her sizable cast of dancers took a martial arts approach to the marginal new album cut, "(Expletive) I'm Madonna." In all, it was a pretty lackluster way to start a show.  
 
She then zoomed back for "Burning Up," the popular single from her self-titled debut of 1983. But she refused to play the wonderful dance-pop tune straight, instead deciding to grab an electric guitar and rock it up a bit. It was one of many remixes that simply didn't work in the show.  
That's infuriating. It's bad enough that Madonna wanted to stock the set list with subpar new songs. It's worse that she decided to sabotage many of the old fan favorites on the docket by playing them in new arrangements. Yeah, thanks for making it hard for us to sing along, Madonna.
She really was in need of a better game plan. She'd rush in the wrong spots, sowing together infuriating snippets of some of her best-known offerings (such as "Dress You Up" and "Lucky Star") when a better choice would've been to play the whole songs. Then she'd dawdle when the exact opposite approach was called for, such as when she allowed the wind to go out of the sails of the main-set closer, "Unapologetic (Expletive)," as she chatted with an audience member. It was one of the most anticlimactic main set closers I've ever seen.
Still, Madonna exhibited plenty of star power. And the visuals were often interesting enough to carry the moment. Yet, we'd hoped for so much more than just that from Madonna's Rebel Heart Tour.

Madonna Tears Through Hits At Shark Tank
http://activate.metroactive.com/2015/10/madonna-tears-through-hits-at-shark-tank/
In The Picture of Dorian Gray, the title character retains eternal youth because a painting absorbs all the negative affects of his aging. Madonna must have one of those locked away in a Calabasas Kabbalah Center. She’s nothing short of a demi-god. And last night, during her appearance at the SAP Center, every single walk of life came to worship at her phallic altar.
 
Attendees of this stop on her Rebel Heart Tour included: Thots in hitched-up one-pieces, three generations of selfie-snappers, wholesome nuclear families, Duck Dynasty look-alikes, Russian/Vietnamese/Spanish-speakers, leather lovers, trim cougars in slinky dresses, Material girls (and women), and tons and tons of well-groomed men.
 
EDM-er Michael Diamond opened for Madonna, composing an hour and a half of chest filling deep house laced with disembodied hip-hop samples. The demure cotton-topped couple next to me endured him politely with a game of Words with Friends.
 
The trendy opener reflected Madonna’s constant reinvention, tracked by fan-worn tour T-shirts ranging from the curvy, bushy-browed beauty of yore to the polished avatar of sex that she is now. She refuses to stagnate, refuses to fade. She only ever adds new dimensions to her dodecahedron self. She incorporates whatever the kids are doing and makes it her own. And does it just as well, if not better. Miley Cyrus copies Madonna. But Madonna also copies Miley Cyrus.
 
The Queen of Pop opened with a monologue about having tits and an ass and an insatiable desire to be noticed. Then she led a tightly choreographed rebellion against an army of templars that seemed like they had been plucked from a dystopian novel where Ancient China and Egypt had been smushed together.

Her eyeliner flared at the corner. Her high cheekbones absorbed golden light. Her arms rippled with muscle. Her dirty blonde hair flowed long in a wild mane. Her smoky blue eyes radiated a persistent sexuality. Her maraschino cherry red lips pouted. Her diminutive height disappeared above Dikembe-Mutombo-middle-finger-sized stilettos. Her forehead flushed, but didn’t leak one bead of sweat down her angular marble-smooth face.
 
She stood astride a pole-swirling stripper like a surfboard and spanked a dancer 15 times for dropping a maraca. She forcefully groped and got groped back, drew attention to how “penisy†the heart-shaped tip of her thrust stage looked, humped any surface offered to her, and presided over a simulated man-on-man sex scene, a gyrating topless transwoman, and an androgyne clad half in a tuxedo and half in a shimmery flapper dress.
 
She said the word “fuck,†a lot.
 
Skipping about the stage, she flung her hair into a messy mane during “Like A Virgin,†and thumb-strummed a ukulele alone, while crooning “La Vie en Rose.†She flung tuxedoed suitors down a raked platform during a futurized rendition of “Material Girl.†During “Burning Up,†she whipped out a Flying-V guitar, dropped to her knees and shredded. She moved from channeling Mariachi’s mojo in “Who’s that Girl,†to twerking cat-walking and sneering to “Bitch, I’m Madonna.†She warbled over military drums for “Heartbreak City,†then draped herself in an American flag for her encore, “Holiday.â€

Finally, she ascended into the sky because where else could she go?
 
Despite the unblinking admiration of the jam-packed SAP Center, Madonna exists on an unreachable, astral plane—far removed from our mundane reality. She is an alien-envisioned ideal of a popstar. Hillary Clinton frequently came to mind.
 
But I think that’s the point. Madonna isn’t supposed to be like us. She doesn’t age, she merely levels up—reincarnates without dying. And this is why legions worship her. Because unlike all other things that wither, she preserves. She’s a constant in a world of relentless flux. She’s a beacon of immortality. Bitch, she’s Madonna.

Yes, the opening act is Michael Diamond http://www.madonna.com/news/title/new-support-artists-announced
 
When I first started the thread, Ticketmaster had Michael McDonald as the opening act which is prob a typo error. They have removed Michael Mc Donald from their ticket site but has not removed the name from the search.
You can still see Details for Gila River Arena: Madonna, Michael Mc Donald.
