    Speaking of I’ll Remember. A friend texted me the other day just to tell me that he saw the video for the first time and was blown away how beautiful she looked in it!

    Interestingly, I remember when that song was on the radio around where I live (Detroit), after the song played the DJ said "I just saw the video to this song yesterday. I don't know why a woman that can be so hot makes herself look so damn ugly!" 

    Irrelevant I know, just your friend's comment made me remember that. God, that pissed me off when I heard that, lol. that DJ was an asshole. 

     

  2. I used to love Boblo. I had a summer pass from 89 till 92. The summer of 93 I was 15 and applied to work there like my dad and sister did as a teens. I wasn't hired as since it was the last summer being opened, they had a limited amount of staff was my understanding. 

    I actually remember my neighbour friend and I in Amherstburg, Ontario Canada where I lived at the Boblo dock to catch the boat to go to the park on August 5, 1990. I was excited because my parents' friend who lived in Michigan was recording the BAT that night for me on HBO, and I was beyond excited as a 12 year old Madonna fan, still thrilled from seeing her live in June across the river. 

    I always got a kick out of that Boblo shirt she wore. I wish I had one, lol. Perhaps not a crop top though... Glad to see it back in whichever capacity.

    It was a kind of joke cause there's a never ending conflict going on for decades in the Madonna fanbase as to consider "I'm breathless" weither a studio album or a soundtrack !

    Personally I consider it a studio album, but I can understand why some say it's a soundtrack. To me, if it was an actual soundtrack, all songs should be in the movie - not just 3 or 4.

    I remember when it was in stores new. It was often placed next to the actual Dick Tracy soundtrack AND the Dick Tracy score CD. 

    The majority of the songs are just inspired from the movie or era the movie was set in, and the singles released from this album weren't in the movie either.

    I hate to name Burning Up 4:48  "ALTERNATE VERSION". For many fans is the real album version. :sad:

    I got the debut and Like A Virgin LP's for Christmas 1984. 

    The 4:48 version is the only version I knew of for years. It wasn't until we got cable TV in 1990 that I got MuchMusic here in Canada and saw the video with a different version in which I never knew existed. Then I bought myself the debut CD  later that year and was surprised to hear this "new" version on it. 

    Then a couple years later I bought an international CD single of Burning Up and heard yet another "new" version lol. 

    I was so confused but naturally over the years learned how and why it happened. 

    I'm sure everyone might have a similar/comparable story. 

  5. I think this tour, there's going to have be a bunch of medleys, or at least shortened songs. 

    I think that's a pretty obvious given. 

    And they will mostly be 90% all songs the general public knows, and probably a couple gems for the die-hards.

     

    I just wonder how thematically orientated this tour will be. We all know previously she chooses songs based on the segment or theme. Will this be more focused on spectacle this time around rather than particular themes? 

    We shall see!  :eyes:

  6. That happened to me too, and I live in Canada. I bought tix to Detroit, MI USA because the venue is 15 minutes from my house in Canada. I live in a border city. Toronto is 4 hours away from me. My credit cards weren't working, so I just used PayPal. That worked. 20 minutes later I get a fraud warning text from my credit card. By then it was too late and all the presale tix were sold.

    I don’t think a lot of the people with these codes are necessarily more dedicated or deserving than other fans. It would be better if the fans that are most dedicated today have a chance rather than just those who were part of a fanzine subscription that ended almost 20 years ago. They could just give access to anyone who has been signed up for 10 plus years surely, that would be basically everyone on here. A lot of fans cancelled those subscriptions before it ended because the service had gone to the dogs (irregular magazines etc.)

    That was me. I started my paying membership when I was 13 years old until I was 29. I cancelled due to the dwindling of value. Therefore, I have no lifetime legacy status. 

    That seems a little silly to me.

    This is the only way I attend a Madonna show.  I refuse to get a pit or floor ticket.  I want no part of that.  I always get a lower tier seat and you are right, you see so much more.  You have a wider perspective of the whole show, then right up close.  Sure, a floor or pit ticket may get you a chance to see her up close enough that she may drop sweat on you, but to me it restricts you from seeing where she is when performing other parts of the show.  Most every tour I've gone of hers, I've always chosen to sit in the lower tiers and was completely satisfied.  I only attended two shows with nosebleed tickets and that I didn't particularly enjoy either, but in those cases I had already seen the show a couple times already.

    This. 

    Plus, at 5'4 there is no way I'd ever do floor seats unless I was front row lol. 

    I was 19th row floor at the DWT in Detroit and although I had a blast, I could barely see a damn thing.
