    I don't really see her performing Vogue on RIT as "damage control".  The whole tour may have been promoted and to include some huge hits to soften her image after American Life, but she still performed a good number of her songs from American Life like any other tour she's done when touring off her recent release.  I never felt she was trying to avoid performing Vogue at that point in her career either.  But we have to be realistic here. Madonna's mainstream success plays a huge role in her popularity, so no matter how tired she gets of her older songs, she knows those are the songs that most people want to hear.  But again, Re-Invention still featured a good dose of her American Life album.  But it definitely was a tour, that she was able to balance out the AL songs with a lot of other previous big hits as well.

    I completely agree with you. It was incredible at the time. She was acknowledging older songs in the AL promo tours too, so I don't think it was a rescue stratergy for AL. Reinvention was just the first time she fully embraced her body of work in my opinion and it was amazing as a fan.  I think artisically it was probably a natural progression following the video montages that were used in Music performances and the reaction at DWT to holiday.  I disagree with the phrase damage control as her career is always changing and reflecting. My point here was that Erotica was not subjected to 'damage control'. If anything the follow up single I'll Remember and the Bedtime Stories was a reaction to Erotica. Not the single choices from Erotica nor the tour content of Girlie Show. 

  2. I don't think Erotica was subjected to 'damage control' ...  The only time I think in Madonna's whole career I think you could feel an element of damage control was the Reinvention Tour. It was a total surprise when she pulled out Vogue etc. At the time even though you wished for those songs to be performed you some how never believed she would play them again.  She played her Ace card... Like she will do on Saturday. 

  3. Incredible - So nice to hear it all again.  The critics on here are harsh.  If you would have told me 20 years ago that when I am 40 I would be awaiting a new Madonna album and tour film, I would never have imagined the creative output she still has.  We are so lucky she keeps going and has a desire and creative drive far beyond what is expected or required.  I remember being overcome wirth emotion during this show when she performed Frozen and Come Alive.  Grateful to her for continuing to fight and move forward and grateful for the experiences, concepts, things and people she has introduced me to. I was proud to still be sitting in that room.  She broadened my mind imeasurably and her message is still there, loud and clear.  It makes me sad to see how narrow minded her critics/fans are.  

  4. Kylie's album is fun and I have been a fan from the beginning, but there is a point where you think can a 50+ year old woman really have nothing to say/share through her music. I've said it a few times when listening to Disco.... Madonna would get absolutely slated if she put out that album.  The press would not take it from Madonna.

    I’m back. Of course, amazing!
    She was an hour late but I didn’t care :smuglaugh: Vogue was the opener. Frozen was the greatest thing I’ve ever witnessed and other highlights for me were Come Alive, Batuka, Like a Prayer, I Rise, and American Life.

    Frozen floored me! I spent the whole thing mesmerised and then completely lost it near the end!
