Being pretty observant, I totally missed the mark on this one. Initially, I figured the vocal-video mismatch was due to the strong backing vocals, but on second look, they're not backing vocals at all. You guys are really sharp!
After checking out the Holiday video and this one: yeah, they've definitely done some autotuning, cranked up the backing vocals, and in spots, swapped out her live vocals with pre-edited recordings.
Pulling all that off in just ten minutes must've been quite the challenge.

Which one is the best quality-wise?

It's pretty much confirmed that they used vocals from other concerts. Maybe when they did not have time to autotune her voice, they replaced them and they did not check. In Don't Tell Me, when she kisses her daughter, her voice continues and it didn't sound like backing vocals to me.
(The video has timestamp of the moment I'm mentioning, if you press play it plays that moment)
In this video, if you watch the screens, her voice stops when she kisses her daughter and there's no backing track
 
 

good morning..most of the fanbase wants to blame on Kevin when the only "enemy" is M herself

Tonight I'll play it in my TV ♥️

If anyone thinks the crowd was not engaged enough from the mixing on the broadcast, well...
...think again!

Another ERA has gone!

Fan recording of the full show for those who want live vocals:

The effect of this version of Bedtime Story with a good audio quality is amazing   I'm obsessed.
Unfortunately, under a visual point of view, it's been penalized by the cube projection mulfunction and the most bizzarre tv direction moment of the evening  the director shoot twice the guys who were taking the ladder behind the cube for the dancer who had to reach her ... still great though.
Rain is amazing also, beautiful  

You know that they used rehearssl vocals to 'improve' the BsAs dvd and she sounded live enough for the producers to give them something to work. Kevin Antunes said in an interview that the production team wanted her to sound extremely youthful and that he had to go so hard on the vocals that he even had to pitch up what she said (and screamed; i.e. Borderline) during or in between songs because ot wouldn't have matched, otherwise. Please don't kill me as I can't figure out the source anymore.
"You know, I didn't really have a say in that. I approached it in a similar fashion as Stuart did with the previous tours. I took a good rehearsal day and mixed the vocal stem with the soundboard from Argentina but we quickly ran into the issue of her being out of tune a lot during those shows. You need to understand that we were almost at the end of the tour and Madonna's voice wasn't getting enough rest during the south american dates. So, we decided to pitch her speaking voice up a little to mix better with the rehearsals. Then when the label reviewed it, Madonna's tour director requested a clean-up of all the instrumentals we recorded during filming of the footage in Buenos Aires. It was very unfortunate because after that clean-up, everything sounded more studio-esque, which apparently, Madonna aimed for. With our PA system, it was very easy to work on that tour because our sound was very consistent across the board. If we didn't run into issues with the venue or technical stuff screwing us over - which rarely happened, anyway- the show in Berlin would sound just as good as the show in Los Angeles, for instance. I also did a version of the soundboard using stems from shows in which she gave good vocal performances and played it to her but she didn't like it very much. So, at the end of the day, a more artificial sound was preferred over a more rough mix. Sadly, for the audience noise, I had to use stock recordings to get it right sometimes. "

I don’t mind the layered and processed vocals as long as it sounds natural, for example live to tell, everybody, into the groove, and bad girl sound like just the backing vocals she’s supposed to be singing over. 
On the other hand the vocals in Hung Up and La Isla were completely fine. 
Erotica sounded amazing on the non spoken parts
Open Your Heart was okay sounding
All this needs is a little bit more prominent lead vocal on some songs to make it a perfect recording 

Is there a 4K version? I'm sure the cameras were 4K, but I only see 1080p videos. Maybe it was broadcasted only in 1080p and we'll get 4K version sooner or later in streaming platforms 

She looks AMAZING without the wig. I'm sure she's gonna wear it, but if I'm wrong I'll be so happy. She looks so young and fresh, I think Hung Up would really benefit from this hairstyle.
During ROL and Rain I think the wig looks good, though

I'll say it's too tight. Her boobs are pressed too much.
I prefer the older one

It would be sad. I think it's an important moment of her narrative
Anyway, don't know about the new corset. I'll wait for the official broadcast to judge, because she'll also have the wig and it will look different 

- It was a full dress rehearsal tonight until 2 am. 
- no sound because of city restrictions past 00 am. 
- new vogue corset
- Pablo Vittar was ballroom judgue (maybe just for rehearsals and tomorrow will be Anitta) 
- Music feat Vittar right after La Isla Bonita
- No DCFMA and no Mother & Father
- Live to tell and Ray Of Light on the BS cube.
- not sure if she rehearsed Rain, Frozen or TAB.
- No wigs tonight. 

Because they dont need madonna herself to rehearse the basics. Like technical parts, the dancers, the stage… 
once there were videos on youtube of the mdna telaviv rehearsal with a body double too.

LOL, NO. By 8pm, the time she appeared, there was no sign of sunlight. 

Of course she will. But I agree with @chaosmen1984mk
The wig makes her look worse, older and less natural at the same time.
 

OMG
Please Madonna No twerking!! Please! Why?

Love your humor 😆
I think the flying box is not fundamental at all. I mean, it's cool, especially during Live to Tell. But she can make a great show without it 😆

They said she doesn't do public rehearsals anymore because she doesn't want to be photographed make-up free. Now it's confirmed ahah
