Pretender1978

So at long last Vogue is confirmed and La Isla, is it getting more likely that EY won't be in? I was kind of sure that one would be centre and fron as it is such an important song and theme. Even though I have to admit she never topped the BA performance, GS was nice but all other versions lacked the power that song needs so maybe it's ok

so LIB, BU, DCFMA and Vogue

I don't care for any of her duets to be honest, some exceptions here and ther (I'm one the three fans that actually love Love Song and I adore GBA, but that's about it) but for some reason this one really is an earworm, I find myself humming it all of the time while I never ever play it

I was kind of planning not to look at anything once the show premieres as my first concert is in about a week, but all these teasers have made me really anxious. Which songs is she gonna play in full, which ones will be ommited all together, how is the show build up, how much is she on stage, will there be audience interaction lik RH or will it be more tight like MDNA, will Bob wear all these recreations of her costumes or will he play the cowbell on holiday? I am sure that in the end I will love all of it but I also feel I kind of need to know these things to be able to really let this show wash all over me and still be able to breathe maybe I should see a doctor first

I think it's just a distraction to calm down our racing hearts, but you are right

As Bob the builder is part of the show, do we think he is operating the time machine?

also, 17 costumes!!!

Well, you know I was making a sarcastic joke. But if you want to get into it seriously that would totally depend on the agreement made back in the day and who owns the copyright of the work. But most likely the image was bought, which is the most common thing to do with artworks for albums etc. giving the artist or label the freedom to use it without further compensation

you beat me to it. I always love these kind of lists, but this one has some nice new info too. Loving the time machine idea, the wobbly O always reminded me of these very oldfashioned warped visuals to represent time travel in movies

Do we think Christopher is preparing a post complaining that he isn't credited or compensated for the LAP long sleeve using his artwork?

It was reported by Caresse that after the AL video backlash they changed strategy with the release of R&R, to tone down her image and highlight her legendary status. The ads for RIT were teasing classics like Vogue, LAP, music, ITG so I'd say they definitely wanted to focus on her legendary body of work more than AL. But it still had plenty of AL in its setlist for sure, but it was also her most hits heavy tour to date and still is (maybe together with RH)

I think despise is a big word but yeah, it's basicly the same message as AL just dummed down music wise, I can understand the srtist in her is annoyed by that

I always kind of assumed that she resented how bowing down to popular demand and make an r&b record with the person everyone was working with at the time landed her her biggest no.1

As there is no full band present, do we think Stuart will join her on tour or did he just create all the backing tracks? I don't know why but not having a band, I feel she will be lonely though there are still 100s of crewmembers left to chat with of course

anyone seriously expecting she wouldn't perform HN doesn't really have a clue what she's all about do they? Again, it's a show celebrating her 40 year career, NOT a GH show. She was always gonna do this song in one way or another

as for the video backdrop, I really hope they don't feature too much of Madonna herself, but rather scenes and stages that remind us of her performances. Not sure how M singing in front of EY BAT footage will work. But I'm sure it will!

To some degree it's unfortunate we will miss the live aspect (even though it's debatable how "live" the last couple of tours were in the first place" but to hear Stuart talk about the original stems as stars, imagine what he will do to those original bass lines. Here I go again, but stuart please give us the ultimate Like A Prayer, witch choir, synths and bass. Also one final thing, when all is said and done can we please have a good old fashioned leak of the studio versions? Thank you

recently I've been watching LAP BA version and it makes me cry how good it is, stuart we know you love bass and synths, revive that version please! back to HUOT

she would

I had the same thought about hollywood. I could very well live without Music, it never really worked live as great as the record does. But JML!!!!!!

It is

maybe it's just ITG but with the Missy rap, like on RIT, I can live with that. Also all these latest remixes are so boring because they ommit her vocals, if HUOT features more lyrics I'm sure it would be great. Also if having features etc to save her voice during the show to sing Bad Girl, Rain, and let us pray Promise To Try (though M&F would be great too) then I'm all for it

wouldn't it? I have to this day never seen Madonna do spoken word live, there was the extra tidbit at the end which was live and amazing, but it was just one line repeated 30 times

But to have JML hopefully live for the first time makes up for a lot. we kind of knew expected feared for the hung up debacle, but if these teasers are the real deal we're getting Rain, Bad Girl, Oh Father, Erotica, Justify, Everybody, etc. not a whole lot could ruin it for me now. I never dared to hope we would get this many 90's and lesser known hits so I can accept the few duds so far
