So we're having the real audio version and the autotuned one! I'm so happy it will be broadcasted live. We won't even have to wait for the DVD release

After seeing this show live four times and attending various other concerts by different artists where I noticed just few mistakes, yet hearing several imperfections when watching videos later, I've realized why imperfections are much less noticeable live.
Yeah, if you really pay attention you might spot them all, but you have to be super analytical, and that only happens if you're not caught up in the energy of the show.
When I was there at the CT I noticed when she sang badly, but not as much as I do when I watch videos.
I'm no expert, but I think live concerts have incredible pro audio systems that can hide some flaws with stuff like reverb or really detailed equalizations that just make everything sound better. The sound is rich; it's not just about her voice, it's so good that her voice is not the main thing.
At home, it's a different story. The audio isn't the same, and smartphones just don't capture sound the same way.
But, of course, smartphones aren't making stuff up, they pick up what's actually happening. But when you play those videos back, the mistakes that weren't hidden by the concert's audio are way more obvious.
The atmosphere of a live concert is also different. It’s electrifying, with lights, crowds, and the general energy of the event that keeps you from noticing the inaccuracies. Being part of a happy crowd singing along undoubtedly has an impact.
At home, things are quieter and more chill. When you're watching a recording, you end up zoning in on the details of the performance way more.

Yes in one country where you are sent to jail for littering or cutting the hands of people who stole in the past, zero tolerance for drugs in the present, no mockery of any religion and of course homosexuality is forbidden, a little different than Brazil I believe 
As mentioned it was only in Singapore, when I was there I saw that that very harsh method seemed to have worked very well for them, very beautiful place. 

I agree. She looks absolutely beautiful. I don't know why they've made her cheeks so huge on the cover of that new magazine Re-edition cause she looks way more natural on stage.

Yeah, and she never touches the piano in the part where she fixed her hair. Obviously there's a recorded track with drums and other instruments and Madonna's prerecorded vocals. It's not just piano + voice

That's almost always the case with any artist. The artists ive seen live i've never really notice the imperfections until i re-watch my videos.  Its because you're in the moment. So you guys are right... Btw some imperfections i love, it makes concerts more real and human. 

Of course, she is playing.  Some are making more of this than it is.  It's not impossible to think she isn't playing "Bad GIrl" along with recorded backing.  Just like Madonna singing along with her recorded vocals.  I don't understand why this must be an issue?  Mercy obviously is a great pianist!  I'm certain she's playing her solo part.  That is the whole point of her feature, which many are failing to acknowledge.  Her performance leads into "Bad Girl" which no doubt includes a full backing instrumental and vocal which both Madonna and Mercy are performing to.  Therefore, she's playing along with a recording. Madonna is singing along with a vocal recording.  It doesn't mean she isn't playing live or Madonna isn't singing live.  So what? She took a moment to fix her hair.   It's not a hard concept to comprehend that she joined in after doing so.

You can clearly see she NEVER plays these notes (which would be high ones). 

It's not her piano, I think these are pre-recorded sounds

Not mimed. There are just few notes. And maybe the sound is not even a piano. 
I attended a show behind Mercy and I'm sure it was her playing. I used to play the piano when I was a kid and I would recognize if she was faking it

Yasss queen a new song about being invited to the Met Gala several times and finally revealing what they all do in there (more like Illuminati Part 2) 😍

Yeah, many people suggest she should change the finale for the Copacabana show, and I agree. I'm not fond of the current tour finale, it wouldn't suffice for such a major event.
Everyone agrees that Music is the ideal song for a finale. I can picture a million people singing, "Music makes the people come together." It would be incredible! 
And I will be there, so I hope this is what she's doing for the finale!
It's the perfect song for a large audience.

This is interesting ... I don't know how could it work honestly, as the meaning and the mood of the set was pretty coherent with DCFMA, but Music would really deserve her spot in the show. I would love it to be the finale guys, it's so much her place getting the playa jumping and screaming 
ANYWAY, starting by that, I have a curiosity now, whoever will be so kind to answer  The Celebration tour is basically perfect and (except the Take a bow catastrophe of course: #copacabanaforrain ) I never wanted to add stupid personal stuff to spoil the experience and the joy everybody felt in these months. At the same time, the tour is ending now and I'm very curious to know: if you could change, add, cut just two things to arrange the show to your personal taste even more, what would they be? Just two, in the structure M wanted and created for her show.
Mine are (considering Rain or Frozen for the last segment, as originally conceived)
Cutting BIM and getting to Music when she gets the central stage, dancing it with all the cast for a bigger and more impactful finale I'm a great supporter and fan of the 80% of Madame X and I think that the catholic religion segment should have been a little longer. So after LAP I would have loved a one minute and a half performance of Dark Ballet, with Christ and the damned souls becoming oppressors on her. I think the sound of the Act of Contriction reversed choir and the Prince's electric guitar solo entering on the dramatic piano closing of Dark Ballet would have created an even more powerful effect of pain, violence and sacredness.
