    Can you imagine what it means to play a piano on playback, pressing the piano keys? The piano would still make a sound of a certain intensity that would be heard. Moreover, she is playing the correct notes, and it's obvious to anyone who has ever played a piano in their life.

    There is such thing as a silent piano . The hammers don’t hit the strings at all, instead a sensor captures the movement of the keys and so it can output the sound digitally which means you could play and listen to on headphones. So it’s quite possible Mercy would be hearing her own playing through in ear monitors while the audience hears pre-recorded piano playback instead.

    Im not suggesting I agree it’s not her playing we are hearing, I have never thought about it or watched her closely . But it’s certainly a possibility. There could be technical reasons why they prefer to do it that way, to simplify the mixing process or bypass having to tune the piano regularly which would be an added expense for just 1 song. I don’t know enough about those things though to comment about that. It is certainly true that it sounds note perfect every night.

    I think it holds up pretty well or more than we would have expected back then simply because when Hard Candy was released we all felt like 'she is too late at the party", "Timbaland sound is so outdated he did with Justin, Nelly Furtado, Ciara (and many others) already" 

    But now 16 years later, that era basically blends together. We no longer care if this sound was done half year ago (and if Nelly Furtado did all that one year before Madonna) and Madonna is just copying it with Hard Candy, rather than setting trends as before.

    Hard Candy can be seen now as the album that simply summarizes the sound of late 00s and all songs trending in charts then. If it does in a particular good way or bad way, everyone needs to answer for themselves. But it is now more product of its time, rather than "too late at the party album". 

    Exactly. So now we can enjoy the songs for what they are . It’s a great pop album. Way more consistent than everything that came after it.

    Just voted, it was so much fun! It's kinda sad we're doing these things because the tour is coming to an end, but everything is going on so perfectly, already an iconic tour, can't wait to have the professional recording from Rio to watch it everyday :cry:

    Saaaaame. I’m so excited that we will get a pro shot version as the tour ends. I never thought in a zillion years that would happen!

    "Malibu" is one of my fav track. 

    I really liked Celebrity Skin back in the day.

    People can trash Courtney as a nobody but Hole were actually one of the most successful female fronted rock bands and she’s an icon of the grunge era. She was also an important feminist role model in the 90’s. The fact she was included with Tina and Madonna on the Rolling Stone women in rock issues says it all.

    I don’t particularly like her as a person but give me her authenticity over Taylor Swift any day.

    “Live Through This” and “Celebrity Skin” are two of my favorite albums from the 90s- the kind of albums you could listen to in their entirety…Though both allegedly had Kurt Cobain then Billy’s  fingerprints all over them. Courtney is smart but she’s made a lot of mistakes mainly due to her drug addiction; most of her recent  comments about other female musicians reeks of regret from her own lost opportunities.

    I think she also hates mainstream pop music.

    I think her media presence is comparable to Madonna's... not for the same reasons and with the same narrative, but you literally can't escape her, there are reports about her every move... Just think of the whole story about her flight from Japan to the US for the Superbowl, even the Japanese embassy made a statement about it :laughing:

    Exactly. Even though I can't stand her her level of fame has reached Madonna's at her peak. The only female singer comparable to Madonna's fame would be Britney.

    Back On Topic:

    So, I'm assuming there is no such thing as, Angel - Fade Edit! I can't find it anywhere listed as that, officially. 

    It's just called Radio Edit?

    On the Angel 7” the edit was just listed as ‘Angel’ but was a fade of the album version.

    The title ‘Angel (Fade Edit)’ comes from the Japanese CD Single Collection box set released in 1996.

    The digital release is the first time it’s been labelled as ‘Radio Edit’ but it’s the same version.

    The more i watch current videos of the Celebration tour the less i like that cover picture. Why the hell do they make her look so plastic with huge cheeks and lips when on fans videos from the tour she looks way more natural and much more beautiful ??! Sorry but she looks like the bride of Chucky on that cover. I believe they've edited the pic very badly cause she looks way better every night on stage.

    Wait til you see the rest of the pics :04:
