I am like dying. Mer Girl! Easy Ride! Intervention! Thanks for all the videos everyone!!!

I think the MDNA Tour version is my favorite. The bass line is fantastic there.

However, once the mic goes up, her vocal gets louder, and more uneven when she goes down for the "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" part. It's not playback, just a guided vocal (or the background singers beating her to the line). Plus Love Don't Live Here Anymore is clearly live.

I've listened to the Chicago HQ bootleg about 6,000 times and I'd say this probably one of the most "live" shows she's done. I think the autotune is all live, she just seems to really like the sound of it (I think it's kind of fun too). Her mic is definitely on during Body Shop ("Not for long baby, show me your abs!"), plus the vocals sound otherwise so lousy in Body Shop and Iconic that they wouldn't even be decent for fake live vocals. With the exception of Living for Love, I think everything is pretty much live/live+backing track/backup singers (can't forget them!). I don't think it gets too much into the weeds of "this verse is live/this one is not," etc.What I love most during this tour is when she sits her ass down and just BELTS it out. Showing all those people she can SING. (Of course she can sing, she'd be toast after 30+ years if she couldn't really, she's a great singer in the studio as we've heard from albums and demos over the years.)

I'll be there! Can't wait! Fingers crossed for Ghosttown!

Is the remix EP ever gonna be up on iTunes?
