Future Lovers still sounds live in the Las Vegas recording.
Jump has a lot of backing track in the Paris recording.
Lucky Star was lipsynched at most shows, or at least the first verse.
So I am wondering if it just depends on the night as well. I do wonder sometimes if it isn't her. During Blond Ambition sometimes you would hear her live voice and then it would be drowned out by the backing tape, as if someone was turning the level on her mic down and bringing up the backing tape. Might be why when Elton John accused her of lip syncing she could honestly say she sings live, as it seems she always does but the backing track is used at the discretion of the audio engineer. I don't think she ever doesn't sing with the track. We just don't always hear her.

Blond Ambition
Express Yourself - From Japan to about Oakland she sang live with a backing track. Her vocals are more present until Chicago (which was also the first city to have a cancelled concert) As her voice got worse from the laryngitis the backing track started drowning out her live voice. Except you can hear it on the London radio 1 broadcast, albeit not the whole way through.
Open Your Heart only had minor stuff at the very end with ("C'mon baby", "watch out" lines) the rest 100% live no backing track.
Where's the Party - Similar to Express Yourself
Vogue - Madonna did sing live with a backing track, but you rarely heard her voice, in fact I only know of one concert in Japan and one in London when her voice came through (maybe Barcelona too)
The rest may have had backing for choruses and minor parts only, such as Keep it Together having only the "Keep people together" lines with a backing.
Girlie Show
Erotica - Only in London does her voice come through at all. It would have been impossible to make this work in stadiums with the talking parts. Sometimes the Chorus does sound live with assistance
Fever - Had a backing track for many dates that went in and out, sometimes over her voice sometimes not. Sydney definitely didn't have it, and possibly she stopped using it at some point on the tour.
Vogue - Again she sang with a backing track, but her live vocals rarely came through and only usually at the beginning of the song.
Bye Bye Baby - This was mentioned, but I disagree, only lipped for MTV Awards as far as I know
Holiday - Not sure about the "Make me sweat, make me wet" lines and possibly "Hit me one time" etc I have heard boots where her voice sounds different during those bits and she sings slightly differently. Maybe some nights and not others. It did look lipped on the DVD.
Justify My Love - All the speaking parts. Pretty sure the sung part at end is live, possibly has backing, though never noticed.
Drowned World
Sky Fits Heaven - This is the only one I know, and I am sure it was entirely lipped.
Re-Invention
Vogue - There was so much debate about this at the time, with people literally dissecting each line from different nights to compare. I have yet to determine, but it seems pretty split, with many adamant she used a rehearsal vocal. I must admit her vocals sound almost exactly the same on each night.
Nobody Knows Me - May have had assistance, it does sound more like her live voice through the vocoder.
Die Another Day - Debated, not nearly as much as Vogue. I can't tell
Confessions
Future Lovers - Only sung live opening night.
Jump - Many feel she lipped this, I don't agree, hard to tell. Since she doesn't move about too much it would be easy for her to sing this live each night and sound the same.
Sorry - Definitely lipped. Even on the DVD her vocals sound perfect until the last couple of lines, when she sounds out of breath and deeper.
Erotica/You Thrill Me - I think only assistance in some parts, probably mostly chorus. I have heard her sing this well and also poorly so was not lip synced.
Sticky & Sweet
I will go out on a limb and say none of the songs were entirely lipped, however I think Madonna got smarter about using backing tracks during Confessions (or RIT according to many), and often used them in places to help her to dance and catch her breath, and also to fill out her live vocals more.She also stopped using studio versions and often used rehearsal takes, thus making it sound more live.
She definitely had assistance, but again I can't point to a single song that sounds 100% lip synced except Music (except when she talks) and DWRY. So I guess I can point out some, lol.
MDNA
Girl Gone Wild - Many say she used a rehearsal take, unsure myself
Papa Don't Preach - Pretty sure this was 100%. During Berlin it looks like her mouth says "The one you said I could live without" while the vocal comes out as "The one you said I could do without"
Give Me All Your Luvin' - Possibly assistance, sounds pretty live to me, though too high pitched considering EY was in such a low voice. So maybe lipped.
Celebration/Give It 2 Me - It seems she started out almost 100% lip syncing this and sang it more live once GI2M was added.
Rebel Heart
Bitch I'm Madonna - may have been live during some shows. Was definitely lipped in many
Holy Water - Sounds lip synced to me. Maybe parts of Vogue are live. Except in Melbourne she is definitely singing over a backing track. So hard to tell as I can hear her live voice.
The rest I can't tell. I also haven't listened to many shows on this tour either. Most of it sounds live to me.
-
is it a single from a studio album?
-
Fair enough, I just meant any music chart at the time of its release.
Is this song from Bedtime Stories?
-
Did this song hit the top 10?
-
Was this song performed on a tour that went on the road within a year of the single being released.

You got it. well done. I thought this would be a tough one due to it being so obscure, but Karen is one of my fave singers too, so I wanted to choose something a little different. Congrats. Your turn now.

Okay I will give one last clue. This woman is technically part of a group and Madonna has been seen/heard singing their songs numerous times and usually gets the rest of the crew on films/music video shoots to sing with her. Madonna once said this woman "had the clearest, purest voice. I'm completely influenced by her harmonic sensibility."
-
Well technically neither, think more behind the scenes which may have aired on television, which is why this might be a particularly hard one. Think Madonna's favourite singer as well. Last clue I will give Madonna stated Rain was a tribute to this woman. Her favourite singer.
-
I will give another clue it is 70's but the first time she was seen on video doing it was the 90's
-
I will give a clue as I think this will be too hard, No not from the 80's and it is a cover
-
Thanks and thanks
-
Thank you very much. I haven't been following this thread long so not sure the exact rules.
Okay I have one, but this is probably going to be a hard one so I might have to give some clues. We will see how we go.

I have been searching all over the internet, does anyone or know of a website for the making of 1989 Madonna Express Yourself video. I seen one for vogue,etc. None for Express Yourself. If any clues or answers it would be great thanks.
The Vogue outtakes/Making of wasn't an official release. It was leaked. In 1989 MTV used outtakes of Express Yourself to promote the music video before it aired. They used these again in 1990 during their Blond Ambition coverage (Blond Date specials). However no on set/Behind the Scenes/Making of video has leaked for Express Yourself.
As far as I know we have the following
La Isla Bonita
Vogue
Rain
Hollywood
(Any others I forgot?)
There is also apparently Secret floating around which has not leaked and there are official making of programs for Hollywood, Die Another Day and Me Against the Music. I am almost sure she also did one during Confessions era, but can't remember what. Oh and a sort of making of for American Pie that aired on Entertainment Tonight.
-
I think it is real, she had it as a teen before moving to NYC. I think she did color it in to bring it out more. Plus moles can fade or become lighter in color. It is also possible it changed color and she had it removed as a precaution. If it is still there I would assume she just doesn't color it and probably gets covered up with foundation or make-up powder.
-
Yeah I would say closer to the end of the year if we are lucky. Well we might get a broadcast first, she may do another EPIX broadcast, as I believe that went well with MDNA.

Hmmm seeing the vids of both nights in Sydney, I am not sure which I would prefer. Somehow the 19th just seems better, not sure why. I assume they will do a mix. Though even though there is the fun of Madonna getting spanked and it is sentimental as it is the last show, she seemed more sad and touched on the 19th and that acid tongue is just hilarious with her dragging the press and making fun of the whole Brisbane incident.

Another thing, Madonna thank you for your humour on this tour. Never did I think I would laugh so much. Was such a joy just to spend the night with you.
As tough as this couple years has been, I wish I could express what an absolute joy it has been to be a fan. The amazing Rebel Heart album, a solid collection of songs, no words can describe it, truly one amazing album. The promo, never thought I would see anything like it again, what we got was a thrill and a gift. This tour. even with all those losers in the press dragging her, with all the personal heartache, she got up on that stage every night with a smile on her face and a song in her Rebel Heart. Been a fan for 30 years this year, never thought I would ever see Madonna open up her heart to her fans as she has on this tour, which is truly what made it the greatest tour she has ever done.
The gifts she gave to us Aussies, after 23 years she brought her best tour to town, gave us Tears of a Clown and chose Sydney to immortalize once again for the official release.
Thanks for the love and I look forward to what you bring next, fan for life.

I would say I want Courtney Act as well. She was fun and that was the show I attended, so I am biased. lol

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. It's all over. Love you Madonna, thank you for the thrill of seeing you live and sharing your rebel heart.
"You Can Dance" & Who's That Girl Tour
in The World Tours
Posted
You Can Dance was scheduled for Nov/Dec 1986 according to Billboard articles at the time. Not sure why it got pulled, so yeah the remix was done prior to the tour, but was not heard by the public until the tour.
