I agree with almost all of this What's taking me to write is especially the HUGE love and sense of underrating I feel about Living for love, with the Avicii's dance Rebel Heart version, a pure Madonna classic. Those were songs that - released just a few years before - would have had the stature of Ray of light, Music or Hung Up. About Swift, you know, let's see when these kids will become grown ups if she'll be able to convince a second and then a third generation (what M was doing with the Confessions massive success ) @sara94 I don't expect a Rio announcement honestly, maybe just the Max Martin new track. But I'm SURE she's got a good album in the works wich will see the light of the day quite soon, in a one year time at most (wich means announcement in the early 2025 for a spring release: just the time to produce the Celebration Tour doc or official BR).

On monday night Globo Tv will open the dances with a special about the Queen

Sorry I disagree, she is selfindulgent at times imo. We can't be so inspired and inspiring every night to keep people attention and emotions high for 8 MINUTES! Said that, for me it's ok either way, just skipping in case

This is starting to be problematic ... of course Come on guys, contact any Internet genius we know, we've got a week to solve this. I mean, HOW CAN WE NOT SHARE THIS ALL TOGETHER LIVE? It will be amazing, like the debut night on the 14th of October, when we were all connected, commenting and enjoying the huge surprise this tour revealed to be for us. We've got to close this as it started

Yeah that's a point actually, the reliable information is the timing of the broadcasting. And yes, I agree @Pedro Beltran, she's got to seriously shorten especially the EY speech. No way she could stay there talking for 7, 8 minutes in Rio

Yeah interesting, also because it's broadcasted live so she's got to be strict. I don't think she's gonna completely cut the speeches, she will surely shorten 'em but the amount of time she could spare by cutting the speeches is about ten minutes not more. From the news surfacing I think we're gonna have real changes ... She rehearsed Music, she wanted Anitta to be on stage (she won't but she was requested to), they say she will perform two or three new songs on the setlist: what if we're not gonna have the last section (the only hit is ROL there) and just a pair of short songs before La Isla/DCFMA and then straight to BIM? In this way, she could sing Live to tell without the flying thing and they won't risk anything with the structure of the stage and the squared elevator in such a different location.

Thank you so much, I really needed this and I can certainly get how offensive the stereotype is. Here in Italy I never heard about it. This is one of the reasons why I love to get in touch with people around the world, connected by common passions, we help each other to see things EDIT: in the meanwhile there's a Madonna bridge over here

I understand, sorry. Of course thosee are just my feelings about it. I really don't feel E, ITG and BU, I don't like the coreos, the costumes are way too much for me and I also rarely feel the energy at a high level. I like the ITG finale though For me, after NRM, the show starts from OYH and I would not change ANYTHING till BIM. I agree about Music being great, it's my favourite light dance track with Deeper and deeper, Express yourself and Living for love, it's amazing. About the reasons of the final scrap, of course it was about not stressing her body too much, what I was supposing is that if it were too brilliant or essential they could not cut it out. Said that, I'd be happy if she performed it, I don't wanna be misinterpeted about that. It's just that what I read did not convince me, but - you know - it's all just "on paper", nobody ever really watched it so ...

So tonight is THE night apparently I need a RAIN report

I remember 4 minutes, candy shop, back that up and music, but I could be wrong

I am honestly a little scared about that section, the cut off one (4 minutes, Back that up, Candy shop and Music). Apparently it was staged like a kind of dance battle between her and the dancers. The weakest parts of the whole show are the first three tracks after NRM and BIM imo. Now we don't know how it worked actually BUT I'm not sure about an entire section of dancey numbers (with strong and got up to speed coreos she is still excellent though, she's still got it - in Hung up or Don't tell me for example). What we know is that the tracks were not that incredible and she cut it off so maybe not the most convincing part of the show. You know wich song rehearsed till a very few weeks before the debut night I would really love to see staged? Oh father ... and of course I really can't see it happening

Don't say sorry man we're here to play. And I'm gonna play telling you that I can't see the excluded set getting back in full form. Also because the tracks were not major hits except Music and 4 minutes. I can see Music finally happening though and I hardly imagine M closing a huge beach party with over 1 million people with a ballad. I get your point and it could have worked in arenas actually. I think she will leave the stage with the Celebration outro in Rio anyway ... or with a bigger banger.

You had my same idea music - we know she rehearsed it (maybe a kind of Faz Gostoso moment with Anitta, someone wrote she is reported as a gueststar on Globo tv or somewhere similar) and, yes, when will she ever have another chance like this to launch the Max Martin track? Said that, about me, I use to dare speculations quite often because I never get that disappointed if things don't get real. I'm lucky, I just get the fun of it. I've been profoundly disappointed in other cases though tbt. Listening to Hard Candy for example or to MDNA, those were really bad moments.

Ok apparently a Rio event producer revealed that Madonna will sing in Copacabana 2 or 3 MORE songs than she has been singing on the tour. The rehearsals should take place in the 5 halls of the Copacabana Palace! So, if true, not just the Music performance coming (I can't help but being super excited for the live broadcasting, the last time I saw one of her shows live on tv I was 22 ) And YES Mexico, the friday night show still is the LAST proper Celebration Tour performance, Copacabana is more like a worldwide live event to close the tour 10 DAYS TO GO!! (this is the exclusive merch by the way ... I don't know if it was already shared)

I agree about a plausible album in the works and the possible need to finish it and add tracks about her recent experiences, but I would prefer a 11-13 properly selected tracks form this time. Without any bitching kind of shit, I mean we've been there so many times at this point I really don't need it anymore Let's hope not, let's really hope not. 2024 is honestly too optimistic imo, still possible around Christmas but honestly too positive, 2025 feels fine and acceptable, 2026 is really too much: that would mean 7 YEARS AFTER MADAME X

Two nice pics

Apparently Celebration, the album, is number one on the Mexico ITunes albums chart!! C'me on Brazil, it's your turn now!!!!

Agree, the coreo is not that cool then imo. I mean it can be felt as a nice tribute, but when you present the Hung Up disco routine, the cowgirl steps or the vogueing poses you don't need to ask cause it's simply cool to do

I think they want it to be huge on the Copacabana beach, they're trying to involve the audience in a huge finale effect.

Oooooooh my love's coming down all over guys It's got to be RAIN, it's always been about RAIN, even when she was messing up with tab Thanks so much Pedro

As PERFECT, emotional and gracefully sounding are the executions of EY and LIB, as completely out of key and messy is the DCFMA one we need to take care of this in Rio

Absolutely agree, as I wrote in my post I do love it too, this is so effective it could also be a proper blueray cover, getting the whole celebratory intention and feeling of the show. Even if about effectiveness, from the recent weeks, this one still remains unparalleled for me

Basically on the same track Some nice pics guys, the first one is very very cute imo

I see, it's possible: let's hope so. Frozen would definitely also fit the section, both visually and in terms of sound. It would also maybe be the most clever choice for a full hits package, especially if she is really adding a more complete Music version in Rio. With EY, Frozen and Music the setlist is basically her whole biggest hits catalogue, fully performed or quoted (like Material girl in the intro or PDP for the BA tribute). Frozen was NOT out of place, NOT boring as hell and was always SANG WELL. Of course Rain still remains my favourite one in terms of beauty of the song, vocal quality and effectiveness (it's the song where the opening slow dance with the caped figure, the wind effect and the finale worked better imo and I found the association with the Frozen imaginary creative and coherent at the same time, very Madonnesque). Let's just put the TAB nonsense as a bouns I will watch once in my whole life then EDIT PS - let's not completely forget the third option of a TOD third and last documentary chapter (wich I would not be particularly curious about honestly). I mean, the live broadcasting, redited for a second release, and after six months the hits 40 years of career celebration tour documentary is still a possibility imo.
