it's an album that I appreciate more picking the songs out of it and now from a distance. Mind you I never care much about Bedtime Stories until quite late.
As others comment I think the big crash was due to be after the electronic evolution from ROL onwards. She was playing with dance-pop sounds and bringing something different with each album, then she landed into generic 00's sound.
But I never like 4 minutes and I can't listen to the album straight. I like 2 songs then I don't care about the next and so on.

Whattt I love Spanish Lesson! All the Spanish I know, I learned from that song
"Yo soy loco" means "You drive me crazy"
...more like I'm a madman with bad grammar.
Now if you want to say You drive me crazy you'll say- ' Me vuelves loco'

The secret word is aesthetic.. In Hard Candy, there is none. Even a photo of 'boxing M-Dolla' doesn't really fit with pink candy theme. While COADF is absolutely consistent in terms of topic, colors etc.
I disagree , while Hard Candy the concept is as corny as a dad joke. With CODF the whole concept is dated and so 2000 amateur graphic designer job. I remember discussing it in the forum before and went down investigating and is the same guy that did I believe rebel Heart and MDNA design.
Bedtime stories is far more interesting and better put together.
The typefonts are an interesting choice, using a modern style font, with an attempt of neon effect (just go into layer styles and add glow) matching with a cursive handwritten. Adding a 3D element of a globe that suppose to look like a disco ball. But is not a disco ball is a globe. None of the typefonts represent 70s or disco.
Background: an overlay gradient with pattern of circles that suppose to represent the disco ball reflecting, but they don't. They look like a weird circle pattern from the 50s
Madonna cutout like a paper-doll and buttered up with a soft filter removing any shadows or lines and adding color over layers that make her hair and skin look like the coloured photos from the 20s. She even has a shadow over , from the title, because nothing cast more shadow than a neon light (?)
It's a mess from a visual graphic point of view. The photoshoot with Klein has lots of great photos and they used the lights and reflection so good. Just to get them all wiped out and do that cover.
One of the photos with some profesional editing, keeping the disco lights contrast and add some simple but retro typeface. Like from Studio 54. And you have a great, classy effective cover.

Dissing Hard Candy for looking like a blotched photshop job and putting CODF on the top. along the best, better designed and more photographic cover.
That cover is whack. looks like a parody

But you know what they meant so you could've just said which acts they exist between. I personally don't remember.
That was'nt the question the question was if the interludes were opening or closing parts to the different sections. And if that was the case how.
Let's say one was Interlude: Madonna NY or Madonna Club scene. Another Sex/Religion and so on and I don't believe there are such an interludes in this tour.
The first interlude is : 'The Sacrifice' with the dancers doing Living For Love, after the LAP part and having Bob talking about the 90s. It makes sense after the first part being the 80s and the next part being the Erotica/Justitfy My love. After Bad Girl they go into the Ballroom without interlude.
The next one is the Beast Within that is just a revisit to the ReInvention tour one. She started this after setting the stage on fire so that's the link and it goes into the Die another Day considering the bellic (American Life) concept of the previous part I guess it works but again its not an intro nor a closing from what we saw before..
Next interlude is the one with the screens showing the 'controversy' of Madonna during the decades, this again is about Madonna, not a theme, and cuts to Bedtime stories.
The last one is the LAV/Billy Jean

You should note that the interludes in this tour serve to enrich the narrative about Madonna's history. They include songs she doesn't perform live, tributes to iconic moments in her career, and more. These interludes are integral to the show, seamlessly bridging different eras of her music during the transitions between the singing parts.
In contrast to previous tours, where interludes varied in theme matching the different themes within a show. But the theme in this show is Madonna.

hmm i thought it was the pitch distortion but I don't think the vocals are Madonna at all.

I always though the reason they never put WTG in anything was because how close it was to La Isla Bonita.
I think they tried to replicate the success of the sound to boost the movie, but the movie was a flop and so they ditch the song too.
Causing a Commotion was more like a ITG. It worked well as single dancey pop radio friendly track.

I don’t think you’ll go trough the hotel, hotels in Brazil are not on the beach, as I remember there’s a big gap with a wide two way four lanes road between the hotel and the beach
Right, maybe the 'hotel' means an station or gate that advertises the hotel , maybe they divert traffic? what did they do in past concerts?

I just don't understand this part:
No tickets are required for the event, entrance will be applied on a first come first serve basis the day of the event at Belmond Copacabana Palace Hotel.
Will the guests of the hotel have priority, or something? They can't expect 1 million people to go through the hotel? Or will the entrance to the beach be the hotel's beach bar or something? Can't figure out what the hotel's role will be?
Even if they don't have tickets they might have measures to allocate a certain number of people? For security and control. So you might need a bracelet or something, or just use the hotel entrance as security gates.

The Girlie Show got lots of inspiration in the choreo and costumes from musicals:
Vogue was based on the "Small House of Uncle Thomas" from The King and I
I'm going Bananas/isla Bonita part was an homage to Genes Kelly's 'Anchors Aweigh'
BBB/Like a Virgin she wears Marlene Dietrich costume from Morocco and makes a version and take of Falling in Love again from the Blue Angel.
And Justify my love is taken from My Fairs Lady Ascot scene but also borrows choreo from Sweet charity's club scene.

After Fincher did Vogue without giving credit to Horst, you think Mondino will be more respectful about using Guy Bourdin's work without permission or mention.
I think he said later than it was an homage and blah blah but it was a bit messy to do without attributing.
Let's talk about Hard Candy!
