What kind of changes will we see for the European leg of Madame X?

[Voguerista 11,862]

If the show goes on, what kind of changes and/or additions or subtractions do you think or hope we'll see happen for the Madame X tour for the European leg? Currently, how do you feel and what do you predict?

I think we'll see the return of "Sodade" for one. I also don't think we'll see Madonna doing stairs. I hope not anyway.

I'd love to see Easy Ride and You Must Love

[Adrian 706]

Some of the themes like gun control, birth control etc are not the issues in countries she will perform in EU so I don't see the point of doing these that way as it was in US... I think she needs to remove some of these its pointless

[wtg1987 10,177]

I think human nature will be replaced with candy shop - we need that classic song back in the set list ?

I would love to see rescue me included but I don’t think she will make any significant song changes

[The Ghost 1,607]

I think the main thing is to reduce and pressure on the knee that's unnecessary..

Climbing ladders backstage should be scrapped..   I'd rather her just walk on than not at all..

 

 

[dylanlioncourt 5,783]

Maybe a new song or a few additions she rehearsed but didn't include on the first leg.

Less emphasis on stairs to help with her injury and more room to play around with the setlist etc.

[MarXus 92]

I think a few themes will be tone down, such as the whole Gun Control issue and addressing the U.S. issues.  Though, she could easily substitute some of that with more worldly issues.

I think the inclusion of Sodade would be awesome again, but I"m sure it will simply be added just for the night Dino D'Santiago.

The stairs... I'm not sure a lot will be changed, but you can bet she won't be climbing that ladder. 

I'm just curious is Lisbon will be filmed.  I suspect the fans attending will be on the look out for more cameras around than usual.  I suspect she would address it since her show is about reducing the use of cameras from the fans.

very true

[Guest Nobody Knows Me]

The main alteration should be to reduce the pressures put on her knee, of course.

Setlist wise, I would love it if she added Easy Ride, What It Feels Like For a Girl and a full performance of Rescue Me with the Batukadeiras.

I agree regarding the knee.

Oh, could you imagine Guy's reaction to "adding" more songs to the setlist?  Remember, it's too long? LOL! 

Personally, I like the setlist as is. Though, I rather Sodade be put back in.  From the audios I've listened to, that was one of her best pure and live vocals.

I doubt there will be any changes TBH. why would she change the songs like God Control? Yes they are political for the US but they are from the new album she is promoting.... Id rather she didn't change it as at least it may be a bit more polished by now!

 

[madgefan 10,152]

I could do with some costumes changes/variations. That would be nice.

I do agree she probably isn't going to change much, though God Control is a bit geared toward the U.S. political system. Yeah, I guess she could keep it, but I think she might tone it down some as it never looks good when a public figure who is a U.S. citizen, to start criticizing one's home country.  But to me, the topic of Guns still can be discussed as that is a world issue and U.S. still needs to "wake up" to what is happening.

I dont think people in Europe will see it as criticizing they will see it as activism. We have a long history of protesting in Europe so I dont see this being and issue whats so ever. I also think she of all people with tone it down lol!

European protesting is a lot more intelligent and well considered compared to North American activism and protests. That's the difference.

I wouldn't go that far. The riots in France recently, the Poll Tax Riots in the 80s in the UK and many many more exmples that contradict this. What I am saying is I don't think people in Europe will be annoyed shes talking about gun control. Its something that makes total sense.....

I still consider those riots and affrays a lot more sophisticated then North American protesting of holding up a placard, chanting something to seem woke, then heading off to Starbucks and being a total hypocrite which seems the case with most North American activists.

l could her adding and removing songs for the European leg personally id love to see her add songs like

• Holiday/Celebration Medley(Kool & The Gang Version)(Would work well before Crave)
• Ray Of Light(Would also work well before Crave) 
• Live To Tell(Would work well after Dark Ballet or Frozen)
• Easy Ride or X-Static Process(Would work well after American Life or replace it all together)
• You Must Love Me(Would work well in the fado section)

Oh, I was referring to the people in the U.S., may take great offense.  It's one thing to be in your own country protesting and criticizing what is going on, but outside, Americans seem to take more offense.

Anyway, that whole performance is very U.S. centered, so I would think it would have to be changed up a bit, to generalize the gun problems elsewhere.

Rescue Me and Easy Ride were the only ones I was literally praying to hear on this tour, but Ray of Light and Live to Tell could be good additions. Just please no guitar version of Ray of Light again

Yeah I'm kind of done with the whole rock & roll guitar Madonna I really want her full on raving to Ray Of Light

Ray of Light sampling The Prodigy’s “No Good [Start the Dance]” on a tour is my dream.

[Voguerista 11,862]

I'd really like to see her change up a few songs. If I could have one wish, it would be   "Beautiful Killer" to take the place of something. 

[Gonzalo 448]

I hope she won't be performing of a wheelchair. Now seriously I hope she'll deliver a PROPER version of Rescue Me

[Guest Ashley]

I was hoping she’d perform ‘Words’ from Erotica  it can be re-interpreted to be a really political song, and it just screams Madame X.
