But that's Madonna. She'd rather reinvent the title 1,000 times over than rehash the 2005 version over and over again. It's not as if she hasn't always done it this way. 

Over and over again, huh? It was only performed ONCE in its original form,  17 friggin years ago!

During the promo and the whole tour. Maybe it's enough for her

Personally, I wouldn't mind hearing neither Material Girl nor like a virgin 

I'd love them both in a singalong Medley with a few of those other type of songs.

Borderline / Material Girl / Like A Virgin / True Blue / Cherish .

Someone with a guitar. David or Mercy on Piano

Basically a tick box exercise so plough through the hits for the locals. Where the crowd does a lot of the work. 

True Blue Rebel Heart was a revelation so I can see more of that happening this time.

My dream would be a rock medley with dress you up, gambler and burning up

If she doesn’t sing HU extended SDP remix with a purple leotard, golden balloons falling from the ceiling, and a sing a long contest among the front, the back, the left and the right of the arena, I want my money back!!! 

All the people in the back: time goes by so SloWly🎵 

Oh and dry humps a boombox too!!!

There's a lot I can forgive her for, but not singing Hung Up in its original form since 2006 would be an absolute blasphemy. She simply NEEDS to do the album version!

Maybe she will, who knows 

[eXtremeOccident 2,509]

If she truly does the Tokischa version, that’s just bullshit. I’m sorry. But Hung Up is one of like 3 songs that should be a given in their original form on a Madonna greatest hits tour (along with Vogue and Like a Prayer). It’s one of the songs I’m most looking forward to and to say I’ll be majorly disappointed by that remix would be the understatement of the year.

[Messiah 98]

I wouldn't mind if she mixes the Tokischa version with the original one, but sticking only to the remix would be quite sad... and I actually really like the remix.

However, in my "ideal world" there would be room only for the 2005 album version. 

[MattyMads 5,617]

I think Hung up on T would sound amazing in an arena with that Bass, hopefully she can incorporate the original and the 2022 mix together, don't forget we got Stuart back and I trust his reworkings.

This song is about a girl who claimed Jackson was the father of her child. Jackson based it on a woman who used to stalk him, writing him letters about a son she thought was his

While Jackson didn't give many details about the real Billie Jean, his producer Quincy Jones said that Jackson found the woman one day lounging by his pool with a bathing suit and sunglasses on. According to Jones, she accused Jackson of being the father of one of her twins, which Jones thought was pretty funny.

 

I always thought "Billie Jean" was about his brothers' experiences. I remember him saying that in an interview, and it's also what's on the song's Wikipedia page. 

[Sheridan1980 1,192]

A mix between both versions would indeed be a great idea, especially with Stuart

Oh she's definitely doing "Hung Up On T". And "Frozen on Fire", "Material GWORL", "Back That Up To The Beat", "Popular" and "Vulgar". You know she likes to do the recent stuff. And "La Isla Bonita".

Pretty sure the stalker came after the song was already made. 

[scallywally 1,122]

Maybe!! I watched a podcast on youtube with one of his old bodyguards she was a complete nightmare. She changed her name the lot.

I don't think she will sing frozen on fire, ther's not enough lyrics to sing

This, what would she sing? 

[steady75 9,881]

Maybe this Greatest Hits tour was a plan for a long time and she purposely ran with the Sickik reinventions of Frozen and the other tracks so she could pull a fast one on us.

Yes, it would be great to have it live for the first time out of Argentina 

She performed it on the first night in Miami during the Rebel Heart Tour too.
