from DrownedMadonna on FB

Only four days left until the highly anticipated opening night of Madonna’s Celebration Tour. time / clock, drum and fire emoji aree after this scentence

For today's countdown, we've decided to share a few more details with you, but as usual, without spoiling the surprise. We want to leave you in a bit of doubt, but, at the same time, ignite your curiosity and spark discussion. So get ready to be wowed and join us in the excitement of this unforgettable event! 

We've already told you that the show is mostly made up of tracks that have been released as singles, although it's not exactly a greatest hits tour. However the show will also include some - or better, just a sprinkle - tracks that weren't released as singles. One of these songs is from Madonna's "Rebel Heart" album that has never been performed before. While another is an oldie-but-goodie that deals with the heartbreaking topic of losing her mother.

Madonna is not only going to perform her iconic catalogue, but she's also going to switch it up by singing covers of songs from other artists. She's even going to bring back a classic that she performed many moons ago. We're pretty sure that when you hear one of these cover songs, you'll think it's in response to Madonna's health scare that put her in the ICU and caused her to delay the start of her tour. But nope, that's not the case. This 70s classic was already on the setlist before the sad event that shocked us all. Madonna will also create a mashup by combining one of her older songs with another late 70s track. Lastly, she will include a more current tune from an artist she has collaborated with in the recent past.

The Rebel Heart track: Wash All Over Me??

Mother: It's got to be Promise To Try surely?

I'm totally lost about all the 70s covers reference. Something she already performed and can be considered coherent with her recent heath problems ...

Fever would be the obvious one here but that's not 70s.

[Michael_Py 235]

She will perform I will Survive by Gloria Gaynor. 

[Brendanlovesu1 12,092]

ooooh I got all exicited and thought about Between the Bars like the Secret project performance in 2013 but that song was released in 1997

For the 70s classic that seems like it may have been about her health scare but was already on the setlist, I'm guessing I Will Survive.

Maybe it’s “Fever” ??? 

[MauricioMtz 232]

Hey! The “Classic she performed many moons ago…” I am pretty sure it’s Billy Jean 😳

Fever is not 70s. Peggy Lee. 1958.

That was my first guess too!

[The Ghost 1,609]

I wouldn't be surprised if she sang the Elton Track.   Your Song.

Those spoilers are divided in so many hints. Not just one.

 

- one song from Rebel Heat that was never performed before. Hold tight

-  one cover regarding her recent situation that  was already on the setlist: I will survive

- one cover song that she already performed years ago: I can’t help myself (?) fever?  billie jean? Girl form Ipanema? Imagine?

- one song regarding her mom’s death: promise to try i think. But she can always surprise us with Inside of me

- one cover song of a current artist she already collaborated with: sexyback? Blinding lights? Etc etc. so many options. 
- one song in a mashup with a late 70s classic: hung up x abba?  Other surprise?

[Leandro Gomes 276]

Never performed Rebel Heart song: Hold Tigh? Joan of Arc? Wash All Over Me? Veni Vidi Vici? Grafitti Heart (Please no)? All of them can fit in the narrative of her life... 

 

Oldie but goodie song about dealing with her mother's dead: Promise to try? Oh Father? Inside of Me? Mother and Father? 

[Debord 433]

We knew ages ago that Hold Tight was rehearsed so presumably that's the Rebel Heart song. I Will Survive makes sense as the 70s song you'd think refers to the health scare...so just a 70s song that she performed 'many moons ago' (that wording itself makes me think it's a clue?!)

I hope so it’s Billie Jean!!! Yeay, that didn’t came to my mind

[Leandro Gomes 276]

I can see current Madonna singing "Hold Tigh" to little girl Madonna dealing with her mom death or 90's Madonna facing the backlash against Erotica era, would be a lovely moment in the narrative! 

[Karma 2,819]

Song from "Rebel Heart" that has never been performed before: "Hold Tight".

Oldie-but-goodie that deals with the heartbreaking topic of losing her mother: "Promise To Try".

Classic that she performed many moons ago: "Like A Virgin" / "Bilie Jean".

70s classic: "I Will Survive".

Mashup of one of her hits with another late 70s track: "Hung Up" / "Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight)".

Current tune from an artist she has collaborated with in the recent past: "Unholy".

Just my guess.

Mer Girl 

[musicinferno 3,710]

She posted a video months ago singing the chorus to Unholy. We all thought she was probably just playing around but could that be the "artist she recently collaborated with?" 

[roberMDNA 722]

The song about her mother could be Mer Girl. Added to the fact that they didn't said that it was not performed before like in the other paragraph with the rebel heart song that they stated that it wasnt performed before

Stop. It's been done twice. Enough. The song sucks anyway. 

 

I'm voting for Inside of Me

Has she ever performed I Will Survive though?

oooh so is this confirming Hung up on Toshickia?

what song was about the death of her mother, Promise to try, oh father (the video referenced this with the sewn lips)

“From an artist she has collaborated with”

I understand this as a song that it's not from her. Maybe Popular.

I’m placing my bet on Unholy
