I don't know if the song has been added again during this week in Manchester, but I highly doubt it. Sigh…thank you…that’s depressing. Assuming the other songs were also uptempo.

Justice 326 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 If Music was removed because she wasn't able to do the choreography, then it makes sense that most of energetic dance songs were removed.

It was her biggest hit of the 00s...you'd think for an artist so obsessed with staying relevant that she'd be doing her big more recent hits. The only proper representation of the 00s is Don't Tell Me, a massacred version of Hung Up, Die Another Day, and Sorry? C'mon.... Where's Music? 4 Minutes? The ORIGINAL Hung Up? Give It 2 Me?

DanM 229 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Oh wow, it’s quite hard to stay optimistic. I don’t care about Music at all but I fear now she cut some of my faves. Sometimes it’s better not knowing what she rehearsed and what was the possibility 😂 also why cut the songs and not just change up the choreo for her… zephyr in the sky at night, Anapausis and eXtremeOccident 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scion 3,128 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Perfectly happy to be without music. The last time a performance of it was exciting was 2006. Like a Prayer I'd enjoy if it's acoustic. Vogue - well, I've never been a big fan but I get that it needs to be there. Hoping for La Isla. Alongside Borderline it's easily her most played song on Smooth, the radio station I imagine most of the audience will listen to the most.

Probably Vogue, Holiday and light dance songs will be exceptions. I take issue with that, honestly. That's not a good enough reason to remove her most iconic songs. She's had months to make fixes to this show after everything that happened. They could have toned her choreography down or removed it altogether while letting the dancers do the work. The audience would understand. This is MADONNA we're talking about. She's not known as a slow songs and ballads artist. She's a dance pop artist, first and foremost. Like, her greatest hits album last year was a collection of 50 DANCE SONGS. I'm gonna come out and say it -- A lot of fans, myself included, have paid a LOT of money for the shows this time around. We've sat through years of the artistically indulgent shows. We've dealt with the last minute cancellations and shortened shows. We've sat in the arena with her coming on 3 hours late. We've done all of this and applauded her and waited patiently for years...decades...for her to finally do a greatest hits tour. And that is absolutely 100% what this was sold as. "I dare you to do a world tour and play your greatest motherfucking hits" "4 decades? As in all of those years and all those songs?" Remember? And in the YouTube description: "the first to celebrate four decades of music and her greatest hits!" This is a *massive* bait and switch if she ends up leaving songs like Material Girl, Lucky Star, Express Yourself, 4 Minutes, Like a Prayer, original Hung Up, Music, and La Isla Bonita off of the setlist. I get that she can't please everyone -- She has a massive amount of songs, and of course some of the more hidden gems on the setlist are exciting (Bad Girl, Oh Father, Erotica)...but give me a break, there are 15+ songs that are absolute expectations, no question, in a Madonna greatest hits tour. Her illness was extremely unfortunate, but to scrap the big hits due to it means we aren't really getting what we were sold, and I guarantee there are going to be a lot of pissed off people if she leaves the majority of the biggest ones off of the list.

Messiah 98 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I don’t think she scrapped Music because of her illness or for not being able to do the choreo. The Rebel Heart Tour version was pretty safe on the dancing side, so I doubt they couldn’t adjust it to something easy but fun this time around. It probably didn’t fit the “narrative” and felt basic… who knows?! But I’m also kind of surprised that such a massive song would be scrapped from a tour that celebrates her career.

Jackie 8,127 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Let's not jump to conclusions re removing things because of her illness. After having a few months away from it - probably decided on a different path, with different songs. kesiak, Anapausis and VogueMusic 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valdu25 69 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) Honestly, no matter what the next revealed songs are, I'm already super excited by what we have so far. Could you imagine, two months ago, that we are about to see Madonna singing Bad Girl, Nothing Really Matters, Rain or even Justify My Love in the same show ? And for now, some hits are already in there : Ray of Light, Papa Don't Preach, Open Your Heart, Don't Tell Me... I'm pretty sure these songs are going to be amazing on stage. After almost 15 years we deserve to hear Ray of Light in its pop glory ! Can't wait ! :D EDIT : And I have faith in Stuart Price to remix Hung Up on Tokischa in a way we will like !

The songs teased by Madonna and her team are : Nothing Really Matters, Bedtime Story, Crazy For You, Like a Virgin/Billie Jean, Bitch I'm Madonna. Someone mentioned Don't Tell Me and Everybody being teased on Instagram, but I don't know about that. Madonna teased these songs and asked fans what they want her to play after the tour was announced: Rescue Me, Like a Prayer, Physical Attraction, Papa Don’t Preach, Bad Girl, Human Nature, Crazy For You, Lucky Star and Erotica.
