The Celebration Tour (Spoilers)

[RebelMe 3,191]

Stuart Price do wonders mixing M songs. I think  his new tour version of Into the Groove became my favorite mix of the song. The synths are amaaaaaazing

I don't think she will. In the tours where she made changes (RHT), she started making them after at least 5-6 stops. Maybe she needs to get a bit bored before deciding to change

Do you know what the original places in the setlist for Oh Father and Sorry were?

Honestly, Open Your Heart should come after Vogue instead of Human Nature and Crazy For You after that. It makes more sense to have the "peep show" song in that segment.

Burning Up would have been more exciting if it was a medley with Lucky Star or Material Girl.

I was never too big on the song and this version really didn’t help. It sounded extremely flat but maybe I haven’t heard a good audio so far.

I still cannot believe she finally performed Nothing Really Matters and Everybody on tour after all these years of me begging for these. And now they are opening the tour back to back. 😂 That alone keeps me from complaining about other aspects of the show.

Still, I think this show really could have benefited from more shortened versions and medleys. Just to keep everyone somewhat satisfied.

Great videos 😍

Not to beat a dead horse, but seeing this video of Open Your Heart still makes me paranoid about those screens 😶

I’ll be sitting in the second row of the lower bowl in between the middle and end stage, but it still seems like the view could be blocked for certain parts of the show when the screens are all the way down. It’s such a bizarre choice

[MattyMads 5,516]

Random thought what would happen say Bob became ill and couldn’t perform? I wonder if they have contingency plans as he big part of show isn’t he, his dialogues either weren’t pre recorded

the Huff Post made a compilation of the opening night reviews' highlights

https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/madonna-celebration-tour-reviews_uk_652d0579e4b03b213b068980

So basically almost every review criticized the flow and narrative of the show. And I think down the line this is what will stand out negatively about this tour: people may like and dislike the performances, outfits and setlist, but the awkward continuity of the concert will be its indisputable issue.

Tbh it's better than having the reviews focus on a lack of dancing, heavy autotune and embarrassing jokes like we had on previous tours. At least she's being celebrated and I guess that's what the show is about.

Was she wearing butt pads in B* I'm Madonna?

MadonnaTribe reporting rehearsals taking place at the O2 today, so hoping some of the opening show kinks (e.g., continuity mentioned above) are actively being addressed!

Hope they are rehearsing getting M on stage by 8.30 🤣🤣 (Sorry I'm evil!🤣)

[Markdonna 692]

This is all I hope to ever have to say on this endless Butt debate.  

I strongly believe she probably often wears butt padding as she is sometimes dragged across the stage floor.  This happens to great effect — for example — in Justify My Love.

For the most part, Yohannes and Melssen created and designed all of Madonna’s costumes themselves, though they also enlisted designers such as Donatella Versace, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Dilara Findikoglu to create special one-off looks for her, too. “We wanted to reference everything that she’s done, and make something new out of that,” says Melssen. “We created a whole new world.”

This artist named Justin Teodoro that I follow on insta just posted that he was the illustrator for the costume dept, and did the sketches above. He’s been a near-lifelong M fan so he’s super excited about having been involved.

He also did the Erotica anniversary lithographs.

I know her cataloge is huge and its almost impossible to perform all the hits / fan faves but i can't believe there's no Express Yourself in the Setlist. Also Frozen. My hope is that she will rotate.

I think a chorus of frozen would have worked well at the end of rain. When rain ends and it’s the drums crashing frozen would have been excellent kicking in with her exiting the stage then saying if I could melt your heart.

My only request would be to add music after bitch I'm Madonna 😋

But I really love the Show, the songs, the choreography and the narrative and she's amazing ❤️

I think that Frozen was so well made in the Madame X that I really don’t feel the miss. Too bad for EY, not even mentioned in an interlude.

I'm very excited about this tour. The overall concept, the music, the positivity and celebration.... 

The fashion tho... the fashion is very questionable IMHO. It looks like a Madonna/Halloween dress up party and Nancy just puts on some lingerie cuz that's soooo Madonna. Even the Gaultier corset and the beginning corset... it just seems Party City knock off.... not the real deal. 

Oh well rant over. 

[IGIVEUMORE 240]

saw some rumors that she might add Sorry, Hold Tight, BTUTTB, Oh Father and 4 Minutes??

I wondered this after I heard an interview recently where he said he loses his voice very easily... 

And I was on the fence at first but think he fits in just fine. 

Who are we kidding? Estere is probably waiting backstage with a handful of pearls for him to walk by and fully take over that segment.

[V*C 1,036]

I think there is some room for "evolution".

Remember when she started to tease GI2M during Celebration @ MDNA? It eventually turned into a longer section, or a bigger mashup. I think this could happen with Music as well. 

[Brendanlovesu1 12,010]

 

so is there a DJ before bob comes out and does comedy. Or is bob only playing am emcee / hype man role?
