It appeared to me as if the problem during the performance on Eurovision had more to do with the sound engineering than vocal skills. The amateur videos from the venue itself sound much better.

This is a reconstruction of the demo version of Into the Groove played during the end credits of Desperately Seeking Susan, created from the multitrack. I spent a lot of time making it match as closely as possible to create an HQ version of the demo. It uses the original bass and drum sounds and none of the instruments which were changed or added to the released mix or the Shep Pettibone mix.
4/8/22 UPDATE: This is a newly revised 2022 version which is closer to the sound of the demo version. This is my 3rd version and I think the final and best.  
I hope you like it. Enjoy!

You forgot a love song/candy shop mash up, candy shop has been her most successful song of her entire career 

Would have loved the Virgin Tour as her Farewell!!
 
Honestly, ...  I'm also totally over this kind of pseudo-melancholic nostalgia to the seemingly long-passed time in which "Madonna was truly MADONNA.". The exact same thing has obviously been repeated tiresomely, over and over again, ever since Madonna first changed her previously distinctive look of messy hair and colourful ‘street’ clothing and jewellery in a more mature look as Mrs Penn known for the iconic short, platinum hairstyle. Poor Maripol was left with a full warehouse of rubber crucifix earrings that were suddenly no longer selling and was bankrupted in 1987.
The paradox is that Madonna simultaneously both always been as well as has never been "truly Madonna". Who is the true Madonna? A punk-influenced cheeky 80's pop star? A modernized version of Marilyn Monroe? An controversial activist for the feminist and queer progressive movements? A profound spirituality seeker? A fitness enthusiast and gym owner? A screenplay writer and movie director? A devoted mother? A posh estate-owner in the English country-side? A children's book author? A skincare ambassador?
I hate to burst your bubble but the incarnation of Madonna during Confessions and this part of her life was just probably the way you had "discovered" her and it was what first attracted you to her, as it was uncovering before your eyes. You could just as well argue that the faux-English accent on the Confession Tour was no more "truly Madonna" than her grillz and Instagram selfies are nowadays. No one that has grown up with Erotica and Truth or Dare would not have been predict even remotely what the actual subject and content of a book called The English Roses would turn out to.be.

IT'S ALL TRULY MADONNA TO ME
ISN'T THAT REALLY THE BEAUTY OF IT ALL?

Wow! All these messages are worded so ... negative. Nothing seems quite right for the fans . That's why I hardly ever comment here, I guess. Just a small suggestion for everyone: try to channel your excitement into something positive. Accept the gifts you have been given. Enjoy the creative works of this extraordinary human being! Being critical of all those details seems so petty.

I hate those expectations by some audiences that artists always have to play their most known hits. I have seen countless reviews, even by professional music journalists that complain that Madonna did not sing every classic.
If you really want to hear hits, you should probably just listen to a greatest hits album, or better, buy a jukebox. I can imagine that artists that do stick to this principle must really be tired of playing the same song over and over again.

In a surprising turn of events, Madonna has now cast herself as a young Lady Gaga actually. Madonna hopes that her portrayal will do justice to the heart-ship, pain and emotional struggles that Gaga has suffered through the many, many, many years of constantly being compared to a much more experienced and better-looking competitor. 

Lady Gaga will however still provide the vocals for the theme song:

No.
As for this 'hating of her old songs' thing, I think fans take it all way too literally. First, she's not the only artist to feel that way about old songs. And two, she moved beyond that period where she really wasn't interested (around ROL). If she truly hated it all, she wouldn't do old songs in her tours, and they would probably be very different shows. She would have never done anything like Tears of a Clown. Or even Re-Invention. Clearly, she likes some songs better than others. And she's said multiple times that certain songs are just of a certain time that she feels silly just pulling them out without doing something to make them reflective and who/where she is today. I respect that, and it's given us some of her best live tour moments (that very few of her peers/followers even bother to attempt...or could).
As for remasters, box sets, anniversary re-issues, etc...yeah, we'd all love it. But clearly she's not interested in milking that part of her career...yet. She probably feels that stuff can be done later, and I don't blame her (though I'd love it now just as much as any fan). Personally, I think it would make sense to start doing those things into her mid-to-later 70s, probably once large-scale touring finally stops, and she moves on to other creative endeavors/life/etc. As for now, she's a contemporary artist working 'in the now' (as she always has), and she sees herself that way. I don't see that changing for at least a good ten more years or so.
That being said, around the time of the biopic release, it may be a good time to do a 'legacy' era of some sort.

There will never be a Farewell Tour.

P.S. Don't you mean "no songs younger than the Music album" ?

Since Y'ALL MISSED MY POST I have to share it here because I am obsessed with it.  And I want you all to be too.  I envisioned the final ITG rehearsal from RIT to have the pre-recorded vocals she did for "now I know you're mine", and I have created it using the live guest rehearsal version that was showcased on news stations pre-RIT, and am super happy with the results. Sharing it here because I love it so. Sorry leakers. Had to.
***RE-UP BELOW***
 

and it's a rework of Warning signs

I'm 100% sure if she was here she would be banned in a second lmao

I'm quite sure her team is checking forums but I doubt it changes something. Maybe the choice of one or two songs in the setlist for world tours...

Just seperated the lines with Demucs to make it louder in Vocals. 
Maybe someone likes it.

Yes, there is really nothing that could really begin to describe how pop culture has been shaped around her. I can understand that she feels a bit tired now, because she has lived in a way that would require two lives for most people
