yes, i wished the setlist sequence was more cohesive, it feels rushed and all over the place.

I completely understand that Madonna's physical shape has gotten worse over the years, and I'm not criticizing her for that. Her physique still looks impressive, better than how it looked in Madame X... and I respect that she might be stiff now and can't dance properly. My critique is more about the creative choices made for this tour. Some of the choreography seemed subpar at times, and it wasn't just about the level of difficulty.
Additionally, the musical preparation seemed somewhat lacking. There were moments like Burning Up that didn't come across well, even with technical issues aside. Playing the guitar without a live band made the performance feel somewhat artificial. And she was put of time too...
On a different note, my friend did mention that Madonna had rehearsed Ghosttown, so there's a chance she might include it in some shows. However, without a live band, surprising song choices might be less likely. Regardless, I hope the tour evolves positively in the upcoming stops

Agree. There were some really strange, jarring moments- for me the most bizarre was when it suddenly went from Human Nature to Crazy For You. But overall I think the selection was good. Just maybe rearrange a little.
I just really hope Rain, Bedtime Story and especially Bad Girl are permanent and don’t get rotated w/other songs.
It’s be cute if she inserted Frozen after Rain maybe. That was the one omission I felt the most. More than Material Girl or Express Yourself.

I think what's missing too is a musical segway from one song to the next. The MDNA tour did this well where the instrumentation leads into the next song. Many times with this tour it just stops and the next song starts after costume adjustments

Does anyone else think that her costumes for this were terrible? Totally below her standards and forgettable. Who was responsible for them? Wasn’t Gaultier contributing?

There are some amazing moments but I yet to see the show in person to decide how i feel about it. On the other hand I feel like the autobio and time travel rumors were way exaggerated.

This is very true and totally understand and all for it - just felt like a little random at times - I hope they review and re edit the order to create a better flow. Each song though was AMAZING! LIVING FOR IT!

We know she cut a bit chunk after getting sick, so maybe the added more interlude filling and remove some of her activity in stage

Yes I agree, it felt really random and didn't flow in parts - the random addition of other songs didn't help either - I wasn't sure of what story she was telling - just felt like a random bunch of songs thrown together.
I loved it though - but feel some of the songs and the order could change to create a more cohesive show.

What is the opening? I feel like the streams started 30min in to the show. I don't think Nothing Really Matters opens the show right?
Yeah it's a bit of a glorious mess. The snippets kinda killed the vibe as I feel like the crowd didn't want to get too invested in case a song was going to get cut short. When ROL was on the crowd didn't seem that hyped and I loved that number.
I did expect Express Yourself. The 7" version would have been hot af

Yeah, that ending was super abrupt and no encore.. I wonder if she is going to have to change that. 

A great experience, a little messy at parts with the transitions - but overall not bad!

Nope A short version of Celebration and that was it. 
Not sure what I think about this whole show.  I mean she managed to hit a lot of sweet spots, but it just seemed the whole thing was all over the place.  The finale was very lack luster with Celebration. It was so short and then she just left.
Then again, maybe she had to cut that short being she did run over with technical difficulties.  But I doubt it.

Great version of I will survive, what an expressive and beautiful voice

Not to mention, she's 65, almost died 4 months ago - clearly still has a bad knee - this is incredible that she's alive, that's she's on tour and that she's serving it!

But, love it! Each song is great! 

Pretty underwhelming and messy so far. M's choreo is on a Mariah-level - she walks or gets lead to a spot, move her arms or play guitar, and walk to the next position.

so far loving it! I agree a little dis jointed in some parts - which breaks the flow - but otherwise LOVE IT!

I'm liking the show, a bit flat in spots but might have been the tech issues that did that. The audience however is not bringing it which is disappointing

i wasnt expecting that at all. just not this either. hard to explain. just not the usual madonna..prob due to the health issues so im not holding that agenst her.

SHE'S PLAYING TH DEMO OF BURNING UP...I CAN DIE RIGHT NOW

Don't know how true is this, a mashup with I Love New York, Give Me All Your Luvin', Material Girl y Burning up.
You think the audios is fake or true? https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=316755257711220
 
EDIT: Found on Twitter the 3 part of the mashup in this acc: https://twitter.com/elsietannercock/with_replies

Now here's a theme I'd love to see.

My ex was from NYC and after we broke up shacked up with a lawyer and moved to New Jersey. Big mistake.

Like some of us too eventually 😂
