I don't even consider that a Madonna song. Worst crap she's ever done.

I don't care for any of her duets to be honest, some exceptions here and ther (I'm one the three fans that actually love Love Song and I adore GBA, but that's about it) but for some reason this one really is an earworm, I find myself humming it all of the time while I never ever play it

Never feel the need to listen to it, it's pretty weak in my opinion. And it's such a shame that the Collab between MADONNA and BRITNEY ended up being THAT. It's nice, just... Meh next 

They were doing a lot of boxing moves during rehearsals and she was wearing that robe…

i wonder what this look was about?

 

Yes she did post a few months ago clips of David, mercy and the twins rehearsing with her so I figured they’d all be in the show in some capacity.

 

I love when this argument comes up.
FYI, I study biology and my boyfriend is a post-doc in the field of virology specializing on zoonotic diseases like SARS and MERS.
What people fail to understand is, that an mRNA vaccine was never meant to prevent an infection completely. The early versions of this vaccine are supposed to reduce the chance of fatality, symptoms and lung damage as a result of an infection.
A virus has a very fast mutation and evolution rate. Therefore, later variants like Omicron adapted more to humans (and were able to bypass the vaccine). That is, because it had significant structure mutations that made the vaccine more or less ineffective. However, viruses tend to have milder symptoms as they mutate. Why?
It’s mainly because the less fatal a virus is, the higher is the chance that the host is able to transmit it. For omicron it was less fatal because it didn’t clog the lungs as much. Instead it stayed further up in the airways and the troat and could therefore be transmitted easier through mild coughs. Because of that it was highly infectious and ended up becoming the predominant yet less fatal cariant of Covid.
That's basic biology and common sense. If it’s too much for people to understand, they should consider going back to school!

Not the antivaxxers jumping out of the woodwork 

This isn't the forum for these debates.  Just for the record, the original vaccine was highly effective against the original strain. The issue was it mutated so fast and continues to mutate so fast, much faster than the common cold or flu that unfortunately no updated vaccine will ever be effective at preventing you getting it. 

Wtf. Not a single one of them said that. Any scientist knew that COVID would become like the flu. The purpose of the vaccine (which was a revolutionary vaccine using RNA for the first time) was to lessen the effects on you

Polio is basically eradicated so it doesn't constantly mutate. Flu and COVID will never be eradicated and will constantly evolve which means boosters will always be needed.  That's the reason we don't take polio boosters. 

Either would be pretty crazy — but LIKE A VIRGIN from BLONDE AMBITION remains one of her greatest LIVE performances EVER.  Everything about that performance was so crazy revolutionary at the time, and I simply adore the Far East Arrangement.
Plus — that gold cone bra corset thingy…

Madonna's first ever greatest hits tour will be "a documentary through her vast career" that includes more than 40 songs, her musical director says.
In an exclusive interview, Stuart Price told the BBC the show draws on four decades of archive footage and studio recordings to tell the star's story.
"A greatest hit doesn't have to be a song," he said. "It can be a wardrobe, it can be a video, or a statement." 
He added that Madonna was back to full strength after a summer health scare.
The superstar was found unconscious in her New York apartment in June and rushed to hospital, where she received treatment for a serious bacterial infection.
Lucky to be alive
The singer later said she was "lucky to be alive", and postponed the start of the sold-out Celebration Tour from July to October.
The premiere will now take place at London's O2 Arena on Saturday.
"The person that is going to take the stage looks incredible, sounds incredible, performs incredible," said Price, reassuring fans that the 65-year-old had fully recovered.
He added that the three-month delay had been used to polish the show.
"Madonna has very high expectations of how much hard work people will put into something," he said. "It's very uncompromising - but she's equally as hard on herself.
"So when she took a break, that pause created an opportunity to further enhance the show. And I'm sure the opportunity [for her] to focus on being 100% well was greatly received as well."
Since she burst onto the UK charts with Holiday in 1984, Madonna has scored another 71 hits, including 13 number one singles.
Some, like Vogue, Like A Prayer and Ray of Light, are era-defining anthems. Others, like Live To Tell and Don't Tell Me, are beloved fan favourites. So how did they finalise the set-list?
"That was the big challenge," admitted Price. "In two hours, can you get all of it in? That's hard. But every great moment she's had, we took a bit of it."
Many hits will be played in full, some will be interpolated into other songs, and still more will be used as "bridges" between acts. 
Price suggested a ballpark figure of 25 songs would be performed, with elements of 20 more appearing in some form.
And what about a Taylor Swift-style acoustic section, where different tracks can be rotated into the playlist every night?
"Well, Madonna's reputation is for being highly precise and highly rehearsed across all departments. When you look at a tour of this scale, it has so many moving parts, so many elements, that everything has to be highly fixed. 
"But there's one thing that's always dynamic, and that's Madonna herself. Her personality is so strong, her interaction with the audience is so strong, that it creates opportunities for variation from night to night."

A guitarist no longer with us? Prince? Is she gonna turn it up heavy for Like A Prayer? I’ve been longing for her to do the album version of that song. 
 
It’s been a lot of fun speculating these last couple of days, and it’s hard to believe we will know everything is just over 48 hours! So jealous of those of you seeing it in London! Can’t wait to hear everything! As for the lack of a live band, I don’t think Stuart would reveal this without it having a significance in terms of the type of show we are getting! It sounds like pure theater…like a Broadway show hitting arenas around the world. I think that while it sounds a little jarring to hear about original stems being used for the soundtrack when we can’t imagine the scope of it all, this is going to be another truly revolutionary innovation of stagecraft and performance. I also think David and Mercy are accompanying her musically in the show.

What are you talking about ? this has nothing to do about liking or not the info, i'm just questionning the existence of these info because i just cannot see them ! can you provide me a link to those super precise hints he gave us before anyone else ?? The thing is i cannot see any of them ! Itsn always vague info that can be said by anyone (expect the unexpected, the lightennings will be great, Music is maybe not there but maybe yes it's there...). For example, no one ever said something about a live band being part of the show or not, now Stuart Price has just said there's no live band but some live musicians will be part of the show at some moments, and just after that DazedMadonna posts about live musicians being there but not totally there ! I just want to see the precise info he has posted and of course before anyone else on the net.
