I love Gloria Gaynor to all my heart but M should have done the original version.

Actually nor IWS nor EY. I want THIS in their place, without a second less:

@McDonnais a witness to my words.

In the acoustic form that particular spot has, "I Will Survive".

It's cute, but "Express Yourself" deserves all the fireworks and a big show, not an acoustic rendition. Plus she already sang a little acapella of it on the "Madame X Tour", so it's really more of the same. But it's lovely, of course.

I agree here.  Express Yourself needs to have more production. It's cute performed this way, but it's not really a song that is suiting to be acoustic. 

I Will Survive was pretty perfect where it was and it fit what she was trying to convey with the show.  She sounded great singing it too.

i want to have both songs in the tour...... we dont need to pick one song or the other.... they both deserve to be there at that tour...

the fact that this is a GH tour is even more important....

Madonna live every single day every single second of her life following her song.... express yourself.... and she do it in an amazing way.....

but not only i will surive is a song by another Queen, Gloria Gaynor, but again is an expression of her life.... all the battles she fight to be there..... the death of her mother.... the rape in nyc, the messy wedding with sean, all the storm and shit they throw against her during the sex era..... ecc ecc

i will survive is a piece of her life.....

she is a survivour

the song need 

NEED

to be there.....

Well then she should've written a hit with that same message instead of having to sing someone else's.

She sounded great on ey to.. 

I like that acoustic version 

[lap 1,566]

I will survive acoustic version had a meaning last year, it was nice (not great as the original arrangement), but this is her greatest hits tour. 

Express Yourself is one of her strongest song, a very big and missed hit in the setlist and even it deserved a better production, the acoustic version is cute and she sounded very good.

I hope she replaces it over I will survive.

this song is perfect! she cover it in an amazing way.....

I loved I Will Survive at my shows but let’s be honest, this is a Madonna greatest hits tour and Express Yourself belongs on the setlist. It’s the perfect change and I hope she sticks with it.

[adirondak 2,018]

I didn’t see I Will Survive but Express Yourself was one of my favorite moments of the show. You could feel the audience come together. Everyone sang and put the lights on their phones up. It was a powerful moment stripped of all the production that just worked in my opinion.

I mean... If you want to get technical... she basically did write a hit song with the same message as I Will Survive and even put a nod to it lyrically in the song. 

 

You'll See

"I know I'll survive, I know I'll stay alive"

 

She could totally sing this song instead of Gloria's song and keep the same meaning. 

I Will Survive is kinda flat in the show anyway.

I will survive !

[MDNA22 1,273]

I Will Survive 

Would say Express Yourself if she performed  the original album version though

I think an abridged version of her song "Survival" would work well in that same spot as well.

Express Yourself

[Redha DBL 7,849]

Express Yourself all the way ! 

[RUADJAI 15,946]

Just out of curiosity, who’s playing the guitar with her during Express Yourself? Is it David?

Love to see we have a connection!!!

/end thread sorry @True Blue 84 but Express Yourself NEEDS TO STAY!! (Given she doesn't even remember the existence of "You'll See" - and "Survival", a much welcome option too, thanks @McDonnafor bring it to the table!)

[scallywally 1,123]

Why not do all 3 and create a new section! fuck everyone off?  Every minute being with M is a treasure and if people dont like it they can go to get a hot dog. 

I agree express yourself needs its own 'spot' but anything's better than nothing. Look how special T.Blue was. This could be her surprise True Blue moment for fans intimate ect. No point in complaining we got it. People wanted a change we got it. What more do people expect???? Donna & Nicki to pop up from the floor like the leftover destiny's child job search women?  (OK that would be good but aint happening). 

Plus people ruin it by watching spoilers, its 'supposed' to be a fresh new experience. Everyone's too excited and can ruin it for themselves before they go. That's our problem, not hers. She's trying her best you can tell!!! I'm still shocked the tour is still real.

I wouldn't assume that.  She doesn't always sing the bit of Causing a Commotion she sometimes does, and ILNY was only performed a couple times, but didn't replace anything. It might stay, but I think it's a temporary switch up.

[MDNA22 1,273]

Full version of You'll See like from DWT as others have said would be perfect - I wouldn't care if it was mimed. It has the same messages as I Will Survive and such a great song and a forgotten one
