    Why Wasn't "Heaven" and "Queen" on The Final?!!! I'm beyond Baffled!!!

    What's the deal with "Queen"? I remember someone on here saying it wasn't actually recorded during the RH sessions? I find that hard to believe, since it doesn't sound like it fits with any other era, but sonically and lyrically it's right in line with what she did with RH. But it's also not listed on the Wikipedia page of Madonna's unreleased songs. All of the other demos are included in the list of leaks.

    Any clue?

    It was meant to be on Rebel Heart. Her website listed it as part of the super deluxe track listing for like 3 months until it was finally updated in June

    Has there ever been a song you’ve wanted to shoot a music video for but haven’t?

    You know it’s weird, because I started loving Madonna when I was a kid. That’s where it all started. On a weird level, a lot of these videos are like my version of Madonna videos.

    That’s awesome!
    Where it came from was specifically Madonna’s David Fincher era where they were doing ‘Express Yourself’ and ‘Oh Father’ and ‘Vogue.’ Especially when I heard her ‘Ray Of Light’ album, and I didn’t get to do any of those songs, like almost every one of those songs I had a vision in my head for. It’s still one of my favorite albums of all time. Whenever I hear any song from there, like ‘Music,’ I’ll see some alternate video in my head. I think it’s only because I wanted to pitch on those songs so bad back then and I never got the chance to, so I have all these remnants of video ideas that never got to be made with Madonna.

    What about contributing something for Rebel Heart?
    Actually I did write on it, but I think I wrote something incredibly… bad.

    What do you mean?
    I don’t know… maybe I offended her.

    It’s possible to offend Madonna?
    Writing the song… oh God I can’t even explain it. I might even use this concept… Again, if I talk about concepts that I haven’t done, I could possibly use it for other things and also other directors could hear it and then they would extract it and make their own video concepts from it, and this is a really good idea. I’ll tell you in a nutshell: Old Madonna and a young Madonna. And the young Madonna, I wanted Chloë Moretz to play her and I had this story between Madonna now and Madonna as a 17-year-old for ‘Devil Pray.’ It was a really complex story that had all this interweaving. I don’t think you ever go to an artist and say ‘hey, here’s you… and here’s a younger version of you.’ It’s just not a good fucking thing to do.

    Are you implying they could be old?
    That could be the message. That wasn’t the intent. It was just dumb.

    Oh where to begin. I drove up from Kansas City with my mom, and we arrived around 4pm. We stayed at the Holiday Inn right across the street from the Xcel center, and when we made it into the lobby to check in, we saw that the hotel was bursting with Madonna fans! We could also hear people playing her music in various rooms on the floor where our room was, so that was pretty fun. Lots of pre-concert partying!

    Anyway, the show. First of all, I had MUCH better seats than the ones I had in Brooklyn (which were practically on the roof), so that made for a much different (better!) concert experience. We were just two rows up from the floor, to the right of the heart. We had a great view.

    Opening video was amazing, even with the slight, temporary screen black-out glitch. I feel like I can watch it again and again and again and still see something new every time.

    The biggest highlight for me was "Fever." A completely unexpected, beautiful surprise.

    So sorry to hear she wasn't feeling well, but damn that woman is a trooper. Her energy level was maybe a little toned down, but she pressed on like the ultimate professional she is.

    Lots of audience banter this time, too! Much more than in Brooklyn, I think. I LOVED that she acknowledged all of her fans that dress up like her for the shows, saying how creative we all are. :D

    My mom loved the show, too. She loved M's performance, especially her ukulele songs. lol And she could not stop talking about "the guys on the poles, oh my god!" hahahahhaha

    Yes, I'd have to agree that the "Illuminati" interlude is freaking incredible, and it practically makes your heart stop.

    I wish I could remember more! I could barely sleep after the show was over. I maybe got 4 hours of broken sleep, and then had to drive 6.5 hours home. That was brutal. I'm still exhausted.

    Also, I was really worried about my section wanting to sit the whole time, but they didn't! I stood the entire time and danced like it was my job. hahahhahahaha

    I kept bumping into the poor lady next to me, though, oops. I apologized after the show.

    And now I'm in a terrible post-concert depression, which is just silly because I have one more show in January (Tulsa).

    OH! I didn't notice it in BK because our seats were so far away, but there were a LOT of people crowded around the front of the heart. Didn't seem like security cared much at all. hm.

    Finally, here's me in my BIM outfit. Don't laugh.
