I have unfortunately.

I don't know what to say. I thought I would die many many years from now and always have held Ray Of Light to be the best album in my life. And then this. It's the best thing I've ever heard. Start to end. No filler. Just full of perfection. She could have retired after ROL and still been the undisputed queen for eternity. The fact she is still coming out with this kind of masterpiece is just astounding.
Fuck yeah! I came. I saw. I conquered.

The tour isn't just in Australia. I don't see why one country gets to determine the setlist. And isn't the some time between when the tour ends in Europe to when she goes to Australia. She could possibly switch out one or two songs and replace them with bigger hits for Australia.
Shush. Yes it is. Australia all the way or GTFO.

I was talking to a friend who was considering tickets. Not a major fan but appreciates the classics. She was aware that the show wouldn't be a "greatest hits" tour. She was questioning the price so it's likely she skips it, but I think the general (aus) population are aware this isn't going to be Blonde Ambition 2016. (On a side note isnt it funny how people in '93 bitched about how she didnt sing the hits but are like I wish she sings erotica tracks this time. Whatever.

Napoleon, Rebel Heart is now my favourite album. Has it all to me. Beautiful ballads, great pop songs, seductive grooves, great dance songs and the songs on the Deluxe version blow me away as well. I love the variety of it all. Plus some of the most beautiful bridges Madonna has recorded. I always adore her wonderful bridges and there are so many on Rebel Heart. Considering how much I adore Madonna's past albums, this is some album indeed.
YES!!! Someone else who gets it!!! It kicks so much ass. Even after all this time I'm still not bored of it! If anything I'm loving the track even more!
Bless yourself and genuflect!!

Woah ease up tiger. GC? I don't think so. LOL

There's no room for her to do five shows in Melbourne or Sydney. She never performs three shows in a row, nor does she perform on Friday night, so this is all that's left:
Saturday 12th - Melbourne
Sunday 13th - Melbourne
Monday 14th - No show
Tuesday 15th - Melbourne (possibly)
Wednesday 16th - Melbourne (possibly)
Thursday 17th - No show (she might do Wednesday/Thursday rather than Tuesday/Wednesday, or even Tuesday/Thursday)
Friday 18th - No show
Saturday 19th - Sydney
Sunday 20th - Sydney
Monday 21st - No show
Tuesday 22nd - Sydney (possibly)
Wednesday 23rd - Sydney(possibly)
Thursday 24th - No show (see above for possible Sydney variations)
Friday 25th - No show
Saturday 26th - Brisbane
Sunday 27th - Brisbane
If Auckland ends up with no extra dates, they might put a 5th show on in Melbourne on Thursday the 10th...maybe a 6th on Wednesday the 9th, but I think Auckland will get one extra show on Tuesday the 8th and then they'll move everyone to Australia.
Yes for 5 shows in Melbourne because Melbourne is the greatest city in the world. And I'm will to take the day off from work if she needs a tour around the city.

If I have to be objective, her best album is

Also this is Barbara at 56. Could you even imagine her coming out with BIM? Power of Madonna. #respect
-
Not that anyone cares but I've been listening to it all week since the tour announcement for AUS/NZ and the BIM video. Seriously it is such a fucking awesome album. There is so much on there I don't know how you can get bored. Right now I'm rocking BIM/DP/BN/HW/Iconic/Sex. The cover is iconic as fuck and I'm so keen she is bringing this album on tour to AUS.
All these cunts talking shit about how embarrassing she is and how she is old and needs to put it away seriously eat a fucking dick. Do you know what Barbara Streisand was doing when she was 56?? (In 1998 BTW I googled it.) She was singing duets with Vince Gill. Is that really want you want from Madonna? No hate to Barbara but give me BIM any day!
Let's also not forget that even after 30 fucking years who do the new girls STILL get compared to. So many have come and gone in the time she popped up on the scene but they are ALWAYS compared to her. Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Katy etc don't get compared to Britney or Christina or Janet or Mariah (BTW what are Cyndi and Belinda up to nowadays?) they still get compared to Madonna. Half of them won't even be around in 5 years when she is being compared to the next round of new girls.
Anyway cheers to Rebel Heart. The second greatest album she's released (Fuck what the haters say)!
(BS is #1 if anyone is wondering.)

Meh. Ranks toward the bottom personally. Some good tracks but it's not an album I listen to often. I never understood the adoration for the title track or it's video for that matter. Frozen is a great song and NRM was also a favorite. After Evita though I feel her voice changed and ROL was the start of that. She's seemed to sing "higher" but I've always loved her deeper voice. I think she's reverted slightly back to her original "sound" with RH hence why I probably love the album so much.
To sum up, it's a good album (it's Madonna afterall) but I wouldn't rate it as her best.
On a side note I've always wondered if it would be held so highly if the critics didn't give it such rave reviews? I mean it seems to be the only album where she's really had everyone on board, but consider how many of her older albums got trashed yet now appear in "Greatest ofs" lists?
-
Imagine she kicks around Aus for a holiday after the tour!?! Spends a couple months seeing the sights? LOL That's be pretty cool!! If you're going to take a break from shit Aus is a pretty good place to do it.
I think we might get 5 Melbourne/Sydney dates and maybe one more Brisbane date? Still waiting on a winery show though.
-
Don't write LDLHA off! Just listen to her voice, her emotion. The lyrics, the build up at 1:37!! It's got a great RnB vibe that sounds awesome when you listen to it with RH. Seriously it could be this tours LAV/LS moment. The original LAV version I think is better than the video version. Seriously I never really paid it much attention until RH!

Have a different view from most. Been to so many concerts ( other artists ) and the biggest hits of their careers are the ones that set the place alight and create an incredible atmosphere. So I personally think that Vogue, Like a Prayer, Express Yourself, Holiday, Into the Groove, Music and Hung Up should always be played. They are the songs that everyone knows and I mean everyone. Regardless if diehard fans like it or not, casual fans help make the atmosphere. They pay big money to see a legend and want to hear these songs. After those big hits, then Madonna can pick whatever she wants and everyone should be happy. To be perfectly honest, I don't think I have ever heard fans of other artists complain about hearing massive hits on tours regardless if they are played on other tours. Not sure why Madonna fans do it.
Those are definitely big tracks and I think she should play some of them BUT I'd also like to hear some other big tracks. WTG was huge back in the day and Holiday she hasn't played forever. Causing a Commotion was also just as big I believe (#2 same as EY). Borderline and CFY have been longtime fan favourites she hasn't played a lot. I would be happy for her to retire Vogue or LAP for one of those tracks!
-
^ what he said!! WTG would be awesome to hear!!! True Blue would be awesome too. So can't wait for this tour!
-
I said AGES ago that LDLHA sounds great with the RH tracks. I bumped the thread in the general Madonna forum. It's the one about listening to BS. Id love to hear it in a ballad section. LOVE/ROMANCE really seems to be a big theme. (Something else I mentioed earlier) I'm getting excited!!! MDNA seemed to be very "dark" in terms of themes, RHT might be the opposite!!
-
It seems like the odd album out as it never got a "proper" tour. Even I'm Breathless had tracks make it on BA! She's even hit up the Evita soundtrack more!!
Inside of Me
Forbidden Love
Love Tried To Welcome Me
Sanctuary
..all kick ass tracks!!
Call me silly but you know what other song really fits in with RH? Love Don't Live Here Anymore. I've never really ahd a thing for this track but listening to how she sings it with so much emotion and to know this came out on LAV it's really strange how she was never considered a "vocalist."
Called it. In response to her latest Instagram. Anyone?
-
She might separate the tour into "Rebel" and "Heart" similar to the album. I can see True Blue and DYU being "heart" songs. Not sure if we'll get full tracks though? Maybe a medley?
-
Have faith RH. I think there are still opportunities to get good tickets outside the presales. Its only the first day. I haven't bought tickets yet either!
Very excited for everyone who did get great tickets today! Well done and congratulations!
The big question though is who is going to avoid spoilers until then?! Hahaha
-
Any international fans planning on coming to Aus?
-
Whos organizing the melbourne after party?
-
i want to know wether there are certain amounts of tickets put aside for each presale??
I think there is. I think they allocate "blocks" of tickets for pre-sales and whatever is not sold just gets added with the rest of the remaining tickets for the general public sale. Pretty sure they set aside "good" tickets for each sale.
