  1. About the old school section, from Mtribe:

    yes it's all in there, graffiti, box, sport, rope jumping etc. It's sort of like what you see in bits of the original video for bordeline. The street kids playing sports and dance in the streets and Madonna joins them. The section opens with an amazing new video for Die Another Day with the new images of boxing by Munro

    About the Heartbeat performance:

    It starts with Madonna dropped on the floor after the end of into the groove, sort of what she did at the beginning of Lucky Star in Confessions.

    You hear the heartbeat sound. There is a lot of dancing and musically it's pretty identical to the album version.

    :wow::wow:

  2. LOADS of spoilers in this new Women's Wear Daily article about M's new costumes, including the names of the four sections for the show which are:

    * Gangsta Pimp Section

    * Old School Section

    * Gypsy Section

    * Futuristic Rave Section

    Madonna's Costumes for her Sticky and Sweet Tour

    By Jacob Bernstein

    From WWD Issue 08/05/2008

    Most people are lucky to work with Madonna once. Costume designer Arianne Phillips has lasted 11 years, from the singer's Pre-Raphaelite look for "Ray of Light" to the urban cowgirl of "Music" to the Patty Hearst look of "American Life" and on and on and on. In other words, measured in Madonna time, Phillips is roughly 77 years old.

    Still, La Ciccone's upcoming "Sticky and Sweet" tour has had its own unique challenges for her longtime stylist. "Normally we prep in April and May, and open in June," says Phillips. "This time, the tour begins in August. It's a nightmare. Everyone in Italy and France is on a beach sunning themselves."

    Thankfully, everyone is a bit of an exaggeration, as Phillips goes on to detail a mile-long list of willing collaborators and everything they've designed for the trek, which begins Aug. 23 in Cardiff, Wales, and comes to the United States in early October. Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci designed two outfits, while Tom Ford provided bespoke suits for the band. Three pairs of shoes have been custom-made by Miu Miu, there are thigh-high boots courtesy of Stella McCartney, sunglasses from Moschino, and other outfits and odds and ends from Yves Saint Laurent, Roberto Cavalli, and Jeremy Scott.

    Like her shows in the past, this tour will be divided into four sections. The first references gangsta pimp and Art Deco with Givenchy costumes. This, it would seem, is Madonna's current take on her longest-running fashion inspiration — the dominatrix. "It's a theme that runs throughout her career" Phillips says. "She's not afraid of being hard." The second section has been termed "Old School," and harkens back to Madonna's early days in New York, with Scott's outfit and some vintage prints from Keith Haring, the late graffiti artist and friend of Madonna who died of AIDS in 1990. "He and Madonna were friends. If her were alive, it would be his 50th birthday as well. So I thought, 'What if we revisited that?'" Afterward, there's a gypsy section with more costumes from Givenchy. "Riccardo's a new young talent. If you look at Madonna's history with fashion, that makes him an obvious choice." Finally, there's a futuristic rave section with lots of Japanese influences.

    And while The New York Times complained recently about Madonna's style choices, Phillips says getting older has had little effect on her sense of fashion adventure. "She always wants to push the envelope. There are no vanity considerations based on her age." As Phillips adds seconds later, "She looks good in everything.

  3. EXCLUSIVE And here's our latest update on the Sticky & Sweet track list. We heard that the list of songs that we report below is basically the FINAL one and it includes video and live interludes. But before going into it, here are some exclusive tidbits on what we will be seeing and hearing during this great show!

    The show features four main section. The show opener, Candy Shop, has now a longer intro compared to the promo tour version. A musical intro a la Drowned World Tour, with bits and pieces of song form Hard Candy that we will be hearing later in the show fades into the "C-A-N-D-Y" intro from the promo tour.

    The clock ticking theme from 4 minutes can be heard several times during the show. In the show intro, in Vogue and in the "Get Stupid" interlude, which reminds of the Confessions Tour's Sorry Video interlude. In Get Stupid there are samples of Give It 2 Me, 4 Minutes and Beat Goes On and it's about our chance to save our planet from the various damages we created.

    The use of music samples is very big on this tour. Many of the classic hits are musically re-arranged as mash-ups and the songs are sung on musical tracks heavely sample-ing other dance songs. Like A Prayer, for example, which, as previously reported by M-Tribe, has entered the set list is now replacing Impressive Instant and it's delivered using musical parts of the 1992 dance hit by Felix "Don't You Want Me".

    Into The Groove, that contains a small sample of Madonna's Jump, is also delivered using musical parts of another dance song "Toop Toop" by Cassius, while Borderline is a great "rocky/ska" re-invention of the classic 1983 ballad.

    The first video interlude, a fast and speeded up version of the James Bond theme Die Another Day, features exclusive new footage of Madonna as a boxeur, from the brand new photoshoot by Tom Munro for the Tour Book.

    The second video interlude mashes up Madonna's Rain with the Eurythmics' Here Comes The Rain Again, using their original version and leading to Devil Wouldn't Recognize You. Originally supposed to play the piano herself on this song, Madonna will now be placed on the piano, reminessing a bit the Sooner Or Later performance from Blond Ambition.

    After La Isla Bonita mixed with Lela Pala Tute, there's a live interlude with Romanian/Gipsy song "Doli Doli" which is not sung by Madonna, who will be back on stage to close the section with a fierce rendition of the Accademy Award winning song "You Must Love Me" by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber.

    BRITNEY SPEARS TO BE CUT FROM MADONNA TOUR

    Britney Spears' filmed scenes for Madonna's Sticky and Sweet tour could be cut out, it has emerged. The 'Like a Virgin' singer and Spears recorded the scenes to be broadcast on huge screens.

    But Madonna -- known to friends as Em -- "hates" the video and is thinking about getting rid of it altogether.

    A source close to Madonna says, "Britney looks amazing in the video but Em watched it and told them to take it out because she hated it.

    "It was a scene where Britney was pretending to rip her own hair out."

    It was claimed earlier this week that Madonna is in "meltdown" mode and has been ordered to cut back her work schedule.

    A source said, "Madonna is doing less than OK. She has been rehearsing for the tour and she is totally miserable.

    "She's down physically and mentally. The situation with Guy is very, very tense. The way the press are going crazy with the A-Rod story, her brother's book and her physical exhaustion are all taking their toll.

    "Family tension with her father and two of her other siblings has also been awkward.

    "She feels nobody has taken her side. One of her closest pals says she has never seen Madonna so low. She has been feeling low and looking really gaunt.

    "Madonna was told to go soft on work and rehearsals, so she will now take one proper day off every week and go easy in the mornings.

    "She has a blood analysis done every few days — including one during last Friday's rehearsal in front of everyone."

    Spears, meanwhile, has been nominated for a VMA for her Piece of Me video.
