    ADDICTED

    in ARCHIVE - The REBEL HEART Forum

    Posted

    This song fits perfectly in the American Life album. It s the song that i like the most from the super deluxe album and i d love to see her rock out to it in the tour

    διαφωνώ

    ADDICTED could've worked really well on LIKE A PRAYER (not that the LAP album needed any help). I would've placed ADDICTED in between LOVE SONG and TILL DEATH DO US PART.

    Of course all the EDM elements of that song wouldn't be there, but the guitar and vocals go well with that era.

    Your fav moments from the whole SHOW !!!

    Favorite moment: This may sound corny but when I heard her sing TRUE BLUE on opening night here in Montreal, my sister and I had tears in our eyes.

    Second fav moment: DEEPER AND DEEPER. Although we witnessed her sing this song live in '93 in Montreal at the Olympic Stadium and in 2004 at the Air Canada Center in Toronto, nothing compares to the way she sang it on this tour.

    Third fav moment: WHO'S THAT GIRL. her voice was spectacular.

    LA VIE EN ROSE was probably the most appreciated by the audience in general though, I don't think the casual fans were expecting it at all.

    Next blu ray?

    Ok I got home now (it's 3 am) but I decided to post a short review now, not sure if I will have time tomorrow.

    I arrived at the arena around 7:30, that was also the time when they were supposed to let people in. But it took FOREVER to get in, because they only had 3 security people at my gate. That was ridiculous compared to what I experienced in Prague where it was all very professionally done. Anyway, we got in and I had a spot right at the heart stage, 5th row or so.

    Lunice started his set at 9:15 and played for an hour. I expected the worst but it was actually quite good and very danceable. Most people didn't expect Madonna to come on stage before 10:15 because that's what was written in the email of the ticketing agency. So around 10 the arena got full and then at 10:15 they made the announcement that there is going to be a delay and that she will be on stage at 10:45. The audience booed and many people, who just entered the arena, left again. lol Probably to get another drink or something. As Nonoka already said, she was on stage around 11 (at 10:53 to be exact) and she was in a really great mood tonight. I'd say even better than when I saw her in Prague (1st night). She apologized for being late and explained that the way from Antwerpen to Mannheim is a long long drive (it's not really that long but anyway). ;) The crowd cheered a bit and applauded but as expected, they were quite reserved and most people didn't dance, sadly. The floor wasn't as packed as usual, so I had enough room to dance and experience the show in a very relaxed way. There were many children and 'old' people at the show, which was great to see. Music makes the people come together indeed.

    The guy who caught the bouquet (Patrick) was cute but I believe he couldn't speak English that well or he was just too nervous. Even Madonna noticed it and said something like "I believe you don't understand anything I say. But that's ok because my ex husbands didn't understand anything I said either". He was also the Unapologetic Bitch and when he joined M on stage, she noticed that his shirt said "Madonna made me gay". Hilarious because up to that point he was her 'husband' of the evening. She made some jokes about it, like "am I allowed to see other men? Are you going to see other men, too?" to which he responded 'yes' and they both laughed.

    It was great to finally hear Who's That Girl live. I wasn't really looking forward to this acoustic rendition but it was beautiful when the audience sang along to the chorus. Candy Shop remains a highlight for me - that beat is SICK and I love the choreography for it. It's really quite ironic that this little album track got 3 outings on tour already and all of them rock.

    That's it, I think. Show ended at 1:00 and I needed 45 minutes to get out of the parking space and another 45 minutes to get to Frankfurt. It's gonna be a short night but it was definitely worth it. I wish I could see the show one more time...

    So glad u enjoyed it. Thx for the review

    I am DEAD.

    Was queueing since 1pm (had GA tickets) in the freezing cold and was starting to tell myself never again but now I know fuck yeah!!! I'd do it again any second. Got into front row at the right side of the stage, where the catwalk meets the cross. Once again I'm DEAD!!! Great great spot. There's defo less interaction happening than at the heart but on the other hand you get to be much closer to most of thr performances. And for UB, La Vie En Rose (which makes my heart melt), Holy Water...she was right there in front of me!!! :dramatic:

    Yes she started very late, must have been at around 11pm. She apologized for it though before True Blue and despite the lateness she was actually very very playful and in a great mood!!! She joked around a lot, I'd say more than usual. Somehow she caught the word "Schnitzel" (a type of meat which is popular here - although it's actually Austrian) and kept repeating it at random parts through the show :lol: Her final words in Holiday were "Thank you Schnitzel" :lmao:

    She skipped the medley (which was expected) but at least I finally got to hear Who's That Girl! :)

    Audience was lame (once again, as expected) and only on fire once Holiday started, but I couldn't have cared less, I was singing from the top of my lungs and so were the lovely fans next to me :)

    I'm actually not sure why I'm writing all of this down right now since I'll have to catch a train in 4 hours, so I should actually sleep right now...but whatever, I'm still too much on a high!! I'll post some more stuff tomorrow :)

    Thx for the review. Sleep well

    WHAT ABOUT: the fact that "Lucky Star" vid is lower quality on CELERY than TIC DVD

    Maybe she wasn't much in control. It's clear to me they didn't want to spend any money on it. To master all those videos in a Blu Ray disc would have cost quite a lot and maybe they didn't think it would have paid off in the end. But yes it's true the quality of the DVD is appalling and unacceptable in this HD generation. And the way they didn't include some of her best videos was unforgivable.

    They seriously need to release a box set with all her videos in HD and when I say all I mean ALL of them including the directors cut of American Life and even Dear Jessie and Rescue Me. Yes I'm being petty!

    And let's not forget all her tours in HD! But maybe all these reissues and remastered stuff is something only WB can do... Who knows.

    What's that????? There's a video for rescue me!?!?!?!?!!????!!??!?!?!
