^Secret was amazing but it's essentially the Drowned World Tour version, Who's That Girl is WAY more special and a highlight of the show.
-
^I agree, the album has like 2 dance bops at most, Living For Love & Bitch I'm Madonna...
-
Secret!!! What kind of slayage!
-
Suddenly, it seemed every first single needed someone to keep it afloat until "Living For Love" broke that streak.
Two songs is "every first single" now and what about Celebration anyway?
-
I get the whole "came a bit late" after all the Timbaland and Justin stuff but then look at the 20/20 experience. And then Pharell with Robin Thicke etc so in a way she was a bit ahead of the curve. It was like a bit late to the party with things too early for everyone to appreciate
The "working late with a producer" thing was so biased, why didn't people say it for Bloodshy & Avant on COADF? Then Klas Ahlund, Jean-Baptiste & Jimmy Harry for MDNA? Not to mention, Diplo, Kanye, Avicii, Billboard, MoZella, S1 & Toby Gad on Rebel Heart? All of these people gave hits for other artists before Madonna used them...
-
Is it a trend now that in 2-show cities she does the "extra song" only on one of them?
-
So RH is not physically demanding? Bye.
But I doubt she'll ever do another show crazy cardio tour like S&S/MDNA. Do you remember how physically and mentally exhausted she was towards the end of the tours? Not again please
I still don't see how MDNA Tour is more of a "cardio tour" than Rebel Heart Tour, only the opening and finale had hardcore dancing.
I don't get either why people assume Rebel Heart Tour is not physically demanding, some fans act like it's the same as Kylie's Fever Tour for example, where she just stood at one spot and waved her arms...
-
Sticky had more of a band no? Or was that just the Romanian chaps just added ?
It's been the same band post-CT on the last 3 tours I believe.

- "I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once
I know the warmth she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside
You can't take that from me"
- "Well I know from experience
That if you have to ask for something
More than once or twice
It wasn't yours in the first place
And that's hard to accept
When you love someone
And you're led to believe
In their moment of need
That they want what you want
When they don't"
- "When you looked into my eyes
And you said goodbye
Could you see my tears
When I turned the other way
Did you hear me say
I'd wait for all the dark clouds bursting in a perfect sky
You promised me when you said goodbye
That you'd return when the storm was done
And now I'll wait for the light
I'll wait for the sun
Till I feel your..."
- "Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your
Secret with me"
- "And the ground gave way beneath my feet
And the earth took me in her arms
Leaves covered my face
Ants marched across my back
Black sky opened up
Blinding me
I ran to the forest
I ran to the trees
I ran and I ran
I was looking for me
I ran to the lakes
And up to the hill
I ran and I ran
I'm looking there still
And I smelt her burning flesh
Her rotting bones
Her decay
I ran and I ran
I'm still running away"
- "It's quiet as it is tonight
You almost think you were safe
Your eyes are full of surprises
They cannot predict my fate
Waiting underneath the stars
There's something you should know
The angels they surround my heart
Telling me to let you go" -
I wish she did Hanky Panky instead of Candy Shop. It's the perfect song for that section!
It would be the same as RIT version.
-
Well after 15 shows passed, Ghosttown is almost exactly like what Holiday was on the North American leg of MDNA Tour.
-
^Like, almost anything post-1992?
-
Just download the chicago bootleg , this show is 100 % live excep a few lines in holy water
Come on now, let's not be like Janet fans. Her mic is always on but that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of backing tapes throughout the show.
-
-
Sticky & Sweet Tour, it has all her eras represented.
Rebel Heart Tour has a few songs that have been overperformed by now and most of the 1990s are ignored.
-
This this this.
These ROLighters/Confessioners need to STOP with all these "working with unknown producers for a cohesive record" suggestions as if it's the only way it works. Most of her records are produced/written by hit makers for god's sake and her 80's records were very eclectic. Thank god madonna the control freak was gone and I love how spontaneous her creative process has become. I'll take Rebel Heart over Confessions/Music any time any day bye.
And it's ironic how the ROLighters conveniently ignore that Madonna used Rick Nowels on it, who co-wrote and co-produced Belinda Carlisle's Heaven Is A Place On Earth & Celine Dion's Falling Into You...
-
Well I compared it to the previous 4 performances of the song and this one does not sound completely live to me and like I said check at 2:34 where she doesn't seem to be in sync with the backing tapes.
-
it does seem more developed, though I don't know what 'vocal beds' are?
Backing tapes, it sounds way too clear compared to Chicago.
-
Full Ghosttown. Very powerful singing
Is this a more plugged in version now? Sounds different from the previous night. I think she also has vocal beds on, check at 2:34 for example, she seems to do the line too quick.
-
The album version is still great, her vocals are awesome!
-
Despite a bad crowd, she did both Who's That Girl & Ghosttown?
-
She probably does but she also knew fans wanted True Blue, Who's That Girl and Deeper and Deeper. She cannot do everything everyone wants.
AND even though everyone is begging for Take a Bow it's actually not really a fan favourite imo. I've read many people on here say they don't like that song. I believe when Whoop did his big voting poll some time ago it was not in the top 100.
Yeah I think a lot of fans dislike Take A Bow because it's "too mid-90s Babyface" many fans detest her AC period anyway...
-
Less props, more about the music, more hits as the show progresses. Basically she goes from "all about the Rebel Heart and current music most people don't know" to "all for my fans, here's all the hits from my first 3 albums, love u all".
But i'm not complaining! I love this tour.
But we know she cut stuff like those drums for Hold Tight (which i could almost BET Burning Up replaced), etc...
It's not like post-DWT shows had more props, let's be serious now! Adding hits does not mean "less production costs" either. She usually crams the new songs at the first half of the show so you could use the same argument for TGS and CT as well.
And I don't see how Hold Tight would fit inbetween Bitch I'm Madonna & Holy Water, two obviously "rebel" songs, nor how a number with drums mean "elaborate production", she basically did it in the previous tour with Give Me All Your Luvin'...
-
now i understand why this show starts with a huge production and gets more and more stripped and full of hits.
Probably when they started planning this tour and creating concepts they were expecting it to do better. Once they saw how much they would get, they had to cut costs.
I love this tour but this is painfully obvious and has been discussed before. And i actually think it ended up being a blessing in disguise!
Where does it show? Her costumes look best since more than a decade, the show hardly looks "cheaper" than RIT or CT. One could argue about interludes not having new footage but CT didn't have any either...
Can't Stop -- Finest Vocal performance?

Her vocals in the verses are everything!
Some called Stephen Bray's production in it as the precursor to Express Yourself.
