Sorry. Didn't realize you were such a big fan of "We are the world." I should've been more sensitive.
Has nothing to do with being a "big fan" of the song/project. It's all to do with almost every post you make, you have to always add something negative. Oh but wait... I get it.. You're just "joking" or maybe I just need to "lighten up". Always the same excuse/justification.
Sorry, but I'm fine! I'm not the one who keeps purposely inserting negative connotations in all of my posts.

Was she not at the AMAs, perhaps?
Or maybe she just heard the song beforehand...
always ready with a dig aren't ya...
In any event, she was indeed invited, but there is no way of knowing why she didn't do it. What I do know is that she had a lot of other things going on at the time. She had a number of singles that year coming out. I also suspect she was preparing for her tour as well. Maybe her management suggested it could have been "overkill", but I can't imagine a charity event like this would matter? There were a lot of popular artists who were among that song.

If it is, then it's quite good but hardly a departure for her - which I suppose is the point for a GH single.
To my ears it sounded like the original "Holiday" meets "Get Together" - which is funny cause everyone said "Get Together" was a "Holiday" homage at the time.
Well, isn't it? Maybe that wasn't its intention, but it sure sounds like an offspring to me. A true homage of old school Madonna dance/celebration songs.
We can only hope "Celebrate" will stand on it's own because if it is tied to one of her classics, it will probably be dismissed.
-
You're right. Most GH are nothing special. But we are talking about Madonna here. She has a back catalogue second to none really. This IS her last project with WBR. Why shouldn't she put effort into this? It is her legacy. I am thrilled we get some new music but I want it to be GOOD new music. If it is trash, what's the point? I know plenty of casual/non-fans that will buy a career spanning GH from her.
I think his point was... why come at it from a negative perspective? Why not just enjoy the fact something new is coming? Why speculate it's demise? Seems pointless at this point since no one has heard it yet. Other than the claims, it's infused in "Holiday" (which no one can really clearly identify), no one knows what it sounds like .
"Celebration" kinda makes sense here, especially if it's going to feature her biggest hits to date. She went into WARNERS "celebrating", so why not go out the same way?

Anyone know if there is a torrent of this yet?
Yes! Not sure if it's the same file from Absolumentmadonna, but it is an AVI @ 1.2 GB (actually it says 1.1 GB for me).

I had to register an account to access it. It was easy. Downloaded the whole thing within a couple hours time. Very nice. Audio is in sync. Video is really good quality. NOT HD, but before HD came along, people wouldn't even bat an eye at this. This will certainly do until the DVD or an HD version comes along. And if neither came along, I think most everyone would be satisfied with this.

Exactly goldtooth.
I love songs like Drowned World, Get Together and Oh Father more than some of her biggest hits. It's not about what I love. It's a career retrospective and should reflect her career of HITS. It's that simple. The thought of another GHV2 and songs the casual buyer has never heard of makes my stomach churn. This GH could define how she is remembered, same as TIC did.
I have to agree with what you said here and the previous post you made. At this point, I cannot see any GREATEST HIT package that will appeal to Fans who have all her albums, singles and compilations unless new track are added. So, I agree the GH should be about reaching further than just the fan base. It should reach to all those casual or non-fans who enjoyed a number of her hits. None of these people want songs like "Oh Father", "Drowned World" and "Bedtime Story", etc. These are songs that most won't recognize or care to listen to.
And in the age where we all can make our own "GREATEST HITS" compilations, I can't see even a hits collection going to sell well unless it includes new tracks and/or alternate versions yet released to the public.
Personally, I rather this time around to have a 2 or 3 disk set... maybe with a DVD, that includes her biggest hits, maybe some rare outtakes, and the new songs. But again, a set like this will be too expensive for casual and non-fans, so maybe an alternate 1 disc set of only her biggest hits should be released with the new tracks.

ur making it sound like giving labor
setting up a ripped file for p2p sharing takes minutes
Actually, he didn't. It's just people are making these demands. It's quite ridiculous. People rip programs, DVD's, shows off television, etc., because they can and want to. Not every one is that savy with the computer.
That said; I am surprised nothing has come about by now. There are some TV shows I download through torrents which are put up by the next day. They are always in HD.

I can't understand why someone would put so much effort and emphasis on trying to find out if someone's vocals were polished during a concert. Let alone, someone who they are clearly a big fan of.... The concert is amazing. Can't we leave it at that. What kind of fans are we? lol
i just dont understand it. Maybe I'm the one with the problem..who knows. lol. Enjoy the show
Actually, I agree. But there isn't really much of "trying to find out". It's quite obvious. And like you, I really don't care. I just know some people get all uptight about it being messed with. And if it isn't, then we have people complaining she sucks. Duh?? Madonna has never been the best live vocalist. I became a fan because of her over all entertaiment, not just her live vocals.

So, with "Borderline," they basically took a new studio-recorded vocal and used it for the broadcast/DVD. The youtube link is off- for those who watched it live, did the vocals for that one at least match up to her mouth movements? With LS on the Confessions DVD, there's one instance where you can plainly see her mouth movements are off with the studio-recorded vocal that wasi n used in place of the actual vocals from that night.
Some parts of the new vocal sound like they could have been from the actual concert (the "growls")- but for the most part, she sang it kinda quiet and sweet in the studio.
I agree. It sounded like the dubbed in alternate vocals in. They weren't polished. I'm sure they did it to give a more live effect to it. And yes, I noticed the growls were in there like in most of the performances.
I only saw the broadcast version on-line. Video wasn't very good. So it was hard to tell if anything matched up. But what I can tell, it looked like they did a very good job polishing up her vocals on all her songs without overdoing it. Borderline was the most noticeable to me. They dubbed in a more subtle softer voice in for her.
I don't mind that they polished up her voice. It still is far different from the originals. And if they left them "as is", we'd hear fans bitching how awful she sounded. So there is no "win win" here.
I'm just amazed they can dub in these vocals and pretty much pull it off as if she's actually singing them at that event.

of course she is gona look a little less skinny at the start of the tour....each show is a work out - you know shes gonna look much skinnier towards the end of the tour.
and i was there last nite front row at the barrier....it was soooo much better than the first leg of thr tour....U americans are missing out big time!
I think the difference is not so much she's not as "skinny". It's more like she bulked up regarding gaining some muscle definition. Those legs look much bigger than I remember her in a long time. Much of that looks like muscle. Then again, it could just that in film/pictures the lens is making her bigger than life.
I think she looks fantastic. She's hot!!
-
I think "Holiday" works good in this section just as "Frozen" does in its new home. However, this reinvention of "Holiday" seems somewhat lackluster to me (aside from the totally bitchin' MJ tribute).
Well, to be fair... the audio is pretty crappy in that YOUTUBE link, so it's hard to tell. But yeah, it doesn't seem to have the same "punch" as her previous concert versions had.
Now, I'd love to see and hear DRESS YOU UP as well.
-
Her ass has CERTAINLY toned up:
Front ain't so bad either:
It is just the pics or is her thighs humongous here?? In fact, she looks quite thick all around the edges. Not to say, she doesn't look good. She does! In fact, looks like all muscles. I just don't recall her thighs looking so big!!!
-
They did the same with Confessions on NBC I think.
Anyway, where's the torrent? :vanitybonet:
Too soon! And I rather someone take their time in putting together the HD version, rather someone rushing a piss poor copy of it with all the commercials included. I'm sure by this time tomorrow, we'll all be seeding and leeching this baby!!
-
She was going to perform "Celebrate" during "Holiday", but that was before the Michael Jackson thing.
So some claim. I wonder if that was ever intended though?? I guess we'll never know unless she includes it back into the show later down the road.
-
So can anyone confirm if the new song was performed at all?? I had my doubts anyway, but some fan sites swore she was going to perform a new song. LOL!
-
They should have done some sort of half or split screen with the credits rolling!!! I'm sure that was due to SKY TV.
-
Thanks but no thanks for the 'Madonna 101' cause I've been fan for more than 22 years and I know she likes to reinterpret her own songs.
But it doesn't mean I have to blindly like them just because she does. Credit when it's due and all that. Rock "Hung Up" is a steaming heap of turd and I think you'll find most fans agree with that.
Why else do you think she axed it off now for the 2nd leg?
I'm sorry, but I didn't say anything of the sort about following "blindly" to everything she does. You obviously are entitled to your opinion as I am. You stated yours and I stated mine.
And why she cut it from the second leg... is only your assumption. I highly doubt she cut it because you and some fans didn't like the version.
Anyway, I'm here to enjoy the show... not critique what I dislike. Seems to me a waste of time to spend any time on what I dislike when there is so much more that I rather talk about that I DO like.
-
So so far, it's exactly the same as the original show? No DYU, No Holiday, No Frozen etc?
Umm... this is the 1st leg of the tour. It's from the forthcoming DVD!!! This isn't a live version of the current leg.
-
Oh no the worst thing ever
"Hung Up"
While I agree the original version sounds much better suited... I think this is a great interpretation. If you've been a fan of Madonna long, you'd know that she isn't about performing something exactly like the album version. If you want to hear the album version, put on the album.
I'm curious how FROZEN will fit in this spot with the second leg?
-
Wow... look at those legs... THICK!!!!! She does appear a little more thicker around the edges. It looks a lot like muscle. She looks fantastic!!
-
Love this version of LIKE A PRAYER. That sample of "Feels Like Home" fits right in. Another favorite one from this show.
-
Okay... "You Must Love Me" is her best vocal on this tour!!! FABULOUS!!! LOVE IT!!! And "Don't Cry For Me..." sounds great too. This proves she has the pipes to sing live!!
-
Spanish Lesson is so much better live. This is the one track that I prefer to skip over when listening to HARD CANDY, but the live performance is just awesome.
-
"Borderline" was obviously not the actual live vocals at the show, but I love how they were able to insert recorded vocals to make it sound live.
A lot of vocal enhancement here, but at least it still sounds "live".
Why was Madonna not in "We are the world"?
in ARCHIVE - Madonna

Why? Because I make a truthful observation? So that makes me "bitchy"?? In fact, I didn't once use vulgar language, nor a tone that came off "bitchy" or nasty.
