ryan Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Well as far as I know Bedtime Story would've been the closing performance, probably followed by an encore. The VMA Version would've been used for the performance. Secret, Take a Bow, I'll Remember and Human Nature were definitely in as well. That's pretty self-explanatory, though... I think Live to Tell and Like a Prayer would've been performed as well. Live to Tell was originally part of the Girlie Show setlist before it was dropped and Like a Prayer was left out on GS, eventhough it was quite a big hit. I also think that Erotica, Deeper and Deeper, Justify My Love and even Rescue Me had quite a chance of inclusion on this tours setlist, maybe Bad Girl or even Words too. From BS I would've liked to see Forbidden Love, Sanctuary and Survival. I'm not sure about the other three...I think one of them would've made the cut as well. As far as I know??? What's your source? Like vocalism said, did we miss something that surfaced recently about an early setlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adreeyen Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 It's cause your young. Trust me, when your in your 20's, you will re-discover this album and fall for it. That said, I replaced Don't Stop and I'd Rather Be Your Lover in my iPad version (not that I necessarily hated em or anything) with Your Honesty and I Want You and I love it as an album so much more.

JWAD Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) I really liked this album at the time, I remember listening to "Bedtime Story" for the first time and it sounded nothing like she had ever done before. "Your Honesty" should have made the cut Best songs: Secret Inside of Me Human Nature Forbidden Love Love Tried to Welcome Me (beautiful) Sanctuary Bedtime Story OK songs: Don’t Stop (don't like the vocal tone) Take A Bow (really like the song, but I actually prefer the Silky Soul Mix to the original version) Worst songs: Survival (hate it with a passion) I’d Rather Be Your Lover (far too slow, just does nothing for me, the best bit is the rap) Should have been included: Your Honesty Love Won't Wait Let Down Your Guard So basically my tracklisting for the album would have been: Secret Don’t Stop Human Nature Inside of Me Forbidden Love Love Won't Wait Love Tried to Welcome Me Let Down Your Guard Sanctuary Bedtime Story Your Honesty Take A Bow (Silky Soul Mix) Singles: Secret Take A Bow Human Nature Inside of Me Your Honesty Edited May 29, 2013 by JWAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VogueMusic Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Wait a minute...where's all this BS tour info coming from? And was the actual title going to be the "Get Unconscious Tour"? Why in all my years have I never heard of this stuff? (on the other hand, what a tour that would have been). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPowered Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 As far as I know??? What's your source? Like vocalism said, did we miss something that surfaced recently about an early setlist? I read it somewhere in this forum that all that it was confirmed that Bedtime Story was definitely going to end the show (no information wether there was going to be an encore or not!) It was reported that there were brief rehearsals, too. madonna herself said that she was trying to make the BS tour happening and that some plans have already been made, but she was not sure wether she was going to tour or not. Rehearsals must have happened somewhere between the release date of Bedtime Story and the making of Human Nature as she had already decided not to tour while the video for Human Nature was filmed. Regarding the singles I forgot to mention that that was an assumption as well, just like the rest of it (If I say "I think ... would've been performed as well", it means, that I was assuming this). But as I said, it's pretty obvious that she wasn't going to skip any of the singles for that tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ex hates that song too, and it's always baffled me. The '70s vibe is sexy (I LOVE those first few seconds before the vocals start), and her vocals/lyrics are great. I can understand IRBYL, but I like that one as well. There's something about her vocals that really appeal to me - and I have always been able to relate to the lyrics. I think you should reconsider both of these with an open mind. "Your Honesty" was a nice little b-side to get in 2003, but I think it's ultimately one of the weakest songs from the BS sessions and I can see why it was left off. It's pretty generic. I do like "Let Down Your Guard" though. "Love Won't Wait" is terrible IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I think it's clear from what she said publicly (that Bjork's album was the reason she wanted to work with Nellee Hooper) that BS is probably the direction she wanted the whole album to go in, but likely felt pressure to follow the more American R&B trend. She was listening to a lot of European trip-hop at the time, and this is borne out by the fact that she worked with Nellee again with Massive Attack on "I Want You" and wanted Nellee to produce ROL. Electronica/trip-hop was where her heart was at and continued to be for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because NBA players are largely black means she was listening to R&B? I'm not going to call that racist, but it's totally ignorant. She said repeatedly that she was more interested in what was happening in Europe, with Massive Attack, Nellee Hooper, Tricky, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drunkbysix Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 And it's true madonna was fucking with a lot of men with urban backgrounds around the time BS was released, and she worked with babyface who was a popular r&b writer artist and producer then. She was involved with 2pac, Dallas Austin was a producer and didnt he do shit for TLC? It's very obvious she wanted her album to have a heavy r&b influence based on the people she was hanging around with and the producers and image she chose.

It was confirmed that The Funny Song replaced Amazing. Her record company wanted to film the performance in order to release it as the official video for the single release, but Madonna wanted Impressive Instant to be released as the fourth single and in order to prevent Amazing from being released she cut it from the setlist.
