TRVC Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 THAT WAS REALLY RAELLY REALLY TOUGH!!! Reinvention was def out of the mix for me. SO DULL BA is CLASSIC S&S was fucking EPIC seeing LIVE SUPERBOWL does it for me. The environment, the energy, the stage design, the amazing exit, the mix of the song...it is such a special moment for Madonna... (MDNA was just a rehash of that..)

ryan Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Blond Ambition and MDNA are the only ones that matter Everything else.... Though Live8 was nice And Sticky Theater Extravaganza was cool. But really, just BA and MDNA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimos Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 For me, it would be the Blonde Ambition version or the MDNA version. In the MDNA version I particularly like the part near the end where the chords sound a bit different from in the original (I'm not sure how to describe it technically, maybe major instead of minor?). It's from about the 4:40 mark in the video posted above. I think the plodding RIT version sucked the life out of the song, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdna2012 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I chose BA, but S&S was a very close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karbatal Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 It's tough because i like BA so much that sometimes i have to think it over. LAP in BA is gorgeous, but the song has so much history when she performs it now. The Superbowl was incredible, but too "cold". MDNA is simply Madonna giving her love. So yes, it's either BA or MDNA.

Vogue992 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Blond Ambition, because it's my favorite performance ever. But i love all these ones, too (especially MDNA/SB/S&S). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMads Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 what do you mean? People didn't sing??????? Not even in front of Madonna holding her mic? Just felt the bad singing on the dvd ruined the version yeah it was nice showing the interaction with the fans but I would just preferred to hear madonna singing.

Raf Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 MDNA! It was perfection and the audience LOVED IT. I liked it even more after watching the dvd with all the clips from different cities singing along, it was emotional for me. BAT comes in close second, although I believe that if I would've seen it live it would be my number 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unruhe Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Nothing can beat the mind blowing S&S performance, the best song on the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisonc2 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) There seemed to be a sense of finality of the MDNA performance. I don't think we will see it performed again because let's admit it, LAP in MDNA was the way it was always supposed to be performed - No theatrics, Crazy rave reinvention or boring RIT kabbalah gimmicks. It took 24 years to get it right unfortunately and I think even M knows it. You had the choir and the arrangement was the one we've all grown to love. Classic. If you consider the context of that part of that show, Redemption, she truly owned it during her performance given MDNA's emotional arc, and Like A Prayer is really about finding light, joy and love. MDNA, no question. Edited September 15, 2013 by cameron_sison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neutrocks Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 But what about "Hope for Haiti"? Sweet for the occasion! But those vocals were pretty awful. I personally think the S&S version has the biggest punch. It really grabs you. And I love the sample of "Feels Like Home" in it. Of course, BA is classic. Superbowl was quite surreal based on the fact, it was performed for a crowd of people who aren't huge fans of her. It obvously was a great choice as it has become one of her biggest signature songs that is univerally loved. MDNA was pretty much an extension of that performance.

TRVC Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 if everyone loves MDNA so much....Why is Superbowl being overlooked?! MDNA IS Superbowl! (Minus audience interactions, but same setup with choir and musical arrangments...kind of..lol) MINUS YUCKY CEDRIC the entertainer though, Superbowl is everything!

It's incredible too, but it's Madonna the star delivering, not Madonna the artist. I don't know if i explain myself. Ok, i choose MDNA. (the first time ever that BA doesn't come first for me!!!!!!)

Sloane Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 As much as I like LAP from Superbowl/MDNA, it's blasphemous to say anything other than BAT. Blasphemous, I say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick00 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 They are all great to me, but MDNA is my favorite. I was not too into S&S version when saw it live, but love listening to it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudet Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 The SuperBowl one was a very touching moment, for me just Cee Lo Green mildly ruin it with his typical Sylvester-wannabe vocals. Blonde Ambition and MDNA for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsaacHarris Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 To see the S&S Version LIVE is an experience. Sorry yall, but I know LAP is one her 'classics' but it never really did anything for me, musically! Way too dated (don't crucify me, I was a young fag at the time). But once I witnessed it, remixed and amplified as it was in 2008, I was CONVERTED. And it aint just me, it was the crowd favorite! I'll probably be the only vote, but as far as I'm concerned it's the ONLY performance tht matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluejean Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 MDNA version is the best vocally, very powerful and a great performance but nothing could ever top the musical arrangement and the incredible performance of BAT. THAT is perfection. PS don't forget the American Life promo tour and the Haiti A Capella versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
