Apples388 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 We all know it's a Song of Life that is under-performed. Hopefully she'll bring it back for the biggest tour of the 2015-2016 saison, also known as The Rebel Heart Tour. Which tour version did you prefer? DROWNED WORLD TOUR 2001: Geishadonna in full regalia. Not much I can say about this except that it's a masterpiece in theatricality. The Stereo MCs as a backdrop works extremely well. REINVENTION 2004: a 'less is more' approach for this song after the theatrical "Vogue" and intense "Nobody Knows Me." This is just Madonna and a microphone singing her little heart out. We don't see this often enough but it is lovely. STICKY & SWEET 2009: a completely opposite approach this time around, where the song is performed against a dance remix backdrop featuring elements of Calvin Harris' "I'm Not Alone" and also spliced with verses from "Open Your Heart" and also a bit of the "Hung Up" sample for extra measure. With intense group choreography too, naturally! Which of the three do you prefer?
Msig Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Yaaay! Anyway, I have to go with the beautifully arranged and performed RIT version.
ryan Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 LOVE ALL THREE!!! DWT is such a theatrical spectacular perf. But there's something about the RIT perf that I love. Maybe because it's just her singing the song? She sounds amazing too. Love it. And sticky is amaxing. So refreshing to see that in 2009
nick00 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Picked RIT! It was performed simply and sung wonderfully.
Starman Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Sticky one of the best re-inventions ever SHAME WE DONT HAVE A FUCKING OFICIAL RECORDING AND AUDIO
Macromad Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Drowned World version is the best and Reinvention is close second. I don't like the S&S version because the chorus was mutilated.
Guest ziggy Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 The DWT rendition was otherworldly. This is my favourite song of hers. She better do it on this tour, it will be a perfect fit with Ghosttown in the post-apocalyptic section.
runa Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 I hesitated between RIT and DWT but I choose RIT because I love how it's simple and raw. Just beautiful and moving.
Donuts Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Drowned World! But the choreography on SS is one of her best!For some reason prefer watching the rehearsal video of it on YouTube than the finalized polished video
Starman Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Drowned World! But the choreography on SS is one of her best!For some reason prefer watching the rehearsal video of it on YouTube than the finalized polished video Whats the rehearsal video?
david86 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 SS was superb, only partII of the tour, no official video? reinvention was out of tune, sorry..... [the 4 times I was there]
HavenHigh Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 While I love listening to it, the RIT version has always been way too simple and basic for me. DWT is perfectly staged, one of her best performances ever.
Donuts Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Whats the rehearsal video? Soundchecks,there's a bunch of videos on YouTube of just her rehearsing before MDNA,no costumes no make up,just in her natural gym comfy gear
GOD Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 My favourite tour version of FROZEN is the one on REBEL HEART TOUR: FROZEN/DEVIL PRAY MADONNA FEAT. CHER https://myspace.com/394498836/video/cher-frozen/42725721
Flip The Switch Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 LOVE ALL THREE!!! DWT is such a theatrical spectacular perf. But there's something about the RIT perf that I love. Maybe because it's just her singing the song? She sounds amazing too. Love it. This. The backdrop was beautiful.
jaron Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 DWT !!! I want it again on this tour. I love its dramatic energy. For the new tour I want a percussion and ney version <3
Starman Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Soundchecks,there's a bunch of videos on YouTube of just her rehearsing before MDNA,no costumes no make up,just in her natural gym comfy gear Ahh sure I thought a dress rehearsal video had leaked lol
mtzlplk Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Definitely Drowned World Tour... The Geisha segment is hard to top in all of Madonna's tours, other versions were a snoozefest
