Apples388 Posted July 1, 2015 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan Posted July 1, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macromad Posted July 2, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ziggy Posted July 2, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HavenHigh Posted July 4, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donuts Posted July 4, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
