strictmachine Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Yeah now that the glow of iconic has receded a bit, ggw really was a masterpiece in every way. But iconic was still pretty damn good too
Mensch Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 The sound for GGW was a bit...thin. Iconic sounds better...GGW is better. I love both.
Willie Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 This is hard, because they are two totally different pieces. For personal reasons, I love iconic, because I can relate to it.
Larkspur Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Although visually stunning the GGW opening felt like looking into the past and a purging of some kind. The whole MDNA tour and album felt like that to me. Iconic feels victorious and rising above the restraints put upon you in a more positive way. I loved the build up to Iconic and it's message overall. I have a hard time choosing these things because I feel they were both important and yes the GGW opening was interesting and visually stunning as well as the choreography but Iconic covered all the bases for me. It had all those elements and the message is more meaningful for more than just Madonna. I felt MDNA was a more personal battle. Which is cool so...
tycole6 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 There are moments I really love in Iconic but it is far from my favorite Madonna tour opening. The video is great and a lot of the dancing is great as well, but it doesn't have the thrill that Girl Gone Wild had with the live music, the glass shattering, the rising blocks, the BOOBS. To be honest, Iconic is probably towards the middle of all my favorite intros. Confessions, BAT, MDNA, Drowned World, RIT, Iconic, S&S, WTG, Girlie, and Virgin Tour.
DitaDolla Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Girl Gone Wild will probably never be topped and makes every other entrance from all pop tours (from other girls and most of madonna's tours) look like high school plays. That choir, the shattering glass, the choreography, that dancebreak, etc. Perfection. Iconic has a good video, nice message but simply doesn't hit as hard, IMO. Still good anyway. This!!
