Liam you must get tickets! :o

 

I'm not upset at the tour missing out a lot of my fave songs/the classics i'm most upset at how little it seems to represent 'Rebel Heart' as an era which is all about her journey til now.

 

Granted it opens with that message loud and clear and I suppose the (frankly ODD) closing harks back to her initial stamp on the scene, but where is the pain from the LAP era, the ectasy from Confessions, the lessons she learnt during ROL and so on? The songs she's chosen from this album don't even sing and convey the album's message too well either.

 

Still 'Iconic' opening the show will be a MOMENT. What a song <3

SO tempted! Are you off?

 

That's a very good point, I didn't think of it like that but you're quite right. I've no doubt there's a theme/lesson/journey in regards to the tour but it doesn't seem to be matching that of the album.

 

I am surprised Like a Prayer/Hung Up are not on there - I'd say those are two she HAS to do on every tour, especially since the latter connects with her younger fan-base a lot more. She does have so many iconic songs, she needs to mix it up every time she tours because she has near enough 20 big classics so it's sad but fair that my fav Papa Don't Preach only makes it sometimes.

 

The omission of Ghosttown is baffling and unforgivable though! And I like Holiday, and I know it was her first ever megahit but I don't think it's a closer, I feel like she's made a good dozen more closing-worthy songs since Holiday.

I agree, it stuck out to me too that there was no proper big classic in the way 'Like a Prayer' and 'Hung Up' are. 'Vogue' is there but, from what I've gathered, it's only mashed up with 'Holy Water' opposed to being a grand performance full of choreography like in the past,

 

I was rather underwhelmed by 'Holiday' closing too, especially after the fantastic closers to the last three tours. It's a very joyous song but hearing her chant "Holidaaaaayyyy! Celebraaaate!" over and over again gets quite tiresome after a while, as the Re-Invention Tour proved.

 

I'd personally have liked 'Rebel Heart' to close the tour as it sums up the album best and one I think the crowd could really get behind and sing along to.

Interesting that they've added more dates when almost none are sold out as is. I say not sold out, knowing full well they all will be in the end anyway, even if it just means half the arena is closed off.

^Unless they were planning on touring in these places anyway and just needed to sort things out before making it official.

 

Another date: Madonna's coming to Bangkok on February 9th.

I keep watching clips of the opening night and what is pleasing to see is the amount of stripped back, intimate performances with good vocals to match. So touching to hear the crowd singing and clapping along, makes for a much more personal experiences opposed to just witnessing a theatrical performance. 'La Vie En Rose' and 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore' are definite ones to watch - quality of audio isn't great in the latter but, from what I can gather, she succeeds in hitting the raw but strong notes of the 80s version.

 

 

Apparently there is 24 more tour dates expected! :o http://drownedmadonna.com/more-24-rebel-he...ounced/20150914

 

Also, here's one thing to do with your 5 minutes of fame:

4 posts in a row, I know, but more Asian dates added:

 

February 4 - Taipei, Taipei Arena

February 13 - Tokyo, Saitama Arena

February 17 - Hong Kong, Asia World Arena

February 20 - Macau, Studio City Event Center

February 21 - Macau, Studio City Event Center

Some of those are very small dates, I mean we all know her STAR is on the wane, but this all feels very odd to me.

Small dates ?

Who else can do these dates and charge those prices ?

 

She is still the queen .

What's a "small date"? They're all full size arenas. She also added:

 

Jan. 06 - Mexico City, MX - Sports Palace - Details to follow

Jan. 10 - San Antonio, TX - AT&T Center - On Sale Sept 21

Jan. 12 - Houston, TX - Toyota Center - On Sale Sept 21

Jan. 14 - Tulsa, OK - BOK Center - On Sale Sept 21

Jan. 16 - Louisville, KY - KFC Yum! Center - On Sale Sept 21

Jan. 18 - Nashville, TN - Bridgestone Arena - On Sale Sept 21

Feb. 09 - Bangkok, Thailand - Impact Arena - On Sale Oct. 3

 

But maybe they're small dates too? IDK. The AT&T Centre is a mere 19,000 capacity stadium, after all.

Sorry, I meant small in the sense that they aren't the kinds of place you imagine MADONNA to be playing. I mean MACAU is hardly a MUST STOP on any world tour, let alone for someone of her stature.

Jennifer Lopez and Ariana Grande attended her concert at Madison Square Garden last night:

At first I only saw that top picture and I was thinking to myself "how is that person on the right supposed to resemble Ariana Grande?" :lol:

Gawd, J LO looks STUN GORGE there.

Is that Liza Minelli with Ariana?

J Lo looks like Casper's younger sister. Amazing.

Is that Liza Minelli with Ariana?

 

She's come in character as Lucille 2 (RIP) as well!

Sean Penn and Alicia Keys there last night.

Not awkward at all when 'True Blue' was performed! :P

She performed 'Ghosttown' last night in Brooklyn :D
