So far,I'm impressed with everything I've seen and heard about this tour.Madonna does it again! Another amazing tour.

What song does Madonna do the Joan of Arc look in? I haven't found in high quality video post Nobody Knows Me.

^ not impressed. It's one of the most mainstream ones on the album, but among the weaker tracks. I'm Addicted would have been a better choice, or at some point, Love Spent

The tour images look good, I wish she was doing more older songs.

"I'm Addicted" should have been the first single.It's the strongest dance track on the album.

They should have released "Give Me All Your Luvin" as a SuperBowl/buzz single,then followed it up quickly with "I'm Addicted" as the first 'official' first single (with an amazing video).

Then,"Love Spent" should have been the next single,followed by "Falling Free" (Madonna really needs a ballad single for a change,to show some diversity).

"Turn Up The Radio" isn't terrible,but there are better,stronger tunes on the album.

There is zero point in releasing another single at this juncture. The album is gone from the Billboard 200 and is about to fall off the world chart, too. It's done.

Madonna should pay $1m for controversial clip, says French politician

French right-wing politician Jean-Marie Le Pen has spoken out against Madonna after the pop star compared his daughter Marine, who was a candidate in the recent French presidential election, to Adolf Hitler.

A video that featured Le Pen with a swastika covering her face was broadcast on a huge screen during a recent Tel Aviv concert during Madonna’s performance of “Nobody Knows Me.” Faces of other global political and religious figures, including Pope Benedict, Sarah Palin and Hu Jintao, also appear in the video.

Marine Le Pen warned, “If she does that in France, we’ll be waiting for her.” French press reported that her camp said she will sue if the video plays at Madonna’s planned Paris concert in July.
Her father spoke out while in Lyon on Thursday, recommending that his daughter “ask Madame Madonna — and everyone who organized her international show — for $1 million.”
The father also referred to Madonna as “this singer who became famous by throwing her underpants between Jacques Chirac’s hands.”

Jean-Marie Le Pen is the honorary president of the National Front party and is known for his anti-Semitic and racist beliefs and comments. His daughter has been attempting to separate herself from Nazi sympathizers who supported her father but is still far to the right on many political matters and is strongly opposed to illegal immigration, abortion and same-sex marriage.

Marine Le Pen earned nearly 18 percent of the public vote in the first round of the French presidential election in April.

Madonna hasn’t responded to the Le Pen family’s criticism of her video and is scheduled to perform in France on Bastille Day, July 14.

I do to. I was really shocked that she put Candy Shop in the setlist but now I know why

Sometimes I don't like her "song re-inventions" but this one is excellent

One word, Vogue

Interscope really fucked this one (as did M with her single choices).

Shoulda gone:

lead single - Beautiful Killer

Then:

Turn Up the Radio

Girl Gone Wild

I'm Addicted (clubs only)

Hell, she should have called the whole album Beautiful Killer and made it the opening track. i looooooove Girl Gone Wild but it wasn't going to do her any favors in this market after the GMAYL fiasco.

Also - Hard Candy's Singles should have been

1. 4 Minutes (obviously it did well as the launch for the album).

2. Beat Goes On

3. Incredible

4. Heartbeat

COAD:

1. Hung Up

2. Push

3. Jump

4. Get Together

5. Sorry

AL:

1. Hollywood

2. Intervention

3. Love Profusion

4. Nobody Knows Me (clubs only)

Music:

1. Music

2. Don't Tell Me

3. Amazing

4. WIFLFAG

5. Impressive Instant (clubs)

ROL:

1. Frozen (they got this one right!)

2. ROL (ditto)

3. Nothing Really Matters

4. Swim (would have been all over radio!)

5. Drowned World (international only)

Bedtime Stories:

1. Secret

2. Take a Bow

3. Don't Stop (this shit was getting radio airplay everywhere since the album dropped!)

4. I'd Rather Be Your Lover

5. Human Nature

Erotica:

1. Deeper and Deeper (would have been number 1 if lead off)

2. Erotica (still would have been a solid top 5)

3. Rain

4. Waiting (could have been Justify My Love part 2)

5. Words (that hook is a smash hit)

6. Bad Girl (so we still would have gotten the video)

5. Human Nature

"Don't Stop" is the weakest track on that album I think the singles should have been:

Secret

Forbidden Love

although I like "Human Nature" and its video,I never wanted it to be a single.

4 Minutes (the most obvious "hit" on the album)

Devil Wouldn't Recognize You

That's funny--I post video clips but I've only looked at a couple of them--because I wanna be a little bit surprised at the concert. But, so far it is stacking up to be a great tour.

Madonna's MDNA triple tre...alian fans

Madonna's MDNA tour reaches Italy tonight with a show in Rome, followed by stops in Milan (Thursday) and Florence (Saturday)!

Does anybody know the name of this Candy Shop remix? It's the first time a Hard Candy song other than She's Not Me actually sounds like Madonna.

I only wished her boyfriend was dancing in heels and panties as the other men on stage. It would make it more interesting since Madonna is in men's clothes.

It's not an actual remix just a re-arranged live version. Would be great if it was released at some point. It's funky!
