OK, I was having "goodbye-good luck in your new job" drinks with a friend last night and I was sitting next to this guy who was talking really loud but he reminded me of a middle-eastern "Jack" from Will & GRACe and couldn't help but giggle at the stories he was telling.

But then I hear him talk about how he saw Madonna in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami last summer and said both shows she did DRESS YOU UP. I turned around and interrupted and said "No way! she didn't do dress you up at the NYC show I saw."

He got all excited that I had seen the Madonna show too and we started talking about the show and I mentioned the only thing that annoyed me was that she just walked off the stage when the "Reinvent Yourself" sign came up. SO he goes something like...."Not at the shows I saw in Florida ... and at the very end after the show was over, she came out and talked to the audience for a few minutes.

First off: I didn't realize Madonna added DRESS YOU UP into some shows (I know she was rehearsing it)...Miami/Ft. Laud. folks, can you confirm? I'm kinda salty as I would have loved to have seen this.

Second: Madonna talking to the audience for a few minutes after the show ended? DO I have another reason to be salty?

No, but U do have reason 2 b suspicious. That guy was talking out his booty. "Dress You Up" was originally slated 2 b on the set list but was cut and never per4med on the tour. As far as the "audience chat" goes, maybe he had 2 much 2 drink and mistook 1 of the many drag queens that turned up 4 the concert as her.

It was funny in the weeks and months leading up the tour,there were so many crazy rumors about what songs would be performed....


"Justify My Love"---a hard rock version
"Dress You Up"
"Lucky Star"
"Easy Ride"
"Love Profusion" (replacing "Crazy For You" on some dates)
"Nothing Really Matters"
"Borderline"
"Ray Of Light"
"Take A Bow"




most of these songs were actually rehearsed,but ultimately deleted from the final setlist."Material Girl" was a last-minute addition to the setlist,I think it replaced "Dress You Up".

There's always next tour.....

If Like a virgin was added, it would have been awesome. And she could be sexy during the performance. She could re-invent the masturbating on the bed bit, with something more spiritual and kaballah-like.

And a rock version of Justify My Love would be awesome as well.....to replace material girl, which i didn't like too much.

I would have preferred Dress you Up to Material Girl anyday.

Love Profusion replacing Crazy for you would be just crazy (no pun intended)
I almost wept when she dedicated it to her fans. Madonna does have a heart, for her supporters at least. The rest can burn

Lucky Star and Borderline would have been cool, but i was content with "Burning Up" which was awesome
