Exactly my point. While she did mime "Nobody Knows Me" and two other songs I believe, the rest of the show was live. How can you say her show was a sham? She's just doing what she did on the Blonde Ambition Tour, on the Drowned World Tour, etc. Chill out, will ya?

Vogue, Nobody Knows Me, and Die Another Day were all re-recorded in the studio to make it sound like they were live, but in fact they were TOTALLY lip-synched. Not sang "over"...totally fake. All 3 songs were heavily choreographed spectacles.

If you're gonna diss M for that, make sure to slag on Janet, Cher, Britney, and especially Mariah (who lip-synchs while just standing there).

The rest of the show was 100% live...I know you heard her chillingly flat high notes on "mother and father" and her frail, worn out attempt on "crazy for you." the rest sounded great IMHO.

i still don't get the aversion to playback. I have many concerts from Madonna on audio and they all are mostly live. there are a few songs where she didn't sing and a few where you can hear her singing over playback. is it wrong? for the type of show she does no.

I asked that question before it became a sticky all its own

I really dont get the big deal over her lypsynching 3 songs that have heavy choreography. Janet lypsynchs all her dance numbers, and Britney fucking lipsynchs 96% of her show! As for Mariah, I dont really like thinking of her as lipsynching, though if she does, I would be flat out disappointed.

At least Madonna's singing 90-95% of her show.

Hi guys.
You are now able to stream a ten minute preview of Madonna's new documentry.

It looks really good from the clip. But i guess you'd have to be able to stomach her religiousness. Though she still acts like a bitch when she has to. And the dancer auditions is a treat to see.

jayaredee said:

it was better than i thought it was going to be.

i hope the remixes she commissioned last year for her old stuff surface soon. i wonder if the mix of Material Girl was one of them?

the clip looks pretty good. It's obvious that she's a much different person than she was in Truth or Dare. That's what intrigues me. In Truth or Dare she was very "Im MADONNA BITCH" and now she seems to be a bit more down to earth. O Well, both Madonna's are cool with me. Cant wait to see it. BTW, when is it coming out on DVD?

newskin69 said:

And your response is so typical of someone who hasn't seen the show, and formed their opinions based on gossip and rumour. Anyone who went to the show will know she mimed like 3 songs max, and that was either because of the vocoder effect, or because in Vogue she wouldnt have been able to give a decent vocal due to the choreography.Her voice for the rest of the show was the best Ive heard it of all her tours

I think you're pretty much alone in having a problem with that. I can assure you the experience was nothing like sitting on your arse at home with the CD on. I've seen a lot of acts live,from Prince to Bowie to plenty of smaller acts, and i think i can safely say that this was one of the best shows ive ever seen. She can do the whole singing whilst sitting down thing when she's 60, leave that shit to Barbara Streisand. Madonna is a performance artist, so shut the fuck up.
