Just a clarification - I rarely think she herself looks bad, and I don't generally speak badly of people's body or body types. A look on the other hand, I am not afraid to dissect. I don't like this look.

I'm pretty whitebread, myself.

How did you first get hooked on rap?

VoicesCarry said:

By borrowing my tapes that I recorded from the radio (says the whitest slice of Wonder Bread this side of The Carpenters).

VoicesCarry said:

I was aware of rap in the mid `80s since the media had a frenzy covering breakdancing and mega acts from the Russell Simmons era, like Run DMC, Beastie Boys, and LL Cool J.

But I actually came in with the Yo! MTV Raps crowd (I was actually watching Rap City on Muchmusic though) in the late late `80s. I remember around this time my cousins in Saskatchewan and Washington were into rap, so they played me alot (NWA, Too Short).

In Canada, PolyTel compiled two volumes of pop-rap called Rap Traxx, which seems to be my introduction. After this I started my own research for what I missed in the 80s while living in a complete vacuum!

Rap Traxx
1 Wild Thing Tone Loc
2 Parent Just Don't Understand D.J. Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince
3 It Takes Two Rob Base & D.J. EZ Rock
4 Going Back To Cali L.L. Cool J
5 Friends Whodini
6 Push It Salt 'n Pepa
7 Dont Believe The Hype Public Enemy
8 Walk This Way Run D.M.C. with Aerosmith
9 Stupper Rap (No Sleep At Bedtime) Morris Minor And The Majors
10 Paid In Full (The Cold-Cut Re Mix) Eric B. & Rakim
11 Stylin' Skinny Boys
12 Fight For Your Right Beastie Boys

Rap Traxx 2
1 Bust A Move Young M.C.
2 Buffalo Stance Neneh Cherry
3 Funky Cold Medina Tone Loc
4 Joy and Pain Rob Base & D.J. E Z Rock
5 My Philosophy Boogie Down Productions
6 Nightmare on My Street D.J. Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince
7 Say No Go De La Soul
8 I'm That Type of Guy L.L. Cool J
9 How Ya Like Me Now Kool Moe Dee
10 Mary Mary Run DMC
11 Childrens Story Slick Rick
12 Shake Your Thang Salt-N Pepa

well now, this is annoying. there's supposed to be 2 photos from vadge's coachella performance posted here...

nice pic. she was more "cush" there ...now she looks too much like a long distance runner to me...i like old, cushy, voluptuous, fellini-esque madonna, not macrobiotic-olympic-triathelon warrior-princess madonna

Ottensen said:

These are about the best she's ever looked but I think she looks more shapely in these b/c of how she's angling her hips really...

2 of my favorite Madonna shots for sure.

GangstaFam said:

her best sexiest body ever.

EDD said:

I'm starting to get worried about this tour. Have you all seen the pictures of her hanging on the "disco cross." Uh oh.

EDD said:

Good call EDD.

The show starts with the video of Madonna doin the photo shoot for W. It’s live film, unlike Re-Inventions pics pieced together. You actually see Madonna walk up to the horse..it’s done like a movie.

Equestrian

Future Lovers - Madonna appears at the end of the middle runway and performs the entire song at end near the audience. She comes from inside a giant disco ball (like what we’ve seen). There are 4 or 6 dancers that join her at the end of the stage. The video continues on the screens in the background. She sings the lyrics to a Donna Summer song "I feel love"..

Get Together - is just Madonna. She sings it from the main stage. The screens behind her are mainly red.

Like a Virgin - is indeed on a merry-go-round of sorts. She basically does a combination striptease/pole dance and rides a saddle all while the pole goes in circles. She grinds the saddle quite a bit. Very sexual.

Jump - GOES INSANE. A huge platform comes down from the ceiling over the center catwalk. There are guys doin acrobatics and gymnastics everywhere. It’s a great number. The highlight of the Equestrian section.

Live to Tell - Is on a big, white cross. She hangs for the entire song. Before the song you see the story of 3 differnet people who have been abused. You hear their voices as they tell their stories. It’s quite moving.

Forbidden Love - The cross stays on stage and during the song two male figures appear on each side of the stage- they hold hands and dance together..all while this huge white cross watches. It definately makes a statement.

Isaac - Believe it or not- the end of this song is where Madonna does the most dancing. She is joined by a male singer (as we already know). There is quite a dance number at the end of the song.

Sorry - FUCKIN ROCKS!! . One of the highest points of the show!! with Pet Shop Boys voices saying Sorry Forgive ME over and over..

Like It Or Not - wow..

Sorry Remix - VERY political images on a video screen. She rips on EVERYONE!! Some funny footage of George W. blinking..alot!

I Love NY - same as Coachella.

Let It Will Be - Great rock version. Similar to Coachella.

Ray of Light - Rock, guitar, the dancers wear black with white ties. It is similar dancing to Coachella if not exactly the same

Drowned World - Her voice sounds GORGEOUS. She just sits on the stage and sing.

Paradise Not for Me - joined with the male singer from Isaac. Weird red blood-clot-ish images on teh screen. It seems to be blood clots shaped like peace signs and crosses..

Music - John Travolta outfit. Some great video footage. She dances like crazy! The dancers are on roller skates..

Erotica/You Thrill Me - The white skin tight outfit from Access Hollywood clips. Fun, cute number. More You Thrill Me then Erotica.

La Isla Bonita - what you saw on E! and Access Hollywood

Lucky Star - She wears a weird cape that had lights on the inside of it. She dances a lot and went a bit crazy. The dancers have a good time. They are everywhere.

Hung Up - Exactly what we’ve seen. Great way to end the show.
