She supposedly never rehearsed "Everybody" or "Dress You Up" for this tour. She's content with "Borderline" & "Into The Groove" in the setlist from that era. | |

LiveToTell86 said: SoulAlive said: I can't wait to see what the "themes" are gonna be this time around.Once we learn what the themes will be,the setlist will make alot more sense.Anybody wanna make any predictions?
Act 1 Act 2 Act 3 Act 4 My prediction is that we're not gonna see 4 themes. There's no way the first act will have a theme with "Candy Shop", "Human Nature" and "Vogue" in there. The second act might be just simple dance, after all 3 of those songs are all about dancing. Act 3 is also a tough one, we got the Spanish stuff, but there's "DWRY" & "MA" that can't be Spanish, so that part won't have a theme as well. Act 4 is having her playing on the electric guitar, so probably no theme there either... I think the first theme will be a boxing or something along those lines. The second segment looks like it could have an early 80's new york street/dance vibe to it - like the promo tour version of Music - i think that would work really well with the songs in that segment. Third segment is anyones guess - but latin / spanish seems to be what she's aiming for with the song selection. The fourth cant be a guitar section - i dont believe it. There's no way the climax to the show will be M standing there playing the guitar. Ill be surprised if she picks it up for more than a couple of songs (Miles Away / La Isla Bonita / Spanish lesson?) in the entire set. Im confident the entire last part will be a dance fest - while the third segment will serve as her "breather" set! | |

Yeah,I agree with some of your predictions.This is how I see it...
ACT 1---"Boxing"---I can see Madonna dressed up like a boxer for this opening segment  On "Human Nature",she'll actually get in the ring and fight with one of her dancers,who will be playing a tabloid reporter,lol.
ACT 2---"Nostalgia"---this will be the New York/early 80s nightclub segment.Perhaps the stage will be designed to look like Danceteria,the 80s nightclub where she performed back in 1983? This part of the show features "Into The Groove" and "Borderline",two of her biggest hits from that era.And the new songs "Heartbeat" and "She's Not Me" both have an early 80s vibe,as does "Music",which closes this portion of the show.I can't see this segment being anything other than a celebration of early 80s nightclub culture. ACT 3---"Worlds Away"---Notice how "exotic" some of the songs in this segment are...."La Isla Bonita" and "Spanish Lesson" are Latin-flavored songs.Also,"You Must Love Me" is from 'Evita' (Argentina),while the song "Miles Away" deals with a long distance relationship.Didn't we hear a rumor that "La Isla Bonita" would have some type of Indian segment/tribute? I predict there will also be some sort of tribute to Africa in this segment as well. ACT 4---"Apocalypse/Super Hero"---We see video footage of the world coming to an end...it's all doom and gloom.Then we hear the pounding beat of "4 Minutes" and it's up the queen Super Heroine to save the world The song "Ray Of Light" would fit in perfectly with this scenario. | |

I hope she turns 4 minutes into more of a solo song. I didnt like trying to stage it with justin on moving screens - boring. | |

She should just have one of her male bandmembers sing Justin's lines.It would look kinda silly seeing her sing a "duet" to a video screen,lol.
The super hero theme would be cool,ending with the defiant "Give It To Me" which includes lines like "no one's gonna stop me....now!" It all makes sense. | |

The boxing theme would be good for the first act, but we know she's opening with "Candy Shop" and that needs a candy/Willy Wonka theme, no?
The Indian tribute was just a rumour (with songs like "Secret"), "La Isla Bonita" is the Live Earth version, not Bollywood. According to MadonnaTribe, she's picking up the guitar only for "Miles Away" & "Hung Up". But since "Hung Up" is next to last song of the show, the last segment won't really have a concept, I think it's gonna be like the promo show, after all 3 performances from it are there, and "Ray Of Light" will be the album version yet again... | |

I really hope that "Miles Away" isn't some acoustic version with Madonna sitting on a stool.Don't get me wrong,I usually like the acoustic segments of her shows ("Paradise (Not For Me)" was a highlight of the Confessions tour,imo)....but for "Miles Away",I want a louder,powerful version. | |

It is said to be the promo tour version, so no, she won't be sitting, she'll be standing! 
She'll be sitting down for "DWRY" with the piano and then for "You Must Love Me", which is gonna be something like "In This Life" GS, "Gone" DWT or "Drowned World" CT in my opinion. | |

Does anyone know which of the Confessions Tour and RIT dancers will be back?
Sophia and Cloud made quite the impression the last time around. One of the things I like about M's tours is that she gives her dancers time to shine and hence their personality becomes part of the show instead of just "back-up" non-entities.

Yea, Jason I think we'll be seeing again. Cloud is awesome. It'll suck to not see him this time around. I know that Addie Yungmee is on Celine's Taking Chances tour. I have noticed a pattern though. Cloud, Jason, Mihran, and Tamara were all on RIT and then CT. Maybe there's some weird thing with only doing a couple of tours and then moving on to new projects. Cloud and Tamara might be a couple of those I guess. Mihran has his clothing line, Mafia, that's been expected for a while now. Shay, Steve, Sofia, Charmaine and Hypnosis were new for CT weren't they??? Steve, Shay, and Hypnosis were on the promo tour too I think we'll be seeing them and Sofia and Charmaine around again, based on my little observation/theory of a pattern. But I guess we'll just have to wait and find out, along with that damn official setlist. | |

yeah, non of her dancers was around longer than two tours. | |

Tamara was on all 3 tours in fact. On DWT she's the female dancer in "Candy Perfume Girl". | |

oh! haha, I have to admit I only care for her male dancers. My favorite was Gabriel but he died of AIDS in 1995/6! | |

More info from webmaster of Madonna Tribe:
(about the 1st video interlude: ) yes it's the song on American Life that has nothing to do with the rest of the album From what I know the boxing section should be the second one, as the opening video of the section is also about boxing (about the 3rd video interlude: )yes the interlude is another version of Give It 2 Me like the two Sorry in Confessions I've been told that Vogue sounds really nice with the 4 minutes elements tick tock tick tock | |

It's "Die Another Day" indeed. In one interpretation it was just tacked onto the American Life album. It was just a way to describe the song without saying it's actual title.  | |

OK cool! the opening secton should surely be a colorful, candy store theme. forgive me if this observation is weird or unrealistic but RIT promo items and posters featured her in the marie-antionette/rennaissance motif and some CT stuff had her on the horse from like a virgin and this one: 
RIT's opening was the renaissance theme, and Confessions had the equestrian beginning. maybe based on the colorful ads for this S&ST maybe the opening segment will be just as colorful. Heatherette's Richie Rich stated that the costumes are gonna be "bright in color and neon". Sounds it like it would definitely fit
yea, thats just my weird little thing i've noticed  | |

No no, the first interlude is between the 4th and 5th song of the show, and it is "Die Another Day" that introduces the boxing part which starts with the 5th song ("Into The Groove"). As for now there's no opening video, but no info about that yet. pandaman2105 said: maybe based on the colorful ads for this S&ST maybe the opening segment will be just as colorful.

it's teh first time i can't wait for it. I only have the phases in which I like artists. Then it could last a year in which I don't listen to a single note. The last two times it was that way with Madonna. I had no Madonna phase during RIT and CT. But NOW I can't wait! | |

On the ICON messageboard,this is the latest rumored setlist that everyone is talking about.The "insider" who posted it claims that this is the final setlist that is now being rehearsed:
Intro: "Candy Girl" by New Edition Candy Shop Beat Goes On Human Nature (with a sample of Britney's "Gimme More") Vogue Everybody Video Interlude: Die Another Day Into The Groove (with a sample of "Jump") Heartbeat Borderline/Dress You Up She's Not Me Music Interlude Devil (acoustic piano) Miles Away (acoustic guitar) Like A Prayer True Blue Interlude: Rain Spanish Lesson You Must Love Me Buenos Aires/La Isla Bonita Angel Interlude: Secret (a new mix) Holiday (a very brief version that leads into the next song) 4 Minutes Impressive Instant Ray Of Light Hung Up Give It To Me I'm gonna go out on a limb here and predict that this news is mostly true.It's consistent with most of the other rumors we've been hearing from Madonnatribe. | |
