great for the general public.decent tracklisting though.
as for more 'hardcore' fans, we know it can always be better. at least Who's That Girl wasn't ignored.

i've got to keep reminding myself it's a HITS collection. not a SINGLES collection.

I found this info on a Madonna fansite,I wonder if it's legit? Cool tracklist,but I wish they would finally include "Causing A Commotion" on one of her compilations.

kind of a cool cover concept here.

yeah.and what's up with no "You Must Love Me"


ok. i guess we could let that one slide.

and no "Drowned World" ?

ok let me stop.

StarCat said:

Yeah she's got alot of songs that are important to her catalog,even if they weren't big singles.In addition to "Drowned World/Substitute For Love",I would have to consider songs like "Everybody","Burning Up","Cherish","Keep It Together" and even "Sidewalk Talk"

Iconography has been denied by MadonnaTribe and they hinted at the GH not coming in September, because that would be the tour DVD month. The track list is most likely another in a long list of fabrications...

SoulAlive said:

Confirmed or more speculation? Seems to soon.

SoulAlive said:

"Drowned World" makes more sense over "Nothing Really Matters", which was a massive bomb in the US (I think peaked at 93!). Also, why "Fever"? "Rain" or "This Used To Be My Playground" both make more sense.

LiveToTell86 said:

Yeah....I doubt it would be that good. I think she'll do a 2 disc set...maybe even one only filled with what she likes (so no "Who's That Girl" or "This Used To Be My Playground").

LiveToTell86 said:

Too bad.I was starting to get used to that tracklist

It won't be coming out in September,huh? I am tired of these delays.They should release a single right now,then put the entire set in stores in late September! I see nothing wrong with releasing it around the same time as the S&S DVD.If they were smart,they would package the CD set and DVD together,and watch the fans rush out to buy it.

SoulAlive said:

I agree but they are released by 2 different labels and it seems they don't wanna work together like that or something.

Once again MTribe webmaster says it today that Iconography is not the title. They also say on forum that "Frozen" definitely replaced "Hung Up" in the show and Madonna found a way to pay tribute to MJ in the concert.

LiveToTell86 said:

isn't Sticky and Sweet on WB?

^Nope, it's a Live Nation release, but we don't know the distributor.

Check www.madonna.com for a fantastic DVD preview! Now THAT is the greatest show on Earth!

LiveToTell86 said:

wow

We're almost there!! The Sticky and Sweet Tour 2009 is just a day away and to build up excitement MadonnaTribe would like to share some more exclusive news we have heard buzzing around.
During these weeks apparently nothing has changed in the new rock version of Dress You Up that replaces Heartbeat. The My Sharona inspired arrangement is still there and it's really good.

On the Holiday front instead there are some changes. As previously reported exclusively here the song already contained vocal lines and music samples of Everybody (Dance and Sing Get Up And Do Your Thing) and the new track Celebrate but now as a homage to the late Michael Jackson, Madonna has been rehearsing the song with a whole middle part of MJ music in it.

There's the famous "Billie Jean" drum beat and the "Wanna Be Starting Something" hook (the "Mama-se, mama-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa" stuff).
Totally a dance number perfect for the 80's part of the show!! Fans will love it!

Speaking about the latest new entry, Frozen, that replaces Hung Up, we are told is a upbeat number with the hook of the Calvin Harris' song "I'm Not Alone" in the middle.

But the great surprise is that the new Frozen also contains parts of another great Madonna classic from the 80's, "Open Your Heart", a song that was rehearsed for the first part of this tour but that didn't make the final setlist replaced by Doli Doli.
The song now gets its revenge!

As for the video backdrop for Frozen they are using video outtakes from the original video by Chris Cunningham from 1998, re edited in a great new way!

The show will also have some other great surprises, we wish everyone who attends the first show in London tomorrow night a great fun and don't forget to check MadonnaTribe, home of Madonna fans, for the first after show reports!

Too bad OYH is gonna be wasted again for a small snippet.

The WBSS sample inclusion was inspired by Rihanna most likely, last year she said it was her current favourites.

Supposedly there are several new costumes in the show.

well, if this fake MJ was necessary?

Fake MJ....bad taste. The image behind her set behind approriate music is more like it.

Madonna plans Jackson tribute at London show
Madonna will perform a special tribute to Michael Jackson during her London show on Saturday, at the venue where he was due to stage his farewell shows, she said in a newspaper interview.
Madonna - known as the Queen of Pop, while Jackson was the King of Pop - told the Sun newspaper she was 'terribly sad' about Jackson's death and revealed she 'used to love picking his brains about musical stuff'.
She is playing London's O2 Arena Saturday and will feature extracts from Jackson's songs 'Billie Jean' and 'Wanna Be Startin' Something' plus pictures of the star, who died last week, the paper said.
Madonna and her dancers will also wear single white gloves - one of Jackson's most famous wardrobe accessories - during a finale of her hit 'Give It 2 Me'.
Jackson had been due to play some 50 sellout shows entitled 'This Is It' at the O2 venue starting this month.
'I am so terribly sad about Michael Jackson's death,' Madonna said in the interview. 'I don't know what artist wasn't inspired by him.'
'To be able to do what he did at such an early age was unearthly, everybody grew up in awe of him. To work with him and become friends and hang out with him was exciting for me.'
'I used to love picking his brains about musical stuff.'
Madonna said that before Jackson died, she had offered to do a duet with him at the O2 shows. 'I don't know what we could have done together, I could have carried his bags for him maybe,' she said.

The Material Girl Project
Madonna's new clothing collection is for 'seven-year-olds to 77-year-olds'.
The 50-year-old popstar is teaming up with French fashion designer Christian Audigier - who has an eponymous label and is also behind the Von Dutch and Ed Hardy labels - on a new range, and is determined to make it suitable for all age groups.
Christian told BANG Showbiz: 'Madonna and I are working on a new project called The Material Girl Project and I'm going to be a partner with her on it.'
'It's going to come out, in September, when it's back to school time. So we are working on different designs and samples right now, so we're going to have most of that done at the end of the summer. It's going to be for everyone, all ages. We're going for everyone, from seven-year-olds to 77-year-olds. We're not excluding anybody.'
Christian - who is currently in London to launch his new range of champagne and wines - has been thrilled with the way the '4 Minutes' singer has thrown herself into the collaboration, claiming she is full of ideas and has a clear vision for the line.
He explained: 'Madonna is a good choice because she comes into it a total pro. If I need to listen to music, then I go and see Madonna because she is the best, so this is the same thing.'
'Does she have loads of ideas? Oh, of course. I had a meeting a month ago with her and she is really all about the detail. She knows exactly what she likes and is always proposing ideas to us. After that she decides whether she wants to add shoes or other things. She's like me, when it's a, 'Yes,' it's a big, 'Yes.' When it's a, 'No,' it's a definite, 'No!' I like people like that, a lot of people are really critical but never give a solution. She is not like that.'

There was a dress rehearsal yesterday that was attended by 200 people, and now we know the rest of the costumes were the same. Also, it sees "Ray Of Light" is the penultimate song now.

Surprisingly, no details leaked about the "Celebrate" snippet...

LiveToTell86 said:

Wasn't it replaced by the MJ middle?

Otherwise Holiday would be mixed with Everbdy, Celebrate, Billie Jean and WBSS... too much imo.

^As far as I know, "Celebrate" was one or two lines sung by Madonna, it could still appear before the MJ thing. "Everybody" is just a vocoder playing the "Dance and sing" part...

LiveToTell86 said:

that's gonna be GREAT! I hope they include this footage on the DVD...maybe it could be "bonus footage"...clips from the 2009 leg of the tour.
