Madonna hates AL, is ashamed and embarrased by AL. And coz RIT was full of AL, it will never get released. Madonna would be glad if AL will be forgotten completely in the future.

graecophilos said:

Not true. She edited I'm Going To Tell You A Secret to make it seem RIT was an AL tour, same for the live CD, she ignored most of the classics but almost every AL track got included.

I'm sure she considers the AL video as something never happened, after all, it was never shown in most countries. If it ever gets officially released, it'll be on the RIT DVD as a bonus backdrop video, otherwise this will remain "unreleased" like the Holiday video, just that you can find it online.

Just that we had false hopes about it being released sometime later, but there were no signs for Madonna changing her mind at all. It was meant to be on IMGTTYAS DVD but didn't happen in the end.

If Madonna was embarrassed by the whole AL project, we would not be getting Hollywood on both the CD and DVD. But Warner is probably embarrassed by AL the single and that's why Hollywood was chosen.

Yeah, I was just being provocative.

graecophilos said:

Then it's OK.

It's weird to see fans' reactions on other boards, like "Madonna has no balls anymore" just because she will never release AL video. It is one of my favs, but because of the effects and she looks so great it in, but not because of its "message" which is hardly as strong as LTT on CT or Get Stupid on current tour.

The "Celebration Video Collection DVD" will include unedited and never before seen footage of "Justify My Love" along with 27 Madonna videos to be released on a DVD compilation "for the very first time",including "Into The Groove" and "Give It 2 Me" as well as the just-completed video of Madonna's new single "Celebration".

Bad Girl?

what the eff? no unedited AL video? where's the Fever video? Bad Girl? Both belong on here - and she had the nerve to include the crap videos for Jump, Get Together and Miles Away on here? Dang...Madonna! QUALITY CONTROL! YOUVE BEEN LACKING IT FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS NOW

Personally I LOVE get together, that and Like a prayer are the only ones I have on my Ipod.

SoulAlive said:

I can't even fathom leaving out "Oh Father" or "Bad Girl", her two greatest videos, in my opinion. What a farce!

badujunkie said:

I was starting to claim down about this but when you see a half hearted video like "Jump" (at least from Madonna's standpoint....what is the reason for her being on that tiny and very busy soundstage), it really makes you think that she's lost her damn mind!

BTW, you know that it's been reported that Madonna was booed in some country for defending gypsies....I think the real reason is because of the leaked tracklists!

Reinvention - oye, she almost had it with this one! The AL songs she used, though, didn't help matters (except Nobody Knows Me), esp that god awful acoustic 'rap' in Mother and father. Die Another Day was hated by many, then followed by the LAMENT of EVITA? it's supposed to be a Greatest Hits show!!! No Like A Virgin here - but oh, good, LAMENT made the evening. As did .... "Imagine?!?!?!?"

Confessions Tour - ok, ok, i love Confessions and all, it was a great record on wax - but LIVE. we did not need ten prerecorded tracks off that record - too many album tracks in a row in every section.

GHV2 - mess. NO new tracks and the ballad version of DCFMA made the cut????!?!?!?! Shit, YMLM is better!

New teaser..

VinnyM27 said:

the only time madonna ever got it right as far as tracklisting for a GH or a setlist for a tour was BLOND AMBITION. that setlist was SUPERB - good mix of her last studio album (LAP), her new studio release (Im Breathless), and classic hits, plus fan faves (Keep it Together, Where's the Party). Yes, Burning Up would have been a welcome addition - but other than that it was SPOT ON.

Then

Immaculate Collection lacks Who's That Girl, Causin A Commotion, Dress You Up

Girlie Show had I'm Going Bananas?!?!?! But she left out Bad Girl? Huh? And it could have used one or two more classic oldies.

Something To Remember - overall FANTASTIC collection, but could have used The Look of Love, Love Tried to Welcome me, etc

Video Collection 93:99 left out the brilliant Erotica video, Deeper and Deeper, I'll Remember, You'll See but included that god awful Love Don't Live Here Anymore piece

Drowned World - only TWO eighties songs?!?!?! First Madonna tour in 8 years?!?! You mean she couldn't have thrown in Gambler in the punk section, Borderline as an acoustic after I deserve it or - shit, even Jimmy Jimmy would have upped the nostalgia excitement!

GHV2 - mess. NO new tracks and the ballad version of DCFMA made the cut????!?!?!?! Shit, YMLM is better!

Remixed and Revisited - really needed to be beefed up with some extra shit.

Reinvention - oye, she almost had it with this one! The AL songs she used, though, didn't help matters (except Nobody Knows Me), esp that god awful acoustic 'rap' in Mother and father. Die Another Day was hated by many, then followed by the LAMENT of EVITA? it's supposed to be a Greatest Hits show!!! No Like A Virgin here - but oh, good, LAMENT made the evening. As did .... "Imagine?!?!?!?"

Confessions Tour - ok, ok, i love Confessions and all, it was a great record on wax - but LIVE. we did not need ten prerecorded tracks off that record - too many album tracks in a row in every section.

Sticky & Sweet - ditto confessions - and The Devil Wouldn't Recognize you was the centerpiece of the show. REALLY!?

Celebration - no deeper and deeper, no rain, no you'll see, no I want you, no gambler, no Angel...goes on and on.

Celebration DVD - really could throw in one or two classic live performances and scrape that garbage "Jump" video (great song tho) and could give the fans AT LEAST the original AL.

Tortilla said:

second best so far.

IT's straight from the video, right?

Some fans are already complaining and calling M's scenes "GI2M and Jump Part 2" which means nothing positive.

graecophilos said:

Yeah, it's from the video.

You can't please them all. I like It when she pumps! Plus, the hair fits.

We all know it was billed as a greatest hits show to move tickets. it never was intended to be that though it was the only tour to feature songs from every studio album.

ehuffnsd said:

I really cant remember the RIT ever being billed as a greatest hits tour but if it was it was accurate. in spite of how heavy it was loaded with AL, it was the antithesis to the dour drowned world tour....tracks from every album...no pathetic ham fisted atempt at a recurring narrative.

I think mother and father is a highly underrated track in her catalogue, but i agree no one needed her cover of Imagine.

LiveToTell86 said:

the message is useless, unless you're Paul McCartney or some other member of the billionaire's club.

Is Madonna lamenting about her bodyguard or five, her trainer and a butler etc?

Us ordinary people will never live that life, so M doesn't need to tell us how crap it is.

Stars moarning bout their wealth and fame annoy me

graecophilos said:

the message was surely that aspiring to these material things wont bring you happiness....not i hate my life ...pity me. i hate the way people dismiss celebrities for what they say on the grounds that they're not qualified. since when in the free world are people not qualified to have an opinion??? madonna is never gonna make sense in an intellectual respect.....just as politicians dont.....its too easy to hold their faults against them, but i do believe people are too quick to accuse her of preaching and arrogance, when she is simply trying to convey a simple message of good and pure intent.
