I think off the amazing Stuart Price remakes for the Confessions tour, there was only a quality studio version of Erotica, which, nevertheless, didn't have an official release. He made also great remakes for Like a virgin and La isla bonita, I loved them. This Candy shop remake is actually almost as good! I wished she would release it.

By the way, I've been seeing some performances and, while I'm pretty excited by some, others are annoyning me for the playback. She's been singing some of the songs, like Candy Shop or Like a Prayer, but the playback in some others like Celebration and Gang Bang (c'mon, this song is not even sunged, it's almost talked) are VERY annoying!! Why the hell she can think of these hundreds of things for the tour and it doesn't occur her to avoid this terrible tapes - which break very much the charm of a LIVE show, FGS - !! Of course I'd very much prefer she'd try to sing all the concert - and I know she can: think of the Girlie Show and Blonde Ambition tours - . But, if she MUST do all these dances, at least hire back singers and forget these damn tapes!!!

I like the looks. It's kind of Faster Pussycat meets Brigitte Bardot. I hope she makes lots of videos for this album, like was the case for the Erotica or the Ray of Light albums. For the past 4 albums she's been doing only 2 or 3 videos per album. For MDNA, as she's releasing as the three first singles three WEAK songs, I hope she realizes she should promote the good songs after some time, with amazing videos.

Also, a nice remix would be very welcome for this song. It sounds too childish and gets easily boring. I hate the bridge ("Don't have a choice 'cause the temperature is pounding etc"). From what I heard from the tour, the sole insertion of guitar riffs made it more interesenting. And, live, she is singing it more roughly, not in that irritating perfectly sharp tone of the record version.

Look at little Rocco go! At about the 5 min mark. Too cute.

I thought they were just doing tour video for TUTR

Thank God they aren't. And hope God she'll make videos for other songs, the really good ones on the album too. It's needed!

Does anybody know the name of this Candy Shop remix? It's the first time a Hard Candy song other than She's Not Me actually sounds like Madonna.

I only wished her boyfriend was dancing in heels and panties as the other men on stage. It would make it more interesting since Madonna is in men's clothes.

It's not an actual remix just a re-arranged live version. Would be great if it was released at some point. It's funky!

It's actually taken (well, part of it's) from a song by Kelley Polar called "Ashamed of Myself"...

I like the mash-up. It works nicely.

WOW, U r right!! Do you know if it can be found a mash-up of these two songs other than just the live performed version?

^ I don't think there's a mash-up, unfortunately.

Maybe a fan will create one. Hopefully.

Just 6 days till I see the MDNA Tour live!!! I'll be in Berlin for 2 shows next week. can't wait! I'm curious how the show will be LIVE. Of course I've seen some videos and pictures but nothing can beat that live experience!
