according to one of the fansites,these are some songs that will definitely be in the setlist and are being rehearsed as we speak:

S.E.X.

Dress You up

my thoughts....

*I like the fact that classics like "Into The Groove","Dress You Up" and "Deeper And Deeper" are included

*"Love Don't Live Here Anymore" is an odd choice,but I bet it'll be part of some kind of medley with "Heartbreak City".She should also consider "Take A Bow",too.

*"Who's That Girl" will be great,but I hope "Causing A Commotion" makes the setlist,too.

*"La Isla Bonita" is always fun to hear,but I hope it's not like the chaotic version she performed on the S&S tour.

If I hear classics like 'Who's That Girl' or 'La Isla Bonita' live, I really hope she keeps the arrangments pretty true to the original, like she did with 'Vogue' on the MDNA Tour.

I agree.I know she likes to "reinvent" songs and change the music in a drastic way,but I'd rather hear the songs the way I remember them.I was so disappointed with "Like A Virgin" on the MDNA tour.I don't wanna hear a fun,catchy pop tune turned into a boring,draggy ballad

Hmmm looks a little too heavy on the Rebel Heart side...i know its all speculation but saying these make the cute...here's my 2 cents on the tracks.

-

S.E.X. -- Trash! It shouldnt even be an album track imo.

-

Holy Water -- fun track with an obvious lead into either Vogue or Deeper & Deeper

Unapologetic Bitch -- Trash again. Really dislike this track, it feels like it could be fun but never gets over the line.

Like a Virgin -- Only liked the confessions version of this, it was HOT! Blonde Ambitions was OK, saved by the performance only. She has butchered it live on The Girlie Show & MDNA tour, so im nervous about what she does to it...

Into the Groove -- Brilliant! Just dont Re-Invention tour it! However, Causin' A Commotion would be more welcome by fans i think at this point? Why can't we have both!

Devil Pray -- Great song, cant wait to see it live!

La Isla Bonita -- Maybe this track needs a rest live, however if its included i hope its more inline with the Confessions tour/Girlie Show versions...the Drownded World Tour version is horrid...

Justify my Love -- YES! Always welcome! She's always done this song well.

HeartBreakCity -- Meh album filler, I guess this will be part of the "dull" part of the show with the guitar..?

Love Don’t Live Here Anymore -- VERY strange choice! Out of left field! Not sure how many will recognize it, and it will need extensive re-working to make it pop live....can we not have Crazy For You/Look Of Love/PowerOfGoodbye/You'llSee/TakeABow instead??

-
Body Shop -- Im a big fan of this track so im bias, im excited to see it live!

-

Who’s That Girl -- YES PLEASE! I hope this is true, i really do! It would work well as a segue into LaIslaBonita or even What It Feels Like For a Girl (Spanish version)

-

Deeper and Deeper -- YES PLEASE! Classic! Just steer clear of the Re-Invention tour version..blergh

-

True Blue -- YES PLEASE! Always wanted to see this live! Such an underrated classic!

-

Dress You up -- YES PLEASE! Its been called for by fans for so long its ridiculous! I'd love to see it!

imo!

feels like this track just goes nowhere. i can barely recall what it sounds like unless its playing lol

Those are the songs she has mentioned on her instagram. So I guess they just took those songs from there, rather than having some inside independent information.

I think it's interesting how she reinvents the older songs. That's something I look forward to, what she does with them.

I'll Remember!! That's possibly my favorite song of hers, at least from the 90's. If I can hear that just once live, I will be a satisfied fan. Who's That Girl has always shared some similarities with La Isla Bonita, and I can see them working together in a show quite well.

The ironic thing is I think she rearranges them for folks that always see her tours so it is fresh to the show.

LOL! Did u remember 2 lock the door when u got home so the dog doesn't get out? <3

Beautiful Scars is a beautiful song, great the beat uptempo with Livin For Love, it has a very 70's sound and feeling, it´s great.

I think it's one of best songs she's ever done! Great lyrics,great vocals,great disco arrangement!!

it must be a single

What do you guys think will be the themes for this tour? Every Madonna tour has their own set of themes...usually,four different sections.....

For this tour,I could see her doing an Armageddon (end of the world) theme.Yeah,I know it sounds bleak and depressing,but consider the songs that could be used for this segment:

"Ghosttown"

"Wash All Over Me"

then,she could liven things up by doing these songs:

"Hold Tight"

"4 Minutes" (the "four minutes to save the world" theme would work well in this segment)

and then finally,this segment could conclude with "Ray Of Light" (a celebratory song in which she discovers that life will go on)...

I feel like I just got home,and I feel.....

I think this would work well as the second act of the show.

and now I'm thinking about the first section.....what should the theme be?

Out of all the Rebel Heart tracks,I think "Iconic" would be the best opener.So maybe the first section can be about superstardom/fame/believing in yourself?

ACT 1---

*Iconic (mixed with a little bit of "Spotlight")

*Bitch I'm Madonna (I think it's a safe bet that this will be the second song in the show)

*Illuminati (this should be a dark,compelling performance that deals with rumors about fame and the illuminati and the everything-is-not-what-it-seems idea,which seems to be a recurring theme in her music)

*Drowned World/Substitute For Love

*Rebel Heart (although this song would probably work better in the 4th section,I couldn't resist putting it here in the first section)

dayum!! I guess that's what he deserves.You don't mess with the Queen of Pop,lol

it's actually 14 months,not years

Shit, leave it to me to type from memory instead of looking it up again.

I'm finding some nice tracks in MDNA these days. I hated it when it first came out. I liked 3 tracks:

Gang Bang

Masterpiece

I'm a Sinner

Bad singles? I don't know, but now I'm in the process of rescueing some other nice songs:

I'm Addicted

Love Spent

Falling Free

Beautiful Killer

I Fucked Up

"Falling Free" is the gem of that album.Even Madonna herself said that she wishes it had been a single.

So why wasn't it? I guess she's not in control of everything.

.

I'll try to make a Hard MDNA... Those albums have been difficult for me.

Rebel Heart was the kind of album I was expecting after American Life...

I'm happy to have bought it. With the number of outtakes floating out there, we could have a disc 3...

Confessions was not bad at all, though.

I'm gonna work on that Hard MDNA comp.

In recent years,the emphasis seems to be on her uptempo dance tracks.I was pleasantly surprised that "Ghosstown" was released as a single.Her ballads of recent years have gotten better and better,imo.

Unlike the production and the hooks the lyrics are kind of sad and reflective, unlike the melodies, an undertone of sadness and nostalgia, well that´s always been a part of her music really

"Falling Free"

it sounds so much like a Ray of Light track, sounds similar to Mer Girl, great songs both of them
