I'm so excited to re-live this! Sick of horrid youtube cam-vids, really for the slayage delivered to us as god (Madonna) intended.

Ugh that boot camp video makes it all look so unenjoyable and rough though - those rehearsals and the stress to get selected must be extreme. I was also annoyed Sohey Sugihara - one of the sexiest men ALIVE - was not featured in that vid.

I low key think he had a lot more fun working with Britney due to him often posting about her quite a bit - but NEVER about Madonna. I bet she's horrible to work with.

After so much speculation of what the show will be, and misleading or vague information from articles I'm wondering what the end result will be. We know it'll be the full show and then some bts stuff thrown in, but some have mentioned Who's That Girl and Don't Tell Me both of which weren't done in Sydney.

Does it work on Xbox or for online streaming on a computer?

I hope you're joking, but it's sad there has to be a joke and there has to be a "disease" to be attracted to a stunningly, muscular, stylish and adorable Asian man. Casual racism ain't cute.

KING remains unbothered.

Madonna's Stylist Arianne Phillips Opens Up About Working With the Icon for Nearly 20 Years



Arianne Phillips is the Academy Award-nominated costume designer behind Walk the Line and A Single Man. Yet it is the nearly 20 years she has spent working as a stylist to Madonna, spanning countless TV and red carpet appearances and six tours, including the 2016 Rebel Heart Tour, for which the 53-year-old is best known. Phillips, who cites the 1998 “Frozen” video, the 2000 “Don’t Tell Me” video and the 1998 VH1 Fashion Awards as three of her favorite style moments, says that working with Madonna is both rewarding and challenging: ”She’s an artist who’s seen by the world.”

Walk us through the process of putting together Madonna’s tour wardrobe.
Madonna and I usually start talking four to five months before a tour. I work with a big crew -- just the prep side alone can reach 25 people -- because it’s not just Madonna. There are also 20 dancers, two backup singers, a band and often she has specialty performers.

How do you collaborate with fashion designers, like Gucci’s Alessandro Michele, who worked on the Rebel Heart Tour looks?
It can be challenging because the looks have to sustain the brutalities of dancing and sweating and moving every night, along with quick changes. Ninety percent of the time the costumes are not show-worthy, so what we do is rebuild them from the inside out, so they have the integrity and the look designers are trying to achieve.

Each look on Rebel Heart exudes power, as many of her looks have through the decades. Is “power” something you both consistently try to express?
Mostly what Madonna ends up wearing is an evolution of what is relevant at the time. I would say Madonna is a strong female artist who is attracted to just those things. The visuals reflect the music in a kind of seamless marriage of her point of view.

Madonna has been the target of some criticism about dressing appropriately for her age. Have you adjusted your approach to dressing her in her 50s?
It’s sexist and ridiculous, and has no bearing for me. Madonna has an incredible amount of integrity as an artist. She doesn’t invest in what people think of her, and that is the most liberating thing.

Taken from someone who's says as a journalist they have seen the digital copy so take it as you wish:

Hey all! So I'm a part time journalist and received a digital copy of the Rebel Heart Tour from Showtime to review it. Wanted to share a few things about it because i know everyone's been wondering:

-The editing is very similar to the last 3 tour DVDs (with that matte finish and a lot of quick edits/slowed down effects that she loves doing and overlaying the background screens over what's going on on stage). Deeper and Deeper was edited especially poorly I thought (and the best were ones with not a lot going on behind or around her, like True Blue).

-The vocals were retouched a bit but nothing too crazy like Sticky and Sweet. I noticed that were also a lot more crowd shots also which I haven't noticed in many of her DVDs before, so I thought that was kind of cool.

-There is no behind the scenes footage except the very beginning (that clip was already released) and during the credits (and one spot in the middle that I'll get to below). During the credits the behind the scenes stuff is overlaid over Madonna's "If I Had A Hammer" cover.

-Love Don't Live Here Anymore was cut out of Heartbreak City (hopefully it was just cut for broadcast and it will be on the DVD).

-Lucky Star was cut out of the Dress You Up medley (but Into The Groove wasn't). Again, hopefully this was just for the broadcast version.

-There were no songs in between the Dress You Up medley and Rebel Heart (meaning both Like A Prayer AND Take A Bow were cut, if I remember correctly what she sang for these shows). Also hoping these will be on the DVD. Instead, after the medley, she segways from a speech about Detroit to a behind the scenes shot of her talking about Detroit with her dancers in their prayer circle and then a little footage of when she went to the boxing club there.

-All interludes are there completely (including the one in between La Isla Bonita and Dress You Up) as well as many of Madonna's spoken interludes, such as the bouquet bit after Material Girl, the dancer's abs stuff after Body Shop and the cigarette/Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend bit after La Vie En Rose). One kind of weird cut was she had the maraca thing with the dancers having to catch them but not the spoken part about them having to get spanked if they don't. They put cameras on the dancers during "Illuminati" so it was kind of cool seeing those shots spliced in. I thought it was kind of weird to keep all this though but cut songs, I'd rather the opposite.

-For some songs, you can tell they spliced different performances together because she's wearing different outfits in them (most notably in Like A Virgin and Rebel Heart, but this wasn't the case for most of them, i.e. she has only one outfit throughout Deeper and Deeper).

-The "unapologetic bitch" is a compilation of many of them, mostly the celebrity ones (i.e. Ariana Grande, Amy Schumer, Katy Perry, Anderson Cooper, etc). There a few fans but not a lot and mostly drag queen ones. The song is extended at the end to show everyone's reactions to the bananas (through quick edits though).

All in all I thought it was pretty solid (especially if the DVD hopefully includes the stuff that was missing, I just found the choices of what to cut for this broadcast questionable). And the editing was a bit annoying/a bit much, but not quite as bad as MDNA or Sticky and Sweet I thought (although pretty similar)

Ok Madonna

[retromaury]

she did say she edited 2 versions, one for the broadcast and another one for the dvd so that part has already been confirmed by her.

[Reinvention]

Ugh please don't be a mess. I'm stressed.
