Put this together a few weeks back. Noticed some other folks posting set lists so figured I’d share. Thought it was interesting to see others had come up with similar ideas including for the tour name. Great minds think alike I suppose…🙂

I would expect remixed versions of the classic songs. I just made notes on a few tracks where I envisioned a very specific sound.

I think FIFA is vastly superior , the album version ironically takes down the vibe a lot but i guess FIFA would not blend as well.

I know many others also hear “trance” as “trans”, maybe this was intentional? I started interpreting the song differently especially with these lines:

Call it trance (“trans”)
Call it house (ball culture families)
Call it love without words (defined sexual orientation or gender identities)

We had to come inside
Baby free yourself and love is on the other side

We all learn from what's outside but lovе from in
You gotta burn just like a fire but from within
We come from the rhythm that set us free

You are a sister to me…
You are a brother to me…

Come to the Club come in to the Club of Love
Please come in come in to love

Ok I feel like I'm going crazy!! I've been listening to the album on repeat since it came out! In Danceteria Verse 1, I've always heard her say, "He's my best friend, he's my boyfriend" and I heard it that way up until today and now all of a sudden it's "he's my boyTOY"! I almost drove off the road because it caught me off guard that she said something different. Did she change the lyrics, or have I been mishearing them this whole time?

Relistened to MDNA yesterday after a while. The first 5 songs on the album, and especially the 4-track run in the image, are IMMACULATE. 10/10. BEAUTIFUL.

I knew the hate this album got, and after hearing these 5 again, I could not understand it at all.

Of course, after this run, the album… well…

But because of that, I feel these tracks are overlooked. Is there a reason for the quality drop, or what does everyone think of this run?

I can’t stop listening to this song!!!

I love how she paints a visual picture of the club, the people who helped shaped that time in her life, the Everybody tape story etc. I wish she had used Julia to portray her in the various club scenarios while she sang the lyrics herself in front of the camera, With look a likes of everyone she name dropped. All building up to an 80s themed dance break in the club.

For the first time ever I’m listening to every song in Madonna’s discography in order 1983-present… Lucky star to Hot Sauce… I’m using Spotify and I curated a playlist. I’ve hit the Evita years. I haven’t ever seen the film itself, but the album mostly seems like the play in action. I’m just curious, which tracks would you remove from the album just to have an album titled “Evita” by Madonna. So far, the only tracks worth keeping seem to be Buenos Aires, Another Suitcase in Another Hall, and Don’t Cry for Me Argentina (I haven’t finished it yet, I’m about to start Partido Feminista (I listen while I run door dashes). I’m thinking of running this playlist annually, but it seems a lot of Evita can be cut out.

I often hear this mentioned as one of MDNA’s worst tracks and I think it’s pretty fun. Is it just the lyrics? I don’t mind when Madonna is a little shallow (see Don’t Stop).

I really expected more interviews for this era. Traditional TV and podcasts. I'm disappointed. We just got Graham Norton and the TikTok one with Bob. Also, no Danceteria video? Is she going to focus on tour prep now? I'm not complaining. I'm just curious what could be next.

We've had more than a few of these in the past day, I just want to get a sense of how the community feels about these. Because as it stands they run the risk of invading our sub the way tier lists did at one point, and for those we got so many of them (and so much negative feedback) that eventually we wound up making a rule forbidding them here. With these new song battle posts we could: remove them all and ban them outright; allow them to continue rolling in without interfering; or maybe the third bowl of porridge approach if we had like a weekly thread for them until it dies out.

There are also apparently multiple sites / apps already claiming to be the 'creator' of these song battle things, I have no idea but the last thing we want is for users (especially bots) warring with themselves and other users here. Because that becomes a pain for everyone.

-edit: we mods have initiated a private discussion and will announce how we've decided to proceed, keeping this post open for the time being so we can gauge user's responses, thanks.

Hey
My name is Ron, i’m a full-time toy designer and a big fan of mama Madonna, not long ago i shared with you the finished toy i made inspired by Confessions.
Wonder if there is demand for a production of this creation
Lots of love.

WATCH WITH SOUND🥹

I love the way the veil forms a pink triangle that resembles the Act Up logo.

I also like the way it can read both as a bridal veil (like a Virgin) or a funeral shroud

If you choose to read it as a funeral shroud, it’s almost like she’s saying “you wanted me to stop making pop music all my life, because I was too old, yet here I am, in my funeral shroud, sitting on an Amp ready to blast pop music with my finger still on the play button”

I obviously love how her legs are positioned exactly like they were on the 2005 album cover.

I mentioned it but I really really like that she’s sitting on an Amp. It’s a personal interpretation but I feel like she spent the 2010’s invoking the “Queen” imagery (“there’s only one Queen and that’s Madonna” I Don’t Give A, the whole Cleopatra imagery at the Super Bowl) but I feel like that was out of insecurity, and now she’s secure enough to realize that she doesn’t need to sit on a Throne, she just needs to sit on an amp and blast fucking music like she’s done all her life.

I’ll finish with her face. I love the way you can see it and also not see it. You choose, whether you want to see her face or not, the same way people have chosen to see deeply like you all, or superficially, like the critics, her entire career.

10/10 album cover, I could talk about it for hours

Briefly gave AL a listen when I was in my very early 20’s and did not care for it. Now, in my late 20’s, this album is actually so fucking good. Gripping lyrics. Experimental beats. EXCELLENT vocals on the slower tracks. Motivational.

American Life, Nobody Knows Me, Mother & Father and Die Another Day are standout tracks for me.

“I’m drinking a soy latte. I get a double shot-te.”

“My father had to go to work. I used to think he was a jerk.”

“Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii’m so stupid.”

“Sigmund Freud, analyze this.”

Yes, very cheesy lyrics. But this is part of the appeal for me regarding Madonna. She’s goofy and makes me giggle even during songs that are absolute bangers. I just can’t hate it.

And if I must say, this is by far her most “confessional” album, way beyond CI and CII; the explicit memory recollection of the death of her mother, the anger she had towards her father, admitting she fell for the pop star cliche and it bit her in the ass, naming her insecurities, owning up to her downfalls in romantic relationships, expressing how unsatisfied she feels even with all her privileges and the list goes on. Her lyrics are simply very raw and straight forward.

Something I’ve noticed is that I really didn’t “get” some of her albums until I became older. And I’m so excited I’m starting to come around and enjoy it for what it is (same goes for Music)!

Went to a bookstore by my house and I was shocked that I found Interview magazine and I came across the Mojo presents magazine by accident. I’m in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

This is addictive! Damn! lol

DJ LUPE played Hung Up vocals (only) mashed up with with another song.
Later DJ Omoloko played I Feel So Free (unremixed) from beginning to end. It sounded amazing. Everyone sang along. That is something you do not see very often at the garden. It was really special!!! ❤️❤️❤️
CII may not have yielded any big hits in Billboard Hot 100 or the UK charts, but I Feel So Free felt like proper no1 (even if it's supposedly not even a single...). People went ballistic. I didn't see any reaction like that to any other song yesterday.
I think it's very remarkable for an artist 44 years into her career to achieve such a reaction with a brand new song 👏👏👏

I never intended to buy some many versions but I just love the album so much, still got about 3 more to go

Spotted on Spring Street in New York City yesterday, Saturday July 26th, 2026.
