My full “reInvention” tour experience and report.

The Beast Within – even though Madonna isn’t in this, the video is really quite scary and very artsy. It’s very innovative, and quite frightening. Everyone in the audience was a bit disturbed (in a good way) by this song. It’s just a video though that leads to her entrance.

Vogue – awesome entrance, and incredible choreography. It was really good, and the overall presentation was fantastic. She looked beautiful, and this costume was beautiful as well.

Nobody Knows me – she sings this alone but danced along the stage. It was a good performance.

Frozen – a bit dull. She sings it alone in front of a mic. Nothing too exciting.

American life – the best performance of all. A major production. Choreography, and a lot of things going on. Very lively and energetic. This is the song that will be most memorable of all of them from this show. At one point she dances on a platform that hangs over the entire bottom floor of audience members. This was, by far, the best song in terms of performance. Very spectacular.

Express Yourself – Incredible. Great choreography with the rifles. Very fun, and incredibley done. One of the better performances as well.

Burning Up – this was cool because it was done in a heavy metal theme. She plays the guitar and just sings this alone on stage.

Material Girl – done in the similar fashion as Burning Up. Rock version, it was alright. Nothing great about this one.

Hollywood – she didn’t sing it. WHAT HAPPENED? Don’t have an idea but this song wasn’t sung even though it’s in the official set list. And we were all excited about this song.

Hanky panky – this was fun, very circus like. She dances like in Chicago musical. Very fun and entertaining.

Deeper and Deeper – done as a slow song, but it was rather good.

Die Another Day – disappointing. Such a good song, with such mediocre choreography.

Lament – this is interesting, she gets placed on the electric chair, but she doesn’t really get electrocuted like we thought she would. At least not in this show.

Bedtime Story – this is a video interlude and it is soooooo good. She looks BEAUTIFUl in this video. Incredible. It’s a great video she did for this. All in white with a beautiful white horse running through the desert.

Nothing fails – disappointing. She just sings in in front of a mic and her guitar.

Don’t tell me – by far the most disappointing of all. It’s the EXACT same choreography as the Drowned World tour. EXACTLY the same. only difference? She gives it a French theme.

Like A Prayer – no choreography for this, but it was good because it had a video of many people singing this song, and it was moving and touching. It was a fun moment in the show.

Mother and Father – a religious point. Many Jesus Christ images on the screens. Very religious, and very Catholic. She sings this by guitar and it was actually very good. Nothing spectacular though.

Imagine – the most touching and sentimental part of the show. She has every one in tears. Beautiful rendition and the video images are sad and depressing. Images of poverty, war, and famine around the world. This was a key moment of the show.

Into The Groove – bagpipe man enters, and they do choreography with sticks. Though the costume is poor in originality, the choreography and performance is excellent.

Papa Don’t preach – cute choreography, and well done. Nothing spectacular though.

Crazy For You – she dedicates this to her fans. Sings it beautifully by herself. Nice performance.

Music – very visual, and fun to dance to and what not. Cool choreography. Nothing spectacular, but pretty cool.

Holiday – the finale, and what a good one. Confetti is thrown throughout the entire stadium, and the choreography is good. It is actually a rather short exit song. The show ends with a screen saying: Reinvent yourself.

Better than Drowned World? Depends. Better song set list, better choreography. Drowned World Tour had better costumes, and Sky Fits Heaven is still incredibly untouchable and unbeatable. She could probably never top that performance. She sang GREAT. Her voice sounded incredible. If people like this show better, it’s not by a long shot. Many liked Drowned World better. This one is longer though. And there are many videos throughout this concert that Drowned World didn’t have. I liked it a bit better then drowned world, but not by a lot. It was a very close call. I did expecta bit more, but maybe that was just 2 months of anticipation building up. Overall, it was a GREAT show. Well done, and great production. The best? American life, Vogue, and Express yourself, Imagine.
