Dress Her Up
Sketches for Sticky & Sweet reveal some interesting looks, such as:
...this very pretty mod look, reminiscent of her 1992 Italian Vogue cover shoot. I love it (there are those boots again), but wonder how easily she'll be able to run around on stage. Very runway, not so much catwalk!
...this homage to her rain-soaked flights to and from the Kabbalah center in NYC! I like the colors and she looks like she'll be ready to "Jump." Fab Lolita glasses.
...this Bride of Satan number! Will the headlines read "Monastic Girl?" Or "Lots Of Material Girl?" This begs for "Oh Father" to be sung, but that will be next tour.
Already confirmed (Madonnatribe is as confirmed as it gets) is the final setlist:
Intro/Candy Shop
Beat Goes On
Human Nature
Vogue
Video Interlude - Die Another Day
Into The Groove
Heartbeat
Borderline
She's Not Me
Music
Video Interlude - Rain/Here Comes The Rain Again
Devil Wouldn't Recognize You
Spanish Lesson
Miles Away
La Isla Bonita/Lela Pala Tute
Doli Doli (Live interlude - Romanian folk song)
You Must Love Me
Video Interlude - Get Stupid (About saving the planet)
4 Minutes
Like A Prayer
Ray Of Light
Hung Up
Give It To Me (Finale)
The first, second (especially) and final sections look relentless!
I just hope the ray of light and hung up versions she does are more dance than metal slash. Getting tired of the ac/dc thing....
Other than that i have little complaints. Should be awesome.

Nooo! I love a little rock. I like dance music but you need variety or it's boring.
I heard she is dong a rock/ska version of Borderline sort of like No Doubt.

Glad to see Rain was added - in whatever capacity - and Impressive Instant removed. Is the Britney thing still in? Doesn't look like it. I thought I heard somewhere that she hated it...

I'm guessing hard candy raining on the audience during the finale instead of confetti or balloons...

Do you think she would accept if we offer to pay each a premium of over 20% over the ticket price, in exchange for her not doing "La Isla Bonita" for at least three more tours starting with this one?

Heartbeat, then Borderline, then She's Not Me.
Somebody please bring me a cleanup rag.

I like the rock, too, though I like the idea of rock/ska just to be different from the recent string of simple pop-to-rock transformations she's done (I liked those versions, just would like the next rocky thing to not be the same).
I like "Rain," too. Great, overlooked song. I'm not sure if Britney is in. Kind of mean to have her film it then cut it, but oh, well.
Yes, Jason, and you'll catch some, I have no doubt.
Maybe, Cristian...I'm in!
Chiko: I totally agree. What an insane set!

I'm sorry, but that second sketch just screams Unabomber-meets-modern-Disney-princess.

Isn't the first costume just her outfit from Give it To Me? I see no difference:
