I thought the Rosie performance was good. If i remember correctly. That was the radio version.

That was probably one of her worst. She wasn’t feeling great that day.

How could she? I am listening now and the arrangements are so terrible!

I don’t think the arrangement was bad. Sounds like they added some live elements on top of the album track. The YouTube video certainly has terrible sound quality though, so it muffles A LOT of the song. She did mention the interview that she had a cold though, I believe.

I think the interview with the cold is when she did “Seduces Me” on Rosie?

I havent heard it in a while but i dont ever remember thinking that.

Now Seduces Me on Rosie is terrible simply because she sounds nasally in all the SM performances.  I dont like any of them except maybe the montreal 1996 performance.

I just noticed the Humberto Gatica mix of Im Alive is on Spotify. Has that always been there?  I swear in the US it wasnt.

Celine content at around 20min into the interview.

Gave it a listen, interesting when he talked about how it was written as an 8 bar waltz and he was contacted saying it didn’t work, next thing he knows it was made into a mid tempo track.  Do we know if Celine actually recorded two versions of the song as he kind of implied that she did when I was always under the impression that the original vocals were just altered in studio to suit the faster track.

I think she didn't re recorded... they just speeded up her vocals..

It’s just a remix. Ric Wake just reworked the vocal a bit for the arrangement.

Thanks for reply guys, that’s what I always thought because to be honest the vocals do sound a bit engineered.  

I always loved the song though, both versions actually and would’ve loved to have heard her doing this one live, she never did any time I’ve seen her but I think it’s a song that she’s struggled with unfortunately in her more recent live attempts at it, especially the acoustic medley version from Vegas and the 2018 Asian tour.

she struggled because she didnt learn the second verse of the lyrics

Apparently Madonna is doing a Confession on a dance floor part 2. Would be nice to have a follow up album to ANDHC.

Which version of 'The Greatest Reward' is on the 2008 Japanese Remastered Collector's Edition Re-issue CD? The short version (03:28) or the extended version (4:05)?

It says here that it's the short version, but someone told me that it actually contains the extended version:

That’s probably a mistake from the website, as I remember it includes the long version, which btw remains unavailable on streaming platforms!

I just listened to this Japanese version, and unfortunately it's the normal version (3:28). I think the extended version is only featured on the American Limited Edition (2002).

[actofcontrition]

I'll never understand why the edit that song on the album. Extended version is way better.

I’ve noticed that any time it’s a 16-track disc, they used the extended version vs short one on the 17-track (except the very first original US release)

It’s like they can’t fit it all in one CD

Thanks for the confirmation Davey! Actually, of all the physical releases of ''A New Hay Has Come'', the remastered 2008 North American Collector's Edition (CD+DVD) is the best version of the album, considering that it includes ''The Greatest Reward (Extended Version)'' and that version of the song is not available on any streaming platforms, whereas ''Super Love'' is everywhere.

The 17 tracks is 72 minutes so there is 8 min left for the extended version so i don't think its the reason lol

You are right... Discogs states that the North American Collector's Edition (CD+DVD) has the normal album version. I should have checked that too yesterday... because I listened to that disc just now and it also has the longer version! lol. I will change the info on Discogs!

What editions of this album have Super Love? I have the rerelease from 2008, or at least I think that's what it is. It includes The Greatest Reward extended version. Then I have another copy that just includes the standard 16 songs but The Greatest Reward is shorter. Needless to say I listen to the 2008 re-release more despite being in worse shape.

Basically every release has Super Love on it except for the US and Canadian editions.

What do you mean by worst shape? The 2008 re-release sounds fine to me.

Her socials just posted about the anniversary of this album and got the year wrong. They said it was released in 2001. Imbeciles.

That’s really bad!
