I saw the concert on Sat night in NJ. For those who don't have tickets...don't worry...it sucked. (or buy them at a discount on StubHub which my friend just did for $30 a ticket)
The 8pm show started promptly at 9:30pm (no opening act). It certainly didn't take Rosie that long to make it to the rail in the first row.
The animations from the start were exciting. The way the screens opened up to reveal Madonna were exciting...and then - her face appeared on the screen. OMG I guess she didn't consult with the camera man who shot Lucille Ball in Mame...wet paper bag Madonna...you need to consider shooting thru a wet paper bag once you reach 50. Either something was going on with her right eyelash or something was wrong with her eye because the it seemed to be bothering her all night.
I will give her this much - the woman has energy and kept going for the entire almost 2 hour concert. Way to go Madonna on that point. However, I just could not get over that she needs some food. Her body is SO thin she looks like a starving cow in a field. There is muscular and then there is starved. If you forget what a starving cow in a field looks like - no worries because the visuals on the screen during one song will remind you of what people getting dumped into a mass grave look like, flies crawling on the faces of children in third world countries, etc I understand the need to make a politic point but come on now...we are the choir!
Please, Madonna if you are reading this...put down the guitar. Before the show (while waiting) I was discussing the set list I read online with the person next to me...toward the end of the show that person next to me said "I thought you said she was going to sing Vogue?" I said, "She DID!" So there you go...it was done that bad with her hitting the guitar. I am not even going to go 'there' with the electric violin accompanyment in another classic. sigh
This was my first Madonna concert...probably my last. I did not really like the first half of the show. Once she sang "You must love me" the show got a little better. The best I can say is "I survived the Madonna concert"
Oh and if you are going and plan to buy souviners - bring enough cash: 'wife-beater' $45, regular T $60, Sweatshirt $90, program $30....
BTW...I love Madonna. Was disappointed this is the best she could do.
