like a prayer
So I have pretty good reason to believe that Madonna might just be the Queen of the universe. Like, The Queen, with caps. Her performance is amazing -- two straight hours of nonstop dancing and singing and and action and lights, and fashion and choreography and god, so much energy, it's incredible -- sometimes it's tiring just too look at the stage. (It was definitely tiring to cheer as much as I did. Coupled with the fact that I second-hand smoked about the equivalent of 4-5 cigarettes all in all, and ow, my throat hates me.)
The stage itself was huge and lit up, with five huge screens onstage and more revolving stages and lifts within -- I know they brought in Madonna's equipment via three cargo plains and a ship.
marina asked me to take a photo of it because she gets overwhelmed with glee when she sees the first letter of her name in huge sparkly pink:
The set list included four acts:
Intro/Candy Shop
Beat Goes On
Human Nature
Vogue
Video Interlude - Die Another Day
Into The Groove
Holiday
Dress You Up
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
Frozen
Ray Of Light
Give It To Me (Finale)
Virtual cameos included video duets with Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Britney, and a homage to Michael Jackson, portrayed (rather well) by one of Madonna's dancers. RL cameos included, to my retroactive surprise, her kids! Apparently the girl playing the piano for "Devil Wouldn't Recognize You" (gorgeous number) was Lourdes, her oldest daughter, and the two kids dancing during Paul Oakenfold's warm up set were her two younger kids, and they were adorable! She apparently brought them onstage because this was her last show of the tour, so that was cool. And it seemed like she really loved being here -- okay, so sometimes she may look like a crazy Kabbalah woman or something, but she got all choked up and creepy during "You Must Love Me", it was really sweet and you could tell that ending her tour here actually meant a lot to her.
Hmm, what else? Woman is basically an energy bomb. And apparently she plays guitar! I never knew that.
And now I'm really going to sleep, finally. I'd managed to sleep for an hour at noon, but once I left for the concert at 5PM (wanted to get there early to catch a good spot -- we did --) I didn't actually sit down for a single moment until I returned home at 1AM. So that was literally 8 nonstop hours on my feet. I think I'm gonna need to stay in bed all day tomorrow just to balance things out.
