I must confess:
the Madonna concert was good. It was weird, but good.
The rumors of her
late arrival were all true. Knowing that she had been showing up
late, we didn't arrive in our seats until 9:45pm, and we still
waiting for 45 minutes to go on. It was a let down between the
opening act of Paul Oakenfold who we saw for 15 minutes and waiting
another 30 minutes for her to finally take the stage. The crowd lost
its mo-jo. I read that in Miami two days later she didn't show up
until 11:23pm. People were pissed, left and asked for refunds. Can't
say that I blame them.
The concert itself
was different. I felt like at times she was trying too hard and
other times she was trying to shock and awe a group of people who
probably don't shock and awe very easily. But that's Madonna and she
is still the queen, as we were reminded by Nicki Minaj during the
concert, who made a pre-recorded video appearance. A little dig at
Lady Gaga? Jealous much Madonna?
She played for a
solid two hours and no encore. She even chastised a guy in the pit
for having his arms crossed while she performed. 'I'm working my ass
off up here' she said to the guy. I was thinking: for the amount of
money he paid to see you work your ass off, he should be able to do
what ever the hell he wants!
All in all, I can
say 'been there done that' but I won't be attending another Madonna
concert any time soon.
