Madowner
Well what a result. it's back in May and there I was, taking in the sights and sounds of Las Vegas (baby!) and right there, in the very same hotel that I, Big Rob and the Tonester were staying in, Madonna was playing her sell out Confessions tour.
Not one to look an absolute gift horse in the mouth, nor one to think that the US punters seem to get a much better deal that us Brits as I paid the ridiculously low price of $75, we booked it up and quivered with anticipation all day long.
The evening started pretty badly as we were told to be there at 7, only to find no support act and no Madonna until gone 9 and when you're surrounded by rhinestone infested non-cowboys, two hours can certainly feel like several days.
Luckily, the MGM Grand Arena filled quickly and the concert soon got underway. The stage was excellent, the props were great, even the diamonte caked cross that was such a desparate attempt to garner attention and controversy (and wasn't), and especially the dancers who climbed walls, swung over, under and seemingly through bars were all excellent, but tragically, Madge was only there in body, and that was all too slow (but I know I would love to move like that at 50).
Perhaps, she was busy counting the cash from this enormous world tour, maybe we Brits do actually get more attention and therefore more for our money, or maybe, she was just having a bad day, but you do have to wonder if her day has simply just passed.
A bold 5 for me ...
