Some people fainted and first aid team brought out a stretcher at one point before the concert started .

I'm sure she will cut the hair though. I mean I was hot just looking at it .

Ps. The costumes were lovely. JPG was the best.

Or roll it up the whole show the way she has it for the Vogue section. IMO she doesn't need the long hair to look young. She doesn't need to look young at all! And I agree the Gautier costumes always look classy and brings out the best in Madonna

I don't know in the heat at Abu Dhabi It just looked really heavy. I love the pouf but god she has A LOT of hair !

I still don't get the wait after Benny's set. we had to wait 1.5 hour for her to come one. Am not surprised people were fainting . A some point some old fart expats started booing etc .

The show was held together by her and her alone . ANd am glad she has the HOT dancers again. ( both men and women ) . They were so cool .

They were some glitches that need to be ironed and am sure she's aware of that . But it was a great show and she seemed to be in a good mood. ( Not for the first section though. she seemed a bit pissed off at the end of it .)

How was her voice, butter9?

I can't believe I am not going to see her until Dallas in Oct! How can anyone keep up a show like this so long? lol

Just back from my "cheap seats" experience of MDNA and I loved it just as much as being in the Golden Triangle but do different reasons. Mainly being able to see the full stage and the phenomenal lighting.

She was on better form last night I thought. The heat was getting to her tonight. But she was more interactive with the crowd tonight.

Mini-speech before "Masterpiece": ". Have you ever been in love? Have you ever been in love with someone you can't have? But. You can have me! I'm yours forever and ever!" it was cute.

Did someone spill something on the catwalk? She stopped singing (lipping) during Papa Don't Preach and took a towel and started wiping. She said "it's everywhere!" and then crew members started wiping.

She missed the first verse of I Don't Give A because she was walking back slowly to the main stage. "sorry the stage is slippery".

She came up too late for Turn up the Radio and missed the first verse and said "this is the part I was mean to say something".

I hope we get a docco for this tour because these little fuck ups are very Blond Ambition. I want to see whose head will be rolling backstage!!

Pop legend Madonna will start performing an hour late for her second show tonight, promoters Flash Entertainment have said after dozens of complaints about the lateness of her show last night.

Madonna is due to perform the second of her shows at the Du Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi tonight, after coming on stage at about 10.35 - 90 minutes after she was expected to come out and just 25 minutes before the show was due to end.

One insider said that Madonna was concerned about the heat for herself and her dancers and decided to wait, although the Flash spokeswoman said she could not give a reason for the delay.

She did look overheated in some pics. Good thing nobody slipped and got injured due to the stage being wet.

Oh please, they're loss. I know the people who bought from them will be very happy.

I agree. Now 13 people have said they are selling their tix ( most of these are for the New Orleans show). The last 3 who said this are people I don't personally know but friends of friends on facebook. They are going to miss a great concert. Direct quote from FB "Really Madonna, REVOLVER and CELEBRATION? Really? Then she only sings half of Papa Don't Preach! She completely butchers Like A Virgin and Open Your Heart. I love her but I am not spending this much to see this. Maybe next time"- their loss.

That is kinda what I said... it may be her show but she needs asses in the seats. These people were willing to spend a lot of money and now they aren't. I just hope this isn't something that is going to happen on a larger scale.

obviously not. they need to watch DWT (in which she only did TWO old songs) and then they can shut their fat mouth. lol

I don t really care about stupid audience..there will be more place for true fans!

And about her lating .. Is it really that hard to wait the queen? Hello..not for me. I could wait for her as long as she needs. People are selfish and they dont know how to apreciate her hard work on stage. They are always complaning.

Durring DWT they didint like no interaction..durrin RI her political speeches and outfits..threw CT her guitar..SS her vocals..why loosing time on jerks.

Her concert is more than just regular pop show. She is livig legend..pop history maker..the best living performer..hello..she s Madonna!!!

These complaints seem to come from people who've never seen her live in cities she's never performed before. So they expected an 80s Madonna show.

see here's the thing, i get the idea its fans complaining saying she should think of the casual fan and not be so "selfish" :dry: fuck them tbh

Just got back from the concert. What a night. the crowd was mixed of locals but more Expat-ish . Several fights broke out in the golden circle . the scariest one involved a girl who was built like King Kong bitch slapping her way to the front with a beer in her hand .Then I saw her slapping someone's head right at the front. Security had to escort many people out .AM EXHAUSTED so i will write everythaaang in point form.

It was a magical night. the show is fantastic. Not as polished as I thought it would be but am sure she will make it perfect when she arrives in Europe / US ( and Aus ). The sheer bravado of this woman. The energy . It was AMAZING .

1.The air was not as hot as I thought it would be . It was bearable. I was in the golden circle stage right . Not right up front .

2. She started again on the dot at 10.45 pm. It was weird that they had to disassemble Benny Benassi's set to make way for her set/probs.

3. The Opening was stunning .

4. Her knee strap/revolver holder came undone during Gang Bang and she was trying to strap them together. her mic slipped from her hand but her voice was still singing. ( She was lipping ). She laughed it off.

5. During EY she let her baton slipped from her hand. It just shot out of her hand so she walked across the stage to pick it up and carried on .

6. She joked about the intense heat saying " Now let me stand here and just sweat a bit ."

7. At the end of EY she unbuttoned her top to reveal a black bra saying " Yeah that's right. if it's too hot just take it off ."

8. She really interacted with the Abu Dhabi crowd tonight . Joking with us several times .

9. She seems tired and at the start of Masterpiece she could really see that she needed to take a breather .

10. During Papa don;t preach i think she missed her cue or almost started singing at the wrong time .

11. Highlights for me were GGW , GB, EY,GMAYL, Vogue , CS ( !!!) ,HN, I'm addicted ( I think the kung fu thing worked really well on stage !) , LAP,OYH,Celebration .

12. her hair by the end was this frizzy messy thing due to the intense humidity and heat .

13. The end of very abrupt . AN anti climax really .

14. All in all 9 out of 10 . I had a great time and she was such an amazing presence on stage . Even though she seemed exhausted in some parts she knew she was there to entertain the crowd. Her sheer force of will . Fantastic .

Ps. i got to share my elevator with some dancers on the way back to my hotel . wanted to take pics but my phone ran out of battery by the end of Vogue !

you must be really rich if you can afford to stay in the same hotel as m and crew.. )

Just an update, my brother's girlfriend now wants to go because of what she saw on youtube. So her and my brother are going to see Madonna in New Orleans as soon as they get the tix from the person on FB who is selling his.
