Madonna
(Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles; 50,000 seats; $350 top)
By PHIL GALLO
Presented by Live Nation. Reviewed Oct. 4, 2008.
Band: Madonna, Kevin Antunes, Monte Pittman, Brian Fraser-Moore, Rickey Pageot, Eric Jao, Arkady Gips, Alexander Kolpakov, Vladim Kolpakov, Kiley Dean, Nicki Richards. Guests: Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake.
The concrete images Madonna proffered during her 24-song show on a balmy night at Dodger Stadium elicited critical responses that were equally compact and unwavering. Colorful. Athletic. Celebrational. Single words were doing the trick rather than sentences, and, when it was finished, there was only word remaining: Bravo.
An avid supporter of Barack Obama, Madonna was performing her first concert since the news of his presidential victory had settled in -- she performed in San Diego on election day -- and although she did not mention him until late in the set, the entire night played off the energy of victory.
Reports from earlier "Sweet and Sticky" shows, especially ones that predated the announcement of her divorce from Guy Ritchie, emphasized the physicality of the show, how the movement of Madge and her dancers was inspired more by the gym than her past inspirations -- the bedroom, the nightclub, the cathedral. That still holds true, but I'd be willing to speculate that the show has softened in spots as it has moved from European stadiums to a mix of arenas and ballparks in the U.S. and has become a much warmer whole as a result.
Consistent in tone and attack, this is Madonna the modernist keenly aware of her past images yet defiant in her refusal to be bound by them. The erotic and the exotic have been pushed aside in the name of determination and directness, seen in the visual metaphors of boxing and jumping rope, not to mention the non-nonsense attitude she brings to the perf.
It can be heard in the sound and seen in the routines: She toughens up beats and adds hard rock elements to early hits such as "Borderline" and "Like a Prayer"; during "She's Not Me," Madonna physically dispatches dancers costumed as Madge through the ages -- the Material Girl, the conical bra, the "Like a Virgin" wedding gown, the "Who's That Girl?" black corset. It's a declaration of sorts that this 50-year-old mom is scrapping her vestiges and charging hard into life of activism.
"Sweet and Sticky" is a return to impeccably executed choreography and costumes. Outfits are changed on nearly every song for dancers while Madonna spends most of the night in a take on a high school P.E. get-up. The hoofers open in various black-and-white garb for the first five songs and then make an eye-popping transition to color against video images from the library of Keith Haring; it's schoolyard fun to accentuate "Into the Groove" assimilated into a modern house beat. Video use is often stimulating artistically and used for spiritual, political and social observations.
Two-hour concert started absurdly late -- 9:50 p.m.-- after Paul Oakenfold's indifferent DJ set from 7:45-8:30, the action paced as if she had the car running backstage and wanted to get home by 1 a.m. Evening's fiery timbre and tempo -- set at the start by "Candy Shop," "Beat Goes On" and "Human Nature" and equally fervid in the final triptych of "Ray of Light," "Hung Up" and "Give It 2 Me" -- is broken only once, about two-thirds of the way through the show. A trio of Romanian gypsies add the acoustic Mediterranean touches to "La Isla Bonita" and ramp up the festive "Doli Doli" before Madonna and solo grand piano wrap studied emotional vulnerability around the "Evita" ballad "You Must Love Me." In a night of dance grooves and heavy-metal guitar chords, the softer seg was extremely blissful.
Guest appearances by Britney Spears (on "Human Nature") and Justin Timberlake ("4 Minutes") gave the night a uniqueness. Spears was all smiles, Timberlake danced with Madonna as if they do the routine nightly; both of them were careful to not upstage the star.

the way you use emoticons is rather...annoying
No more annoying than a britney loon in a madonna forum!!!
:rotfl: -
Britney looked WAAAAAY better than Madonna did and I hate Britney's music.
the most delusional thing ever!!!
:rotfl: the fact is: when a 50 old woman look so much better n younger than a 27old trailer trash wreck 
speak volume, how this bionic unreal woman compared 2 that ordinary flabby, saggy(tits 
)body of her...thats why is all coverd up from the neck to the toe but in a way i feel sorry 4 her cos that the only way she can feel comfortable standing next 2 the ""THE BODY"" and b watch by millions around the world. is not good 4 ur self esteem stand next 2 most fit, healthy beautiful human in the world u need 2 b very sure about urself n body 2 dare stand next 2 ""THE BODY"" 
I was witness myself 2 ""THE BODY"" just 10 feet away from the stage, watching her in awe n disbelieve how amazing n unreal her body look how so much younger n beautiful in person she look the muscles in buns, legs, arms cut but lean n feminine as the same time, the skin like a porcelain doll... just mesmerizing to watch live -
YMLM in full:
wow!! she sound n look so fucking beautiful!! -
yes it was MASSIVE. i loved all that energy though. we parked on sunset and walked about a mile in. as soon we saw all the traffic we ere like, "it will be faster if we walk" plus i love walking with the fans, it gets the energy started. LA was SLAMMED with madonna energy. we didnt have prime seats but the sound was amazing - better than any show ive been to. we met this great lady (who has seen every one of madonnas tours) who brought her 12 year old daughter who now loves madonna because of 4 minutes. im gonna tell you something, all you 4 minutes haters - that brought in the new generation of madonna fans AND it GETS THE BIGGEST REACTION. its kind of bizarre.
there was soemthing very bittersweet about miles away last night. madonna was protective of britney, having fun with justin. she apologized for her stage and the lights and that she could only see like 10 people. she wanted to see peoples faces, thats what makes it for her!!! she wanted to feel!!! so she said sorry but the show must go on. she was kind of like really sweet last night. it was a great night. she was really on. when i think of more, ill punch it in.
kat, great videos!!!
so much love...
:inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: -
aw, youre so cool. los angeles was filled with madonna energy. from the streets to the stadium. she was fantastic, as always. just humble and gracious to her fans and gave her all. it was wonderful.
lucky bastard!!
was u the offical backup singer this time around? u really deserved all those >madonna moments< that god is giving u cos u r a real loyal, smart, witty, positive madonna fan here who make us all proud 2 b a fan 
the energy this time around is really something else 
remind me of the blond ambition girl who i just fall in love wit so much power, confident, attitude n charisma. hungry 2 conquer the world all over again 
and the most important thing, shes enjoying a every bit of herself this time around like the beast inside is coming out the best thing could happen 2 her is that fucking divorce its like a new whole beginning -
this was so sweet. listen, i never cared about britney. but madonna was very protective and it was nice. really cool.
PUD!!! my idol!! the real forum god...is back!! behold!!
-
how dare uThe show was amazing!!Bitch went on 2 hours late!!
Britney should have stayed home.lol
Justin was there he was cool. Made 4 minutes wrth it crowd loved it.
Madonna said before miles away this is about love and I sure know enough about that!!!
The requested song was Dress you Up!!
She looked stunning like 30 years old.
Loved it!
she dont look no more than 29 to me
-
the only way i can explain all this hot mess
is that shes pure genius!! she used her 2 sell the few tickets left then, 2 show at the whole world how amazing her bionic, inhuman, superwoman body look compared 2 that ordinary, flabby, saggy body of her look like in comparison 2 our goddess just pure genius of her even her skin look more much younger than her this confirmed my theory, that she cant b human 
she really is a goddess :bow: behold!!! -
X Factor, I know you're new here, but I'm only gonna tell you this once. This kind of pesty thread flooding is not allowed here. Take your shit to Pop Princesses and post about Britney there. This thread is at 14 pages and half of the posts are yours. Enough. Push your luck and you'll be suspended. well, u r supposed 2 b the moderator here,right?? dont know why u talk 2 me like that, cos im not attacking nobody personally here, but its ok 2 lets those people here attacking me in a personal level, when they dont even know me. ironically, in a madonna page by a bunch of britney loons attacking a madonna fan. how ironic?? i see a big double standard by ur judgment here.
-
finally some normal quality images!!!!
brit looks good
cos shes coverd up!! -
Yeah I think so too. I think their association is tired. The video was cute in a pop culture way since Britney was everyones fav whipping girl like Madonna was back in the day but this is pointless. :demonic:
-
Pointless. Britney should've just went to the EMA's.
