    LONDON - September 11 - FAN Reports/Pics/Videos

    Madonna good, Wembley not so good....

    madonnalicious has received many fan reports from the Thursday night show at Wembley Stadium - and it seems a case of how much you enjoyed the show depended where you sat (or stood) - and how successful you were on getting onto public transport to get home.

    We had glowing reviews from fans in the gold circle (madonnalicious was in the gold circle and the sound was fine there), but those seated on the sides or at the back had trouble hearing and/or seeing the full staging of the show. It seems that this problem has just been distinct to Wembley Stadium as other Sticky & Sweet Tour stadium shows had great reviews.

    Here are a selection of fan reports - to read the full reviews and more visit the London Fan Reviews section:

    From Adam:

    The sound check ran late, so we didn't go in until almost six. They told us we would be let in twenty minutes before everyone else in the stadium, then wait at the gates before going onto the pitch.

    For us, there was never a moment of confusion. Staff were so helpful, they even told us EXACTLY how long we had to wait inside and directed us to the bars and toilets for our 'last go' before we were let in.

    It was just an amazing experience....until the train station closed but that is just poor planning by transport not having enough services.

    We were right up the front for the first set then moved to the back of the gold circle where the view was even better! Being up the front was fun, but if you want to see the show go back about ten metres!

    From Aidan:

    I have been a Madonna fan for over 25 years and have gone to all her concerts. Last night I was seated to the right of the stage. There were no screens that were visible and you could not hear her. Everyone seated towards the back were walking out of the concert after the first three songs due to them not been able to see or hear her.

    I would interested to know anyone else suffered a similar experience.

    From Andy:

    We were at Wembley last night in the Gold Circle....to see our all time favourite! Yes she was good, BUT the sound was terrible in places.

    During Into The Groove you could not hear her for the heavy bass, and when ever she spoke it was very distorted. For some one of her stature you dont expect this but we had a good night.

    From Flavio:

    Basically I just came back from Wembley and couldn't wait to share with you guys how excited I (still) am.

    Madonna was just 'superb'. She got confused with the words of Like A Prayer....can you believe it?

    She also thank God that it didn't 'fucking' rain. I was at the pitch standing and I did fell some drops though.

    It was a blast. She was unbelievable amazing.

    From Lucius:

    The Madonna concert in London last night was amazing. Highlights for me were the Britney video – even though I seemed to be the only one screaming – Borderline, which visibly made Madonna happy, and Heartbeat, which was stunning and had perfect sound. Furthermore, You Must Love Me proved that Madonna's voice gets more technical with age, the Like a Prayer mix was even better than the original, the Give It To Me routine is so innovative, and the art direction for Devil was breathtaking.

    The show was beautiful. Madonna is a legend. So are her legs.

    From Matt:

    I went to the show last night and was incredibly disappointed. We had tickets in the upper level - I've been to the last four tours and have had closer seats so wasn't expecting it to be as great an experience of course - but it wasn't any experience at all - we were up top left as you faced the stage, and I am absolutely certain something was not right about the sound - we could barely hear Madonna half of the time - every time she spoke you could see everyone looking at each other to see if it was just them. Some songs were unrecognisable until the chorus - it sounded like we had our ears full of water.

    From Tracy:

    Fabulous as ever, I'll be honest I wasn't expecting too much as I'm not crazy about the Hard Candy CD but she blew me away yet again. The opening song was fabulous, great entrance, the whole thing was spectacular.

    Loved the reworking of Vogue and Borderline. Like A Prayer was also fabulous. The only bit I didn't like was the end of the gypsy section. You Must Love Me was beautiful, felt very honest and personal.

    Sticky & Sweet Tour: Wembley Speech

    Here is a clip filmed by madonnalicious reader Alejandro of Madonna's speech and acapella Express Yourself during the show at London's Wembley Stadium on Thursday night.

    Madonna said: 'I would like to thank God and all my friends because it didn't f*cking rain! And you can take that 1%(?) chance of rain and stick it up your arse!'

    Many fans attempted to get Madonna to sing Gambler instead of Express Yourself. A4 pieces of paper with GAMBLER printed on them were handed round the gold circle and lots of fans held them high - Madonna even acknowledged them when she saw them by saying: 'You see I can't even remember the words to that one....I can't even remember the words to my new ones you may have noticed!'

    Sticky & Sweet Tour: Rome Fan Report

    madonnalicious reader Francesco has sent in this report about his experiences at last nights show at the Olympic Stadium in Rome:

    The concert started at 9:15pm sharp, as indicated on the entry ticket. She was in great mood and shape, after the initial Candy Shop she yelled the magic words 'Ciao Italia!' and the crowd of over 60,000 roared their warmest welcome.

    She told the audience that she was very happy to be there, that she was feeling all the love coming to her and that she wanted to give it back as well. The crowd's (and mine as well) favourites have been La Isla Bonita and Like A Prayer.

    Loads of applause also during the 'politics' video interlude when Obama and JFK appeared on screen.

    A special moment came when she dedicated Like A Virgin (almost entirely sang by the crowd) '....to the Pope. I know he loves me, because I am a child of God', she stated with pride.

    Overall a great show, less theatrical than the previous ones, with great remixes of the oldies and fantastic choreography. I wish she interacted more with the crowd, whom she obviously had at her feet, just to make the event completely and even more unforgettable.

    It was just amazing!

    "I fuckin' love Italy!" she repeatedly said.

    She was on fire! I have seen her live dozens of time - and two other times in Rome - but yesterday it was just something else.

    She loved every minute of it. The crowd was singing - that is shouting - every single song (including Spanish Lesson) and she ate it all up.

    "I can feel your energy......I can feeeeel your loooooove.....and I'm gonna give it back to you!"

    It's absolutely true....with Madonna you get what you give....the more you give, the more she gives back to you.

    It was a memorable night......right before You Must Love Me......the people in the golden cirlce (including me) started to shout Evita Evita Evita.....it quickly got louder and louder and at that point the rest of the stadium picked up on it and suddenly it became a chant.....70,000 people chanting Evita Evita Evita.....she couldn't believe it....she looked up in the sky and then closed her eyes as if she wanted to make sure she could absorb all of that electricity in the air......it was such a unique, moving and chilling moment.....then she started with "Where do we go from here?" with the softest and most tender voice ever....and then it became a soft duet....Madonna and the Olympic Stadium......it's really difficult to describe in words....hopefully some video of this will surface.....the whole You Must Love Me was such a magical moment....I have never experienced a Madonna moment like this....the whole of her was in that performance....by the end she was crying (she was right in front of me) and at that very moment Monte looked towards us in front of her as if to say "Look, she's crying" and then looked back at her. The make-up on her eyes (the same as the premiere in London) had already started to melt at that point. Right before disappearing she gave one last glance at the whole stadium.....I will never forget that moment.

    I just wanna say one thing to all the haters of this show.

    This is a fuckin' unbelievable show. The setlist works perfectly in the live setting....in the live experience, as they say. You just have to experience it and hopefully the crowd will be able to put her in the same mood she was yesterday in Rome. You'll love every minute of it. By the way.......both Ray of Light and Hung Up worked wonders. The entire audience ate them up and she could feel it. They become huge sing-along moments.

    Give It 2 Me as a closer was just da bomb......she gave all she had left. She was jumping all over the place and almost shouting over the pre-recorded vocals. It was delirium. In the end she shouted a very loud, "Graaaziieeee!" (thank-you) and started waving her arms.

    There would be so much more to say but I don't know where to start from. Each song became an opportunity for this love - between the audience and Madonna - to unfold and come out. It does look like she's hungry for this type of reaction. So, people of the world.....cover her with love, energy, passion and excitement! You'll be amazed at what she's ready to give back. What an amazing artist!

    One last thing about her vocals.....they were so fucking strong last night. She was in top form both physically and vocally. She must really be in a very good place these days because she was at her best.

    It's really a shame that this show was not filmed for a commercial release. This would have been a big treat for all her fans. Oh well.....who knows....maybe next time she performs in Rome....considering the experience of yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised if Rome showed up once again on the itinerary of her next tour.

    Thank you, Madonna, and thank you 70,000-something people of last night's concert.....it was a night I'll never forget and I'll always cherish.

    :inlove::inlove::inlove::inlove::inlove:

    P.S. Right before Hung Up she said....."I wanna dedicate this next song to the Pope because I know that he loves me because I am a child of Gold - All of you are also children of God - and also.......because......I am......... - the she started singing - Like a Virgin......touched for the very first time......and the entire stadium started to sing with her........over 70,000 people singing along to the entire first verse of Like a Virgin up to the chorus.......at the end she once again shouted "I so fuckin' love Italy!".....huge roar.... that that, Ratzi! ;-)

    Hot stuff :clap:
