    THE THINGS I DO FOR MADGE

    Germany press reports/reviews

    The reviews r great..most even metion how stunning the crucifix performance is..

    Okay, so I translated some parts :angel:

    Tagesspiegel:

    An image of self-glorification that’s as obscene as it is fantastic. Much was made of religious minders protesting against Madonna’s mock crucifixion. Cologne’s Public Prosecutor checked out the show but the singer was not arrested. Instead she was being

    cheered on by 45.000 spectators, while she, blonde locks adorned by a beautiful crown of thorns, descended the crucifix. If there was ever a pop star – and to use the words of John Lennon – more popular than Jesus, it’s Madonna.

    Hamburger Morgen Post:

    45.000 people roar, Holy Mother of God, she’s there: Madonna, High Priestess of pop and Unabashed master of self-creation. 48 years of age and the megastar has lost nothing of her initial ‘spark’.

    Is her breaking taboos part of some artistic concept or just oil for the pr-machine?

    You’re left to decide yourself. But the fact is: It works!

    Love her or hate her, you just can’t ignore her.

    http://www.rp-online.de:

    The pop icon’s role of agent provocateur is visibly her favourite. But, for a show filled

    with political references she leaves her audience little room for contemplation. The frenetic

    pace of this fantastic show leaves you breathless. Perfect staging: 70’s vibe or 80’s nostalgia…Chameleon Madonna shows us everything.

    Süddeutsche Zeitung:

    The woman who created herself and the greatest

    entertainer in the world today. We are about to witness, the best, the biggest, most expensive and spectacular show in the world. But the biggest revelation is that a mega production of this scale

    is capable of moving an audience. Amidst all the chaos: Madonna. The epicenter.

    Stuttgarter Zeitung is moaning about her band being 'invisible', overstaged numbers,

    2 many dancers degrading a show 2 a revue act that puts Madonna & the music

    in second place...akward 'preaching' in a show that's supposed 2 b about disco blah bla bla..

    Rome In Frenzy Over Madonna

    okay I'm still very tired after the hectic week I had

    & I don't really have anything coherent 2 say but...

    I *heart* Italy

    - And I bet M does 2 ‘cuz the little women bring suitcases 2 use as a platforms

    during stadium gigs :D

    -Golddiggers at the the venue try 2 steal 10 euros from u, posing as parking attendants in public spaces .My friend & I cornered her, took her picture, & threatened 2 kill her if anything happened 2 the little fiat we drove there..seriously it felt like home..

    -We got there around 17.00h, we just had 2 queue leading up2 the entrance & managed 2 get just outside the golden circle, on the left-hand side (facing stage) the stage..without pushing, shoving etc...

    -Even though the crowd wasn’t as loud as u’d expect..

    the atmosphere was brilliant, people were quit humourous throughout..taking the piss out of Madonna quoting her shitty Italian lines from the WTG tour..held up banners in response 2 the pseudo crucifixion controversy reading ‘SANTA SUBITO’, which got a massive applause

    from the fans…I never felt such electricity.. and it translated to the stage..Cuz the bitch went full-out..

    Wembley felt like a run through show in comparison...

    -So Madonna seemed 2 consider this a special night..she was very happy, trying her best not

    2 smile too much during 'Future Lovers'…She introduced 'Sorry' saying she had Italian blood,

    And 'Italians don’t negotiate'..the biggest sing-a-long of the night..

    She went nuts during the ILNY outro, banging her Guitar with Stuart Price & Donna laughing their heads off, cheering her on..ROL, the place went nuts..Even Isaac did a great job, he got

    Applause during Paradise..people tried 2 sing Crazy For U..but, Madonna started talking b4

    It got a change 2 catch on…instead, there were the ‘7 nation army’ chants ‘ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh..'

    -La Isla Bonita = :flop: …Madonna’s Come On Italy! didn’t help..

    as the song got a rather weak response..what else..She added

    That's the way aha-aha I like it during 'Hung Up'..

    Okay I dunno what 2 say..had an amazing time..

    There's really no other place (okay, maybe Paris & Spain) 2 c M than in Italy..

    Btw, Oakenfold is P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C…seriously I have no respect 4 DJ’s.
