Speaking as someone who "Confessed" let me tell you the concert was just fabulous.

A fantastic show, great choice of songs and Madonna at her best - enojoyed every minute of minute. So NBC cut the cross scene, huh? I was against it before I saw at the concert but in the context of "Live to Tell" and aid for Africa I was very impressed by this segment...

PS: There is a male majority at Madonna concerts (and yes, a lot of them are gay (couples)) but the relation is rather 55-60 % to 40-45% female audience. The age mix is always very impressive and adds a great feel.

I thought it was great - definitely enjoyed every minute of it. I especially loved the remixes of Like a Virgin and Erotica she used and the incorporation of I Feel Love into Future Lovers. The Hung Up finale was awesome.

It was a good PERFORMANCE. But the songs were AWFUL. I haven't listened to her last few cd's through, but GOD, this techno trance phase she is in is really not for me. So, I think it's pretty bad. I did like Die Another Die and Hung Up, but I really see no need to turn a damn good ballad like Live To Tell into a trancey, acid trip remix! I could have used a glimmer of her old music. I know she feels like she was a different person when she wrote them, but damn. I don't think you would have enjoyed this unless you were a hardcore fan of hers right now and knew these songs.

King, I know that the reason Madonna didn't do alot of her older songs on this tour is because she feels tired of performing the same songs over and over again. Last year she did her reinvention tour and performed nothing but old songs from the 80's and 90's and didn't perform any songs from her American Life album.

So I think she can perform her newer material since for her last tour she performed nothing but her older material. So this tour she is performing her newer stuff from her latest album.

I thought the rock segments were good I Love New York and Ray Of Light were awesome. I also liked her performence of Let It Will Be and Hung Up and her new renditions of Erotic and Like A Virgin.

The Reinvention Tour was pretty heavy on older songs, but she did include some songs from American Life: Nobody Knows Me, American Life, Hollywood, Die Another Day, and Nothing Fails.

I've really been enjoying Madonna's recent focus on techno/disco/dance, so I liked the songs. I didn't really like the original versions of certain songs like Erotica and Live to Tell, but I liked the Confessions tour versions. I was never a big fan of Madonna's 80s/90s work up until Ray of Light, so it didn't bother me though I can see why it would bother others.

I already had seen the show on a DVD before, but I think as great as it was, and how good of a dancer she is(wow, she's 47!!), I also miss the old songs and would have liked to see a different scene and hear a different sound with each song, everything was too much in the same genre. I have her newest CD, know all her songs but still would have liked her to mix it up, and she should consider her fans that have supported her since the beginning- I'm all for new stuff and new sound but the old is good too.

Wonder what the ratings were.

Doesn't surprise me. An affiliate here pre-empted a disco special ABC did a few years back.

They were probably antsy about the "Live To Tell" cross thing.

I wish I could have seen it. Did she do "How High?"(Which, I hope is the next single from the album).

      To me, Judith McConnell (Sophia, SB) was more poised for Beth than anyone else. Yes, she was, as Sister Beatrice.

      Is that even still possible? I thought that too at first but with Jan saying that she's never lied to Ashley about who her father is... Does Ashley even know who her dad is?

      Unfortunately I only had one or two pages from those months. I believe I posted them but it would only cover one or two shows.

      I think she would have been fine, although Beth was a thankless part. She probably was seen as aging out of the genre after AW.  I forgot she was on Sunset Beach.

      OK, I like the Cat interactions with Xander and EJ. And, I get that there are new writers. But, Clyde was shot 12/11/2024.  So, why have we not heard Xander or EJ's response to the situation for five months!  Clyde shot EJ (or he ordered him shot), shouldn't he react more to the news of his coma.  And, I've never heard EJ or Kristin mention that the woman who lived with them last summer was a fraud. Rather than giving lip service to the idea of family and community, at least it feels like everyone no longer lives in a bubble. Also, while it makes sense to use the hospital as the prize in the war between EJ and Xander.  We all have to admit that under the prior writer, at least Xander, and I think EJ, were dissuaded from buying the hospital went it started to go under in March.  I get the magic sepsis cure makes the hospital more valuable.  But, it seems like the people who are going to get rich are going to be the pharmaceutical companies.  Unless, Kayla and Sarah are going to start manufacturing prescription drugs out of the coffee machine in the lobby.  -- crud, I broke my promise to stop complaining about illogical this story can be.

      I don't know if I could have seen that from her, honestly. But I feel like, outside of GH and her original DAYS stint, American daytime really didn't pay much attention to her, even though they should have.

      Co-sign, 100% on this one. Xander was entirely in the wrong.

      I'm seeing some interesting takes on this thread regarding Dani's behavior/personality, including right now. Here's my take on her: I think that Dani relishes in lighting people up. I think that's for multiple reasons.  I feel like Dani has probably largely been like this throughout her life. And that she gets joy in dragging people whenever she feels like it's necessary. I believe she feels like this is her being herself. I think one big reason why she's particularly giddy right now is because she's able to go back to acting this way, minus the hurt she's been dealing with due to Bill's affair. She got in Bill and Hayley's faces after their affair/wedding, but she was miserable doing it due to dealing with the hurt of that situation. Nicole's situation with Ted/Eva/Leslie allows her to act this way minus her suffering like she did at the hands of Bill. I believe she does empathize/care for her sister but is also interestingly enough rejuvenated by this situation. This situation is energizing her and making her act more like old self again, minus being hurt by her own's husband's infidelity. I think Nicole's situation is also a distraction for her from dealing with her own failed marriage to Bill.
