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).

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
