where are we heading ???

Equal first: I am since 1982 Madonna fan I too was at a young age rather a "disciple of her followed", but also always been critical and have not necessarily anything super found, what she has done..
I think Madonna as an artist still pretty awesome. As a man I can allow no real judgment, but it is certainly not a really warm person, because then they would not have advanced so far and not be kept as long.
That should be any logical thinking person clear: it is not a saint!

So I think it is not "moving" (like others here, but almost a bit embarrassed) if you 're even a few tears shed in the bonus section of the DVD / Blu-Ray at prayer with her dancers ... sorry, the Weeping Madonna you can see umpteen times in comparable recordings since 1985, but I'll buy you the not so from - matter that is not the issue here.

My fear is, I admit honestly that Madonna does not get the curve and at some point as a sort of Cher (ie a zombie in the entertainment industry) could end. Early trends to the effect, in my opinion are emerging already. Sure, it has the better surgeon and it's all done pretty well. Only, Hello ?? Who believes request in all seriousness, that someone with more than 50 naturally would still so fresh as a daisy and look smooth. There are photos of her mid-thirties, because her skin was visually older than now. So much Kabbalah, facial massages and drinking water is not at all !!!!
Sometimes you can also see the effects of certain movements that all is not as naturally and appropriately, as was helped along and nature can not be fooled completely. For me personally this is on yes and for totally care, but here there are those who claim that everything would be real and live on Madonna, etc. and any of this into question is eaten up by envy, etc. This setting and the obsession with youth, which is practiced here, gives me a bad feeling.

I hear him already, the evil outcry, which now goes by the "extreme fan base". But as I said, I'm critical, not envious, etc. and provide no means "fanatic".

We come to the show, because it applies so here ultimately to evaluate, but the Gesamtkunstwerk MADONNA it comes to things above not around.

I think it's not so important whether Madonna now all singing live. Only I have almost the impression that almost everything comes from canned or again very reworked and was supported by several Hilfstonspuren. To bekaupten that "all or at least 90% would be sung live" .... which I find quite naive!
I enjoyed it definitely used to be better liked, as it has more than just a sound absolutely messed up. After all, they always frantically dancing on stage, that there once comes out of breath, of course, yes human. Thus, it had but stop the live-character. That it but now, partly 20 years later "with the same physical effort so much better sings and everything sounds like studio-quality ..... hello again: wake up !!! She has trained her voice that one can at wirkichen live stuff listen. But to be able to maintain this level for 2 hours, creates not even M., unless they would be "supernatural" ...

The Bildqalität the Blu-Ray is pretty good, I think, only in very dark scenes (such as camera pan to the audience) disturb a little shading and coarse areas. But this is minimal and is compensated by the very good sound.
Pleasant, I find that the section of the images is not quite as hectic as in the Confessions Tour.

When Madonna shows for decades it's been not to "concerts" in the classic sense, but rather absolute spectacle. One got so far always something new, never before seen purposed. Sorry, but understandable, even to her and her scouts go now sometimes out of ideas. There is therefore within the scope of this tour a few things that you know in very similar form already from previous shows ago.

My hat off to her I pull yet, because it is a work of art already unique.
I want also to step on anybody's feet, but this 1000% owned followings I can not understand and something I already makes almost a little scared. A healthy criticism never hurts. But who wants to come after me ... just insulted you.

I want to continue going from "Her Majesty" entertained, look forward but really hope and honest intimately that I like to fool with my Cher Theory!

I regret the purchase in any case, because there is something to see more material than on the Sky 1 broadcasting (alone the unabridged intro is just awesome!) And the sound quality is worlds better. Of course it is a pity that it is only of material originating from 2008. It would have been nice to have the bonus material the modified sequences from 2009, when the Tour was again started or extended, installed. But you can not have everything.

Madonna polarized for years on end. Meanwhile, however, everyone should be able to recognize her certain achievements and talents. Anyone who is still not quite sure which is to treat yourself to this recording times!
