"Everyone knows at least one Madonna song", I told my dad the day before the concert. He agreed. Even if you don't listen to pop music or anything mainstream, no one person can deny that they don't know of at least one Madonna song.
Madonna is the biggest selling female artist in the world, and for good reason.
Madonna's concert November 26th was the first time I had ever seen Madonna perform. Since I was a little girl, Madonna has dominated mainstream radio with her quirky (and sometimes risque') songs. She is the queen of reinvention. She doesn't fit into just one genre (or any genre for that matter). It's Madonna. Enough Said.
Madonna built a climatic opening for her fans by having a two-minute introductory video entertain the crowd. Fans watched as a candy-coated ball made it's way through a pin-ball type maze. The word "Candy" was spelled out on the center screen just before the screen started to turn to reveal Madonna sitting on her throne.
Madonna opened her "Sticky and Sweet tour" with candy shop, which features Pharrell Williams. She proceeded to go into "the beat goes on" and "human nature". It was during human nature that Madonna was playing guitar with a rather unique video going on in the background. While singing human nature fans watched as a hooded girl in sunglasses went a rather weird journey. The hooded girl found herself in an elevator, only to expose herself as Britney Spears. Madonna pointed behind her to acknowledge Britney as she said "It's Britney bitch".
Opening for Madonna was the legendary DJ Paul Oakenfold and among those attending was Yankees baseball star, Alex Rodriguez (a.k.a. A-Rod)
