“I love New York! It’s good to be home,” Madonna screamed as the audience roared. The Garden was just pulsating with high-strung energy.
The spectacle continued when a sparkling white Rolls Royce emerged onstage as a giant prop, one that Madonna maximized well and when she left the stage, a boxing ring manifested. The dizzying screens were also transformed into various sizes while green laser and almost blinding lights filled The Garden, making it New York City’s biggest club for the night.
The two-hour show featured Madonna in various stages of undress as she showed the world that she could be the fittest 50-year-old woman in the business. She danced and sprinted. She even skipped rope and strutted the catwalk.
It was more than just physical, however, as she breathed new life to some of her most memorable hits such as Like a Prayer, La Isla Bonita, Ray of Light, Borderline and Vogue. She could have called this The Reinvention Tour, Part 2 and the fans would have gobbled the tickets just the same.
My personal favorite?
It has to be her heart-felt performance of You Must Love Me, which she did while strumming her guitar. It was so spotless and you can really feel the sincerity in her voice. There was no tight choreography, no vocal calisthenics, just pure, raw emotion.
Madonna had a grand time interacting with the audience as she performed for them and with them.
At one point in the show, she jammed with the crowd as she performed Lucky Star, which was requested by some placard-carrying members of the audience.
She also pointed out the few people who were sitting down while everyone was up on their feet clapping. “Are you bored?” she asked a couple of middle-aged men, before she politely asked them to stand up. “Come on, this is not a Barbra Streisand show,” she barked.
Her energy level was way up there and this was willingly matched by the very appreciative audience. Madonna was really having fun and it showed.
Her adoring fans couldn’t be happier. (www.asianjournal.com)
