Hey kids, start saving – Madonna’s going on tour again.
Madonna is said to be keen to tour her Confessions On A Dancefloor album next year. Whatever she does, it’s bound to be a spectacular show, and chances are the tickets are going to be crazy expensive, too.
The last time Madonna (CDs) hit the road was for the 2004 Re-invention Tour,
which saw some tickets go on sale for over £500. Re-Invention grossed
$125 million in total, and although it made Elton John angry when he
famously blasted…
"Madonna: best fucking live act? Fuck off. Since when has lip-synching
been live? Anyone who lip-synchs in public on stage when you pay £75 to
see them should be shot. That’s me off
her fucking Christmas card list, but do I give a toss? No."
…Madonna
is said to be keen to want to coin it in all over again by touring her
new Confessions On A Dancefloor album, despite being a thousand years
old, having a knackered body from falling off horses, a useless film
director husband to support and a faddish religion to devote her time
to. Speaking to Billboard, Madonna said:
"I’m currently exploring the possibility. If I go on tour,
it would be next summer. And it would be all out disco, with lots of
disco balls. I would focus on dance music and the new record. I already
did the older stuff on my Re-Invention tour."
As
well as thinking about how much she could possibly charge a bunch of
rich idiots to watch her fart about on a stage for a couple of hours,
Madonna also told Billboard about the most controversial song on her
new album, Isaac.
Isaac was rumoured to be about Yitzhak Luria,
a 16th
century Jewish mystic and Kabbalah scholar, and by singing about him, some Rabbis suggested that she wouldn’t be able to go to heaven any
more. Madonna has responded by saying that Isaac is merely the name of
the bloke singing on the track, and:
"You do appreciate the absurdity of a group of rabbis in Israel claiming
that I’m being blasphemous about someone when they haven’t even heard
the record, right? It’s interesting how their
minds work, those naughty rabbis."

I find this article quite offensive.
I have seen pink Floyd (twice) the Stones, and a lot of others live, spent £200 to see Madonna on her Re-invention Tour (which by the way was LIVE, and E. John later apologised about his outburts), and it was worth every single penny!
The best show I’ve ever seen in my life.
I’d like to see the man/woman who wrote this article dance, sing and reinvent 50 or so of his top 10 hits, and make every single song a completely new experience (e.g. Material Girl as a heavy metal piece) at the age of 46, after having made the history of music, then, s/he could speak with some right.
PS: The Kabbalah is not a religion, nor a fad, if you’d read the Bible, the Q’ran or Paradise Lost, you would know that the Kabbalah is what has informed all three of them. I’m athesit, but at least I know something about this things, and check things up before writing about them.
how many internet sites are you gonna post on trying to make it look like she’s got fans left, Adriano. Your name is on so many sites giving feedback about Madonna. I guess she only has one fan left, you.
