Madonna’s Sticky and Sweet tour kicks off
Posted on August 24th, 2008 by Hot MommaMadonna kicked off her Sticky And Sweet world tour in Cardiff Wales, last night. For two hours, the Queen of Pop reworked songs from her 25-year career. The colossal roof at the Cardiff venue was closed to keep the rain out - and to make the sound even louder.
A week after her 50th birthday, Madge delivered an epic show with eight costume changes. Fans who had paid up to $320 for tickets and flown from all around the world, were taken on a high-energy trip through her career.
Madonna split the show into four: Pimp, Old School, Gypsy and Rave. She arrived on stage in a sexy black outfit for opening number Candy Shop. Madge’s latest album, “Hard Candy”, accounted for nine out of the 22 numbers played.
Madge changed into a white top hat and appeared in a white limo for her second track Beat Goes On.
Rap and R&B stars Kanye West and Pharrell Williams put in virtual appearances along with Britney Spears. Britney appeared on a huge screen above the stage - trapped in a lift, wearing a hoodie.
For Bond theme Die Another Day the dancers acted out a full-on boxing match in a full-size ring on stage.
Madonna lap danced around a pole in red hot pants to her early hit Into The Groove, then sang alone from the center of the stage for an emotional performance of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s You Must Love Me - from Evita.
But the highlight came during She’s Not Me when four dancers dressed as Madge through the ages came on stage. Madge and her team also sported Day-Glo legwarmers and performed synchronized skipping-rope dance routines.
Husband Guy Ritchie was spotted in the crowd for the show. The tour continues with 50 dates around the world.
