Joanne’s tv moment
Here’s some Confessions Tour memories from our reader Joanne from the United Kingdom:
Hi guys, just wanted to share this with you as I’m sure you’ll understand:
I was lucky (and rich) enough to see the Confessions Tour on 6 of the Wembley dates, including the 15th & 16th of August when filming was taking place for the DVD/ TV broadcast.
On the 15th I went on my own and was in Block S6 (near the Like A Virgin performance). This was the night they were filming close ups – and I’m sure it wasn’t close ups of the crowd they were after. So when I watched the show on tele last week I knew I wouldn’t see myself. But, hey, I got a great second…
I live quite away from Wembley and had began to master the journey home – changing tubes, catching the last train etc. by the 15th but this meant leaving as soon as the final ‘I’m tired of waiting on you’ left Queen Madge’s lips. So, we’re at the bit in Hung Up where Madonna’s asking the crowd to sing and some of the dancers are on the side catwalks doing the ‘Hung Up dance’ until she’s ready to go again. I got up from my seat and started walking down the stairs, catching the eye of the gorgeous Jason. We had a ‘moment’ where we had eye contact and smiled and it was lovely.
The next night I was telling my pal all about it and we had a laugh, picking him out and I imagined him teaching me the ‘You Thrill Me‘ dance, etc…
I’m sure you can imagine that I was a little over excited when I saw my ‘moment’ immortalised on the TV broadcast. It’s only a split second but it cuts to Jason dancing and he smiles and winks at someone and That Was Me!!
Just needed to share that.
