The MDNA tour has ended last night. Madonna‘s latest tour, her ninth mega

show, visited cities in Europe, the middle east, United States, Central

America and South America and whether you like the show or not you can’t deny

the fact it was a big production that tried hard to show what is the M-DNA or

best the DNA of Madonna. And according to us it succeded. All the elements of

Madonna career were there, remixed and revisited for 2012: Controversy

linked to sex and religion and enactment of violence but also the fight for

the rights of minorities and the invitation to be conscious about what

happens in the world around us. Madonna was also very political on this tour,

she openly supported Obama and was not afraid to stand for freedom of speech

(Pussy Riot) when she visited countries that are not very willing to have

around people expressing themselves. And finally her eternal themes of

“believing in yourself” and that “if you work hard for dreams they can

eventually come true” were there too! All mixed together in a kaleidoscope of

music and dance that comprised the best of her new songs and some of her

immortal anthems.

This is also the tour in which Madonna was really closer to her fans. She

chatted and joked with them during soundchecks, she was surprised and

flattered by the things they were saying to her and looked as if she

genuinely enjoyed the time she spent with them.

This was really a great show and even if at first it looked a bit rushed,

with time things were tweaked and eventually it made a lot of sense. But

above all Madonna’s professionalism was evident, she danced intricate

choreograpy in pouring rain, she played Turn Up The Radio in full costume in

countries or venues where it was so hot that you could see her literally

covered in sweat! She was resourceful when the inevitable technical problems

came around (a missing hotel prop and music programming that didn’t work

properly to name just a few).

Of course there were also frantic moments, one for all, MDNA a l’Olympia. Probably if Live

Nation France cared a bit more to explain it was going to be a mini show (it

was indeed clear since the start to us, the die-hard fans) Madonna could have maybe

avoided some bad press, but still the fortunate fans who attended that show (and the ones watching it live on Youtube)

not only saw unique performances of Beautiful Killer and Je T’aime Moi Non

Plus, but can proudly, or laughingly, say they are somehow part of Madonna

history as all the world’s papers reprised the news about that mini gig.

To cut a story short, MDNA Tour once again proved that there’s only one Queen and that’s Madonna (I know it hurts!)

The MadonnaTribe Team wants to congratulate and thanks Madonna, her management, the dancers, the amazing Nicki Richards and Monte Pittman and all the crew for putting together a breathtaking show we have enjoyed quite a lot! We also want to thanks all the lovely fans and friends have met on this tour, it was great sharing this experience with all of you! Let’s hope to see a great new show in 2014!
