Madonna must be so happy, the tour went so well. A tour that most people believed she couldn’t do. I saw the show and it was truly so special.

The Madonna concert was excellent. Unfortunately, she did not come to Orlando, so I had to travel to Miami. What a night.
Mr.Gavin Elster
Congrats to Madge, er….. Madonna on her successful concert tour. But…..now it’s time to reflect, meditate and consider going down a career path, started by of all people: Wayne Newton and Andy Williams Sure, keep performing,sure go for that Vegas residency, but give equal time to new, young performers and a boost, and chance to twinkle. Let’s face it, unlike most performers of her generation, she DOESN’T need the money!
