Dirty Cash (Money Talks) by The Adventures of Stevie V played at many of the shows I attended - roundabout the same section where Good Life by Inner City played.

While I loved the event, I am also quite sad that it definitively put paid to my fantasy of Donna and Niki being the best kept secret of The Celebration Tour.

Hi everyone, My friend has to return home unexpectedly and is therefore looking to sell her ticket for Thursday 13th February in London. Royal Circle, Row B seat 26. £455.40 DM if interested and only if able to pay right away. Thank you.

I saw it in New York in September and didn’t like it. The narrative that everyone who’s criticising it hasn’t seen it is simply not true. As Alan states: it’s absolutely fine to not like absolutely everything she does. For me, yes, this is her worst tour in terms of cohesion, setlist, creativity - the lot. And I’m far from someone who is put off by a setlist that isn’t full of hits. Indeed, the Re-invention Tour is one of my least favourites. I do appreciate narrative cohesion when encountering a less-hit-heavy setlist, though, and, much like the era itself, I don’t believe the show has any. The whole story/concept of Madame X is jumbled at best and a pretentious mess at worst. With this being a theatre show, there was a real opportunity to put flesh on the bones of the concept. And they didn’t. At all. Plus, the vocoder effects throughout the entire show provide another barrier to the supposed intimacy that it was meant to encapsulate (alongside the tightly-scripted audience interactions and lack of deviance from the nightly setlist).

It’s also worth bearing in mind that the Manchester Sticky and Sweet date was the same day as Michael Jackson’s funeral, which only ended at 9.15pm UK time. She referenced this in her speech prior to You Must Love Me later in the evening.
