Madonna - The Girlie Show........2007-02-16

This concert dvd is absolutely fantastic.
It is brilliant and entertaining from start to finish.
It is on par with Blonde Ambition and The Confessions tour.
An absolute "must" have for all Madonna fans, and even if you are not a fan of Madonna, but like being entertained by watching a great show, this is for you.
Spectacular.

Much Better Than Is To Be Expected!.......2007-01-28

Recently, I've been taking-in the numerous pleasures of Madonna via her "Sex" book era of Erotica and Romance. Purchasing the CD of the single's title and picking up this concert at the same time, seemed a fiery mesh of beauty that I hoped I could handle all at once.

Luckily: I couldn't.

While I had read many other reviews ranging from mild interest to love to absolute hate, I decided to tune out all else I had experienced and just focus on the Lady M. My final verdict? Complete and utter dancing, early 90's era bliss.

Over the past few years, I've found Madonna's performances rather lacking. While I always considered the "Drowned World Tour" her best effort, there were moments I wished had been taken out of the set list, along with other aspects of her recently completed "Confessions Tour." At times, these two concerts took things a little bit too seriously, with Madonna so full of her spiritual self that it distracted from all other sequences appearing behind her. A shining example of such would be the interlude of Dancers' Confessions that paved the way for Madonna's "Live to Tell" during the NBC Broadcast of "Confessions." The whole routine was horridly produced and cliched beyond belief, made all the worse by the fact that Madge was taking it all to heart. She was ruining herself under all these trying-too-hard efforts at shock that it was really quite . . . laughable.

However, "The Girlie Show" is nothing short of spectacular! Where as other tours have been parody-worth due the over-the-top seriousness, this concert was pure and simple fun. If anyone else had tried to pull off some of the antics contained on this DVD, they would be the stock of laugh of the entire country. However, Madonna makes it all work in some odd choreographed way. No matter how crazy or insane the spectacle becomes, you can continually see Madonna laughing, smiling, and singing through the sweat, making for a great concert of high energy, leaving undertones at the door.
The epitome occurs with "I'm Going Bananas," an infectiously silly rendering of Spanish style music and fun circus-style entertainment, which, at the end of the day, makes up the meat of "The Girlie Show."

"Erotica"..."Bye Bye Baby"..."The Beast Within"..."Justify My Love" - It's all one night of pure perfection.

~Highly recommended~

Hot show.......2006-10-19

I loved this concert! I always liked the routine she did for Bye Bye Baby. Very clever. She had a very tight band on this tour, including Omar Hakim on drums, who has played with Sting and many other artists. He keeps the beat like no one else. This was such a playful show. Her later tours were a bit political in overtone, but this tour was like a circus. I much prefer Madonna in this context. No message - just singing and dancing. Hot.

Not My Favorite Madonna, But Worth It.......2006-08-28

Dont get me wrong I love Madonna. She beautiful, provocative, talented, and all those things. But this is my least favorite concert, the concert was in support to her racy album Erotica and it was around the time her infamous but 5 star Sex Book was released. She had a few lows during the concert (i.e. Like A Virgin,Vogue,and La Isla Bonita) but she performed her new hits with style and originality! Deeper and Deeper, Erotica, Bye Bye Baby,Fever, Why Its So Hard, and Rain. Madonna was working her bottom off it seemed during the elaborate show. The Girlie Show was splendid, again not one of her best such as Drowned World or Confessions Tour. But would would defiently recommend this its a great item to have for any fan and its an exotic show to be watched. Many will LOVE! Its very racy in some seens, it should be for kids 13 - 15 and up (recommended).
