Did You Confess?

As my Power Birthday Week continues, it was amazing to see Madonna's Confessions Tour pre-Thanksgiving special on NBC tonight. Brought back great memories of opening night here in Los Angeles.

The special is so well directed and beautiful captured. It was also great to see what the show was like later in the tour as opposed to the first evening when they were still working out kinks, had the opening night jitters, etc. Madonna's voice in the special is even stronger than it was when I saw her and the whole thing serves as a reminder of what a great dancer she is. That's how she started, you know? On a dance scholarship! But decided she wanted the fame and stardom of the rock world instead. But boy can she move better than any pop star we've had in a long time. Speaking of which, that dancer of her's, Cloud, should start his own career if he can carry a tune because he is ten times more talented than Michael Jackson, Wade Robson or anyone else I can think of was at their peak.

Extremely well done and directed too. So the cross scene wasn't in it? Eh, no big whoop. We'll get it on DVD I'm sure. I think I was more disappointed by the omission of "Lucky Star" honestly! But I'm sure they cut certain songs for time.

Here's the opening number, "Future Lovers/I Feel Love," for anyone who missed it.
