Since the Girlie Show Madonna was ready to tour again with the Drowned World Tour. All the themes in this show are amusing from Cyber-Punk to Geisha to Cowgirl and then Spanish. The costumes and makeup were all made to look effortless. The Detroit crowd were happy she was performing there again for it had been a while since the Girlie Show. It was good with the DVD that you were able to look at all the great images that have been taken of Madonna during her long career in the music industry. As for this show it was well edited, and the Japanese animation was interesting as an interlude.

It was more like a complete sensory experience. I saw the show in DC about 2 weeks before the HBO airing & was blown away. Madonna has always taken the concert experience to a new level & this was her zenith. A lot of people complained that she did not perform her "old hits," but that is a ridiculous. This show took each song & wrapped it into a story arc all from the viewpoint of 5 different characters - Punk Rock Glam Gal, Arial Butt-Kicking Geisha, Cyber Cowgirl, Latina Goddess & Pimp Mommy. The efx were amazing...from floating on a cloud of smoke when we first see her enter the stage TO flying through the air assaulting a gang of rogue ninja TO riding a mechanical bull. She has raised the stakes of pop music once again.

I've never really been a fan of Madonna's music. Don't get me wrong, I respect her for the icon she is, she's like Elvis and the Beatles. She's done everything from pop to r&b. She's molded music videos into what they are today and she's the ultimate trendsetter. I've just never really been into the style of music she does. I had a chance to watch the Drowned World Tour in person and HBO. My friend had an extra ticket, and I was just blown away. She played guitar, danced, sang great, all at 43 is it? Incredible! And when she flew in the air and did martial arts, I thought it was one of the most coolest things I have ever seen in person. The concert made me even go out and buy the "Music" and "Ray of Light" albums, and I love them both. Madonna, you rock and you keep on going, and never stop recording or performing!

Madonna has given yet another fantastic tour. The Drowned World Tour of 2001 was definitely the hottest ticket of the year. Every show sold out in record breaking time. This HBO taping is great. Watching this woman give one amazing show stopper after another is proof of what a talented and brilliant entertainer and performer she is. In the tradition of The Virgin Tour, Who's That Girl Tour, Blonde Ambition Tour, and The Girlie Show Tour, Madonna delivers the goods and once again captures the world's attention. Forever the biggest star on Earth - It's all about you Madonna.
