I am not a big Madonna fan - but you have to watch this! I got in from Sanctus1 last night and wanted to watch some mindless TV and Madonna's confession tour was on channel 4. I caught here doing 'Live to Tell'. Madonna performs this song whilst hanging on a cross with a crown of thorns on. Above here is a counter which counts up to 12 million, the number of African children orphaned by A.I.D.S. She then has Jesus' words from Mat: 25 coming on the screen ' whatever you did for the least of one of these brother you did for me'.
My problem is that Madonna has adopted a child and this piece of performance is just self-endulgant and sets madonna up as a messianic figure...
have a look at it here:
The next song that she performed had a Jew and an Muslim dancing together and the one after had a woman dressed in a jilbab dancing in a cage...
