Madonna - Sticky and Sweet Tour Review

Review by Cheryl Rickman

London's Wembley Stadium was Madonna's eighth stop on the European leg of her Sticky and Sweet tour and provided testament to the 50-year-old superstar's iconic status.

I first saw Madonna live at this very venue (albeit the previous version of Wembley Stadium) way back in 1990. I was sweet 16, dressed in cut off denims with copycat blonde curly hair, and had claimed my position right up the front. Subsequently I was blown away by the uber gutsy and inspirational Blonde Ambition World Tour performance. 18 years later, this time I may not have come over all emotional when Madonna sang Express Yourself, but I was still amazed by the "nifty-at-50" year-old innovative icon at this week's concert.

The choreography was outstanding, the two-hour show exciting, engaging and enchanting in equal measure and Madonna's level of energy even higher than on her Confessions Tour. This blonde still has ambition to do her thing and do it well! Of course, Madonna has always known how to entertain, and this action-packed gig did not disappoint. OK, so some reviewers have complained about the sound quality or the great M's lateness, but, for me, this was another incredible show of iconic proportions.
