I attended the last 3 madge tours and they were magic. So much going on, the visuals and the entertainment value was fantastic, you end up forgiving her for the inflated ticket prices. the only down side is the rock parts which are usually long winded and acoustic sections and also her obsession with Ray of Light and Music which are always present in her tours and becoming very boring. Her fans really want obsecure songs brought back to life such as physical attraction, gambler, dear jessie etc.
