I love the artwork for Everybody! :wub: Would love to know UK sales for Everybody (and Burning Up). I'm sure it's sold quite a lot for an uncharted hit.

I hate the artwork lol.

Actually really like Everybody, shame it's not as well remembered as the rest of her singles. Loved everything she released from the first album

That Night:

Madonna attends the official W/E London Premiere

I've watched her interview on the Graham Norton in full a couple of times since it aired, and viewed little clips from it quite few times. She does seem quite nice, although I can see why at times people would think she's being a bitch at times (a few eye-rollers in the interview etc.), and so did I actually before I read that she's usually very nervous before public appearances. With that being her first time of GH and with it being a UK show (very different humour between the UK and US), I can see why.

The wait was FINALLY over..

 

Madonna’s most recent stage extravaganza, the 'Sticky & Sweet' concert, will be released on March 30th, it was announced today by Live Nation, the world’s largest live music company.

'Sticky & Sweet', which was produced by Live Nation, was the most successful tour by a solo artist in history and was seen by over 3.5 million fans in 32 countries around the world.

The show, which will be distributed by Warner Bros Records, will be available on DVD, Blu-Ray and CD and will include many of the Material Girl’s hits from the course of her unprecedented career including, '4 Minutes,' 'Like a Prayer,' 'Hung Up' and 'Ray of Light'.

Filmed in Buenos Aires, over four days to a crowd exceeding 256,000 fans, the concert also includes a show stopping moment when Madonna performs a historic 'Don’t Cry For Me Argentina' to a thunderous audience response from her Argentine fans.

Also included are several hits from the multi-Grammy winner’s most recent CD 'Hard Candy' which debuted at No. 1 in 37 countries. The DVD also includes 30 minutes of exclusive footage filmed behind the scenes during the course of the tour.

'Part concert, part block party and all fun, there is still only one Madonna,' raved the Oakland Press in their review of the 'Sticky & Sweet' Tour. 'A night of triumph and defiance....A two hour multi-media juggernaut,' glowed the LA Times. 'Our lady of perpetual motion…This may be the best tour she’s ever stitched together,' claimed the NY Post.

Madonna performs John Lennon's Imagine as part of the Tsunami Aid concert on NBC.

 

This is the first and only time Madonna has performed Imagine outside of the Re-Invention Tour in 2004.

Her version of Imagine doesn't sound as emotional as John Lennon's version or Emeli Sande's, but I think she sings it really well and I like the new music for it.

 

Body of Evidence looks quite decent, but it seems like something you would see on True Movies or something. How well received was the film/her role?

Body of evidence in my view is one if madonna's best if not her best film. I really liked it and a great ending, I was there had been a sequel. Check out on DVD if you can Liam it should only cost about £5 maybe less. The film got panned because of the backlash against madonna had the time and the whole sex thing, don't forget the Sex book and the Erotica album was both released in October 1992 and this in January 1993. I think critics and non fans just wanted Madonna to put her clothes back on.

 

I really want to get the soundtrack for this, I need to get it.
