Madonna: Jesus wouldn't mind my stunt

Pop superstar Madonna has furiously hit back at criticisms the crucifixion stunt on her Confessions tour is disrespectful to Christians, arguing her motives are honourable.

The singer sparked a religious backlash on the first night of her Confessions tour in Los Angeles when she mounted a six-metre (20-foot) high mirrored crucifix and sang Live To Tell.

But the 47-year-old claims the iconic image was only employed to spur audience members to donate to her AIDS relief charities.

She tells the New York Daily News, 'I don't think Jesus would be mad at me and the message I'm trying to send. Jesus taught that we should love thy neighbour.'

Accompanying the stunt were images of third-world poverty, which were flashed across huge video screens at the venue, and a reminder that 12 million African children are now orphans because AIDS has killed their parents.

Here is the first press review from the first show at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas, from John Katsilometes at the Las Vegas SUN newspaper:

 

John Katsilometes takes in a true Las Vegas spectacle - Madonna at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Back in November the MGM Grand Garden Arena staged concerts by three monumental rock figures U2, Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones. All entertained in their own distinctive fashion, but none quite shouted 'Vegas' like the artist who filled the MGM on Saturday and Sunday nights.

Making effective use of 15 dancers, four musicians, three backup singers, a half-dozen wardrobe changes and a multileveled set that featured several LED screens, a pair of dancing platforms flanking the stage and a giant mirrored disco ball, Madonna was uniquely at home on the Vegas stage. The dancers - an athletic lot that could perform with any Cirque production in the city - were particularly impressive.

And the crowd - including a person sitting a few rows in front of me who was either New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson or someone who could sit in for Richardson on 'Lou Dobbs Tonight' - stood almost the entire night and went nuts for the remarkably flexible 47-year-old pop icon.

Here's quotes from Saturdays & Sundays's Las Vegas shows

 

Saturday's Show:

'You are supposed to be the most lively people on the planet.' (She said this to the subdued crowd)

'You people suck!' (Her response to the audience when they did not repeat, 'Time Goes By So Slowly' to her liking near the end of the concert)

 

Sunday's Show:

'Ladies and Gentlemen, put out your cigarettes, because for the next two hours, I WILL BE THE ONLY ONE ON FIRE!'

'The Vegas crowd is on fire tonight!'

In yesterday's edition of the New York Daily News this small piece of gossip was published in the Rush & Molloy column:

 

Madonna may get the highest price ever paid for a TV concert special - $15 million from NBC, we hear - from her current 'Confessions' tour.

It remains to be seen whether the network would air her posed on a cross, moving provocatively on a 'horse' or shouting profanities during an anti-Bush montage.

Hubby Guy Ritchie's documentary on the tour would also air, and the diva should be getting a nice payday from H&M when she goes shopping there with her crew....
