Madonna Concert
 
Was anyone else there?

Average, bordering on shite.

'Doors open 19:00' - make that 19:45, not a great start with thousands of people trying to get in through the wrong entrances.

DJ from 20:30 to 21:30, followed by Michael Jackson songs until she managed to get on stage at 22:45.

A lot of crucifixes displayed on the screens, some swearing and a strange rendition of 'Like a Virgin'. Some of her music was OK, but the majority was very disappointing.

To top it all off, a big brawl in the grandstand involving pissed up Brits (40-something women).

We left before midnight with a lot of other people.

This really pisses me off. I went to a laughter factory not long ago and the back row bitches were fighting. I can't decide if Brits are incapable of having fun, or handelling their drink. I find it embarrassing.

thought Her Madge was brilliant last night. Really handled herself well pleasing the vast crowd in what must have been difficult conditions for the old girl. Support good too - that red dress on the skinny one!! and the dancers when they played that old jig. Sky News' coverage great too. God save Eamonn Holmes

haven't a clue about Madonna in Abu Dhabi though.

It was pretty vicious, a bunch of women looked to have been on the lash all day - more fists than hair pulling/scratching. It went on for a while, calmed down/flared up.

Seeing the cream of Tescos checkout girls going down towards the exit with a smirk on her face spoke volumes.

Why anyone would pay money to watch their granny dance about in her underwear is beyond me.. She has been shite for 20 years.

3 bags, a dozen pints with Jaegers and only then would I attempt it. And thats only because I remember her when she was fit.
