In an ultra slick entrance, Madonna lives up to her Material Girl traits. Enclosed in a crystallized disco ball (no fake crystals here dahling!) she descends to the stage.

As the crowd scream ecstatically for a glimpse - Madonna emerges in jodhpurs, riding boots and a top hat. Then again, you can only expect the unexpected with the reverent Madonna as your host. As the crowd gets to grips with the deviant display of S&M whiplash (ouch!) and provocative swoons, Madonna flips the lyrics to 'Future Lovers' intertwined with Donna Summers, 'I Feel Love'.

Rawness, controversy and impulsiveness are the words devoured by her show. In an 80's shakedown the long overdue title, 'Like A Virgin' makes a delightful comeback. In her digitally enhanced Confession Tour there were no setback where graphics, art direction and choreography were concerned-pelvic thrusts, dominatrix cavorts and roller skating dancers were some of the antics that wowed the throng.

Pining the crowd she screams, "Are you alright London? Are you ready to rock?" In doing so she reverts in to a prolong skip down the stage runway and hits back at the suffering and war, relayed on the screens. Her narration of sorrow is pinned to the track, 'Sorry'.

Being quite the performer, her costume changes were in abundance…frankly, I stopped counting at her sixth attempt and that was excluding the versatile hair do's that struck the sight and the interlay of props, including the glittery of her cape emblazoned 'Dancing Queen'.

With the innovator at hand, the entertainer had a few more tricks up her sleeve, one being fixed to a crucifix, the other sees the pop diva strapping on to a Gibson guitar spilling the words to 'I love New York'.
Meddling with the old and new, the unscathed 'Jump', 'Forbidden Love' and 'Hung Up' hit the shore as well as the 80's flashbacks of La Isla Bonita and Lucky Star were also resurfaced.

In a glorified disco - fuelled atmosphere, her retro and dancetronic pop had no restrictions. As Madonna, so rightly says, 'Thanks for coming, I can see some of you have come back for seconds and thirds" True, that maybe, but we still can't wait to see what's on the menu for dessert!
