And her Australian fans have a message back to her:
I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know
Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before
And I can take care of myself
I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know
Please don't say 'Forgive me'
I've seen it all before
And I can't take it anymore

Madonna's 'MDNA' Tour Brings Big Numbers to North American Premiere Tonight
Quote:
The tour, which began May 29 in Tel Aviv, has grossed $115,701,909, with attendance of 985,340 to 33 shows, according to Billboard Boxscore.
For North America, Madonna has sold $111 million in tickets for 44 shows in the U.S. and Canada, according to Arthur Fogel, chairman of Live Nation Global Touring and producer of Madonna's tours.
Dates are currently on the books up until a double at American Airlines Arena in Miami Nov. 19-20.
So 226 million in grosses? That's great but a little disappointing honestly. She still has South America though so she could make about 60 million there.
Over-the-top spectacle largely triumphs, though, so moments like that, as well as "Open Your Heart," performed acoustically along with Basque trio Kalakan's "Sagarra Jo," and a rousing performance of "Like a Prayer," which had nearly all of Yankee Stadium clapping and singing by song's end, are welcome reminders that,for both Madonna and her fans, it always comes back to the music.
Madonna has set up the “MDNA” tour as a current, artistically challenging work, rather than a nostalgic, greatest-hits package. She keeps moving forward, which may explain how she continues to reach new milestones like conquering Yankee Stadium.
Nobody knows better than Madonna that size matters. So it’s no surprise that her new “MDNA” tour gained some extra oomph from Thursday’s blown-up stadium version at Yankee Stadium.
Madonna's latest reinvention may be her most revealing yet. No, it's not because of her mid-show striptease during “Human Nature,” where she stands for a bit in her bra and panties to show off the words “NO FEAR” on her back. It's because her wild, nearly two-hour “MDNA” tour, which she rehearsed at Nassau Coliseum for most of May, may come closest to reflecting her current state of mind, while building yet another artistic, well-choreographed slacklining spectacle.
Madonna, at 54, isn’t giving in to pop obsolescence. The concert is a display of energy and nutty inventiveness, with Madonna costumed as everything from baton twirler to folk dancer. The details have always mattered to Madonna, and in this new extravaganza they add up. The effort is visible, but so is the delirious impulse behind it.
Forget marriage, motherhood and the kabbala. Madonna’s startling new “MDNA” tour — which made its first American drive-by at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Arena Tuesday night — finds her angrier, darker and more unhinged than on any road show of her 30- year career. It’s an idea-intensive, message-packed riddle wrapped in an enigma that must be seen to be believed.
MDNA, she said, is meant to explore a "journey from darkness to light, from anger to love [and] from chaos to order." From the show's violent opening to its celebratory close, she's certainly succeeded at that.
Time is something that Madonna battles and so far she’s winning the war. She is behind yet another inventive, unpredictable show. She morphs from majorette to mature strumpet without missing a beat.
Madonna still is at her finest when leading a huge dance party, which was the peak of the concert.
Much like Roger Waters’s The Wall performance at Citizens Bank Park in July, the Madonna show transcended the standard “concert experience” and was as much over-the-top, scripted theatrical spectacle as it was pop concert... In Europe, Madonna was criticized for all this guns, gore and violence. But this is Philadelphia in the United States of America. We are armed and dangerous. And so is she. And we love it.
marvelous reviews in the US =) =) =) and those are the ones we really need. the new york times give the show a great review as well as rolling stone =) so happyyyyyyyyyyyyy =) =) =)
