Special to The Globe and Mail Madonna: Confessions Tour At the Bell Centre In Montreal on Wednesday When Madonna first appeared on stage at Montreal's Bell Centre on Wednesday night, it was clear that this tour marked one of those key moments in her career arc. Her arrival on the charts in the early eighties was marked by critical derision. Since then, there have been celebrity relationships (among them with Sean Penn and Warren Beatty), and brazen proclamations of libidinous bravado and religious transformation. Madonna's music has consistently delivered. Not every track on every album is spun from gold, of course, but she is still an extremely savvy and clever performer, pop star and singer. Her latest album, Confessions on a Dance Floor, is a brilliant album, full of spunky glam, ghetto chic and stimulating videos that have been among Madonna's hallmarks. The first night of the only two Canadian performances of her Confessions tour was an example of the artist at her best: energetic, naughty, brazenly kitschy and wildly entertaining. She arrived, ingeniously, in a massive disco ball that descended from the heavens and opened like a blooming flower. Call it the damn-the-critics tour: Madonna seemed hell bent on engaging in some age-defying calisthenics, and, oddly enough, began the evening with a lengthy reference to her horse-riding accident of last year. This, she made entirely clear, was going to hold her back about as much as those occasionally bitchy reviews. Draped in a series of skin-tight outfits by Jean Paul Gaultier (a couple of them appeared to have been sprayed on), Madonna's body provides a point of fascination. While defying her critics, she also defies age: Why bother with a midlife crisis when there are no signs of crisis?(The list of factoids given to the press about the Confessions tour includes: "Foundation used on Madonna's skin: 0.") There were the expected and much-talked-about political statements: the depiction of a tragic gangland shooting; a reminder that one million children have been orphaned by AIDS in Africa; nods to her massive gay following (two male dancers embrace during one number, to Madonna's approval); and the obligatory trashing of Bush and Blair. But Madonna is at her best when she moves beyond literal-minded political statements and plays with cultural iconography. She performed a rendition of Live to Tell while strapped to a massive mirror-tiled cross, adorned with a crown of thorns (fitting in Montreal, a city that has its own lit-up cross). Madonna seemed less intent on reminding us about her own suffering than about pointing to the religious overtones of contemporary celebrity culture (a point made equally well by David Bowie during his 1987 Glass Spider tour). Another sublime moment arrived when she sang her signature song, Like a Virgin. For this, a metal rod conveniently popped out of one section of the stage, allowing Madonna to pole dance, showgirl style. But the play list was telling: This is not an artist who is comfortable settling for a greatest-hits retrospective. Madonna is confident that her best work is current, not past. More than half of the songs performed were from her new album, culminating in a marvellously tacky disco medley, punctuated by Hung Up, the ludicrously catchy ABBA-sampled hit. Madonna seemed intent on proving something with her Confessions tour: that she's still beholden to her worshipping fans (Montreal's two nights sold out in under two hours -- a record), that she still knows how to have fun (despite parenthood and the religious conversion) and that she remains culturally germane. To accomplish that, she needed to captivate, to provide exhilaration, to nod to her past while maintaining the aura of an artist whose best is before her. She delivered.

I like the one where she's licking the convertable's fender and then she goes down on Snoop Dog, then she goes down on Missy Elliot.

Touch My Body, the new Mariah Carey single is HOT, HOT, HOT as Billboard reports...
Mariah Carey makes a triumphant return to the charts with her new single Touch My Body. After less than six days at radio it blasts onto a whopping four airplay charts. "Touch" storms CHR/Top 40 (No. 32), Rhythmic Top 40 (No. 26), Urban (No. 23) and Urban AC (No. 39). By debuting on the CHR/Top 40 chart, Carey takes the lead for most hits in the list's 15-year history: "Touch" is her 26th entry, breaking a tie with Madonna.
