Madonna -- With Special Guest Justin Timberlake -- Rips Through A Furiously Paced Set In NYC

Material Girl performs '4 Minutes,' 'Music,' more during arena-size show in the intimate Roseland Ballroom.
By Chris Harris, with reporting by John Norris

NEW YORK — You've got to hand it to Madonna — she never does anything half-assed.

The Queen of Pop, whose album Hard Candy dropped Tuesday, pulled out all the stops at New York's intimate Roseland Ballroom on Wednesday night (April 30), dazzling the packed-to-the-rafters crowd — including Fran Drescher and Rosie O'Donnell — with an energetic, fast-paced, six-song set that featured a guest appearance from Justin Timberlake for Madonna's latest single, "4 Minutes."

It was an event better-suited for Madison Square Garden and one that these fans — many of whom probably had to call a sitter for the evening — won't soon forget.

The pre-gig vibe was one of unadulterated excitement, with 45 minutes of candy-themed music (Bow Wow Wow's "I Want Candy," New Edition's "Candy Girl"), compliments of a DJ stationed center stage. Behind the expansive, five-platform stage, the cover image of Madonna's latest LP flashed on the big screens. Madonna, wearing a skintight black suit and a lace top, was certainly punctual, taking the stage promptly at 10:04 p.m. ET, to thunderous applause, as the first bars of "Candy Shop" reverberated off the packed venue's walls.

One segment of the stage rotated to reveal Madonna sitting on a gold-and-black throne, wielding a golden walking stick. Images of confections flashed on the television screens flanking the back of the stage. Madonna, along with her six dancers, gyrated in choreographed harmony to the sexy club jam. This performance, even if only 38 minutes long, was production-heavy, with a four-piece band and no fat. One song seemed to blend into the next, with Madonna saying very little to her adoring fans, who hopped on the opportunity to snap pictures of the pop icon with their camera phones as she strutted across the edge of the stage.

Next, Madonna strapped on an acoustic guitar, tossed back a swig from a champagne bottle and strummed her way into "Miles Away," a midtempo number about being far from home. Images of planes taking off and landing, airports and various locations around the globe were projected across the screens behind her.

The crowd cheered at the first few notes of "4 Minutes," which mimicked its video with a flashing countdown clock. After Madonna belted out the song's first verse, Timberlake emerged from a rotating pylon, wearing a white jacket and black scarf. It was the high point of the evening, and the production value of the performance was arena-size.

Madonna paused for a moment to reflect on the talent she's been able to work with lately, including Timberlake, Kanye West, Timbaland and others. "I feel like the luckiest girl in the world," she said, before dedicating her next number to her longtime fans — the ones she'd seen "sleeping on the sidewalk" the night before in line for tickets. She then played "Hung Up" from 2006's Confessions on a Dance Floor, followed by the disco anthem "Give It To Me," with pink and green disco beams pulsating across the crowd. Madonna danced like a woman less than half her age, and her vocals were at their peak.

"Give it to me, New York," Madonna yelled. "I don't see you people dancing up and down enough."

The stage lights were reminiscent of those at a Daft Punk gig, and that didn't change during the night's final song, "Music." Madonna started out at the very front of the stage, singing the opening a cappella, and was joined by all the concertgoers, who screamed in unison: "Music/ Makes the people/ Come together." As her dancers emerged from a faux silver subway car (destination: "Freshville"), she pranced across the stage, touching the dozens of outreached hands grabbing for her attention. The show ended with Madonna racing up the stage to the subway doors, behind which she disappeared.

And at 10:38, she was done. In and out.

Madonna returns to her New York club roots

Madonna is a native Midwesterner who now lives overseas, but on some level, she'll always be a New Yorker.

In the early 1980s, she made her name in the dance clubs of lower Manhattan, some 50 blocks south of the Roseland Ballroom, where she played a rare club gig Wednesday night.

The performance was meant to promote Hard Candy, her 11th studio album, which was released earlier this week. Sponsored by Verizon Wireless and broadcast, via MSN.com, around the world, the concert featured a handful of new songs, as well as hits from the recent past.

Over the course of her 40-minute set, Madonna sang, danced, played guitar, and flirted with Justin Timberlake, who made a guest appearance on 4 Minutes, her latest single.

She worked hard for her applause, even if the audience - an ecstatic mix of die-hard fans, contest winners, and celebrities, including Rosie O'Donnell and Fran Drescher - was putty in the palms of her fingerless gloves.

Opening with "Candy Shop", a new tune, Madonna took the stage in regal fashion, riding in on a golden throne. Dressed in all black and wielding a glass scepter, she made mincemeat of two male dancers, who dutifully kneeled and polished her knee-high boots.

Before grabbing an acoustic guitar for "Miles Away", another new song, she took a swig from a bottle of Champagne. Most people would have reached for water, but then most people, regardless of age, don't have Madonna's body.

Though she turns 50 in August, she still moves like her 20-year-old self. In fact, she's meaner and leaner than ever before, and the definition in her biceps was visible even from the back of the tightly packed club.

She certainly had no trouble keeping up with Timberlake, who surprised fans by emerging from behind a video screen flashing his likeness. The crowd screamed and snapped photos as the performers played off of each other, re-creating the choreography from the "4 Minutes" video.

When the song was finished, Madonna fired up an electric guitar and played the opening bars of Satisfaction.
"Did you guys think you were going to a Rolling Stones concert?" she asked, flashing a mischievous smile.
Instead of Satisfaction, she offered an industrial-strength version of "Hung Up", from her 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor. She returned to Hard Candy for "Give It 2 Me" and closed with the 2000 hit "Music", eventually disappearing behind a set piece made to resemble a New York City subway car.

The show may have been brief, but to New Jersey resident Eddie McLeod, who has seen Madonna more than 30 times, it was worth the hassle of getting tickets.

"What a perfect way to spend my birthday," says McLeod, who turned 37 at midnight the night before, around the time he arrived at Roseland to take his place in line.

After receiving his tickets six hours later, he and friend Renee Turner, 35, a veteran of 25 Madonna concerts, went home and put in a full day at work.

Others were lucky enough to avoid sleeping on the sidewalk. Jen Lopez, 30, won her tickets through a Chicago radio contest and flew to town for the show.
"She's just so versatile," Lopez says, explaining why, after decades in the business, Madonna remains so fascinating.

Asked how much longer she thinks the singer will continue recording, touring and wowing fans with her dancing skills and age-defying physical fitness, Lopez answers without hesitation.
"As long as she wants," she says.

Madonna debuts ''Hard Candy'' with Justin Timberlake at New York club show

A crowd far larger than the 2,200 capacity of New York club Roseland camped out overnight on the streets of midtown Manhattan awaiting the chance to see Madonna debut tracks from her new album Hard Candy on Wednesday.
The audience of celebs and die-hard fans who actually made it through the doors in time for her 10 p.m. set (which was broadcast on the Web by Verizon) seemed more awed than ready to groove when Madonna hit the stage, spending time texting and taking photos to prove the experience had really happened rather than dancing. But the cheers were ear-splitting, and with good reason: For 40 minutes Madonna delivered an impressive taste of what her upcoming Hard Candy tour might look like + tight choreography to match her sculpted body, reinterpreted tracks, a bit of rock & roll and a star ready to run her mouth.

After spinning approximately an hour’s worth of music ranging from Rihanna to the Eurythmics (though the biggest cheers came for “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and a spotting of Rosie O’Donnell in the balcony), Madonna’s DJ flipped on 50 Cent’s Candy Shop” and dropped in a bit of “I Want Candy.” Eventually the tracks faded, making way for the sound of Madonna singing the chorus from Hard Candy opener “Candy Shop,” at which point the lights dropped and the night’s main attraction emerged on a throne swinging a cane. Giant projection screens flanking the stage displayed mesmerizing animations of spinning candy as Madonna strutted around the stage in tall lace-up boots and a lacey black top with six dancers in tow.

After greeting the crowd with, "All right, New York City!" she was handed a black acoustic guitar with a sparkly silver strap and immediately launched into the new album’s lush but wistful "Miles Away," assisted by a small band consisting of a drummer, two keyboardists, the DJ and the guitarist who played her past three tours, Monte Pittman.
After stepping up to the front of the stage to strum the last bars of the song as images of airplanes landing and plane tickets flashed on the screens behind her, Madonna retreated only to re-emerge a moment later, after Hard Candy’s first single "4 Minutes" kicked off with a brief fanfare. The set began to rotate across the stage, creating a few narrow columns that doubled as screens projecting images of booming speakers as the song’s video played at the back of the stage. When it came time for Justin Timberlake’s first vocal parts, he emerged from behind one of the set pieces in a black-trimmed white jacket and dark scarf to wild cheers (Hamutsun Serve, the Japanese dance duo who appear in the video, also made an appearance). Timberlake and Madonna ended the song by replicating the choreography from the video, moving swiftly back and forth across the stage.

After the set spun back to its original position, the riff from the Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” sailed off the stage. “Did you guys think you came to a Rolling Stones concert?” Madonna asked the crowd, and responded to the audience’s slight boos with, “Yeah, fuck that.” After thanking “the lovely and talented” Timberlake for joining her show, she added, “I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to be able to make a record with him, Timbaland, Pharrell, Kanye West. And even though I’ve made what seems like 100 records, every time I put one out it’s like the first time, and the best time.” Madonna: always like a virgin.

“But that’s all I can take of living in the present,” she said sharply. “Fuck the present! We’re going to go back in time. All you people I saw asleep on the sidewalk last night, this song is for you, and I want to hear you singing it loud and clear.” She then picked out the chord progression for Confessions on a Dance Floor’s “Hung Up” on a black Les Paul, turning the super-digital disco tune into a grungy, guitar-based sludge-fest as black-and-white images of blurry breakdancers appeared on the screens behind her. In an extremely rare moment of imperfection, she skipped a “tick-tick-tock” and got slightly ahead of her band and backing vocal, turning around to glance at her fellow musicians before popping back onto the beat. “Anybody who knows me knows how much I hate to wait,” she announced as the song neared its end, replicating the sound of waiting in her brain by executing a slow pick slide, then provided a rocking coda - as though she was taking aim at those who criticized her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - as her DJ threw up devil horns. She then stalked offstage and gave the crowd the finger in a move reminiscent of the punk section of 2001’s Drowned World Tour, where she first debuted her guitar playing.

Madonna returned after an extremely swift outfit change in a sleeveless jacket for “Give It 2 Me,” the Pharrell-produced club track that will serve as Hard Candy’s second single, surrounded by two male dancers in doo-rags who encouraged the crowd to hop up on the track’s synth-amped chorus. Pharrell appeared on the video screens throughout the song, and green lasers cut across the stage, pulsing in time to the thumpy track. “I don’t see people jumping up and down enough,” Madonna complained, singing the chorus to “Music” accompanied only by the beat from her new album’s “Heartbeat.” After vanishing briefly once again, the back screen changed to a projection of a subway car, and a central panel spun to reveal Madonna and her dancers lounging on seats as though they were hopping the D to the Bronx (the car actually read “Freshville”). Unlike “Hung Up,” “Music” got a synth-soaked remix treatment, which soundtracked a gender-split dance-off between Madonna and her lady dancers and their male counterparts.

At the end of the song the Kangol-topped crew returned to the subway and the lights came up signifying the conclusion of the set, but the beat went on - literally - as the PA blasted “Beat Goes On” from Hard Candy and fans danced their way out the door.

Madonna en directo sigue molando mogollón
ElCliche.com se caracteriza por ser un medio de comunicación objetivo y ecuánime. Y si bien nos parece que el último descarte de la maqueta de Carmen Miriam hubiera subido considerablemente el nivel de “Hard Candy”, también podemos decir que, Madonna sigue siendo la reina. ¿Y por qué? Pues porque a pesar de haber sacado su segundo peor disco ever (Bedtime Stories es aún más vomitivo), la tonadillera de Detroit ofreció anoche un concierto promocional en NY estupendo.
La intérprete de temas tan emblemáticos como “Back in Bussiness”, “Words” o “Easy Ride” ha vuelto a ganarse un huequecito en nuestro corazón después del desastre que supuso descubrir que su último disco es peor que mediocre. Lo ha conseguido de la mejor manera que sabe, demostrando que a pesar de su voz de grulla en época de celo sus directos siempre merecen ser tomados en cuenta.
_________________________________________________________

¿Qué hizo anoche Madonna? Pues la verdad es que nada nuevo: Su típico concierto promocional de cinco canciones, sin un gran despliegue técnico, con su momentito “toco la guitarra” (cariño, ya cansas), con voz de Mila Ximénez con sobredosis de "Ducados" y muy semejante a los que lleva haciendo cada vez que saca disco desde el año 2000. Pero ahí reside la grandeza de esta señora: Cantando la basurilla de su nuevo disco y haciendo lo mismo que en conciertos promocionales de anteriores discos, este mini show nos ha encantado

La madre de la que podría ser “Hairy Spice” si hubiese audiciones para una versión infantil del grupo apareció sobre el escenario cantando “Candy Store” con toda una declaración de principios: Sentada en un trono. Tras desgranar “Miles Away” con guitarrita en mano el éxtasis llegó cuando apareció Justin en el escenario para interpretar “4 Minutes” que gozó de una puesta en escena impecable.
El show continuó con una versión rock del éxito homosexual “Hung Up”, que comenzó con Madonna tocando unas notas del “Satisfaction” de Britney Spears los Rolling Stones y acabó con un olvido de la letra por parte de la tonadillera y la necesidad de meter un playback de relleno. Luego vino “Give it 2 me” y, para terminar, un una nueva versión de “Music” con bootleg incluído que nos ha fascinado.

Pero lo mejor es que lo veas: Todavía no se ha filtrado para descargar pero puedes ver el show en streaming aquí. Su voz suena peor que nunca, hacía tiempo que no cantaba tan mal, pero ¿qué importa?

Esther, estamos hartos de tu eterna pose de "soy rockera y molo mogollón"

Otra reseña:

Madonna’s promotional mini-concerts always serve as an introduction to her next reinvention. For her “Music” album she rode into town as a high-camp cowboy, complete with a black tank top that read “Britney Spears” across the chest. (Imagine the somber tone her tongue-in-cheek joke would take on now.) In support of her last album “Confessions on a Dance Floor,” she popped up at gay haunts like the defunct Misshapes in New York and G-A-Y club in London strutting around in her infamous purple leotard. So, what does the 32-minute set she performed at Roseland Ballroom last night tell us about Madge’s new wardrobe and current state of mind?

Having ditched her razor-sharp leotard in favor of bedazzled Adidas track pants — Material Spice? — Madonna took the stage in a look that resembled a tailored version of the baggy tracksuits that the paparazzi routinely snaps her schlepping to the gym in. No longer a feathered-hair disco diva that just happens to have a flawless body, this latest incarnation of Madonna is taking full ownership of her reputation as the world’s toughest gym bunny.

While hardly a groundbreaking aesthetic choice, it makes sense. As New York nightlife, once synonymous with transcendental exuberance, becomes a thing of the past, the most popular place to pump a dance floor anthem is no longer on the dance floor. One of the few destinations where a wide cross-section of the city goes to hear a mix of hip hop, techno, and house music 24/7 is the gym. Equinox is the new Paradise Garage, and Madonna — her finger firmly on the pulse monitor — knows it better than anyone.

The latest album “Hard Candy” is sophisticated workout music at its best. It’s music to sweat, tone, and squat to. And that’s exactly what she did last night. Whizzing through six songs (“Candy Shop”; “Miles Away”; “Hung Up”; “4 Minutes”; “Give It 2 Me” and “Music”) in just over a half hour is no easy feet. During her performance of her standout next single “Give It 2 Me,” a pulsating Madness-meets-Kelis track produced by Pharrell Williams, Madonna jumped up each time the chorus broke out with her hands stiffly above her head as if to perform a mid-air abs maneuver. “Don’t stop me now, don’t need to catch my breath,” she sang convincingly. It’s the type of mantra you might repeat to yourself when you’re desperate to reach that 1,000th crunch.

As expected, Madonna took care of her fans, many of whom waited for days outside the venue to score a ticket, and gave them everything they could have asked for: Justin Timberlake sang (and dry-humped) with her for “4 Minutes,” she flipped off the crowd the end of her heavy-metal take on “Hung Up,” and her body looks more impressive than ever. But still, watching Madonna clad in her glamorous exercise clothes run through the motions, I couldn’t help but feel like something was missing. Maybe that’s because the gym, unlike the disco, is not a place of total freedom. It’s a place of discipline and regimented routine. It’s the church of bodily control, not bodily freedom; a place to tone social norms rather than transcend them.

Thank god that Madonna still clings to the belief that dance music will set you free; but these days, she can’t seem to separate the music that helped define who she is as a person from the music that helps aid muscle definition. There’s something a little melancholy about that. You might feel great after leaving the gym, but it’s nothing compared to the sweet hangover from a night out dancing.

Muchas gracias por subir los videos! :grin:

La puesta en escena es muy buena, las coreografias (en especial la de Candy Shop) me gustaron mucho. Peeeero...lo que no me gusto esque desafinara un poco y aveses se escuchaba por atras la cancion original, y su voz no coordinaba mucho con la musica...nose, eso dejo bastante que desear [sorprendido]
Music quedo increible!!, tambien estoy de acuerdo con que esa version tiene que estar el tour si o si!
Hung Up con esa version Rock no me gusto, pero en fin, algo diferente, prefiero eso antes de que la cante con la version dance oooootra vez.
Miles Away, lindo lindo, una linda balada que quedo muy linda en vivo.
Candy Shop, concuerdo con que esta cancion gana muchiiiisimo mas en vivo!, la coreografia, la escenografia muy buena, una buen tema para abrir una gira creo yo!
4 minutes dejo mucho que desear, desafino muchisimo y la coreografia (si esque se puede llamar asi) no me gusto [sorprendido], se que le cuesta mucho cantar Hip hop en vivo...mm...eso traera problemas.
Give it 2 me, sin demasiadas sorpresas, como me la esperaba.

Me ha gustado mucho el concierto! Me gustaron todas las canciones menos Hung Up y tenia q haber metido Heartbeat! y Candy Shop gana muchisimo en directo! y Music esta muy bien también! me ha encantado la puesta en escena!

catena · Registrado: 09 May 2007 Mensajes: 42

yo me parto de risa cuando dice en candy shop lo de my sugar is raw que lo dice con una voz de camionero que da risa, la verdad que el tema gana mucho mas en directo, tanto que se ha convertido en uno de mis temas favoritos del album.

El miles away lo vi un poco soso ahi de pie con la dichosa guitarra.
El hung up rock supongo que la metera en la gira grande en el apartado de rock, si es que lo hay, a pesar del fallo tecnico pienso que esta version daria mucho juego en la gira.

Give it 2me no estuvo mal pero muy oscuro todo, espero que en la gira le de algunos retoques y que la deje para el final junto a music cuya reinvencion me ha gusstado mucho . ¿la metera en una seccion urbana de gente haciendo graffittis? [platano2]

y lo mejor del concierto 4 minutes. Esta me la imagino abriendo la segunda seccion de la gira.
