Madonna´s Concert in Madrid!

Last night (July 23th. 2009) took place a Madonna´s concert at Vicente Calderón Stadium in Madrid.

From the moment they started to sell the tickets, everybody said they were so expensive (between 96 to 400 Euros) and I really don´t know if that was the point or maybe that it´s summer (but I remember Madrid Rock in Rio of last year and being summer wasn´t a problem to make the place to be completely full), but wondering, the stadium was just 3/4 full.

A speciall presence: Infanta Elena was part of the VIP public, but they took her by the normal public stands (that was unnecessary as far as I remember) and the public received her with a lot of applauses and camera flashes.

I really enjoyed a lot the concert (even after a guard told me that I shouldn´t take more videos or I´ll be in troubles) :/ and the music selection for the concert was quite ok for me... and I should tell: Wow! What an energy, muscles and resistance the diva has!

Here some videos of the concert: (really sorry about the sound quality, I didn´t know how the power of the concert sound would affect the record… and been honest I really have no idea about how to prevent it next time).



Here with the white limo at the stage:



Here celebrating: ;P



Here skipping the rope:



The time for saving the word is almost over!





Here clamming our right for a holiday! ;P (We need a holidaaaayyyy):



The moment of Michael Jackson Tribute:



Let´s continue with a bit of "Music":



And I´m finishing with a bit of “Like a Prayer”:



Of course there were more! But I´m afraid I´m taking the videos with a photo camera and the card gets full so soon! :( (Yes, to buy one more is planned…).

I really liked the concert, maybe I already got the habit of knowing that when the diva puts “Game Over” at the screens it means exactly that: it´s over! No way to encore for more and her public, that knows her, not even claim it. I´m also ok with the included songs and the performance, even after watching something that pretended to be a Flamenco dance but actually it was tap (that I like, but at least not to do it with something alike Flamenco music and a man dressed trying to simulate, and I insist, to simulate, being a Flamenco´s dancer… I think someone should give her a bit of advised about the country customs she tries to present before making it wrong). Or the moment when she pretended us to know the meaning of a Rumanian phrase just because “both are Latin languages”… Anyway! I went out really happy of the concert! :D

Music is my Life! (Second Part)

So, of course I was a fan of the typical Pop Stars: Madonna, Michel Jackson (with him I discovered that I can admire the art of a person no matters what I think about that person), The Police, Kylie Minogue, Eros Ramazzoti, Dido, Robbie Williams, Spandau Ballet… etc, etc, etc!

Actually other of my hymns was:



Other great one:



I always hear commercial music, I´m not anchored on 80´s or 90´s music just due my adolescence was then. While I was single I use to say: “in music, men and food, I´m veeeeeeeeery ooooopen mind!” ;) It doesn´t mean I like everything, but talking about music, for having as background sound or for dancing, I prefer last hits music. The radio stations I hear:

40 Principales is the one I usually hear. I don´t think it´s the greatest one I had ever hear, actually maybe I would take out of their program more than the half of what they have, but is the one I tolerate better.

Maxima F.M. is the one I prefer for taking a shower, for example… or before going out a Saturday night. You see? It´s interesting, but it´s quite easy to hear Dance music, there are a lot of “oldies” that someone just had ad a bit of speed and some “Dance music effects” and voila! A new hit had born! Here an example of that:



Europa F.M. is like the one nobody will complain to hear while travelling by car. Or sometimes just to remind good oldies, btw time to time they also play some lately hits.

Kiss F.M. should I explain this one? ;)

Otoh: I also appreciate other kind of music, like José Luis Perales, Mercedes Sosa or Serrat, for example... and there are moments when I do need to hear something from Enya or Yanni, that btw I would love to go to one of his concerts, but as far as it´s not possible right now, at least let´s enjoy him in youtube! ; )


Wow! What a nice voice he has! It´s a pity he doesn´t sing.

And yes, I also like some Tropical Music, just that here I usually like an specific song, not all the production of a group or singer, maybe the only one exception of this is Juan Luis Guerra, I even had been several times in his concerts and I just love his music…

Here my JLG favorite song:



I also love this one from Marc Anthony:



I should say I´m not exactly one of his fans (actually that´s his only one song that I know the name), but that song is great!

This is a song that I should dance every time I hear it!


(I swear I liked the song before watching the video!!) :D
