Seriously, what is wrong with the woman? Does she forget she's got concerts to go to or something?

Can't stand her. She just seems to think she can turn up when she wants because she's an 'icon':yawn: enough already!

She makes a habbit of doing this.

The three times i've seen her she was late on all occasions.
...and not just minutes either and due to her magesty being late I missed my train.

Drowned World she was late by half an hour, and the for RIT she didn't come on until 8:35.
Confessions was even worse, she didn't come on stage until 8:50.

I didnt bother with Sticky and Sweet.

Not to be rude to any of her fans or anything, but why does anyone stil bother to pay their hard earned cash to go and see this complete joke for a 'performer' while she mimes and make statements that even a 10yr old would consider naive and immature.

Long wait or not, it's not as if you can look forward to a decent musical performance from this mime artist, is it? Personally it worries me that some people see her as some sort of 'icon' frankly.

Well that's your opinion, but I think she's great...or should I say was?

Ah, there'll always be negative nancies in the world ready to pounce at the first available opportunity. Thankfully, theres millions and millions of happy fans who dont really care that she turns up late because they know theyre going to get one of the tightest and most professional show on earth.

Well you should care! What right has she got to make fans who paid over £100 for a ticket wait hours for her to turn up?

I love Madonna, huge huge fan... but i am still to see her live. Aside from her extortionate ticket prices she always comes across really cold and distant in her live performances.

I did plan on seeing Sticky and Sweet, but i refused to pay out that much money. I saw Pink in London in May and it was hands down the best show i'd ever seen and it was only £40. I'm suprised M can get away with it (although didn't she cancel a Manchester show due to low ticket sales )

She's always late for shows and DS have (as usual) exagerrated and reported it inaccurately. She's wasn't an hour late at all and there was just a few boos because she was a bit let but certainly not widespread and she was on excellent form and put on a fantastic show and nobody left disappointed. DS really are getting poor with their inaccurate news stories

Love her music, but the videos of her shouting obscenities like a man in her performances really put me off

It was cancelled because they overbooked her dates. If she had played the 2nd Manc show she would be doing 3 nights in a row and she refused

She's the most successful solo touring artist ever so many people disagree and she doesn't just 'mime'. Her shows are fantastic

How late was she then? And why does she think it's ok to be late for virtually every performance she does?

How many people missed trains or had to leave early because she was late? I know it was in the thousands in Cardiff.

Nearly EVERY performer is late on stage. When you are an artist you cannot perform until you are 100% in the zone. Its not something you can turn on and off like a tap.

Are they? Not at concerts I go to they're not. She knows what time she is due on.

Good job Bruce Springsteen was 'in the zone' on time at Glastonbury then, else he would have only had time for his encore and not the main set.

Yes and for the heat to be turned on! She does this at all her arena concerts. I've seen all shows except this one and the heat was unbearable every time. I'm talking sweltering hot with the sweat dripping off everyone and this in the middle of a scorching summers day!

My mate mum went Sunday and said she was fantastic, and she said the o2 arena was much better then the wembely stadium, I say she uses the o2 next time and book 8 nights like britney did as the o2 is great where ever you sit.

It always amuses me how people think an entertainer can dance and leap about and still maintain on point vocals.....

ITS IMPOSSIBLE PEOPLE, you know what your getting when you go to see a show that contains energetic choreography, they have to mime, nobody can do otherwise.

and paying £100 to see Madonna? so what, people pay £500 to watch Barbara Streisand stand still and sing, they also know what they are getting, a vocal masterclass.

Er.....Beyonce manages it does she not?

Time was when a performer would dance when he/she wasn't singing and vice versa ie. James Brown.

If the choreography is only possible to pull off at the expense of the singing then isn't that just bad choreography? I guess modern pop is also very vocal heavy for various reasons so that makes it doubly impossible to perform live! Ah hell! It was all better in my day!! Grumble grumble . . . .

Far from impossible, difficult but not impossible. And when they are getting £100 a ticket of someones hard earned who are expecting them to sing live then they should try damn hard.

As the person above me states Beyonce manages it, as does Justin Timberlake and he moves a lot more than Madonna, as does Usher and he manages to sing LIVE at LIVE concerts. Dizzee Rascal etc, The list is endless of performers who can sing live and still dance.

Im getting bored of the whole you cant dance and sing live, its impossible excuse. If you cant do it then dont charge stupid amounts for tickets as you are not giving the ticket holder the full show. Madonna and Britney both major culprits.
