Music reviews of The Sticky & Sweet Tour CD/DVD
Music Review: 'Sticky & Sweet' one of Madonna's Best [DVD+CD REVIEW]
Rating: 4 Stars
As soon as Madonna's 2008 album Hard Candy was released it seemed like she set out on tour. After the giant spectacle that was the The Confessions Tour - Live from London (CD+DVD), it was curious to see how she'd top herself. The 'Sticky and Sweet Tour' is definitely different: compared to Madonna - Drowned World Tour 2001, Re-Invention and Confessions tours, this felt far more scaled down and a bit more intimate. Watching the DVD gives you the feeling and experience that Madonna put her best foot forward with this tour. While past tours felt more elaborate, complex and visually stunning, what makes 'Sticky and Sweet' stand out is the energy and vibe Madonna brought forth with this effort. In many ways, the tour is stripped down compared to past efforts: with the DVD, you'll see less graphics or editing done to make it more visually appealing (as happened with 'The Confessions Tour' where you had graphics overlaying the performances to give it a sleek, commercial feel) and for the first time since perhaps the 'Drowned World' or even Madonna - The Girlie Show (Live Down Under) tours, the DVD features Madonna front and center rather than distracting graphics and visuals.To me, it's the 'live' feel of the DVD, along with the mix of the music, the choreography and energy Madonna and her crew put into the show that makes this, and the DVD release, the best since 'The Girlie Show'.
The Good: This was the first DVD release/filming of a tour where it felt like Madonna was actually having fun and enjoying herself. The past releases of her tours (Drowned World, Confessions) featured a somewhat reserved Madonna who seemed nervous and as if she was putting all of her effort into hitting the moves and notes. Not so with 'Sticky and Sweet'. Madonna smiles, she really interacts with the audience, her dancing is by far the best it's been in years and her energy makes this feel less like a tour and more like a street party. What struck me as different with this tour was how Madonna seemed unhinged; gone was the serious tones and messages that seemed to riddle most of her past tours. The Madonna of his tour is far more edgier and sexualized, she curses, she actually performs dance choreography that rivals anything most younger pop stars are doing today, she goes from pop to rocking out on her guitar ... she just seems revitalized, happier and more into this tour than the past tours. Most of her tours are split into different themes, as is this one, but they contain one section that's a bit of a downer. Not so much with this tour as she finds a way to insert dance and excitement into each section, keeping the fun, light, pop atmosphere going throughout most of the tour rather than only having it in one section. The first section, the 'pimp' section, is probably the most fun as she effectively blends old hits like 'Human Nature' and 'Vogue', 'Into the Groove/Jump' with newer songs including 'Candy Shop' and 'Beat Goes On'. The middle section, or the 'gypsy' theme, isn't as dance orientated but the music is still upbeat and features her really breaking it down choreography wise in 'Spanish Lesson'. The last part, the 'rave' theme, ends the tour on an upbeat, dance, party/celebratory note. To me, the tour featured a nice spread of music from all of her albums and as usual most of the songs were given the remix treatment to make them fit this new party/club/dance theme which made even the old hits sound "shiny and new". I liked the filming of the tour as it gives you the feeling that you're actually there in the crowd and shows off the tour and choreography from some stunning angles.
The Bad: There were parts of the tour that lacked the excitement and enthusiasm that some of the best numbers received. For instance, '4 Minutes' just felt slapped together and entirely uninspired and lazy. The 'Hung Up' and 'Ray of Light' numbers felt old and ripped directly from 'The Confessions Tour' and as if they were just wasted numbers or should have been mixed to be different. The pace of the tour slows a bit when Madonna takes what seems like a break from the dancing and high energy and opts for standing on stage and 'strumming' her guitar during the Evita numbers, 'Borderline', 'Miles Away' numbers. If there's one area of the DVD release that I'd complain about it'd be the 'bonus' features, if you can call them that. First, there's the CD containing live cuts from the album. It seems like a missed opportunity not to include numbers like 'Die Another Day', 'Into the Groove/Jump' and 'Heartbeat' to name a few. And the biggest omissions? The numbers she added for the second leg of the tour like 'Frozen', 'Music/Michael Jackson Tribute', 'Dress You Up', 'Holiday' ... all were left off of the audio and DVD/Blu-Ray releases. This, I really have a hard time understanding. A lot of these numbers replaced the weaker numbers like 'Hung Up', and would have made a great bonus feature at least. Instead we're treated to 'behind the scenes' footage that doesn't really add anything to the tour or DVD experience. These numbers were what made the second leg of the tour really stand-out and should have been included and considering how much time has lapsed between the tour and the DVD release, it seems like more than enough time to incorporate these numbers either on the CD or as bonus footage. I'd also suggest purchasing the Sticky & Sweet Tour [Blu-ray], simply to get the tour in high-def and to get the most out of the experience visually and audio wise.
Despite the minor flaws, 'Sticky and Sweet' was definitely Madonna at her best. It reminded me a lot of 'The Girlie Show' with a Madonna who wasn't afraid to push a few buttons, make a few statements and curse and flaunt her sexuality. While 'The Confessions Tour' showed Madonna off as a pop star, this one felt more like Madonna doing all she could to earn her 'rock star' status after being inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. It's the first tour release in a while from Madonna that features her taking on real choreography, having fun and not feeling too concerned with her image or limitations. Definitely a tour worth owning.
