Madonna Nailed It (Naturally)

Last Saturday’s Live Earth concert at Wembley Stadium in the U.K. wrapped with a neat performance by Madonna.


Neat. Ha, ha. Fack, she was fan-frakkin’-tastic.

The Sunday Mirror reported the Queen of Pop “blew everyone else off the stage…closing with a finale that was just mind-blowing,” while Billboard.com said she “turned each song into a show-stopper in a vintage performance.”

As expected, she sang her especially written-for-the-event “Hey You,” backed by a children choir, and rocked out on guitar for a rousing rendition of “Ray of Light.”

“Lets hope tonight’s concert and the concerts going on around the world are not just about entertainment, but about starting a revolution around the world,” she told the audience. “If you want to save the planet let me see you jump!” (Copy that.)

She was joined by members of gypsy punks Gogol Bordello for a crazed hoedown version of “La Isla Bonita,” and finished with a cheeky and raucous crowd-pleasing version of “Hung Up.”

Now, that was very good….
