Review of her concert in Usce.

The popular singer Madonna held a spectacular concert Usce last night and delighted over 30,000 fans. Once again her two-hour party in Belgrade justified her status of the pop-queen.

The concert was late for more than one hour. According to the concert organizers, the reason was that “Madonna wanted to additionally heat up the atmosphere and make the audience wait for her performance with even greater impatience.”
Exactly at 10.03 PM, the lights on the stage are on, thousands of mobile phones shine in the dark and Madonna appears on the stage on her throne and the concert starts with the song “Candy Shop”.
“All right Serbia, this is what I am talking about,” shouts the American singer and starts singing “Beat Goes On,” while the audience greets her with standing ovations as she appears in a white old-timer.
“Are you ready? I am asking you, are you ready?” she addressed the audience with the first lines of the song “Human Nature”. Her song “Vogue” ended the first segment of her concert, after which she went backstage to change her clothes to return dressed as a cheerleader. The audience quiet at the beginning started waking up with the song “Holyday”, while the atmosphere reached its peak with her song “She’s Not Me” and Madonna kissed one of the dancers.
The best description of the concert would be: perfectly practiced routine. However, when it comes to Madonna’s concert, everything is clear. We expected a visual spectacle, a great party with numerous dancers on the stage, the change of rhythm, new versions of old hits using different samples, from “Sex Pistols” to Michael Jackson, etc. We also expected Madonna’s moving around the stage, poll dancing and that is what we got. Of course we didn’t expect to hear her outstanding vocals, because it was never her strength. However, her show in Belgrade is worthy of praise and being at Usce last night was an amazing experience. This is the first time that the pop-queen visited Serbia, which seemed as a sheer fantasy several years ago.
“Let me see you… mother****er,” shouted Madonna and started singing her hit “Ray of Light“. She finished the concert with series of hits, such as “4 Minutes”, “Like a Prayer“, “Give it 2 me“. While music was slowly fading in the background, Madonna went off the stage, greeted the fans from the first rows and sang the final lines with them.
“Then you Belgrade, good night,” she greeted the audience at the end of the concert exactly at midnight.
