Madonna's Sticky & Sweet Tour: Part 2 officially hit the road, starting from O2 Arena in London, and revealing the long anticipated setlist, as well as concert changes. With a few wardrobe retouches, new song arrangements and different backdrops, it seems that the Bitch of Pop music will kindly stick to her original Sticky & Sweet concept, which might come as a disappointment to those who have already watched the first part. Nevertheless, she is in great shape, keeping up strong and highly professional. An addition to be noted is the inclusion of the Michael Jackson element that came at the very last moment in accordance to his still-to-be-cleared death. The setlist is a bit of a mess and to be honest I am not impressed. I knew that she was going to concentrate on the "Hard Candy" material, but this whole bunch of rearrangements and sampling is slowly going on my nerves. Another thing is the absolute exclusion of "Confessions On The Dance Floor", which, let's face it, brought her back to stardom after the doubtful success of "American Life". Anyways, more to come from the Bitch and be ready to get all sticky and sweet this summer!
