Madonna wrapped her record-breaking Sticky & Sweet tour last night in Israel and introduced her teen daughter Lourdes Leon´s skills to the world. Lourdes “Lola” Leon played piano during Devil Wouldn´t Recognize You and danced with her mother in the final number Give It 2 Me. It looks like we have a star in the making…

See Lourdes Leon below:

Attended two Madonna shows this week, Sticky & Sweet in Tallinn, Estonia and two days later, Sticky & Sweet in Helsinki, Finland.
In Tallinn I finally saw Madonna up and close, and got to sing into her mic during Give It 2 Me. That was just AMAZING.

In Helsinki, there were 85 000 people, the biggest ever concert in the whole of Scandinavia. I was in the C section and could not see much, but the athmosphere was just wonderful. Just check it out below:

Lady Gaga is fierce.
I´m impressed after seeing her live show yesterday.
She´s got attitude and talent,
and best of all, excellent pop songs.
It´s intriguing to see what will become of her, will Lady Gaga be a big star like Madonna or is it even possible anymore in our fragmented media world?

The queen of pop started her Sticky and Sweet tour at the O2 Arena in London yesterday. See the tribute here>>

Britney Spears, the girl with the saddest eyes in the universe, the modern day Marilyn Monroe (such a natural talent yet so insecure inside), kicked off her tour Circus yesterday evening in New Orleans. Here are some clips from the opening night, Britney performs Womanizer and One More Time (she lipsynchs during the entire concert, there´s no live singing). She´s a little bit lost, but getting there!

Britney will start her Circus tour next Tuesday and rumours are that the show is going to be like big Cirque du Soleil high-tech circus. Can´t wait to experience it in London next June. While waiting for Britney´s Circus tour, here´s a great official dance remix of Circus by Villains.

I hope there´s a documentary coming! The cameras have been following Madonna throughout her Sticky and Sweet tour and here´re some clips:

Here´s the second part, it´s interesting to see the material from the rehearsals cut with the actual live show.

No Doubt is back with Gwen Stefani and going on a greatest hits tour. The band is promoting it in a very simple but creative way on their website, using what looks like Apple iChat and iPhone SMS interface. Go check it here  >>

No Doubt – Just a Girl:

Britney Spears joined Madonna on stage last night in Los Angeles. Britney really looks like a nice girl dressed in white shirt and black trousers. And according to Madonna, “She´s Not Your Bitch”.

Watch the video clip below and see Britney with Madonna on stage singing Human Nature. (There´s a rumour that Britney would be joining Madonna again in Las Vegas, because someone heard them rehearsing Gimme More together.)
