The Round Table

Our favorite Material Girl, Madonna, will unleash her recent “Sticky & Sweet” tour on DVD to the masses on March 30th. Yup, that means Madge will rake in even more cash for the already highly successful tour, which reportedly was on of the biggest outings ever mounted by a solo act.

It will be available on DVD, Blu-Ray and CD and will include many of the singer’s hits spanning the course of her 20+ year career including “4 Minutes,” “Like a Prayer,” “Hung Up” and “Ray of Light”. The DVD footage was filmed in Buenos Aires, over four days to a crowd exceeding 256,000 fans, the concert also includes a show stopping moment when Madonna performs a historic “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” to a thunderous audience response from her Argentine fans. The DVD also includes 30 minutes of exclusive footage filmed behind the scenes during the course of the tour. Yippee.

Still want more? Reportedly, VH1 plans to premiere the concert in early February. You’ll want to stay tuned for more details.

Miss Janet is back with a new video for her single “Make Me,” off the her latest release Number Ones, a two-disc compilation of her greatest hits spanning her 20 year career. The video premiered Friday night during ABC’s 20/20 – and now we have it for you. One thing is for sure, Janet’s still got it – watch her work it out with her newest crop of dancers. Check it out below and let us know what you think. Don’t forget to watch Janet open the AMA’s this Sunday with an 8-minute medley of some of her greatest hits.

I’m having a Jerry Maguire moment. Ya know – one of those days where you can’t take being beat down by the same nonsensical bullsh-t anymore and have to speak up.

Let me preface this by saying I am NOT a Madonna fan. I grew up with her music, yes, and over time I came to respect her as an artist, but I am in no way a “fan.” That’s important to know.

Moving forward. There has been a lot of discussion as to Lady Gaga and how “genius” she is. Everything ranging from “she so brilliant she writes songs in 4 minutes” to “she’s a fashion icon” to “she’s the new queen of pop.”

I’m sorry, but who anointed her “the new queen of pop.” Seems a bit premature to dub someone Madonna’s title when at the age of 50, Madonna’s still kicking hard, creating music for the masses, and selling out arenas at $400 a ticket. Again, I’m not a fan, but I can recognize the difference between someone who changes music (heck even the world’s perceptions through music) than a low rent impostor like Gaga.
