Madonna's Sticky & Sweet Tour Started

Madonna's Sticky & Sweet Tour started yesterday at the Millennium Stadium in the Welsh city of Cardiff. Madonna knows how to have good shows and she needs a lot of things to do it. During the opening of her “Sticky and Sweet” tour in the UK Saturday evening, she went trough three racks of clothing and $1.85 million worth of Swarovski crystals. The production involved over 600 hours of rehearsal time along with a 250-person entourage (including a chiropractor, personal trainer and masseuse) - enough to fill a passenger jet. Madonna employed 36 designers to create the 3,500 separate items of clothing that she used in the show. The show included included eight costume changes. Pharrell Williams, Kanye West and Britney Spears appeared in video clips. Britney was stuck on an elevator whispering the lines “express yourself, don’t repress yourself” and ends by saying in the end of the video, the Gimme more first line, “It’s Britney, b****.” The show's setlist was:

1. "Candy Shop"
2. "Beat Goes On"
3. "Human Nature"
4. "Vogue"
5. "Die Another Day Remix" (Video Interlude)
6. "Into the Groove"
