get lackluster reviews....

Madonna Star Of Live8.
2 Jul 2005 The star delivers a blistering performance.
The Queen of Pop sent over 200,000 Live 8 music fans into delirium this
evening, performing three souped-up versions of her biggest hits.
Before the hits though, we got a glimpse of Birhan Woldu, the child
featured in the 1985 Live Aid film, which touched the world. Recently
qualified as an agricultural student, Woldu was just weeks from death
when featured in '85, according to Geldof, who used her appearance as
an example of how just one life had been saved due to Live Aid. Taking
to the stage in a silver satin suit, Madonna was rousing, passionate
and demonstrated clearly why her 'Queen of Pop' tag is so deserved.
Opening with 'Like A Prayer', the star questioned the crowd 'Are you
ready to start a revolution!', 'Are you ready to change the world'.
Accompanying her was a full choir, also dressed white. By the time 'Ray
Of Light' and 'Music' came, the mix had changed into a bass-heavy
breakbeat hybrid, with a myriad of b-boy dancers invading the stage.
'Music' weighed in at six minutes running time, with an extended chorus
of 'Music, makes the people, come together' in which Madonna convinced
pretty much every one of Hyde Park's 200,000 crowd to clap along. The
15-minute set was received by many as the day's standout performance -
so far that is. Madonna also performed at the first Live Aid concert in
1985. Then, the set list included 'Holiday' and 'Into The Groove'.
Madonna: She's not the queen of pop for nothing. During Music, she got
everyone clapping in unison the way Freddie Mercury did in 1985. This
will be remembered as one of the Live 8 moments, with the crowd
desperate to worship her regal presence. 10/10
