Like a Ray of Music
Ten concerts, 150 artists, 1 million spectators, 2 billion viewers, with One Message:
MAKE POVERTY HISTORY . . . !
Live5
Five TV sets, Five venues, Five Fans, focused on one woman:
MADONNA!
The night we had been waiting for the past few weeks had arrived and it sure was worth the wait!
The Live5 a.k.a. MADONNiAcs AJ, Francis, Elgin, Victor and myself initially planned to have our own Live8 party to watch together the much anticipated performance of our goddess, MADONNA. The get-together may not have pushed through, but thanks to mobile technology, we still got connected while we watched the concert in the comforts of our homes.
To say that MADONNA's performance was perfection would be an understatement. It was Her MADGEsty in her best element!
Her rendition of her classic hits Like a Prayer, Ray of Light and Music will now be placed at the top of the list of her most unforgettable stage performances. It was a clear indication of how much she has evolved in 20 years for unlike her Live Aid stint in 1985, she delivered her songs with such confidence, conviction and most evidently, ATTITUDE.
Her total command over her audience was also highlighted by the overwhelming participation of the crowd as they sang along with MUSIC's main mantra, Music makes the people come together! As AJ has put it, the song has taken on a deeper meaning.
It has been days since the concert but I am still reeling from the experience. I am still obsessed by how amazing her screech was in Ray of Light! She pulled it off as only a true Queen of Pop could.
I do wish that MADONNA's efforts, along with the hundreds of artists in Live8 would not be in vain. It is about time to MAKE POVERTY HISTORY!
MADONNA

you're forgetting the most important thing...the reason why she's supporting this cause (it'a also anti-poverty and an AIDS cause). the organization is called "ONE" and you can sign up to help the cause at www.one.org. the most interesting thing is the group DOES NOT want your money (although it'll take donations). it does want your voice in getting your own country and government to acknowledge and help with poverty, famine and AIDS.
