I want to turn the world into one big dance floor Madonna exclaimed before she kicked off her amazing 2006 Confessions tour.
And with the electric, 25-show, highest-ever grossing tour for a female artist Madonna was true to her word. Lucky for Madonna fans everywhere, The Material Girl had the foresight to record the show at Wembley Arena. The result - a 34-song extravaganza that spans the entire career of the 49-year-old star, who is still going strong. The Confessions DVD Madonna Tour is due out January 30, 2007, certain to be very incredible at least according to the overwhelmingly positive response to the jam-packed shows that played North America, Europe and ended with a few dates in Japan.
Reported the Orange County Register: " The pop spectacle of the year - a politically charged combination of Cirque du Soleil performance-art commentary and dance party explosion that more or less sums up everything she has been striving to say and show this decade... it's quite possibly the best production she's ever concocted."

The buzz certainly hasn't died down since the end of the tour, as rabid fans can't wait to get their hands on the Madonna Confessions DVD - the next best thing to being there.
Madonna Louise Ciccone was born in Bay City, Michigan, in 1958. One of six children, Madonna learned, at an early age, about responsibility and being strong, when her mother died of breast cancer at the age of 30 in 1963.
Madonna attended the University of Michigan on a dance scholarship. In 1977, Madonna dropped out of college and, with only thirty-five dollars in her pocket, she headed for New York City. She worked as a waitress at a Dunkin' Donuts and with some dance troupes.
In 1979, she founded her first rock band, The Breakfast Club, where she sang, played drums and guitar. In 1980, Madonna founded the band, Emmy, with drummer Stephen Bray. The music of Emmy came to attention of Sire Records founder, Seymour Stein, who signed Madonna to a contract and released her first single, "Everybody" in 1982 which didn't crack Billboard's Top 100 chart. Neither did her second single, "Burning Up." But her third single, "Holiday" went Top 20 and there was no looking back.
On the charts, as of this date, Madonna has made it to Billboard's Weekly Top 40 Charts 48 times and she's topped the charts 13 times, placing her third behind The Beatles (20) and Elvis Presley (18) with the most number one singles.
