I love me some Madge, but homegirl has to yack all the time. Sometimes all ya gotta do is say "I did this 'cause I felt like it," and leave it at that. Anyways, this time she was yapping about how everyone hated her cross routine she did on her Confessions tour.
Says Queen Madge of Leotard: "There is a segment in my show where three of my dancers 'confess' or share harrowing experiences from their childhood that they ultimately overcame. My 'confession' follows and takes place on a Crucifix that I ultimately come down from. This is not a mocking of the church. It is no different than a person wearing a Cross or 'Taking Up the Cross' as it says in the Bible. My performance is neither anti-Christian, sacrilegious or blasphemous. Rather, it is my plea to the audience to encourage mankind to help one another and to see the world as a unified whole. I believe in my heart that if Jesus were alive today he would be doing the same thing.
"My specific intent is to bring attention to the millions of children in Africa who are dying every day, and are living without care, without medicine and without hope. I am asking people to open their hearts and minds to get involved in whatever way they can. The song ends with a quote from the Bible's Book of Matthew:
"'For I was hungry and you gave me food. I was naked and you gave me clothing. I was sick and you took care of me and God replied, "Whatever you did for the least of my brothers... you did it to me."'
"Please do not pass judgment without seeing my show."
What coming onstage strapped to a giant sparkly cross has to do with starving kids in Africa, I don't have an effing clue. And furthermore, didn't she get on the Africa kick AFTER the tour started? Hmm...
