The Tour:
...Hours (click here) before her concert event, "Madonna: The MDNA Tour," airs June 22 on the EPIX network, the queen of reinventing herself invited 500 of her biggest fans to audition for a chance to work out with her, learning the movies the megastar uses to train for her mega-tours....
The tour until the last segments of the show is all done in contrast. Black and white contrast. There a less than five minutes during the body of the performance interspersed with red or orange. The colors are introduced for a reason.
But, the use of contrast rather than color creates a blending of performance and audience. She is completely in her element. She is passionate and engaged. When the performances are coming to conclusion she literally turns the microphone over to the audience to join her.
The performance turns up the house lights and adds lots and lots of color to bring everyone back to reality. She is quite the showman or in this case, show lady.
She is also a very interesting business woman. She sells her products in "local" currency to avoid inflated prices due to rate exchanges (click here).

[Spoken:]
Come on girls
Do you believe in love?
'Cause I got something to say about it
And it goes something like this
Don't go for second best baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know, you've got to
Make him express how he feels
And maybe then you'll know your love is real
You don't need diamond rings
Or eighteen karat gold
Fancy cars that go very fast
You know they never last, no, no
What you need is a big strong hand
To lift you to your higher ground
Make you feel like a queen on a throne
Make him love you till you can't come down
