Do you remember the scene where Madonna appears on stage on a glittering
cross and strikes a crucifixion pose. Well it was very controversial to a few people and Madonna is trying to give her explanation. After her record breaking confessions world tour ended in Japan Madonna explained her idea of coming with the cross. She explained
I am very grateful that my show was so well received all over the world. But there seems to be many misinterpretations about my appearance on the cross and I wanted to explain it myself once and for all.
“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 nor 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.”
Madonna concludes the statement by asking of critics, “Please do not pass judgment without seeing my show.”
Guess it doesn’t have a controversial side to it at all people just misunderstood her. Well it is like social service and people must pick up their own crosses. Hey they are definitely two thumbs up for you Madonna.
