Madonna's second concert turned out to be a success after all the controversy in Russia and France for example. Nearly full Olympic stadium enjoyed the show despite nearly freezing temperatures once the sun set - what a contrast to her first ever Finnish concert almost exactly three years ago when it was still +25 at midnight after one of the hottest days in the century! I think the the Sticky tour's set was maybe better, more solid. This MDNA was a rather confusing package jumping from one atmosphere to another, and maybe missing real highlights. However, the opening and Masterpiece stood out, and nothing beats Like a prayer, especially when the stage is taken over by a full gospel choir.
Last time Madonna stayed in Helsinki almost a week and took the kids to swim in the sea. Today, she is still here and she took the kids to Linnanmäki amusement park. Nothing extra was asked for them and they were able to walk around and have fun like mortal commoners. She even took a ride in the roller coaster (built in 1950 of wood and still mainly original)! I have a feeling she likes it here!
