New statistics show Queen of Pop is a bigger hit in South America

Madonna concerts in South America outsell rival Lady Gaga by three to one, according to latest statistics.
The statistic is even more embarrassing to Gaga as Madonna's 'MDNA' tour tickets are also three times more expensive than briefs for her 'Born This Way' world tour.
The Examiner reports that Lady Gaga's management used under-hand tactics, such as issuing buy-one-get-one-free deals to fans, in order to boost crowd numbers. The singer played in front of a crowd of 50,000 in Peru but only 17,000 tickets were sold.
However, Madonna played in the same venues on the South American leg of her worldwide 'MDNA' tour and managed to sell-out the stadiums without having to resort to issuing incentives to raise numbers.
The feuding pair have been at each others throats ever since Madonna claimed that Gaga's track 'Born This Way' sounded "familiar" to her 1989 hit 'Express Yourself'. Throughout this year's 'MDNA' tour, Madonna has mocked the similarities between the two songs by performing a mash-up of 'Express Yourself' and 'Born This Way' followed by a pointed snippet of a track called 'She's Not Me'.
During a show in Atlantic City in September, Madonna dedicated her song 'Masterpiece' to Gaga, before saying: "I love her. I love her. I do love her. Imitation is the highest form of flattery."
Last month, Madonna's famous conical bra was sold for $51,971 (£32,450) at auction. The iconic garment - which was made famous by the Queen of Pop during her 1990 Blonde Ambition tour - fetched twice its estimated price when it went under the hammer at a music memorabilia auction at Christie's.

Etelä-Amerikkalaiset ovat aina olleet uskollisia Madonna-faneja! Go S. America!!!
Kuinka moni on huomannut, että ylihuomenna, 22.12, on MDNA-kiertueen viimeinen keikka? Eli siis Córdobassa, Argentiinassa. Kylläpä aika menee nopeesti... :o

No on huomattu ja tuntuu hirveältä. Aika kuluu liian nopeesti. Sit ei taas yhtään tiedä milloin saa nähä Madonnan jälleen. Nyt jännittää et mitä keksii seuraavaksi.

^^Hieno homma, että Madonna teki show'n ja kiitteli faneja kärsivällisyydestä yms. puheessaan. Mutta ymmärrän kyllä monien konsertissa olleiden kiukkuisuuden tapahtuneesta. Koko eka osio jäi siis väliin?! Se oli varmaankin monelle konsertin paras kohta ja ne kuitenkin on maksnu isoja summia lipuista + venanneet siellä sateessa pitkään. Varmasti faneja ketuttaa mutta minkäpä Madonnakaan omalle sairastumiselleen saatika sateiselle kelille voi.
Madonna aloitti eilen Santiagossa Express Yourselfillä ja koko eka osio jäi väliin. Soundcheckissä ilmeisen flunssainen ja kiukkuinen Madonna:
madonna ei kyllä näytä kovin terveeltä, joten todellakin ymmärrettävää että hermot menee ihmisten tupakointiin jos muutenkin vaikeaa laulaa kipeänä... olisin sanonut ihan samalla tavalla.

Madonnan tyyli taitaa olla, että jos ei voida tehdä täysillä, ei tehdä sitten ollenkaan. Kai silti vähemmän koreografioidun ykkösosion esittäminen olisi silti ollut reilumpaa kuin, että se jätetään kokonaan pois. Ainakin itse olisin ollut todella tuohtunut asiasta.

Madonna suivaantui faneille: Jos poltatte tupakkaa, lopetan esiintymisen

Madonna oli päästänyt faneja seuraaman souncheckiään Santiagossa Chilessä. Tähti suivaantui, kun yleisössä poltettiin savukkeita.
Tähti oli päästänyt suuren määrän omistautuneita faneja seuraamaan soundcheckiään. YouTubesta löytyvällä videolla Madonna astelee lavalla sadetakissa ja kesken Human Nature -biisin hän keskeyttää esityksen toruakseen faneja.
- Kuka polttaa tupakkaa? Missä he tupakoivat? Ei saa polttaa! Jos poltatte tupakkaa, lopetan esiintymisen. Jos ette välitä minusta, minä en välitä teistä. Haluatteko pelata sitä peliä? En vitsaile! En voi laulaa, jos te poltatte, Madonna soimasi.
Popin kuningatar jatkoi paasaustaan perustellen, jos fanit rakastavat häntä, he eivät tupakoi. Tässä kohtaa Madonna myös huomasi missä kohtaa yleisössä tupakkaa poltettiin.
- Katsot suoraan minuun ja poltat edelleen! Katsot minua kuin olisin tyhmä idiootti, Madonna soimasi fania.
