# Talk:The Girlie Show (concert tour)

I think the London support act was "Tony! Toni! Tone!" but I may be wrong.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.166.250 (talk) 19:04, 1 February 2010 (UTC) 

I've reverted good faith edits by User:Megagia who is trying to change the boxscore numbers from 50,000 to 90,000 for Tel Aviv. The current 50,000 number is supported by this source: [1] I don't know how reliable that is. User:Megagia seems to be citing "TV Sorrisi e Canzoni", but without a link, so it's hard to know how reliable or verifiable that is. I found this link: [2] which seems to mention the show, but as far as I can tell, doesn't mention the number 90,000. I don't speak Italian though.--BelovedFreak 11:29, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
The Girlie Show is the second Madonna  tour I followed step by step. The Italian magazine TV Sorrisi e Canzoni made a special concert article from Tel Aviv, reporting the selling of 90,000 tickets. Unfortunately there is not a digital version of this Article but only on paper. The source you reported of 50,000 spectators is a consequence of the tour in 2009 that totals 50,000 admissions and suppose that the same date of Tel-Aviv had the same audience.--Megagia (talk) 14:57, 25 April 2010 (UTC)


### Aussie boxscore
Is it possible to use this [3] as source?--Megagia (talk) 07:58, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

All Boxscore should be from Billboard only. I will check Billboard magazines and revert these incorrect values. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 09:22, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
I did on google books but I didn't find anything. What about, the sources, I put on for Montreal and Melbourne concerts?--Megagia (talk) 10:23, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
Here's something interest:
Girlie Tour collected 360 000 tickets in Aussie and $70 million, by Billboard:

Frankfurt is in the list - that's wrong! The concert was planned, but was cancelled shortly before the show was! 1993 was no german concert!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.182.4.109 (talk) 20:17, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Technically the concert tours of Madonna (The Girlie Show) & Michael Jackson are credited to help in introduce multimillion and international concerts (or change their live music) in Brazil and Mexico:

Despite the controversy, her concert and "incident" with the Puerto Rican flag has generated more texts in literature rather than only "controversy" itself. In De Albizu a Madonna: Para armar y desarmar la nacionalidad (PDF preview) has been described as "una historia que no tiene paralelo en el imaginario del país" (could be translated as: a story that has no parallel in the imaginary of the country). Scholar Frances Negrón-Muntaner also in her book Boricua Pop: Puerto Ricans and the Latinization of American Culture (2004) talked about this incident, mainly her relationship with Puerto Ricans and said in her section "Flaggin Madonna" that "[...] highlighted how Madonna's text has also served a boricua subaltern politics, particularly in the Island context" (pag 160)
