In 2004 Madonna undertook an extensive world tour - the Reinvention Tour - on the occasion of the album American Life, during which she also visited the Netherlands. The album was received with mixed reviews and was her least sold in years, but the tour was a huge success. In the two-hour documentary I'm Gonna Tell You A Secret by director Jonas Akerlund, Madonna is followed during this tour from
… the first preparations. This time too, Madonna comes across as an ambivalent personality, who can flirt showily with spirituality and at the same time swear like a boat worker. Once again it becomes clear that Madonna is a perfectionist, who is still firmly in control of her career. In addition to images from the show, there are many glimpses behind the scenes, including from her singing teacher, the dance rehearsals, and in the studio with her producer Stuart Price. The CD, which is proudly announced as her first ever live CD, features fourteen songs from the show. (MS)more
