The Confessions Tour (album)

Following the 2006 live release I'm Going to Tell You a Secret, Madonna released her second live album, The Confessions Tour. The album was recorded at Wembley Arena on August 15 and 16, 2006, during the London stop of her 2006 Confessions Tour, which was promoting her 2005 studio album Confessions on a Dance Floor. It was the first release from her new production company, Semtex Films{{Cite book|last=Bianco|first=Giovanni|title=Confessions Tour DVD Booklet|year=2006|publisher=Warner Bros.

The DVD release consists of the full twenty-one song set list of the tour, while the CD captures thirteen highlights from the same. The tour was first shown on NBC during the Thanksgiving of 2006. This broadcast was edited, cutting the likes of "Paradise (Not For Me)" and heavily editing the performance of "Live to Tell".{{cite magazine|url=https://variety.com/2006/music/markets-festivals/nbc-edits-madonna-spec-1117952319/|last=Schneider|first= Michael|title=NBC edits Madonna spec|date=October 9, 2006|magazine=Variety|access-date=January 13, 2018}} Madonna's performance of the latter, while hanging from a glass embellished crucifix and wearing a crown made of thorns on her head, faced strong reaction from the media and religious groups. Asian media and services company Fridae reported that the album was banned in Singapore, Malaysia and parts of East Asia, because of the inclusion of the performances in the DVD.{{cite news|url=http://www.fridae.asia/gay-news/2007/02/06/1783.singapore-bans-madonnas-confessions-tour-dvd-for-mock-crucifixion-scene|title=Singapore bans Madonna's Confessions Tour DVD for mock-crucifixion scene|date=February 6, 2007|publisher=Fridae|access-date=October 13, 2009}}

Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic felt that the CD version of the album was "not all that much fun to hear, even if the reinterpretations of the 20-year-old hits are interesting. The DVD doesn't feel as cold thanks entirely to the pizzazz of the visuals and the determined efficiency of the show, but even so, this is primarily of interest to the diehards who don't mind purchasing another live CD/DVD set just a year after the first." Ed Gonzalez from Slant Magazine felt that the concert finale in the album "is a reminder that Madonna's music need not be motivated by sex or politics to be good as long as it displays a smidgen of heart and soul." Thomas Inskeep from Stylus Magazine also complimented the finale of the tour. According to him, "[The Confessions Tour] is almost exclusively up-tempo, staged within an inch of its life yet more vivacious than anything she's done in years. Its CD companion is a pared-down 13 tracks taken from the live show, and good God it smokes." However, he felt that the disc loses its momentum during the "Confessions" part, which demonstrates a trio of individuals confessing about their sufferings in life.

Jody Rosen from Entertainment Weekly commented that "Madonna must be seen as well as heard, as the video portion of this CD/DVD proves". Chuck Campbell from Quad-City Times said "the CD is handy, blocking out the DVD's distracting images so fans can concentrate on the music at the heart of Madonna's success". He further describes that the CD/DVD combo "fills in the blanks left by I'm Going to Tell You a Secret".{{cite web|url=https://qctimes.com/entertainment/music/music-reviews/article_21d2625a-90c1-5072-b5b8-c04ed9548fb5.html|title=Music Review: "THE CONFESSIONS TOUR," Madonna (Warner Bros.)|first=Chuck|last=Campbell|work=Quad-City Times|date=February 15, 2007|access-date=September 7, 2022|url-access=subscription|archive-date=September 7, 2022|archive-url=https://archive.today/20220907061630/https://qctimes.com/entertainment/music/music-reviews/article_21d2625a-90c1-5072-b5b8-c04ed9548fb5.html}}

Tom Young from BBC Music said that he did not see the actual performances on the tour and felt that "some of the magnitude of the performance is lost and the track/scene changes appear needlessly long-winded. [...] As far as live albums go, this is a job well done." Stephen M. Deusner from Pitchfork gave a negative review for the album, stating "Madonna herself is mostly to blame. On stage, she draws from a deep well of amazing pop songs and has the money and power to reinvent this sort of traveling circus. So why not try to break down the wall between performance and audience and hold a gigantic rave? [...] Åkerlund gives you everything you don't want from a concert film: incessant quick cuts that you give you no sense of space or stage, overdubbed music and vocals that give you no sense of performance, and only a few shots of the audience to gauge their excitement." Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu commented that "Madonna pulls out all stops in this effort turn the world into a dance floor and one just has to doff one's hat to her energy."{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/mp/2007/05/28/stories/2007052851540300.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070611222951/http://www.hindu.com/mp/2007/05/28/stories/2007052851540300.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 11, 2007|title=Madonna – The Confessions Tour|last=Anthikad-Chhibber|first=Mini|date=May 28, 2007|work=The Hindu|access-date=October 14, 2009}} At the 50th Grammy Awards held on February 10, 2008, at Staples Center in Los Angeles, The Confessions Tour won in the category of Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video.{{cite news|url=https://www.today.com/popculture/winners-50th-annual-grammy-awards-wbna23101297|title=Amy Winehouse dominates with 5 awards, Kanye West takes 4|agency=Associated Press|date=February 10, 2008|work=National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences|publisher=Today.com|access-date=October 14, 2009}}
