BBC NEWS | Entertainment: "Madonna has launched her world tour in Los Angeles with a politically-charged and highly energetic show. Looking more toned than ever, the 45-year old performer belted out a string of her greatest hits including Into the Groove, Holiday, Vogue and Material Girl. Like A Prayer was a given a gospel treatment while Papa Don't Preach was reinvented with a Scottish lilt - complete with bagpipes and Madonna decked out in a swirling plaid kilt.
Madonna has toned down her sexually provocative performances of previous tours. There were no conical bra outfits or overt expressions of sexuality. Madonna's use of video images of war - bombs being dropped and injured children - distracted the eye from the singer's own performance.
"Who is Madonna to be offering her political views - she's just an entertainer. It's like the Pope starting a rock band."
