Madonna Concert Special Fails To Score Ratings

The controversial broadcast of Madonna's CONFESSIONS tour special on US TV failed to lure viewers and ended up finishing fourth in its time slot.
US network NBC made headlines when it censored the concert and refused to broadcast controversial footage of the pop star hanging from a crucifix during one of her songs.
The special MADONNA: CONFESSIONS TOUR was broadcast on Wednesday (22NOV06), the night before Thanksgiving, and failed to find an audience.
Among those shows beating Madonna were CBS drama JERICHO, ABC's SHOW ME THE MONEY and Fox broadcasting of the movie CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN.

My2cents why don'y you go back to Dlisted. Yes I know it's you. How sad are you to always bitch about Madonna, saying how much you hate her. Now you even do it on other sites. That is very, VERY sad.

Yes, I absoltely think that Madonna is a role model. If my doughter at the age of 50, is married with kids, has a great amount of wealth that is used for tons of charities, and has faith than I will be more than happy. Regardless of how Madonna acts on stage, in real life she is a woman of integrity, values, and truth. She seems to be an amazing mother dedicated to family. She has a passion for what she does and she is a paragon to all us who believe and have dreams and know that some ordinary folks can reach those dreams. I truly think she is a woman of valor.

Funny how this article doesn't mention all ratings were down that day. The reason for that is because it's the day before Thanksgiving and many people travel in the USA on that day.Funny how this article doesn't mention Madonna ended in 3rd place with her concert in the rating charts. Is that bad? I don't think so.Funny how this article doesn't mention 40 NBC stations refused to air the concert. So a big part of America couldn't see it.Madonna sold 8 million coppies of her last album. 'Hung Up' went number 1 in 29 countries. 'Sorry' number 1 in 15 countries. Her tour is the most succesfull tour by any female artist ever. She ended on the 3rd place on Billboards list of best selling albums of 2005. Mariah Carey(2) and Coldplay(1) were above her. She ended at number 2 on the European charts for best selling albums. James Blunt was 1 and Robbie Williams 3.She is far from over. I know people like to call her old and a has been but maybe the people that say that need to look at the FACTS before saying that.
