Madonna does her part to speed up global warming

Madonna’s white-suited Live8 performance, with its gospel choir, emotional tribute to Birhan Woldu and a whole lotta F-bombs, was one of that event’s most memorable moments. At Live Earth, the Material Mom opted for black silk, Spandex, her incomparable decollete and a decidedly cleaner mouth.

A choir of English schoolchildren backed her as she sang Hey You, the environmentally conscious anthem that’s served as the global climate event’s official theme song. Her Hives-lookalike dancers vogued as she took over axe-shredding duties on a punched-up version of Ray of Light–

With the impressionable kids tucked safely backstage, Madge donned a fedora and kicked out a steamy, sexed-up rendition of La Isla Bonita, featuring Gypsy-punks Gogol Bordello.

Going out in true diva style, Madonna discarded her skirt, hopped on a stripper pole and hustled her way back to the disco, as she and her bevy of nubile dancers performed ‘Hung Up’ to bring Live Earth London to a sweaty close.
