Tour reviews
Music critics were not enthused:

her unsure pitch and thin, quavery vocal timbre made the held Download Power Menue
notes at the end of her phrases sound like they were crawling off somewhere to die."
Paul Grein, Billboard — "Cyndi Lauper will be around for a long time. Madonna will be out of business in six months. Her image has completely overshadowed her music."

was good and ... I always will meet up with a certain amount of controversy, robert palmer download a certain amount of opposition to what I'm doing."
