The Queen of Pop gave a free concert this past weekend in Brazil. People packed Copacabana Beach in Rio De Janeiro, and watched from nearby apartments, hotels and boats anchored offshore. It was the biggest concert of Madonna's 40-year career. Rio authorities estimated that the concert would bring in millions for the city and fill nearly every hotel room.
