Indeed, in drumming up buzz for her delayed world outing – kicking off in 6 weeks – the diva lent a behind-the-scenes peek at what fans should expect from the highly anticipated show.  What they may have not been anticipating, however, was a peek at some pole-dancing nuns.

Apparently, fans have heard enough – especially since she left this year’s ‘Cisco Rocks’ concert in ashes after delivering a scorching hourlong performance of some of her top hits.  Sending supporters into a frenzy, the #Fighters collectively set Twitter alight to motion for a new tour from the Grammy winner to coincide with her next release.

She’s still got it…and “it” in abundance.  The question now becomes:  will she answer her fans’ call?
