  1. It's hardly fair to include unreleased stuff - as she's said, those things are unreleased for a reason. However, from the stuff that's officially been released....

  2. Britney Spears 'wants own Glee episode'

    Britney Spears is reportedly hoping for an episode of Glee based on her songs.

    An edition of the show featuring nine Madonna tracks aired in the US earlier this week and the cast is releasing an EP of the cover versions.

    Spears's manager Adam Leber has now asked fans whether they would like a Britney episode.

    Writing on Twitter, he said: "Do you guys want to see a Britney Spears episode of GLEE? Thoughts?"

    Meanwhile, Us Weekly reports that the 'hashtag' Leber invented, #BritneySpearsGlee, began trending.

    Glee creator Ryan Murphy recently confirmed that he is planning another Madonna episode.

  3. As I've said before, Madonna will be seen as the precursor to Lady Gaga :bow: just as Debbie Harry was seen as the precursor to Madonna. Someone ALWAYS comes along and takes things to a new level. Madonna had a good run but she became too complacent due to the lack of serious competition and as Liz Smith says, at 51 it would be ridiculous for her to try and compete now.

  4. Madonna: 'Sticky & Sweet Tour'

    Released on Monday, March 22 2010

    By Mayer Nissim, Entertainment Reporter

    Another Madonna tour, another live CD/DVD package on the shelves. Following the groove set by I'm Going To Tell You A Secret (from the American Life-pimping Re-Invention tour) and The Confessions Tour (unsurprisingly showcasing tracks from her Confessions On A Dance Floor record), it's abundantly clear that Madonna is yet again set on spotlighting the here-and-now. Well, the Argentina and two-years-ago anyway - with the setlist from these December '08 gigs naturally heavy on tracks from that year's Hard Candy LP. To be fair, the DVD offers a fair sprinkling of career-spanning delights, from the ridiculous (a Ciccone-guitar-wielding 'Borderline' and skipping rope/pole-dancing take on 'Into The Groove') to the, well, even more ridiculous (the kabuki dancing 'Rain' / 'Here Comes The Rain Again' mash-up).

    Like Take That's Greatest Day disc, though, over half of the CD edit comprises songs from her then-album du jour. Still, Madonnna storms through the set with plenty of gusto, and the running order hangs together remarkably well considering it's effectively a cut-and-paste job from a much larger whole. The whole thing is a riot, with both the band and crowd nice and loud in the mix and Madonna's ad-libs raising smiles and eyebrows frequently. "F**k the rain!" she implores before a wonderfully sweary 'Human Nature'. However, she tops that with the intro to the Single White Female-powered 'She's Not Me'. "Ladies. Have you ever had a best friend that wanted to do everything you wanted to do? Including f**k your boyfriend?" Blimey!

    Some of the arrangements are pretty fun, especially 'Music 2008', whose Fedde Le Grand/Indeep samples bestow the sense of modernity the original swung for and missed. Others are a bit of a mess. 'La Isla Bonita' goes for copla/pop crossover but ends up coming off too throwaway. The singing is fine all over the record - she's never been Whitney Houston, but she's in tune and always distinctive - and that's especially true on surprisingly affecting renditions of 'Devil Wouldn't Recognise You' and 'You Must Love Me'. However, all too often Madonna herself is lost in the swamp of fiddly over-arrangements, samples (of herself and others) and entirely inappropriate vocal FX. Overall, and despite its considerable enjoyment factor, it doesn't have the same exquisite loveliness of something as well-constructed as Kylie's Live In New York document from last year.

    Madonna's desire to push forward and resist resting on her considerable laurels is to be applauded - there comes a time when an artist has to leave behind the fans who can't keep up. Hell, as long ago as 1992 one Mr Blue was moved to say of the superstar: "I like her early stuff. You know, 'Lucky Star', 'Borderline'... but once she got into her 'Papa Don't Preach' phase, I don't know, I tuned out." The only problem is that while they definitely have their moments, her last few outings have sent an increasing number the same way as our Reservoir Dogs gangster. Despite its absurd charm, this CD won't provoke the rediscovery of Hard Candy that it seems to nudge towards. That said, it's still an entertaining blast from start to finish. And with the DVD record of her outstandingly outlandish tour bundled in, this is definitely worth the entry price for anyone who still has even half an interest in the Queen Mum of Pop. 3/5

  5. I've only just read this and was both shocked and saddened - she was Madonna's best manager after Freddy, steering her back from the Erotica/Sex backlash and through the second phase of her career as an unrivalled female act. Guy Osearey drove Maverick into the ground and is doing the same to Madonna's career.

  6. It's the journo's fault for saying Like It Or Not sounds like Goldfrapp :manson:

    Rather than dissing Madonna, Alison just sounds more bored by being asked the same question. Not that I'm defending the cunt, I've always thought she was WAY OVERRATED and it's pleasing to see the PRETENTIOUS SHREW flopping at last.

  7. Hard as it is to believe, I've been there since the beginning. I saw the video for Burning Up on The Tube back in 1983 and thought WOW. I then read an feature on her in The Face magazine and thought she had something. The first record I bought was the 12" for Holiday and then got the album in the spring of 1984 - the guy in the shop said that her next album would be produced by Sly 'N' Robbie and I told him it was being produced by Nile Rodgers. I was so looking forward to the Like A Virgin album, HMV put it on the racks on the Saturday before it's official release date on the Monday and I just happened to be in the store on that day so got it sooner than I expected. I actually found it disappointing in relation to her debut but in retropsect, I can see that Warners were going for commercial impact rather than the uber coolness of Madonna. So there you have it.
