This was a wonderful read. I think one of the best parts of the interview is the fact that the journalist is inviting us to explore the dynamic between the two. She definitely seemed defensive and angry in some parts, but she also seemed emotional and inviting. I really like that they actually develop some kind of relationship that they sort of "discuss".
This, I feel, crumbles the general picture that she is cold hearted. Selfish yes, but not hard.

This is heaven:
I know you've been waiting, yeah
I've been watching you, yeah
I know you wanna get up, yeah
Come on

The album is good, there are indeed some wonderful moments on there, Love spent, Tutr, Falling free, I'm a sinner and Beautiful killer, Gang bang. But other songs, to me, sounds a bit dated and too much euro cheese.
But I think her focus wasn't, as much as earlier albums, on the music this time, she mainly focused on her movie. And I think she has a really strong desire of becoming a great director, which perhaps she can in the future.
With her other albums there has been such a worked out theme which she could market her albums around. This time there was the Super bowl and then nothing. But I'm sure she's not unaware of this, it's just a new way of handling her music business.
I'm really excited for her tour. She showed with the Super bowl that she has no plans of letting her showmanship to rest. That, at least, is reassuring.

How to Stay Forever Young Like Madonna
When you see Madonna on a talk show this week promoting her new album, MDNA (out now!), or during one of the stops on her world tour, which kicks off on May 29, you’ll be checking out moves choreographed by former Broadway dancer Nicole Winhoffer. She appeared in shows like Wicked and 42nd Street, among others, before joining the Material Girl for her Sticky and Sweet Tour in 2009. Winhoffer, who is also a personal trainer, now works in the gym with Madonna six days a week to ensure that she’s ready for her grueling performances.
We caught up with Winhoffer to take a peek behind the scenes and to learn more about how everyone can train just like the amazing 53-year-old pop star!
If our readers could steal one trick from your work with Madonna, what would that be?
Body awareness. One must engage their mind while performing their exercises. Time and time again, I see people reading papers or watching TV while they work out. This might bring about injury and if the mind is not connected to the body, you can’t exert the proper amounts of energy needed to gain the desired results.
You were in Indianapolis to help Madonna prepare for the Super Bowl and are now gearing up to go on tour with her. How do you prepare for each performance?
Right before the show, we warm-up in her dressing room. We complete active hamstring stretch sequences as well as other stretches, ensure joint mobility by performing jumps on the ground and on trampolines and do ab work. As a result, her body is connected, warm and ready for the performance.
People are still buzzing about her amazing halftime show performance. How do you get your body ready for something like that?
We increased our cardio for stamina—her show was the most physical 12 minutes I have ever experienced! Due to her high heels, we made sure her core was strong to support the stress placed on her lower back. We practiced several movements and routines from her performance within the workout so once she was on stage, her muscle memory kicked in.
We heard that Madonna practiced for the halftime show with the temperature warm in the stadium. Does she always prefer to train with the thermostat high?
A warmer environment allows for the muscles to be warmed up and limber. Increasing body temperature allows for the blood to flow through the heart and muscles, enabling mobility, movement and protection from injury. Being a dancer, there is nothing better than feeling each muscle warmed up, connected and ready for a big show.
Besides being Madonna’s trainer and helping with the choreography for her new video “Girl Gone Wild,” you’re involved with her Hard Candy Fitness Clubs. Can you tell us more about them?
Hard Candy Fitness is inspired by Madonna and the belief that “Harder is Better.” It includes much of the same choreography and toning exercises used in Madonna’s personal fitness regime. Currently there are locations open in Mexico City and Moscow, with St. Petersburg opening in spring 2012 and another club opening to be announced soon. Hard Candy Fitness also plans to open additional locations around the world.
You’ve worked with Madonna since 2009. What is the greatest lesson you’ve learned from her?
With persistence, one will bring about the change they desire. With attention to detail, everything is accounted for.
It's so fantastic to read all of this! The work, the work!

It's one of the best!!

Sorry if this has been posted or discussed already, but who is musical director for the tour, is it the same as S&S tour?
-
i don't have the energy to go through the whole thread, but how much truth would you say there is in the rumour about m.i.a and nicki minaj?

My mother bought me my first album, I was hooked, she knew it, thanks mum!

Totally! Someone should tweet Guy O some tracks. There are sooo many more interesting people out there than David Guetta.
About youtube, it's very simple, just type the following and place the youtube link in between (without the empty spaces):

Ohh la la..thanks! And let's tweet

I know! She should reach for the german folks, there are a lot of interesting Berlin based musicians that could generate some interesting results musically..
Another question, how do I insert those stylish youtube links that you published? Mine didn't look so good..
-
this is a german guy she should work with for her next album, especially for that electro/hip hop/rock feel...

Thumbs up to this thread
The summarizing of the Madonna decade is a really good way to really see how much she has achieved these 10 years, amazing.
I'm too tired to list 5, but on the top part of my list is definitely the opening of the confessions tour. Truly creative.

The first picture is amazing..the hair, the cup, the eyes, the glove it just makes my imagination spinning!! great

some swedish fan posted a message on perezhilton that Madonna was getting negative reviews in the swedish press..anyone seen any press clippings from sweden??
In the Swedish newspaper 'Expressen' the journalist gave the show 1 star out of 5...

..stating in that the show was "confused", and that she has never been so confused in her artistry before. using words such as "uncomfortable", "embarrasing" and at some points even "painful" to watch..

MDNA is shit.
Many things she's done after Erotica and Bedtime stories seem somewhat beige (although not bad) in comparison.
Confessions tour is her best tour. End of discussion.
Hard candy and MDNA has made me lost some interest in her.
Stuart Price and Madonna has created some of her most memorable and magic moments together.
The more I think about it the more I realize that the bravest she's done in her career is the Sex book. She risked so much.
Vogue is her best single.
Frozen is her second best.
Hung up her third.
