MerGirl Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Rose McGowan: What was your first musical obsession?The Ink Spots. Nobody's gonna know who the hell I'm talking about, but [sings in a smooth, '30s-ballad style] "I don't want to set the world on fire....' That kind of a thing. Also, I became super obsessed with, duh, Madonna. She was very inspirational. She was homeless at one point, as was I, and I remember listening to her and thinking, 'She could do it!' I like strong women. When were you homeless?When I was 13. It was awesome. [Laughs.] Just kidding. I was taken in by transgenders and a transvestite — that part was dope. What else about Madonna inspired you?She gets knocked for her voice, but if you try to do scales and you go up octaves, you crack at a certain point and then you skip higher — she sings in that weird sweet spot, and I find that not a lot of people do her at karaoke because of that. Also, unlike Gaga, whose look changes every day, Madonna is quite smart with her image — it's a new look for each period of her life. You need to keep evolving with your fans, because if you're different every time you leave the door, where do you go? What's left? Do you dress like a businesswoman? http://www.spin.com/articles/rose-mcgowan-interview-dawn-wedding-journey-madonna/?utm_source=spintwitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=spintwitter Dee Dee: Madonna: The Immaculate Collection Madonna was my first big pop icon. Everything about her was so cool. I was raised Catholic, which was weird. My mom was Catholic and my dad was agnostic, and Catholicism was a really big deal to her even though she was very liberal. I spent maybe the first eight years of my life thinking that everyone went to church. When I was 10 I developed strong friendships with girls who weren’t Catholic—one of them was Mormon, one was Jewish—and I started realizing that it’s a choice. I really liked the subversive stuff that Madonna would do visually and lyrically. My parents were pretty conservative in terms of looks, but I definitely tried to push the envelope in that direction, as age-appropriately as I could, in middle school. But I also was a goody two-shoes, so I didn't really create any waves. I was into dancing from a really young age—I danced Modern and Jazz for years, and I probably danced to all of the songs off that album. http://pitchfork.com/features/5-10-15-20/9316-dum-dum-girls/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomwiggz Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Madonna fan or not, I will never not love Rose McGowan! That woman is beyond fabulous.

5iVe Elements Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I love Rose McGowan. She's so purdy. And when MDNA was released she tweeted something like it was an album of life or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCD Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Love it. And Rose is right about M's voice. I've noticed that nobody can really imitate her singing voice like they can with others. It's completely unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glindathegood Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 So cool! Glad they love Madonna! I actually just got their new record. It's really good. It has a cool 80's vibe sort of like the Cure and Siouxsie. Everyone should check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madonnasuperfan01 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Rose McGowan is SO DAMN AMAZING. I loved her in Jawbreaker, Devil in The Flesh, Nip Tuck and Charmed. And the fact that she's a big Madonna fan is even more awesome, i'm not surprised she got great taste. I love that she praised Madonna's voice. And the little Gaga dig was great as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
