The first single of Madonna's album, "Living for Love" released at the 57th annual Grammys (Feb. 2015)
 |
| Rebel Heart will be released on Tuesday March 10, 2015 |
 |
| She's still on the throne since 1984 3 decades and going strong. |
I know too many Madonna songs she’s extremely talented of
course not just the singer/songwriter/producer. She is also of course the
master dancer and actress. Madonna’s legs should be insured now lol! For over a
million cause she’s done some incredible work in the entertainment industry.
She’s opened doors for so many women to feel liberated, free, comfortable with
them selves, independent, and just to be themselves whether single or in
relationships. That message is timeless and will be for women for years. I
think if it weren’t for her we wouldn’t have Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Lady
Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, women who just have a way of captivating an
audience with more than their talent. She can really create a whole movement. Madonna was only 23
when she first stepped on to the music scene and had critical acclaim with her
first song while in a lacy white dress on a gondola ride. She is the phoenix who rises, the chameleon,
every single album she has been apart of has completely changed how music has
been made, how people have evolved personally, professionally, and musically.

| I was looking for a Madonna vinyl album to show you all just to show the point of her music evolving in style and change with her as well. Here's one of her number one hit albums, from 1989, "Like A Prayer" |

| Madonna circa 1984 when she just released her first album, "Like A Virgin" |
So who is “The Queen of Pop”? and
“The Chameleon” for real, Madonna of course full name Madonna Louise Ciccone
born in Bay City, Michigan on August 16, 1958. Grew up as a good Catholic
school girl, with her two older brothers, three younger siblings two sisters
and a brother, she always had a
passion and desire to be a performer and she started modeling posing in photos,
dancing practicing and rehearsing she attended The University of Michigan
School of Music, Theatre, & Dance. She moved to New York at 21 going to
nightclubs performing, she became a backup singer and dancer for Patrick Hernandez,
she began singing for the Breakfast Club, left one of her boyfriends, started
writing songs with him she wrote with John “Jellybean” Benitez, they wrote
“Holiday” and “Like A Virgin”. She began creating her own image with help of
stylist, Maripol and she was discovered the famous fishnet gloves, lace tops
and skirts, Capri pants, and fishnet stockings look for Madonna.
Madonna’s resume and biography is
incredible if you really had to sit down and get to know this woman if you
didn’t know who she was at all. I am telling you—you would probably learn some
impressive things about her that no one really knew or even realized as well. Her roles have really changed the game
completely. Directing, Acting, Dancing, Singing, Producing, she even discovered
some major talent. Does anyone remember a European group “T.A.T.U” she
discovered them as well from her Maverick record label she formed in 1991. Her
records have surpassed some of her peers, contemporaries as well.
There are still records for many of
her younger fans and singers to achieve that she have not been completed. Incredibly inspirational with the
records she achieved musically: she has done 4 live albums, 6 compilation
albums, 11 E.P.s,3 soundtracks, 3 Remix c.d.s, and 21 Box set albums. Her
albums “Like A Virgin” certified platinum in 1984 whenever you see certified
platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) on an album
means you sold over 1 million units world wide. Every unit is about or close to
(50 cents lets say so if you sell 1 million =50,000,000.00 worth of albums. She
sold 25 million albums for “True Blue” sold 25 million copies in 1986, “Who’s
that girl?” and “You can dance” in 1987, “Like a prayer” went quadruple
platinum in 1989. She sold close to 30 million for second best selling album in
the United Kingdom for the Immaculate Collection. As she continued to evolve in the twentieth century and into
the 21st century she kept evolving and changing with the times, In
1998 “Ray of Light” sold 20 million album I love this album actually one of my
favorites since I first heard it. I used to sing so many of the songs.
“Frozen”, “Nothing Really Matters (Love is all we need)”, “Ray of Light”, and
one of my personal favorite songs, “Power of Goodbye” you really hear Madonna’s
singing voice on this album. She was even in Rolling Stones magazine for this
album as well so I am very happy they agreed back then as well. In 2000, she released “Music” where she
was going for a cowboy country pimp look. She was having a lot more fun on this
album but it did receive major commercial success.
One of her other best albums “American Life” I have this
album I loved it because Madonna has a way of always causing controversy but
then also she’ll send you a couple of powerful messages as well. You may think she’s bragging or has a
lot of bravado but she’s really just educating and entertaining her fans as
well. She has a way of showing you
yes we can dance and have a good time but she will leave you like “Wow! Or
That’s what she really meant”. In 2005, she released another personal favorite,
“Confessions on the dance floor” it had a disco 1970s theme to the album, you
saw her combine and collaborated with more of the younger generation as well.
Favorite song love “Jump” (featured in “The Devil wears Prada” soundtrack),
“Sorry”, “Get Together”, and so many other hits as well. In 2008, she released
“4 Minutes (Save the World) featuring Justin Timberlake. On her “Hard Candy” in
2011 she left Warner Brothers Records and went on to Live Nation records signing
a 10-year contract. She released
“MDNA” November 22, 2012 which MDNA was transformed from the experimental club
drug MDMA (Ecstasy). The album featured more club songs, more songs about love,
the party and club scene as well. Now she is back and will release her
thirteenth album “Rebel Heart” she even tweeted some photos of world leaders:
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela with leather bondage cords around
them. Some disagreed with photos found it offensive but its all in good taste
to actually show people that world leaders who changed the world have a rebel
heart. They were courageous people who were rebellious and fearless. Some
people often criticize another modern day pop queen about feminism and expression.
Madonna was one of the first women to do it and show people that you can say
what you want but women need to be heard. She demanded respect, she opened and
broke doors down for women in the music industry. That’s why she is the queen
of pop she’s a woman who conquered her dream and never ever forgot it though.
She knew what she had to do to make a name for herself, even shedding her skin
literally and figuratively to show I can be powerful, talented, and sexy at the
same time. Plus I will sell over a million albums too and make you talk about
me too. So all hail the queen of pop is back everyone she’s taking names and
kicking behinds all the way. Still
dancing in heels as well. Plus she balances a household of 4 children: Lourdes Maria
Ciccone Leon her first child born in 1996 who has a very popular clothing line
“Material Girl”, Rocco Ritchie, Mercy James, and David Banda Mwale Ciccone her
last two she adopted as well. For more information on the “Queen of Pop” please
