Madonna

Published February 22, 2012 | By admin

Music has always been a large part of society and so when influential and unique individuals emerge within the music industry they inevitably become exponentially popular. One of these individuals is Madonna (Madonna Louise Ciccone). Born on August 16th, 1958, Madonna was one of the most influential characters in the music industry throughout the 80’s and early 90’s. As an American songwriter, actress, and entrepreneur she has undoubtably made a strong name for herself throughout the world.

Madonna originally started her career by singing within music groups such as Breakfast Club and Emmy but then decided to branch out on her own and create her own brand. With the release of her debut album, people all over the world started to catch onto the revolutionary music and style that Madonna brought forth. She has had an abundance of different number one hits that have topped record charts all over the world including ‘Like a Prayer’, ‘Papa Don’t Preach’, ‘Vogue’, ’4 Minutes’, and ‘Like a Virgin’.

Her music career isn’t the only aspect of her life that has forced her into the limelight. Madonna is also a practicing actress who has had an abundance of film appearances since 1985. She has won a variety of different awards including a Golden Globe Award for her role in Evita during the year of 1996. Although Evita was a long time hit, many critics found that Madonna had fallen short of her acting career as her other film roles were titled as failures.

Although the majority of Madonna’s fame was found within the 80’s ad 90’s, she has continued to produce catchy and lyrical music in order to continue her role as an influential person within the music industry. The most important part of Madonna was her fashion sense and her risque approach to society. Within the 80’s and 90’s it was very rare that people would see provocative imagery during music videos as it was classified as “inappropriate” or “controversial” but Madonna rarely cared about critical thinking like that. Creating her music videos was seen as an art project as she thrusted herself into the minds of people all over the world with fashion decision and her portrayal of sexual imagery in her music and music videos.

With the Super Bowl XLVI, Madonna inevitably showed the world that she still has the ability to create new and pop centric music enjoyable by all generations. During her performance she shared the stage with new artists such as LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, and M.I.A meanwhile performing with revolutionary artists such as Cee Lo Green. With over 114 million viewers, Madonna’s half time performance was catalogued as the most watched halftime show in the history of the Super Bowl. The 53 year old looked absolutely amazing while she proved once more in the 12 minute session that she is the world’s greatest performer. You can see that for yourself in the video below.

With the release of her new album MDNA on March 26th, 2012, Madonna intends on touring the entire world during 2012 and many dates have already sold out. With an abundance of different tour dates, both old and young Madonna fans will be presented with the ability to sing and dance to her new and old songs.

Immaculate Collection

Madonna - Imaculate Collection Brazil Import

CD > POPULAR MUSIC > ROCKThe naughtily titled Immaculate Collection culls 15 of Madonna's Top 10 singles from 1984 to mid-'90, plus 2 new ones that continued the run (the dirty, trunk-bumping funk of "Justify My Love"--a Lenny Kravitz production that justifies his entire career--and the danceable desperation of "Rescue Me"). Rooted in disco and classic AM pop from girl groups and ABBA to Strawberry Alarm Clock, Madonna made savvy, touching music throughout her first golden era. These tracks retain their sonic and historical significance while, like "She Loves You" or "Rocket Man," still brightening any space they're being played in. Far more than just a wise, irreverent image-maker--like the Beatles or Elton, come to think of it--Madonna during these years was the gift that kept on giving, forever fresh, sexy, hooky, and joyously sharp. --Rickey Wright
