Opinion: Madonna Visits Her Little Malawi Madonna Factory

25 Oct 2009 17:00:01 PDT

Written by Stuart Heritage
But not this time. This time Madonna has gone to Malawi to launch her brand new school, the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls. It’s a noble gesture – Madonna wants to use the school to “focus on empowering women to become leaders, not like that fat idiot Guy Ritchie”. We made part of that quote up. W...

Concert review: Madonna

31 Oct 2008 23:38:26 PDT

Written by Madonnasworld(noreply@blogger.com)
Madonna entered the Air Canada Stage on an "M"-marked pimp throne with Candy Shop," the title track off her latest studio album Hard Candy. In the words of Dee Daly, 28, a first-time Madonna attendee, she entered in true M form, "with her legs spread open and ready to go." A virtual Britany Spears also appeared in a remixed version of "Human Nature." Vogue" sampled with "4 Minutes" and a house version of "Like a Prayer" brought the desired Madonna dance fever. "Like a Prayer" was Daly's favourite performance; it reminded her of the classical moment in the controversial video when a back-up singer places her hand on M's forehead before breaking it down with the choir. "It was like in church and all of a sudden Jesus came to talk to us," said Daly.

Written by Karina Longworth
Not to diminish any of her myriad accomplishments (and I will never, ever begrudge her creative partnership with David Fincher), but it seems inarguable that history will remember Madonna most vividly as a cultural vampire: a supernatural creature (who, if not verifiably immortal, t...

Life with my Sister Madonna,reviewed by me

16 Jul 2008 05:32:02 PDT

Written by Madonnasworld(noreply@blogger.com)
At this point: Many of the interesting tidbits that Chris talks about is Madonnas lack of vocal training, about how, her backup singer Niki was almost fired and sometimes Madonna orders that her mike be TURNED oFF so she doesnt drown out Madonnas voice. The book is dedicated to their father and to their step mom Joan, who Madonna was always a mother to him. Madonna was the one that introduced him to a gay bar, and to pot and tab of ecstacy! Another tidbit that he shares is that David Geffen proposed to Madonna, over and over. view pix Check the site tomorrow for PART 2 review of 'MY LIFE with my SISTER Madonna.

Album Review: Madonna still has some fight in her

02 May 2008 08:18:52 PDT

Written by Madonnasworld
Before "Hard Candy," Madonna had never before opened her legs for an album cover. Two decades ago, her patchouli-scented belly adorned the sleeve of the intimate "Like a Prayer," and in 2005 she showed a bit of derriere for the disco-nostalgic "Confessions on a Dance Floor." She played wit...

In this up-tempo number, previously called 4 Minutes To Save The World, she exchanges dialogue with Timberlake and Timbaland for, as the title suggests, exactly 240 seconds. Devil is a reworked mid-tempo outtake from her last album, Confessions On A Dance Floor.
