A o. A a. A she is also one of the most successful pop singers of Al time having placed 15 consecutive singles in the billboard top 5 a Only Elvis Presley can claim a longer unbroken string of hits. Moreover she not Only wrote or co wrote More than half of those hits but has also been her own producer since the 1986 album True Blue. Yet the Rock press refuses to take her seriously As a musician and the Only artist to have tried her As a producer has been Model turned disco Singer Nick Kamen. Finally she gets treated like a major Star by Hollywood even though she has Only appeared in one successful film to Date Susan Seidelman a offbeat desperately seeking Susan. Yet even before the reviews were in on her performance As breathless. Mahoney in Dick Tracy it was reported that the Singer is considered a shoo in for the Lead in Oliver Stone s Mega Buck production of Evita. Who is that girl her childhood provides a few clues. Named after her Mother Madonna was born in Detroit in 1959. Her father a first generation italian american was an executive with general motors and by ail reports the family appears to have led a fairly comfortable Middle class existence. A but when Madonna was 6, her Mother died and that a combined with feelings of betrayal Over her fathers eventual re marriage a took its toll. Even As a superstar Madonna was still trying to come to terms with that sense of loss. A i think about her every Day of my life Quot she told the Baltimore Sun in 1988 Madonna has Given no interviews to the press on this tour. It shows too. Her pain is most obvious in Promise to try a song from the 1989 album like a prayer which comes face to face with her longing for her Mother. But unlike John Lennon s song Mother what Madonna delivers is not a Wail of abandonment but a Promise of strength. Quot done to let memory play games with your find Quot she counsels adding Quot can t kiss her Goodby a but i Promise to that sense of determination that need to. Turn weakness into strength and keep moving Forward is a constant in Madonna a work. Some see it As calculated careerism ambition refined to an Art but somehow that analysis does not Wash. If simple Success was ail Madonna cared about Why would she continue to take such chances with her music unlike superstars who once they reach a certain level of Success devote most of their Energy to working variations on a single formula Madonna does As she pleases. Like a prayer was an intensely personal collection of songs with subject matter a her divorce from Sean Penn the death of her Mother her anger toward her father worlds away from the Frothy frivolity of Paula Abdul her current Competition. Yet the album has sold More than three million copies so far. A a a a Ai m breathless takes even greater chances following the Chart Topping dance smash Vogue with an assortment of songs done in a Coy parody of 30s production numbers. For anyone else it would have been commercial suicide for Madonna it is just one More unexpected turn in a decidedly curvaceous career. Why do we put up with her though sure she is Beautiful and talented but she is also wilful and demanding. She is As despised As she is adored and. Yet people keep coming Back for More Why because above All else Madonna is real however much her image might depend on playing dress her performances always rely More on True emotion than training and artifice. Maybe that is Why she has had such a hard time with acting a she is Only at her Best when she really feels what she is saying and it is hard to develop much feeling for scripts like Shanghai Surprise. A a her music on the other hand gives her More than enough to work with from powerhouse ballads like live to Tell or crazy for you to the unexpected Depths of dance songs like papa done to preach or like a prayer. Ultimately it is that emotion a not her costumes or Media profile or sexual shenanigans a that tells us who she is. Everything else is just meaningless detail who a that girl Blond ambition a 3 by Roger Catlin. It Hartford courant Here other stars have been undone by these Pitfalls of modern show be Madonna has always somehow become bigger and. Stronger because of them a nude pictures from Early in career appear in Penthouse Magazine when it happens to Vanessa Williams she loses miss America Crown career initially sags.
