Madonna: Queen Of The Pop

bloody shame Queen Of The PopWhen you hear the expression bloody shame, a lot of thoughts and memories might trace to your mind. Some of us would cipher about(predicate) her as this young blonde girl who was singing songs like same(p) a Virgin or Papa dont preach in her de provideds, others go forth rather remember her countless tours around the mankind, other might think more of the controversies she cause and other might just criticize her for her latest trial run to adopt a child of the Malawi.Since we be doing a practice of medicine project, I will try to be as foc utilise on her music as much as possible but since Shes bloody shame (Robbie Williams song), I will to talk about her overall(a) c atomic number 18er.According to Biography (2009), bloody shame was born Madonna Louise Ciccone in 1958 in Michigan, USA. She grew up in the Catholic faith, lost her mother by fuckingcer when she was still 5 days old and was an incident that highly affected Madonnas teenage day s who verbalize I think the biggest reason I was able to express myself and non be intimated was by not having a mother For example, mothers teach you manners. And I absolutely did not produce any of those rules and regulations.Her stepmother treated her like Cinderella since she had to interest care of her younger sisters and brothers and that make her revolt by rejecting her faith and pose exposed clothes.Being an excellent student, and a fine mover, she dropped college and decided to gain dance in New York City. (ibid)She met Dan Gilroy of Breakfast Club and dis goed the combination of the stage and the singing. She went solo in 1981 and released her inaugural hit Everybody in 1982 nether her original name Madonna which has reached the first place on the dance charts of that year. The rest was like a fairy tale (ibid). The success was fast and her album Madonna which sold 10 million copies in the world set the artist for an international career according to Linternaute (2009).Musical panachePeach (1998191) notes in her book that Her music shifted from disco and bubble-gum to rock to personalised statements and melodic torch singing, then, with the aid of her music videos, to pop modernism . earreach to her songs and her albums, we nates notice that her first albums are very different musically speaking from her last album. Madonna evolved with the demand of its epoch along with her vogue and her clothes. In fact, I take heeded to her second album manage a pure and it was talking more about the universal themes like the parents, family, marriage and free morals and was more pop and rock than her last album rugged candy which was a mixture of Pop, dance, electro pop, RB, hip hop which by the way I didnt personally like. Although on her 2nd albums spread over, she was dressed in a wedding robe and her hair was long while her last albums cover shows a Madonna more provocateur than ever touching her lips, displace the cross and wearing aw ay a wrestlers belt.Why do people listen to her?I do hope that despite that she now reached the age of 50 eld shes still known and well known for her music. In fact, she is not talented naturally nor is a Miss Universe. Grant (20056) wrote that the activities she do which are music videos, concerts, records, movies, books and charity events have all one goal which is the chase for a celebrity position. Grant (ibid ) argues that once she reached this status, she started ab utilise from it and using it to attract or reject more people around the world specially when it came to using sex as a advertising instrument, pornographic images, nudity, suggestions of sexual aberrance and combination of sexual and spiritual themes. Shes an icon, shes famous worldwide. The church condemned her music and especially her album like a prayer. In 1992, she released a book called sex activity which showed some pictures of her in different erotic poses (Biography, 2009). I see Madonna as an entr epreneur who knew how to keep up to date with her epoch and this can be seen from her musical style and clothing style and I believe people adore this type of person because if a singer doesnt bring in up evermore something new , people will get used to his/her style and soon he/she will be forsaken.Targeted AudienceThe callowness are Madonnas prime target since her last album Hard dulcify was for example featuring her and Justin Timberlake on the song 4 minutes to save the world, Timbaland and the Neptunes who are icons for the younger generation. Also she talks about other young talents like Ali G or William OrbitIve met these people along the way in my career and I want to take them everywhere I go. I want to incorporate them into my little factory of ideas. I also come into contact with a lot of young talent that I have entrepreneurial about (from Grant (20056)). This is also a confirmation of her go to keep up to date with its epoch. As for the targeted people when she st arted, and talking from a personal point of view, I remember my mother telling me that she used to listen to Madonna in her 20s but nowadays she doesnt follow her actuality any longer since it is not her style of songs any longer and in fact, when going high in age, our tastes and interests change. This means that her target was always the youth generation (early 20s to 32).Relationships colligate to Other ActivitiesAs mentioned before, Madonna is a singer, writer, dancer, movie actress. When reading about her multiple relationships with famous people of her epoch, I can see that these relationships were a strategy for reaching goals faster than normal. She dated Dan Gilroy of the breakfast club, her first sight ever, then with the musician Jellybean Benitez (AbsoluteMadonna, 2009). Her marriage with movie actor Sean Penn took place in the equivalent timeline of her entry to the world of Hollywood. At this point of time, she was already famous and many men were actually looking f orward to date her. Nowadays, she has a boy toy named Jesus whom she uses for every task.InfluencesIn an interview with Larry ability Live cited on CNN (1999), she says that her influences were Led Zeppelin, Karen Carpenter, the Suppremes and Martha Graham, Rudolph Nureyev for the dance. As for the influences of actors, she admits in an interview with the clock magazine in 1985 cited in Allaboutmadonna (2009) I also loved Carole Lombard and Judy Holliday and Marilyn Monroe. They were all just incredibly funny, and they were silly and sweet and they were girls and they were feminine and sexy.The provocateur, the iconMadonna is such a big icon that many artists/bands have interpret songs about her like the Shes Madonnaby Robbie Williams or even the song Do it with Madonna from The Android (Onpedia, 2009). We cannot compare her to Elvis Presley whos got more than 50 songs referencing him, but we can say she does pretty well.Her domination of the Masculine sex is incontestable. Peach (1998198) writes in her book talking about the Queen of the Pop that she was frequently wearing mens clothes, grabbing her crotch, and declaring she the boss, thus resting male positions. She also had her male dancers wear fake breasts, womens clothes, and turn over to her power and control. The message was that male and female were social constructs that could be deconstructed and that women could occupy male positions, roles, and behavior and vice versa. In her fourth album Like a prayer, Madonna broke all the traditions of her time being the first singer to reveal what is normally masked by showing pip one bellys button as we can see on the albums cover (Virginmedia). She was a pioneer in this type of marketing. Madonna has been voted by the Advocate, a LGBT magazine as the biggest gay icon of all time as seen on Madonnanewsroom (2009). Who doesnt remember her kissing Britney Spears in a trio with Christina Aguilera? I still remember it very well when it happened in 2003 and at that time, I was only aged 14 years old and I was shock by this kiss. I do think that following this video, I started to learn more about the LGBT community especially the lesbians.RecordsDailymail (2006) wrote that Madonna made the highest honorarium a female singer has ever achieved.The withstander (2008) notes that Madonna made it into the UK Top 40 every year except three years 1988, 2004 and 2007.She has sold more than 200 million albums worldwide in 27 years of career according to ArticlesBase (2007).Interesting FactsThe following facts have their sources from The Guardian (2008)According to her brother Christopher, the only thing Madonna can wee is Rice Krispie cakes. This means that dishes she is incapable of serving up include La Isla Bolognese, Dear Jelly, Hanky Lamb Shanky, Dont Cry for Me Polenta, and Crazy for Yule Log.Like A Virgin was originally written for a MAN.Madonna once mention I want to be like Gandhi and Martin Luther King and John Lennon but I want t o stay alive.Madonna lost her virginity in the underpin of a Cadillac, later explaining that she saw it as a career move. demonstrationAs words of conclusion, I would like to say that Madonna has never stopped to surprise us with whatever she does, was it controversial, unusual or provocateur, and I do believe that she will remain the Queen of the pop constantly adapting herself to the changes and variations of our epoch. As time goes on, she will keep breaking records and I do believe that her age is not a barrier at all.
