Madonna Biography

Madonna Early Life

Controversial Madonna has etched her mark in music's history. She has achieved remarkable fame during the past 20 years of her career by dominating the music charts, hitting the silver screen and entering the publishing industry. Madonna established herself early as a pop icon and loved being the center of attention.

Being damned and banned by many people and institutions for her shameless self-exposure and naked ambition did little to slow down her album sales. The "Boy Toy" appeared in albums, videos, movies and books with an image of a sex-crazed woman. Often the public preferred discussing her lifestyle and personal life rather than discuss her music. Although Madonna's image today seems to have gone through a metamorphosis, she continues to keep complete control of her music and image.

Madonna at 50: I should be so lucky

08/15/2008

It does my heart good to learn Madonna is turning 50 Saturday, for several reasons.
First I should admit, though, I have never owned a Madonna album or disc -- just not my thing.
But coming of age in the '80s, Madonna was part of everything.

My style was more rock/punk/New Wave than "Lucky Star," but everyone had a bit of Madonna in her (or his) style back then, be it big jewelry, leggings, frosted hair or perms. Plus, I absolutely loved "Desperately Seeking ... (read more)
