Madonna: Madonna Live
built 650 days ago
Madonna lives out the cliché that the medium is the message. Because of her success and because of her hard work, she has total control over her shows. She writes the songs, produces the music, choreographing and dancing herself, designs the stage sets and even does her own make up and costume design. She is obsessively controlling of all aspects of her show. And not just her shows, but all the things she does. Her films, her public appearances, even her private life - all reflect a calculated image.

A new Madonna song, "Hey You", was made available for free today on MSN's site as part of the build-up to Al Gore's Live Earth concert extravaganza. The Pharrell-produced track is not going burn up dance floors anytime soon (think "Toy Soldiers," not "Deeper And Deeper"), but we encourage you to go over there and snag it (it's free, after all) for two reasons: one, every download drops a quarter into the coffers of the Alliance for Climate Protection; and two, someone has to encourage Microsoft now that they've dipped their toe into the MP3-distribution waters, right? more

The likes of Madonna and Jackson aim to offer what can only be called the total egocentric experience: they control every aspect or their acts, and are willing to dissolve the line where art ends and reality begins. Their acts incorporate their private lives and vice versa.

Britney's comeback may have been taking all the headlines lately, but she's hardly the only pop star on the planet - for instance, ever hear of a lady named "Madonna" or "Kylie Minogue"? Well, over the last few days, the two titans of teenpop have been at the center of a circus of hype in Britain involving two dueling benefit concerts - Live Earth and a show honoring the memory of Princess Diana on the ten-year anniversary of her tragic death. Madonna's already committed to headline Live Earth while Kylie's going to be front and center on stage at Lady Di's memorial (although whether she'll be there as a performer or simply as a presenter hasn't been determined yet). Could this be the most heated musical power struggle to hit the British pop scene since "Country House" vs. "Roll With It"? Only time - and ticket sales - will tell!

Madonna's look and manner of dress, portrayed in photographs, live performances and music videos, became increasingly influential among young girls and women. Defined by lace tops, skirts over capri pants, fishnet stockings, jewelry bearing the Christian cross, and bleached hair, this distinctive style became an iconic female fashion trend in the 1980s.[28][29]
