Now that is a bad Madonna album!  American Life is MUCH worse, though, in my opinion. At least Breathless had "He's a Man" and "Vogue." I have to admit to liking "Hanky Panky" and "Back in Business" too.  | |

Perhaps you'd like to tell that to totalalisa who I criticised for making homophobic comments. Once again you are showing just how narrow your thinking is. You simply cannot understand that my issue with Madonna stems from my respect for the art and my resentment at seeing an artistic nonentity triumphing over genuine talents. Because art is such a cheap commodity to you (though you don't know it), you can't understand how someone could possibly be motivated out of respect for it. You don't realise that I value integrity and sincerity, and that Madonna represents the triumph of the opposite ideals. I may as well be speaking Japanese right now, because these notions are completely foreign to you. P.S. My comments about her "fucking her way to the top" may have been a little coarse, but they were also more than a little true. She slept with people who advanced her career. I didn't know that was some big secret. It seems you are far too focused on the way I say things rather than the actual content of what I'm saying. But then what could be more natural than a Madonna fan confusing style with content? 
Here's some advice: if you don't like Madonna,just ignore her.You spend WAY too much time analyzing her every move.The bottom line is,regardless of what YOU think of her,she's a multi-millionaire icon artist who has made her mark.Deal with it! I do ignore her in the sense that I don't listen to her music post-1989, but the fact is this is not a Madonna website. It's an open forum. Therefore you have to face the fact that there are gonna be people around here who are not shy in telling you what they think about her and what she embodies. I think you'll find there are an awful lot of people out there who feel the same as me. The internet is meant to be the place where people say what they think. Why don't you deal with that?

'The paradigm in the music business has shifted and as an artist and a business woman, I have to move with that shift,' commented Madonna. 'For the first time in my career, the way that my music can reach my fans is unlimited. I've never wanted to think in a limited way and with this new partnership, the possibilities are endless. Who knows how my albums will be distributed in the future? That's what's exciting about this deal - everything is possible. Live Nation has offered me a true partnership and after 25 years in the business, I feel that I deserve that.' 'Madonna is a true icon and maverick as an artist and in business,' stated Mr. Rapino. 'Our partnership is a defining moment in music history. I am thrilled that Madonna, who is also now a shareholder in our company, has joined with us to create a new business model for our industry. Bringing all the varied elements of Madonna's stunning music career into the Artist Nation and Live Nation family, moves her future and the future of our company into a unique and extraordinary place.' The first-of-its-kind partnership between Madonna and Live Nation encompasses all of Madonna's future music and music-related businesses, including the exploitation of the Madonna brand, new studio albums, touring, merchandising, fan club/web site, DVD's, music-related television and film projects and associated sponsorship agreements. This unique new business model will address all of Madonna's music ventures as a total entity for the first time in her career. Arthur Fogel, Chairman of Live Nation's Global Music Division and Chief Executive Officer of Global Touring, who has produced the artist's last three worldwide tours with the company which generated close to $500 million in the last six years commented: 'Madonna is without a doubt one of the most fiercely original artists in history. It is a great opportunity for Live Nation and Artist Nation to build upon our years of success with Madonna as a touring artist.' Artist Nation was created to partner with artists to manage their diverse rights, grow their fan bases and provide a direct connection to fans through the global distribution platform and marketing proficiencies that have made Live Nation the world’s largest live music company. Headed by the division's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Cohl, Artist Nation has significant infrastructure in place to execute additional revenue streams including recorded music, merchandise, studios, media rights, digital rights, fan club/website and sponsorship divisions.

'I've been fortunate enough to work with Madonna for half my life. She has always encouraged me and set a great example for me to push the boundaries to reach our full potential. This partnership exemplifies just that,' commented Madonna's co-manager Guy Oseary. Angela Becker, Madonna's co-manager added, 'The partnership and vision for the future that Artist Nation along with Live Nation presented to us assured me that this is the ideal home for Madonna. It is with great trust and optimism that we collectively move ahead together.' In regard to Madonna's relationship with her current label, the artist commented, 'My time with Warner Bros. Records has been great. I appreciate their hard work and value the many relationships I have developed over the years with the label in the U.S. and around the world. I have an album coming out with them next year and I'm excited about it. We still have work to do together.' Confirmed: Madonna joins Live Nation Posted: 16 October 2007 - From AP Via Yahoo! News Madonna and concert promoter Live Nation Inc. announced a deal Tuesday that will give Live Nation a stake in her albums, tours, merchandising, films and other music-related projects. Financial terms were not disclosed in the joint statement released by Madonna and Live Nation. A person familiar with the agreement previously told the Associated Press it was worth about $120 million over 10 years. The official announcement came after weeks of speculation that the Material Girl would abandon Warner Music Group Corp., which refused to match the Live Nation deal. Madonna said in the statement that she was drawn to the all-ecompassing deal with Live Nation because of the changes the music business has undergone in recent years. 'The paradigm in the music business has shifted and as an artist and a business woman, I have to move with that shift,' Madonna said. 'For the first time in my career, the way that my music can reach my fans is unlimited. I've never wanted to think in a limited way and with this new partnership, the possibilities are endless.' The singer still owes Warner Bros. Records another studio album and a greatest hits album.
