DEFYING GRAVITY

One of the highlights of the November 13 Madison Square Garden MDNA show was the Madonna strip show where M stripped and practically shows off her fabulous body and asked for money from the audience. The money is intended for the victims of Hurricane Sandy and apparently she was able to raise $60,000 (£37,500) in donations.
Good job but what really impressed me is the Queens ass which has a life of its own.
Call it science or whatever but that butt is definitely defying gravity.



Luv it when she says "You pay me and I'll touch you!''
Classic M....

Nothing Like The Real Thing

Not talking about a soda ad but rather an imitation of the Queen Of Pop.
OK OK Lets not get ahead of ourselves I'm not talking about GaGa either.
Instead I'm talking about the newly unveiled wax figure of none other than Madonna.
Yes Madame Tussaud's Las Vegas recently unveiled the iconic Super Bowl Madonna.



I'd have to say this is probably the best one in the lot of Madame Tussaud's as most M wax figure in the museum sucks.






But seriously my take on it is they could have made an effort in the details as the said wax figure is not as expensive looking as the real thing in terms of costume and accessories.



And definitely they will never capture the dazzling blue eyes of the Queen. But still a great job.


UPDATE:
Apparently a new wax figure for M. Tussaud's of London is in the works and from the looks of it,seems spot on.

LOVE SPENT

Been a fan since 1984, In all those years I had been collecting Madonna related stuff from Music CD's ,tapes,Vinyl records,DVD's,Laser Disc, Posters, books and lots and lots of magazines.Some I bought some given by dear friends aware of my addiction LOL.
I guess I have spent loads on the Queen But all in all its well worth it. I am particularly fond of the two SEX books I own. Of course I have all her studio albums. My only regret is that I threw away all of my albums in tape format.
LOVE Well SPENT actually......

THIRTY



Seems like yesterday but Madonna's debut single was released 30 years ago. Everybody was released in October 6,1982.The singles artwork does not include any image of the soon to be Queen of Pop thereby giving the impression that Madonna was a black artist from how the track sounded. In which later once the image was introduced and seen by the public there's no looking back.
Happy 30th Anniversary!!!

Imitation Is The Highest Form Of Flattery

I just love it whenever Madonna goes back to her usual nasty bitchy self, a throw back from the Truth or Dare Era when she was really such a Diva with Attitude.
But I guess those days are long gone especially when she started practicing Kabbalah and she had Lourdes.
But once in a while we do see a glimpse of the old bitchy Madonna, and it happened again to my delight last September 15, 2012 at the MDNA Tour in the Atlantic City Leg.
After singing the crowd pleaser Holiday, The Queen dedicated Masterpiece to Lady Gaga then serving up a backhanded compliment saying "I Love Lady Gaga, Imitation Is The Highest Form Of Flattery", to the audiences delight,
Anyways I don’t know if there’s a truth to what she said that they will be performing soon. My take on that, I hope it doesn’t push thru. LOL

STRONZETTA

La festa è finita, ora allacciati la cintura, stronzetta

The party is over, now put your safety belt on, little bitch

Now I know what the Hot Driver (Adrien Galo) is saying at the end of the video





TURN UP THE RADIO by MADONNA



Here's the new Madonna video for the third single from MDNA "Turn Up The Radio".
The video looks pretty but a little underwhelming considering that the first two videos from MDNA were really awesome.
It has a kinda Fellini feel to it considering it was of course shot in Italy plus it does remind me of La Dolce Vita , aesthetics wise & the perky boobs LOL
I never really liked the work of Tom Munro video wise , I was even so disappointed with the Give it 2 me vid which he also directed along with Madonna's gardener lol but I'm hoping this will be a grower and I'll eventually appreciate it as I really love the song.
On a final note the look and feel of the whole video is very instagram though Ciao!!!

Ain't No Big Deal


So much fuss about Madonna's new Tour including GaGa's Born This Way in the set list. Some say its beyond M. in poor taste M shading GaGa that way.
But then again who the hell cares. In the past M had been doing mash ups with other songs from other famous artists in her concert, starting from the late Great Michael Jackson with Billy Jean and Like A Virgin.
So I say its simply no big deal, GaGa should even be proud that she's relevant enough for her song to be included .
Maybe there is a dig and a shade going on but as i have said who cares.....
I guess the monsters do but who the hell cares about their opinion this tour is gonna be big maybe even be bigger than M's previous ones or any of GaGa's.
So my take take on this is lets just sit,relax and enjoy the show....

Virgin Tour Billy Jean/LAV mash up


Sugar Pie Honey Bunch/LAV mash up


RAIN/Just my Imagination mash up


Don't Tell Me/Bitter sweet symphony sample


Future Lovers/I Feel Love mash up


Music/Put Your Hands Up for Detroit


Rain/Here comes the Rain Again

ETO O !!!

OMG Descending out of a Confessional!!!
Scandalous especially to a Catholic country like the Philippines. The chances of her going to Manila is getting slimmer and slimmer considering the hoopla over GaGa whose Manila concert is oh so tame compared to this. But heck this is a testimonial to the Queens talent and guts. The Lady's got BALLS.

TURN UP THE RADIO



I really don't know for the love of God why this song wasn't chosen by Madonna's team as the lead single for her new album MDNA.
The song reeks of hit written all over it or is it just me. But then again compared to the previous single releases from MDNA namely "Give me All your Luvin" and "Girl Gone Wild" I think this is more accessible to the general public. Billboard Magazine was even quoted in saying that this should definitely be the next single.
Now that MDNA had a huge dip in the charts from No. 1 to No. 8 in the US Billboard chart, It needs a push from a hit single and I'm thinking this could be it.
It just irritates me that MDNA is a very good solid album with really good songs in it, And that it will be lost in oblivion, because this album is too good to just fade away.
I personally don't care that much about charts and as long as the Queen is making music it should be enough but I am just disappointed how M's management handled this albums promotion totally no traditional promotion quote unquote , I know that M is making tons of money in touring more than any hit savvy young uns (Katy, Gaga even Adele) but cant she at least say perform in a TV show, or do a cover in a major publication ( Vanity Fair, Vogue, Rolling Stone etc) like what she used to do in the past.
Maybe its a sign of aging, but just like her album I don't want her to fade into oblivion unless she wanted to , kinda like Garbo when she said "I Want To Be Alone".....
Anyways whatever happens I will forever Be a fan no matter what....

POSTSCRIPT: Gang Bang is another worthy single but I'm basing my choice on the fact that Gang Bang is not a General Patronage song , not suitable for kids actually.LOL

PART OF ME

So Katy Perry will be releasing a concert movie and its entitled "Part Of Me".
From the trailer it looks delicious and good enough to eat as its bursting with really bright rainbow colors and not to mention that its in 3D.

And apparently Katy Perry did say that the Concert movie was partially inspired by the Queen of Pop’s 1991 film “Truth or Dare.”

In contrast to Truth Or Dare which was shot mostly in black & White with only the concert footage's in color, Katy's movie as mentioned is in full on bright color mode.

I actually like Katy Perry as she's laid back with not that much pretense and drama to her persona. Her songs are simple,never pretentious and is catchy as hell, which is probably the reason why she had been racking up those number 1's in the Billboard Music Charts and all over the world for that matter.
And I do give her props for acknowledging Madonna as one of her major influences but at the same time doing her own thing without copying anybody not like some other pop princesses that claims to be original but in truth just a reductive copy of the Queen (The Nerve).



BTW, the Blu-ray version of Madonna's Truth or Dare is also set to be released this month also.

Madonna Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200


by Keith Caulfield, L.A. | April 03, 2012 6:20 EDT

Madonna scores her eighth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with the debut of her "MDNA," while Lionel Richie's all-star country collaborations covers album "Tuskegee" bows in the runner-up slot -- his highest-charting album since 1986.

Madonna remains in second place among women with the most No. 1 albums. She now needs only one more No. 1 to tie Barbra Streisand, the leader among women with nine chart-toppers.


"MDNA" sold 359,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan, and is Madonna's fifth straight studio album to debut at No. 1. It follows 2008's "Hard Candy," which moved 280,000 in its first week. "MDNA's" opener is her best sales week since 2000's "Music" shifted 420,000 when it debuted at No. 1.


Meanwhile, Richie's "Tuskegee" starts with 199,000 -- his best sales week since SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. His previous largest frame in that span of time was when 2006's "Coming Home" started with 75,000 at No. 6 in 2006. Richie was last higher on the Billboard 200 in 1986, when "Dancing on the Ceiling" spent two weeks at No. 1.


Like other veteran acts before him, Richie opted for a creative way to reach consumers with "Tuskegee." Not only did he go the covers route (see: Tony Bennett, Rod Stewart, etc.) but he also brought in a gaggle of A-listers (again, Bennett with his "Duets" albums, or, Santana's "Supernatural"). Further, he isn't just covering old tunes -- he's covering his own familiar hit singles, but with a country slant.


Richie also was the focus of an hour-long concert special on the Home Shopping Network on March 16. Sales generated from the broadcast amounted to about 20,000 sold, says Richie's record label, Universal Music Nashville.

A traditional studio album from Richie would have likely never sold as well as "Tuskegee," which targets multiple demographics all in one tidy package. Case in point: In one week, "Tuskegee" moved more than twice what his last studio album did in total -- 2009's "Just Go" has done 95,000.

In terms of release-week promotion, Madonna was basically off the radar, instead focusing her energy on rehearsals for her upcoming world tour. That stands in contrast to Richie, who worked the TV circuit hard in the past week.

PARTEEEEEEEEE!!!!!


Yeah I know its lent but then again in the Philippines along with the observation of lent, it's also a time to party for most Filipinos.
Its actually not so unusual to see while in one house there's the traditional reading of the Passion of Christ, on another there's a party goin on.
The irony of the Filipino people actually celebrating a deeply serious religious occasion at the same time partying on the side.
And it does not hurt that the Semana Santa is punctuated by another holiday Valor Day so definitely everybody will be [partying till the wee hours of Easter Sunday as Monday is a Holiday....ENJOY !!!!!!!!
