This is a comprehensive biography of the impact that the queen of pop has had on the music business and in pushing the boundaries on pop culture in the modern era. Covers Madonna's early upbring, her rise to fame, her influences, all the albums that she has released with the major hits and associated videos, her various tours, fashion choices and partnerships with leading designers throughout her stellar career. Her impact to furthering womans and LGBTQ rights as well as furthering the sexual revolution is covered. While it took me a long time, about 4 months, to get through the audiobook as it is 42 hours' worth of audio, it was a for me, as a fan of her work, a worthwhile and pleasurable endeavor. Looking back at her performances and music videos from the 80s with the perspective of the 2020's makes it clear just how groundbreaking they were and are still influencing young performers and fans to this day, which is something that will continue for a long, long time into the future. Looking forward to attending a concert of hers in the near future to experience her, her band and dancers in a live performance setting. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"With her arrival on the music scene in the early 1980s, Madonna generated nothing short of an explosion--as great as that of Elvis or the Beatles--taking the nation by storm with her liberated politics and breathtaking talent. Within two years of her 1983 debut album, a flagship Macy's store in Manhattan held a Madonna lookalike contest featuring Andy Warhol as a judge, and opened a department called "Madonna-land." But Madonna was more than just a pop star. Everywhere, fans gravitated to her as an emblem of a new age, one in which feminism could shed the buttoned-down demeanor of the 1970s and feel relevant to a new generation. Amid the scourge of AIDS, she brought queer identities into the mainstream, fiercely defending a person's right to love whomever--and be whoever--they wanted. Despite fierce criticism, she never separated her music from her political activism. And, as an artist, she never stopped experimenting. Madonna existed to push past boundaries by creating provocative, visionary music, videos, films, and live performances that changed culture globally. Deftly tracing Madonna's story from her Michigan roots to her rise to super-stardom, master biographer Mary Gabriel captures the dramatic life and achievements of one of the greatest artists of our time" -- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
