Madonna Reviews, Interviews & More
Madonna’s been catching a lot of heat lately—not only is she being forced to defend her use of Nazi imagery (because who doesn’t love a few swastikas in the summertime?) as well as being threatened with a lawsuit from France’s ultra-conservative National Front party for said Nazi imagery, and being booed offstage in Paris, and being bashed by Elton John (again), she...
This week, Madonna took a stand for the political girl group Pussy Riot during a live show in Moscow. Drake announced that he would be co-producing Aaliyah's posthumous record, which will be released later this year. And Mumford & Sons debuted the first track off of their upcoming record Babel. All that and more below.
This week, Lamb of God's frontman Randy Blythe went to jail on manslaughter charges, forcing the band to cancel their upcoming headlining tour with Dethklock. Madonna got in some more trouble in Paris when she finished her set after only 45-minutes of performing. Lady Gaga also made the news this week when indie director Robert Rodriguez tweeted that she'll be...
In a borderline comic attempt to show the world how edgy she could still be, Madonna, on her most recent European tour, reveled in video montages featuring Nazi and Adolf Hitler imagery—because she’ so shocking, you guys! And, wouldn’t you know it, the square and staid world of uptight jerks simply couldn’t handle Madonna’s erotic and intellectual terrorism that threatens the very...
Once again, the queen of pop has topped the charts. Madonna's MDNA debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 this week, making it her eight album to land on top. But despite her eight chart-toppers, Madge is just second place among women with the most No. 1 albums; Barbra Streisand holds the record.
Madonna's new music video "Girl Gone Wild" features plenty of wild boys dancing around in sky-high heels. The new video is reminiscent of her 1990 video "Vogue"; both are shot in black-and-white, and feature an all-male cast of dancers. Watch "Girl Gone Wild" below.
If you happened to be one of the probable millions to catch the Super Bowl halftime show last Sunday night, in addition to seeing Madonna’s formaldehyde-enhanced, voodoo-risen body silently perform a series of ritualistic dances while synching her once-living lips to a series of pre-recorded words, you might have noticed co-performer M.I.A. letting the world know how edgy...
In one of the more bizarre and ridiculous Super Bowl halftime shows in recent memory, Madonna’s performance on Sunday night featured the singer on a golden throne while wearing a golden headdress, surrounded by half-naked gladiators as she lip-synched her way through a batch of old hits and new songs. There was some controversy, there was some “edginess,” and there was some just...
Because if there is one thing football fans tune into the Super Bowl for, it’s the chance to catch the live televised debut of a new Madonna single, rumor has it that Madge will be performing her soon-to-be-released new single, "Give Me All Your Luvin,'” during her set at the halftime show of the Super Bowl on February 5th.
Elton John's husband David Furnish had a strong, negative reaction to Madonna's Sunday night win at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards. Like John, Madonna was nominated for Best Original Song, but when Adam Levine announced Madonna as the winner, neither John nor Furnished took it well. It seems like the start of...
Finally acknowledging what most listeners could already hear and know, Madonna noted in a new interview with Newsweek that Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” bears a ridiculously strong resemblance to Madonna’s own “Express Yourself.” Madonna at least tried to be polite about it, however.
Well, it has been confirmed—after we reported to you in early October that Madonna was rumored to be the halftime performer for Super Bowl XLVI on February 5th at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, it was announced over the weekend that Madge would indeed performing the show, and would be backed by Cirque du Soleil dancers.
It’s that time of year again, when you get to spend the weekend dressed up as your favorite pop culture figure, or gals can dress up as a sexy cat, a sexy nurse, a sexy tomato, a sexy pocket calculator, or whatever else you can wear a short skirt and fishnets with. We thought we’d take a moment here at Beatcrave to offer up a few last minute suggestions for those of you...
It was an interesting weekend for music news, with information leaking about the fact that the super-wealthy Madonna has a homeless brother, Amy Winehouse’s official death report has been lost in the mail, Loretta Lynn has become seriously ill, Justin Bieber and Maroon 5 will be joining the American Music...
Ugggghhhhh. After dazzling us last year with a mind-meltingly bad performance by the Black Eyed Peas, “the NFL has reportedly locked down Madonna to perform at the Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show in February,” according to SB Nation (via Billboard). Which is awesome for fans of hyper-toned and muscular zombies who lip-synch, dance, and...
Remember back when Madonna was still releasing relevant music, and didn’t have to contend with a Lady Gaga that basically just took everything Madonna ever did, wrapped it up in some Bowie-isms, and totally got away with it? Well, looks like Madge is gonna try and remind you of the good ol’ days, as she’s planning on releasing her 12th...
Pitchfork reports that indie folkster Joanna Newsom came out swinging in a recent interview with The Guardian, lambasting two female musicians whose dedication to image, in her opinion, completely supersedes their ability to actually make listenable music. Or, as she puts it, Lady Gaga’s music is all “glowsticks” and “Madonna's a dumb-ass”:
It goes to show you—drop Madonna’s greatest hits into a blender, sprinkle a little Bowie on it and then cover it with AutoTune, and voila--you’re set. At least, according to MTV, who reports that pop oddball Lady Gaga has been named as one of Time Magazine’s Most Influential People. But, before you exclaim that this validates...
Oh… oh, no. Not this… Anything but this. OK, get a grip. Stiff upper lip now, must report this. Ok, deep breath. Brace yourselves—the strange, disturbing celebri-gremlin known as Tila Tequila has, in fact… Well, I don’t quite know how to say this. She’s… she’s released a new song, everybody. I know, I know. It’s ok, it’s going to be...
Last night was a special night for Gleeks. Not only did they get two original Broadway cast members of Spring Awakening (Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff) singing together alongside Wicked's legendary Idina Menzel, but they also got a preview of the upcoming "Power of Madonna" episode. To get fans even more pumped up, Fox showed their version of "Vogue" which...
