Life and career
Madonna Louise Ciccone was born in Bay City, Michigan, on August 16, 1958. Her father, Silvio Anthony Ciccone, is a first generation Italian American (with roots in Pacentro, Italy), while her mother, Madonna Louise (née Fortin), was dariPerancis Canadian descent His father later worked as a design engineer for Chrysler and General Motors. As Madonna has the same name as his mother, a family member called him "little Nonni". The third of six children from his first marriage, full-blood siblings are: Martin, Anthony, Paula, Christopher, and Melanie Madonna was raised in the Roman Catholic faith. Upon receiving confirmation, she adopted Veronica as an additional confirmation name. He grew up in the Detroit suburbs of Pontiac and Avon Township (now part of Rochester Hills).
Her mother died of breast cancer at age 30, in 1963. Months before his mother's death, Madonna noticed changes in behavior and personality, though he did not understand why. Mrs. Ciccone, a loss to explain his medical condition, would often begin to cry when questioned by Madonna. Madonna later acknowledged that she did not understand the concept of her mother dying.
Madonna turned to her grandmother in the hope of finding some solace and some form of her mother in her. The Ciccone siblings hate housekeepers and invariably rebelled against anyone brought into their home ostensibly to replace their beloved mother. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Madonna commented that she saw herself in her youth as a girl "lonely for something. I was not rebellious in a certain way I cared about being good at something .. I do not shave my underarms and I did not wear make-up like normal girls. But I'm learning and I'm good value ... I want to be somebody. "Terrified that her father could be taken from her as well, Madonna was often unable to sleep unless she approached. Her father married the family housekeeper Joan Gustafson 1966, and they had two children: Jennifer and Mario Ciccone. At this point, Madonna began to express unresolved feelings of anger towards her father that lasted for decades, and developed a rebellious attitude. She attended St. Frederick and St. Andrew Catholic Elementary Schools, and then West Middle School. He is known for the high value of the average, and achieved fame for its unconventional behavior: she would perform cartwheels and handstands in the hallways between classes, dangle by her knees from the monkey bars during recess, and pull up her skirt during class-all so that the boys could see her underwear.
Works of art
Style of music
Madonna's music has been the subject of much analysis and scrutiny by critics. Robert M. Grant, author of Contemporary Strategy Analysis (2005), commented that what has brought Madonna success is "certainly not outstanding natural talent. As a vocalist, musician, dancer, songwriter, or actress, Madonna's talents seem modest." He asserts Madonna's success is relying on the talents of others, and that her personal relationships have served as cornerstones to the many reinventions in the longevity of his career. Madonna's approach was far from the music industry wisdom of "Find a winning formula and stick to it." His musical career has been a continuous experimentation with new musical ideas and new images and a constant quest for new heights of fame and acclaim. Grant concluded that "having established herself as the queen of popular music, Madonna did not stop there, but continued re-inventing." Mark Bego, author of Madonna: Blonde Ambition, called his "perfect vocalist for lighter than-air songs", despite not being a "heavyweight talent." Madonna always self-conscious about her voice, especially in comparison to her vocal idols such as Ella Fitzgerald, Prince danChaka Khan. According to Freya Jarman-Ivens, Madonna's talent for developing "incredible" hooks for her songs allows the lyrics to capture the attention of the audience, even without the influence of music. As an example, Jarman-Ivens cites 1985 single "Into the Groove" and its line "Live your fantasy here with me, just let the music set you free; Touch my body and move in time, now I know you're mine". Madonna's lyrics often suggest identification with the gay community. Santiago Fouz-Hernández believes that when Madonna sings "Come on kids, do you believe in love?" in "Express Yourself", she handles both the gay audience and the heterosexual female. Even diErotica era, with often adult-oriented lyrics, the songs appear free-flowing and gullible ("So it's down, where it's warm inside" - "Where Life Begins" from Erotica).
Madonna has a mezzo-soprano vocal range. He started his musical career with songs that she described as "soulful pop music". Madonna recalled in a 1983 interview with Island magazine that she wanted to grow up as a black kid. "First of all, all the black girls in my neighborhood had these dances in their yard where they had these little turntables with 45 records and they'd play all this Motown and they would dance, just dance, all of them dancing together and no white kids I knew would ever do that They are really boring and stiff. Dan. I want to be part of the dancing I do not like my friends .. I have beaten many times by little black girls before they would accept me and finally one day they whipped me with a rubber hose till I was like, lying on the ground crying., and then they just stopped doing it all of a sudden and let me be their friend, part of their group. " In 1983 her debut album, Madonna's vocal abilities and personal artistry is not fully formed. His vocal style is similar to other pop stars of that period sepertiPaula Abdul, Debbie Gibson and Taylor Dayne. The song Madonna reveals key trends that continue to define success, including a strong dance-based idiom, catchy hooks, highly polished arrangements and Madonna's own style vocals. In songs such as "Lucky Star" and "Borderline", Madonna introduced a style of upbeat dance music that would prove very attractive to gay audiences. The bright girlish vocal timbre of the early years became passé in Madonna's later works, the intended change, because Madonna constantly reminded of how the critics had branded as "Minnie Mouse on helium", because of her early voice. Her second album, Like a Virgin (1984), predict trends several later works of Madonna. It contained references to classical works (pizzicato synthesizer line that opens "Angel"), a negative reaction from social groups ("Dress You Up" was blacklisted by the Parents Music Resource Center), and retro styles ("Shoo-Bee-Doo "Madonna homage to Motown). Madonna's early style, and the changes that she ushered in it, is best evident in the "Material Girl" song. It opens with Madonna using a little-girl voice, but after the first verse, he switched to sound richer, more mature in the choir. Mature artistic statement visible in True Blue (1986). Song "Papa Do not Preach" is an important milestone in the artistic career. Classical introduction, fast tempo and the gravity in her voice that is unprecedented in Madonna's œuvre at that time.
With Like a Prayer (1989), Madonna again entered a new stage, the music. The album introduced live recorded songs and incorporated different genres of music, including dance, R & B and gospel music. Madonna continued to write ballads and uptempo dance songs for Erotica (1992) and Bedtime Stories (1994). She tried to remain contemporary by incorporating samples, drum loops danhip hop into her music. Her voice grew much deeper and fuller, evident in songs such as "Rain" and "Take a Bow". During the filming of Evita, Madonna had to take vocal lessons, which increased her range further. From this experience she commented, "I studied with vocal coach for Evita and I realized there was a whole chunk of my voice I was not using. Previously, I just believe that I have a limited range and would really make the most of it". Continuing his musical evolution with Ray of Light, the song "Frozen" displayed her vocal prowess is fully formed and allusions to classical music. Vocal restrained and she sang the songs in Ray of Light without vibrato. However, intake of breath in the songs became more prominent. With the new millennium came her album Music in which Madonna sang in a voice normally in the middle range, and sometimes in high registers for the chorus. A change was also noted in the song, with most of them being love songs are simple, but the underlying tone of melancholy. Next record American Life, infused with thumping techno rhythm, liquid keyboard lines, acoustic choruses and a rap on the title track. Rock songs of the album's unconventional mix with dramatic lyrics about patriotism and composition, including the appearance of the gospel choir in "song Nothing Fails". Musically, things changed denganConfessions on the Dance Floor, which returned Madonna songs of pure dance, club beats and retro embed, but the lyrics continued to be about paradoxical metaphors and reference to her earlier works. In his studio album, Hard Candy, she blended R & B and hip hop music with dance tunes. The album also has a song whose lyrics are autobiographical, and expressed support to help Africa. Fouz-Hernández commented that "Throughout her career, Madonna's manipulation of her voice shows us that, by refusing to be defined in one way, she has in fact opened the door for new kinds of musical analysis." With MDNA, Madonna returned to the electropop genre he flirted with on Like a Prayer and Music. Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph noted that efforts are weak, compared with the previous classic in the genre.
Legacy
According to CNN, Madonna is "arguably the most influential female recording artist of all time." Critical theory of Douglas Kellner describes himself as a "pop culture icon who is very influential" and "most discussed female singer in popular music." William Langley of The Daily Telegraph noted that Madonna "remains a permanent fixture on any list of the most powerful women in the world / admired / influential." He was featured in the bukuPerempuan 100 Most Important of the 20th century, was published in 1998 by the Ladies' Home Journal. In 2010, Time magazine included Madonna in the elite list of "25 Most Powerful Women of the last century", in which he became one of only two singers included, bersamaAretha Franklin. Madonna also topped the VH1 countdowns' s "100 Greatest Women in Music" and "50 Greatest Women Video Era". He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 10, 2008 its first year of eligibility-for "influence and significant influence on rock and roll." Additionally, Madonna ranked seventh on VH1 and People magazine's list of the "200 Greatest Pop Culture Icons of All Time." Her worldwide commercial achievements have given her some Guinness World Records citations, including titles for the best-selling female recording artist of all time world. Madonna has sold over 300 million records worldwide. According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), she is the best-selling female rock artist of the 20th century and the second top-selling female artist album in the United States, with 64.5 million certified albums. In 2008, Billboard magazine ranked Madonna at number two, behind only The Beatles, on the Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists, making him the most successful solo artist in the history of American singles chart. In 2011, Rolling Stone declared him as the all-time Queen of Pop, and stated that "Madonna is a musical icon without peer."
Caryn Ganz from Rolling Stone wrote that "Madonna is the most media-savvy American pop star since Bob Dylan and, until she toned down the press-baiting behavior in the nineties, she was the most consistently controversial since Elvis Presley." Stephen Thomas Erlewine felt that "one of Madonna's greatest achievements is how she has manipulated the media and the public with her music, her videos, publicity, and her sexuality." He added that "Madonna was the first female pop star to have complete control of the music and the image." Becky Johnston dariWawancara Magazine commented: "ew public figures are such wizards at manipulating the press and cultivating publicity Madonna She's always flirting with reporters big, brash and outspoken when the occasion demanded it, recalcitrant and taciturn when it comes time to pull back and slow down striptease .. "Throughout her career Madonna has repeatedly reinvented herself through a series of visual and musical personas. Fouz-Hernández agrees that this rediscovery is one of the important achievements of his culture. Madonna reinvented herself by working with upcoming talented producers and previously unknown artists, while remaining at the center of media attention. According to Freya Jarman-Ivens, "In doing so Madonna has provided an example of how to maintain one's career in the entertainment industry." Such reinvention was noted by scholars as the main tool to survive in the music industry, for a female artist. The New York Times critic Kelefa Sanneh commented: "When you imagine Madonna, you do not see a single image but a time-lapse photos, with one persona melting and warping the future It is open. Process, and when he was the best of his brilliant, very easy to believe that he can keep reinventing herself forever ".
The use of sexual imagery Madonna surprising benefits career and catalyzed public discourse on sexuality danfeminisme. As a document of Roger Chapman on Culture Wars: An Encyclopedia of Issues, Viewpoints, and Sound, Volume 1 (2010) he has drawn frequent criticism from religious organizations, social conservatives and parents' watchdog group for the use of its explicit sexual imagery and lyrics, religious symbolism, and vice versa "polite" behavior in his live performances. The Times stated, "Madonna, whether you like it or not, started a revolution amongst women in music ... Her attitudes and opinions on sex, nudity, style and sexuality forced the public to sit up and take notice". Shmuel Boteach, author of Hating Women (2005), felt that Madonna was largely responsible for removing the line between music and pornography. He stated: "Before Madonna, it was possible for women more famous for their voices than their cleavage, to emerge as music superstars But in the post-Madonna universe, even highly original players like. Janet Jackson now feel the pressure to expose their bodies in national television to sell albums. "Professor Camille Paglia from the University of the Arts called Madonna" true feminist "and noted that" he showed puritanism and suffocating ideology of American feminism, which is stuck in the adolescent whining mode. "According to him," Madonna has taught women young to fully female and sexual while still exercising total control over their lives. " Madonna himself has stated, "I'm probably going to dress typical bimbo, whatever, but I'm in charge. You know I'm responsible for my fantasy .. I put myself in this situation with men, you know, and people are not consider me as a person who is not responsible for my career or my life, okay. And is not that what feminism is all about, you know, equality for men and women, and I'm not responsible for my life, doing things that I want to do? Making my own decisions? "
Erik Thompson of the city page states that "in the early '80s, Madonna strikes many young entertainers industrial door step through so brashly and confidently today." According Fouz-Hernández, female pop artists such as Britney Spears, Spice Girls, Destiny's Child, Jennifer Lopez, Kylie Minogue and pink like "Madonna's daughters in the very direct sense that they grew up listening to and admiring Madonna, and decided they wanted to be like him . " Howard Kramer, curatorial director of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, commented: "These days more flamboyant pop star women enjoy the freedom to make music and perform as they do, but they do not create a liberty that Madonna did. Moving and shaking when she burst onto the pop-music charts in the early '80s. "He further notes that" Madonna and he carved out a career for herself allowed virtually every other female pop singers to follow ... He certainly raised the standard of all of them. .. He redefined what the parameters are for female players. " Billboard Editor M. Tye Comer stated: "Although Madonna has her influences, like David Bowie, he creates a clear own style ... He writes his own ticket, .. he does not have to follow any formula He states who he is ... and take ownership of the music '
Madonna has received acclaim as a role model for entrepreneurs in the industry, "achieving the kind of financial control that women had long fought for within the industry", and generating over $ 1.2 billion in sales in the first decade of his career. After he set up his own label, Maverick Records, in the 1990s it became a huge commercial success of the business, which was unusual at that time for an artist-established label. Professor Colin Barrow of the Cranfield School of Management described Madonna as "smart ... American entrepreneur who has moved to the top of the industry and stayed there by constantly reinventing herself". He raised the "planning, personal discipline and constant attention to detail" her as a model for all aspiring entrepreneurs. London Business School academics called her a "dynamic entrepreneur" worth copying, they identified a vision of success, his understanding of the music industry, his ability to recognize his own performance limits (and thus bring help), her willingness to work hard and the ability to adapt as the key to success Her commercial. Morton commented that "Madonna is opportunistic, manipulative and ruthless people who will not stop until she gets what she wants-and that's something you can get at the expense of possibly losing someone close to you. But that did not matter to her." Taraborrelli felt that cruelty is seen during the shooting of a Pepsi commercial in 1989. "The fact that he did not want to hold a Pepsi can in the commercial, clued the Pepsi executives that Madonna the pop star Madonna and employers will not be dictated by others, he will do things his way - the only way".
