And I think even non-fans have to confess a grudging admiration for her, I know what you mean.<BR/><BR/>And as for Barbra as number one gay diva - WHAT a surprise!! Not!! I loved her in "What's Up Doc" though.<BR/><BR/>Time Warden - exactly, you are as young as you feel, of course! Apparently life begins for me in a few years time - so figure out how old that makes me. Shame we don't have a TARDIS to whisk us back a couple of decades eh? Then again if we met our past selves it could trigger the Blinovitch time effect .... noooo!!Old Cheeserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871751335676050949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-1164866885193957602006-11-30T06:08:00.000+00:002006-11-30T06:08:00.000+00:00I am indeed dated!

My goodness...Timewarden - thanks for your response. My goodness those singles date you, don't they!! (Oooh! Pardon my cattiness!)True though that Cyndi didn't quite enjoy the mega-stardom that Madonna has, nevertheless she has produced some interesting and unusual songs over the years (and her "Twelve Deadly Cyns" album is a great example of her output). <BR/><BR/>I agree, "Like A Prayer" is undoubtedly one of Madge's best albums and was a turning point in her career - it has more depth than anything she ever did before but stills retain an excellent pop sensibility. J'adore "Till Death Do Us Part", "Cherish", "Dear Jessie", "Pray for Spanish Eyes"...<BR/><BR/>Lostboy - yes the concert was quite heavily edited, but apparently the DVD will include everything!

I bought it the same day as Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and have never understood why Ms Lauper didn’t become the more successful of the two (I’d understood why The Runaways weren’t more successful than Blondie; because they didn’t write such good tunes, regardless of my preference for the all-girl band!).<BR/><BR/>“Holiday” was by no means my first single, though. Mine was Tyrannosaurus Rex’s reissue of “Debora”, around a decade earlier, and that was before I even had a turntable to play it on! Of the ones I’ve heard, I would say Madge’s most mature record is the “Like a Prayer” album.TimeWardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853837867256272087noreply@blogger.com
