Andrei MihaiMadonna is really rarely seen doing covers – she has a great repertoire herself, and, let’s face it: she’ll always be one of the biggest artists around. But even when she does do cover, Elliott Smith is not exactly what you’d expect – but that’s exactly what she did. She covered ‘Between The Bars’ at a launch event for her new short film secretprojectrevolution last night. Watch the performance below. Madonna appeared at New York’s…
Benny Benassi: ‘I’m not even sure what house music is anymore’
Push me and then just touch me Till I can get my satisfaction, satisfaction Benny Benassi I recently came across this really nice interview with Benny Benassi, in which he discusses Madonna, the bike tour of California, and house music. Quite a great read. You’re currently on your Rough Road bus tour, tell us a little bit about that and where the idea came from? After the bike tour of California I did a couple…

Alexandra
Source. Best friends: Lady Gaga and Madonna During a performance in St. Paul, Minn, Madonna told the crowd: You know, I invited her onstage to sing with me. But, she turned me down. It’s OK. I’ve been rejected before. It builds a little character. All I can say now, is that, I can really understand Lady Gaga, who wants to kiss an old lady on stage (if you don’t understand what I…
Pussy Riot on Madonna’s back [with Video]
I don’t know who heard about these three feminist punk rockers (Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina, and Yekaterina Samutsevich ), or Pussy Riot, until February this year, when they performed a protest song named “Virgin Mary, redeem us of Putin” in Christ the Saviour Cathedral in Moscow, with their faces covered with some balaclavas. The song is about claiming Virgin Mary to become a feminist and banish Vladimir Putin, and criticizes the support shown to Putin by…

Well times are changing, and (most) artists are having a rough time adapting to it. But as you could have easily guessed, Madonna is not among them. Yeah, she’s seen it all, done it all, and well, like it or not, she kicks ass mtv-wise today too.

In this first quarter of ’09 we’ve been graced with some pretty amazing compilation albums. Actually, they were of such a surprising quality, that I can go as far as saying they’re even better than most of the regular releases we’ve seen so far.

Naked Madonna mistaken for Monroe
We know how much Madonna has stirred up spirits in her life, and there probably are just few who have done as much as her which outraged. Face it, love her or hate her, Madonna did what she wanted, without considering the impact her actions have; and we love that about her!But as far as I’m concerned, until now nobody can beat Marilyn Monroe at that game! She’s undoubtely the best, even after all these…
