Madonna Extreme

Will.i.am has said he wants to see Madonna replacing Kylie Minogue on The Voice UK. Speaking about the reports, Will said: “ She’s amazing. I had fun, I hope it’s just vapour press and it’s not real.” But he went to suggest that Madonna or even Bono could be possible replacements.

Madonna’s third concert tour in support for “Like a prayer” and “I’m Breathless” was the first mega tour of the nineties. With this show Madonna clearly raised the bar very high because she managed to create an amazing extravaganza and certainly went beyond the conventional pop-rock concert, giving it a more theatrical feeling and mixing elements from films, Broadway, performance art and fashion. For the first time in any Madonna tour there were five different sections, Metropolis, Religious, Dick Tracy, Art Deco and Encore.

No wonder it reached Platinum status. It was also #1 in the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan and numerous other countries.

BEDTIME STORY Credits Written by Nellee Hooper, Björk and Marius DeVries Produced by Nellee Hooper and Madonna Single Nellee Hooper had written this song with Björk and then brought it to Madonna, who recorded it because she thought it was 'astonishing'. It eventually inspired the album title and in the spring of 1995 Madonna released it as third single. The trancy sound can be seen as an early preview of Madonna's electronic pop which she used years later on Ray Of Light . To promote the Bedtime Story single, Madonna held a pyjama party with friends and fans. It didn't boast sales though: the single only reached #42 in the US, ending Madonna's record of 32 consecutive top 40 hits. In the UK it got to #4 and in Australia to #5. The only successful charting was in the...
