Your children are quite grown up by now. Did they help you choose the songs for “Rebel Heart”? Yes, for many years now we do that together. I played them every song and asked them for their opinion on the sound and the lyrics. How was their feedback? They liked many songs right from the beginning. Sometimes though they opposed to my decisions – which always lead to discussions. I had to watch out for them not to undermine me. My kids know exactly how to influence me. Who’s your biggest fan in the family? David loves my music. He is really into the faster tracks and dances around in the room. And who is your biggest critic? Lola, definetly. Of all my kids, she is the one closest to me. She knows exactly what she wants. Just like me (laughs). Lola turned 18 in October and now studies dance, music and theatre in Detroit. How hard was it for you to let go of your first child? When she moved out of my house, in autumn, it was the hardest day of my life. I was destroyed.

On February 16 1997, Madonna made a special appearance at Elizabeth Taylor’s 65th birthday party at The Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, California.

   Superstar conveys a mature mysticism in "Frozen" video. From the first scene of Madonna’s new video, “Frozen,” as the camera skims along a cracked, desiccated desert floor, the viewer knows this is no “Holiday.” Within seconds, a raven-haired Madonna appears, sprawled on the ground in a medieval-looking black funereal dress. Her hands are covered in dark henna tattoos, with vine-like designs snaking around her fingers and an enigmatic symbol on one palm. In the song, Madonna is asking someone to open up emotionally, and she slowly gestures and sways her arms toward the sky in the video, desperately pleading to her cold lover. “Frozen,” premiered Monday on MTV, introduces a sober, contemplative side of Madonna, revealing a mature mysticism that works for Madonna fan Tara Bruno, who is eagerly awaiting the release of Madonna’s new album,  Ray of Life  (Mar. 3). “It (“Frozen”) is not as upbeat as other things she’s done in the past,” says Bruno of Florham Park,

" Borderline " is a song by Madonna  from her eponymous debut studio album  Madonna  (1983). It was released on February 15, 1984 by  Sire Records  as the album's fifth single. Written and composed by producer  Reggie Lucas , the song was remixed by Madonna's then-boyfriend  John "Jellybean" Benitez . She used a refined and expressive voice for the song. Its lyrics dealt with the subject of a love that is never fulfilled. Contemporary critics and authors applauded the song, calling it harmonically the most complex song from the  Madonna  album and complimenting the  dance-pop  nature of the song. "Borderline" became Madonna's second top ten hit on the  Billboard  Hot 100 , peaking at number ten. In the United Kingdom it reached number two after it was re-released as a single in 1986. Elsewhere, the song reached the top 10 or top 20 of a number of European nations while peaking the singles chart of Ireland. The song was placed at 84 on
