    The worst thing that Madona did was a "cover" version of American Pie.
    Here's the Irony of it:
    Is Madonna a "greater" artist than Don Mclean: YES!
    Is ANY track by Madonna "greater" than
    American pie by Don Mclean: NO!

    I'm just a simple punter who knows what he likes, and what he dislikes, and what he'll pay for, and what he won't !

    I know I said this in another thread of Madonna's covering Don McLean a long, long time ago, but that was the day the music died, both figuratively and literally.

    God, that thing in your head called a brain is a waste. A waste of a brain. The creator made a mistake when putting it in your head. For you, your spinal cord would have sufficed. What's the purpose of putting it in your head when you seem to spend your life trying to convince people how dumb you are?! You have finally convinced me and I am bored of your peculiar brand of entertainment along with all these other little munchkins or smurfs you bring along with ya anytime you show up.

    I have nothing more to add at this precise moment because even I, find it hard to carry on a discussion with someone who uses his spinal cord to assimilate and process information. I hope you are not an organ donor. That brain must be buried with you. It is of no use to man, woman or even wilderbeast.

    Madonna admits that covering American Pie was a mistake. It was a huge hit everywhere in the world (except America) and it was very well produced. However, the song is such a classic that it is an insult to cover.

    Over here in England. Everyone I know of the era of the original, consider the Madonna version a travesty, not a hit !

    There are some songs where the performance and the personality of the original performer are so inextricably bound with the song, that a cover is virtually impossible. This is one of them.

    Hi SS. You could have saved a lot of cyberspace by simply typing the following sentence:
    Dear God, you are anencephalic.
    P.S. Jesus, I didn't even know that until you told me. I thought I told you you were grounded with no TV!

    Yes, the cover of American Pie was terrible... but I forgive her, we all make mistakes. And she is Madonna after all. Plus I am very excited as I have tickets to see her live in Manchester on Aug 15th! yay!

    woo hoo

    (hehe)

    I am very angry with that Manchester date;) I had taunted friends in Manchester with my 1th August ticket saying it was the first date in the UK. What does Madonna do? Set a date in Manchester. I am avoiding my calls cos I am being destroyed with taunts here.

    Anyway, good for you guys up north. She hasn't been there since the early 80's in the Hacienda.

    Did you see a clip of the rehearsals? Rehearsing ITG(Into the groove) with the bagpipes guy from her wedding? LOL. Calf length kilt and all:) The woman is just too trendy. We'll soon be seeing those all over the place once the rest of the world get a look at that clip.

    Some just have all the luck. Bagpipe guy living in his little village in Scotland. You play the bagpipes..Madonna arrives for her son's christening, you just stand outside and play some of her songs on your pipes just to get press attention..and what happens 3 or 4 years down the line? You are invited to tour with her round the world...I bet you he can not believe his luck. Looking forward to hearing ITG with bagpipes. How strange is that?!:)

    RE: 2006 Confessions Tour

    There are public presales planned, and I am 99% sure on the ticket presale password for Madonna at Madison Square Gardens. Off topic, but I've also got a Kenny Chesney password, Tim Mcgraw password and a Willie Nelson presale password. Come on over!

    Hi everyone!
    I would like you to tell me your own opinion about how Madona became an icon? and what is her contribution to culture?
    It's a paper i have to do about those themes.
    Much appreciated.
