Madonna Ciccone? 1958 was born in Bay City near Detroit, Michigan, USA on August 6th. My father is an engineer and my mother is a housewife. Madonna is the oldest girl among the eight children in the family. At the age of six, her mother died of breast cancer. Madonna was brave and business-minded in her childhood. She participated in the school performance, was a cheerleader, took piano lessons and studied ballet. Madonna's dancing skills won her a scholarship to the University of Michigan. From 65438 to 0978, when she was a sophomore, Madonna interrupted her studies and went to new york for development. According to legend, she lived in new york's Times Square with only $35. After one low-paying job after another, including working as a thrifty shop assistant at Dunkin' Donuts in Times Square, Madonna joined the famous Alvin iriver Martha Graham Dance Company, where she danced jazz for a while. Her active nature made her unwilling to hang out with a group of dancers for a long time and remained unknown. Besides, she also wants to switch from dancing to making music. The singer turned into a dancer and joined a series of small bands. In the early 1980s, she began to try to write lyrics and gradually learned to play the guitar and piano. Madonna began to work as a jazz singer in the local dance club. Her provocative voice, enthusiasm and naughty stage style attracted the attention of many audiences. 1982, Mark Kamins, the host of radio record Music Festival, gave her a chance: she produced a successful club stage play with her single Everybody, and introduced Madonna, who had just debuted, to the executives of Warner Brothers. The official was very satisfied with her songs and immediately gave Madonna a recording contract. 1983 Madonna published the first album named after her-Madonna, but it didn't attract people's attention. However, several songs of this record have become the must-play songs in new york nightclubs. The first single "Holiday" was broadcast in the air through the local radio station. Incredibly, it entered the list of the top 20 songs in America. Soon, "Lucky Star" and "Boundary Line" in the album also embarked on the same road of success as her first single. After the video was widely spread, the whole world knew Madonna's strange appearance: bee-stung hair, bare abdomen, miniskirts and religious decorations, especially those deliberately dyed. Before Madonna's works reached the charts, 1984, Warner Records released her album Like a Virgin, in which the theme song became Madonna's first single to reach the top of the charts, and this album also reached the top of the charts. From 65438 to 0985, Madonna sold more singles and albums than any artist. After becoming famous, Madonna began to tour, and she also appeared in the feature films Visual Exploration (1985) and Desperately Searching for Susan (1985). And participated in David Rabe's "Goose" and "Tambourine" stage performances. Her performances were mediocre, but it was through these performances that she got to know her acting partner sean penn, and they immediately became the focus of discussion. 1985 August 16, Madonna's birthday, they got married in Malibu, California. 1986, they co-starred in the thriller Unusual Love, which caused great repercussions. But their marriage ended in less than four years. "Argument"-sometimes inevitable, Madonna has been with it ever since. Madonna's album title song Like a Prayer (1989) caused a sensation just because of her mixed video. In the video, Madonna dances in front of a burning cross and kisses an African-American, showing her instinctive contempt for God. Religious groups were indignant at this, and Pepsi cancelled the funding for Madonna's tour and interrupted her image broadcast in TV commercials. What lessons did Madonna learn from this incident? Scandal has a selling point. Madonna continued to use emotional skills to promote her 1990 "Blonde Ambition" global tour, and to increase the box office of the documentary Truth or Dare, the autobiographical photography entitled "Sex" (X-rated) and the sales of the main album "Erotica". After the "sex" incident subsided, Madonna realized that she was really "out of line" and faded out of the art world. 1995, started shooting several low-budget films, including "acne" and "four rooms". When she came out again, she showed two new changes: a expectant mother and a serious actress. 19961June14th, she and her then boyfriend Carlos Leon welcomed their daughter ourdes Maria Ciccone Leon, and Madonna called her Lola. Besides, this ridiculed romantic figure also appeared in Who's that Girl? "1987)," the body of evidence "1993), and played the heroine in the movie Ai Weita 1996. This role is tailor-made for her, at least according to hollywood foreign press association, and Madonna was awarded the Golden Globe Award for Best Musical and Comedy Actress. 1998 Madonna released a new single "Light", which she thought would not be too big, but unexpectedly, this record quickly reached the top of the charts and won the * * * Four White Gold Awards. This record, produced by William Orbit, is the first time that she has appeared in a brand-new dress and image since 1994 bedtime story album, indicating that "Material Mother" (another name of Madonna, from her famous song "Material Girl") has been perfectly combined with the new dance style. Obviously, just like her two singles in The Power of Austin, Obi's efforts made The Beautiful Stranger quickly popular, Madonna won the MTV Best Film Award, and Madonna was reborn.
