oh the other poem dedicated to Melly Mel goes like:
..."way back in the beginning when I started all of my sinnin'
I needed a partner in crime you could say
so I went on a search and started to pray
I walked into my manager's office one morn
I was mouthin' out loud in my usual form
as my eyes toured the room
my poor heart skipped a beat
for there in the corner was the picture of
sweet
she was glued to the phone
she was bathed in pastels
her Lee press-ons were sittin'
they were longer than hell
I turned and I winked and I said "hey miss muffet"
you think you can work for a bitch? can you tough it?
"I'm gaggin no way get me outta this dump!"
I said "hey Freddy find a new fiel to pump"
so the rest is like history , legend, ok?
you wanna hear dish? she don't play it that way
how can I thank you my sweet Melly Mel
you pick up my shit and my undies that smell
you shield me from assholes and take all their calls
you buy me my tampax my rubbers and all
Now you can't count on much in this life I should know
but I guess I got lucky I found me a pro
she still lives in the valley
but her press-ons are gone
she still goes out with jocks
but she sips Dom Perignon
but without you I'm nothin' I'm gagging ,Miss thing
If you ever leave me I'm gonna fucking kill myself"
 

 
 
 
 
 

^thanks! you're so kind! I love her but I love how she carries herself more I think her humor and resilience oh and more than that, her music

she need to press them into a beautiful bound book with fab MX pics and sell it for 225 bucks (on sale!)

For anyone out there who ever thought they were delusional, just go on Madonna's instagram or twitter and read the comments and feel better about yourself. 

The guy who edits her channel didn't even know to add subtitles, don't expect anything else unless they take someone who know how youtube works.. go and spam comments on guy's insta..

I think that's when she was celebrating Melissa's Bday and she was reading her poem to Mel..."way back in the beginning when I started all of my sinnin' etc "

forgot to add that she also got:
1990- Honorable Mention  
1998- Honorable Mention
 
I think she should've been featured in 2000 and 2005 but in billboard terms I guess her points -or impact I guess-  were divided 2000-2001 and 2005-2006
oh and in 1990 just honorable mention? as if! she was literally on top of the world back then , everywhere!!

Greatest Pop Star every year : Madonna 1985 and 1989 !

1985 MADONNA
BY MAURA JOHNSTON
By the end of 1984, Madonna had already established herself as one of the MTV era’s brightest stars, with boundary-pushing videos, underground-nodding dance-pop hits, and a writhing Video Music Awards performance that turned the then-fledgling telecast into a must-watch event. But the year after Like a Virgin’s release was owned by Madonna from back to front -- the last four weeks of the title track’s run at No. 1 on the Hot 100 opened 1985, and she followed it up with smash singles like “Material Girl” and “Angel,” her feature-film debut and first silver-screen starring role, and yet more unavoidable music videos. 

“Like a Virgin” hit No. 1 in December 1984 and stayed there until the end of January -- just as her Marilyn Monroe-saluting, Keith Carradine-starring video for “Material Girl” was being added to MTV’s rotation. The bouncy, sardonic track would go on to reach No. 2 and become one of Madonna’s career-defining songs, its video establishing Madonna’s blonde-ambition ideal while also showing off her more down-to-earth side. It also helped Like a Virgin reach the top of the Billboard 200 for three weeks in February,  Madonna racked up another career milestone that month, when the May-December drama Vision Quest was released. In the movie, Madonna played a singer at a Spokane bar, performing “Crazy For You,” a lush, Jellybean Benitez-produced ballad that showed off Madonna’s lower range. Madonna’s star power was so strong that in some countries the movie’s title was changed to Crazy For You -- although in America, she had to settle for the soundtrack single being No. 1 on the Hot 100 for a single week in May. 

A month later, Madonna appeared in her first starring role in a movie, getting top billing alongside Rosanna Arquette in the hit mistaken-identity comedy Desperately Seeking Susan. The Susan Seidelman-directed ode to New York City’s bohemian enclaves featured the pop star’s “Into the Groove” in the background of a smoky club scene, although it wasn’t on the official soundtrack. At the time of Susan’s release, Madonna had two other videos still in regular rotation on MTV, and because Madonna’s label was worried about over-saturating the market, “Groove” was only released as the B-side to the glittery “Angel,” rendering it ineligible for the Hot 100. But the punchy, commanding song got an accompanying, movie-promoting visual, and became both a channel staple and a signature Madonna hit anyway -- while its “you can dance... for inspiration” koan would later inspire the title for her 1987 remix LP You Can Dance.   

In April 1985, Madonna embarked on her first live trek: The Virgin Tour brought Madonna’s vision of pop into arenas around North America, kicking off in Seattle and wrapping up with five shows in New York City -- three at Radio City Music Hall and two at Madison Square Garden. The video for “Dress You Up,” the final single (and fourth straight top 5 hit) from Like a Virgin, used footage of the song’s live performance from the Cobo Center in Detroit, while the home video featuring the show in its entirety, Madonna Live: The Virgin Tour, came out in November.
Even while selling out arenas, Madonna remained a force in the clubs, with “Material Girl” and the double-A-sided “Into the Groove”/”Angel” single hitting No. 1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart after “Like a Virgin” began the year at its summit. She was also a stealth (yet utterly unmistakable) presence on her frequent collaborator Jellybean Benitez’s blippy, freestyle-influenced “Sidewalk Talk,” a No. 1 dance hit and yet another crossover top 40 entry on the Hot 100 by year’s end -- a final testament to Madonna’s first year of true omnipresence.

Gaga has been "following" Madonna for years.   Haha

Zaddies: Madonna's Bodyguards

she need to press them into a beautiful bound book with fab MX pics and sell it for 225 bucks (on sale!)

I like the days when Madonna followed interesting people. Today is not one of those days. 

I think when she meant Tokyo just because Chiba is part of the Tokyo Bay , lol  it's close enough (20 miles? M could jog there from her hotel back then     hahaha) so Tokyo it is (even if it's ..well... not )

I love how he's clearly still enjoying it and loves the track too!
he's entertaining too and seems like a nice guy as well

this!!

The four videos are masterpieces. 
1) Express Yourself (made me a fan).
2) Oh Father. 
3) Vogue.
4) Bad Girl

Gambler is wonderful, specially the live version. Oh she should've remembered this song more often.
