Mary J. Blige tells The Sun she wants to collaborate with Madonna. “The woman is incredible and I’m not afraid to publicly say it would be my dream to collaborate with her,†she said. “To perform with her would be amazing. I love the way she reinvents herself constantly, she’s an inspiration. So, I guess Madonna, it’s over to you.â€

Rita Ora is really bowled over Madonna and has only good word to say about her. Here is what Rita has to say about Madonna…

"Madonna is amazing. Imagine reinventing yourself like that? It’s so brave. It’s like a snake that sheds its skin all the time. It’s pretty hard to do that. And she’s the nicest woman but really ‘gangster’ with it. I wouldn’t be surprised if she grew up in the ’hood. But above all she’s a business woman, 100 percent." ~ Rita Ora

Taylor Swift new album, 1989, is influenced by "Like a Prayer"-era Madonna,  Annie Lennox and Phil Collins, as the singer herself said to Rolling Stone magazine.
 
Taylor Swift‘s cover shoot for Rolling Stone magazine is more than a statement. The shoot is very reminescent of Madonna‘s by Herb Ritts. Cherish!

David Fincher on working with Madonna
 
PLAYBOY: You directed some of Madonna’s most stylish videos, such as “Vogue†and “Bad Girl,†the latter depicting the singer as a film noir femme fatale who gets strangled with panty hose. Why do you think that Madonna never translated to the big screen?
 
FINCHER: Madonna is very crafty. She’s street-smart. The video directors who did the best work with her—romantic, amazing stuff like what Jean-Baptiste Mondino did—were the ones she allowed to take risks and the ones who made videos she would throw herself into. I made commercials to make money, but I did music videos as a kind of film school. I learned that the way to be with Madonna was to follow her impetus, because the artist in a music video is not only the star but also the studio. I could say to Madonna, “I need you to do it again. I need you to stop blinking. I need you to get your fucking chin down. And I need you to be better.†Whether it was Madonna, Brad Pitt or Ben Affleck, I’m well aware that the work got financed because of them. But they needed to know I had to get them off their mark, get them to a place where it might get warm, because there might be friction.

Paloma Faith jumped to Madonna’s defence

https://nz.entertainment.yahoo.com/news/article/-/25068168/paloma-faith-lied-about-age-to-get/

The 33-year-old beauty also jumped to Madonna's defence and hit out at people who criticise the 56-year-old singer's revealing outfits and sexy dance moves.

 

She explained: "People talk about Madonna, saying she should stop wearing all that stuff, she's too old for that kind of thing now. But why? She's been doing it all along. She's entitled to wear that but at the same time, it was important for her to do that, back in the day."

Jennifer Lopez loves MadonnaJennifer Lopez was interviewed on the red carpet at Fashion Rocks 2014. When they asked her who her favourite musical style people were, she replied…

"I think mine go back a little bit. Like I love Tina Turner’s style on stage, I loved Madonna when I was growing up, I was very influenced by old Hollywood. It was different things. Like the musicals, and how they were in that. And I think you’ll see that in my performance tonight. Those are my things."

Hazel-E: My all time favorite is MadonnaHazel-E, star of VH1′s Love & Hip Hop, talked with The Source about music…

The Source: Who inspired you musically?Hazel-E: My musical influences, my all time favorite is Madonna, you know. I was a military brat grew up in Colorado, so I’m a pop, rock, hip hop kind of chick, you know. Madonna definitely is my first love in addition to her Gwen Stefani, Fergie. I feel like they’re like pop rapper even though they’re pop artists.
