On the surface, the single-disc hits compilation The Immaculate Collection appears to be a definitive retrospective of Madonna's heyday in the '80s. After all, it features 17 of Madonna's greatest hits, from "Holiday" and "Like a Virgin" to "Like a Prayer" and "Vogue." However, looks can be deceiving. It's true that The Immaculate Collection contains the bulk of Madonna's hits, but there are several big hits that aren't present, including "Angel," "Dress You Up," "True Blue," "Who's That Girl," and "Causing a Commotion." The songs that are included are frequently altered. Everything on the collection is remastered in Q-sound, which gives an exaggerated sense of stereo separation that often distorts the original intent of the recordings. Furthermore, several songs are faster than their original versions and some are faded out earlier than either their single or album versions, while others are segued together. In other words, while all the hits are present, they're simply not in their correct versions. Nevertheless, The Immaculate Collection remains a necessary purchase, because it captures everything Madonna is about and it proves that she was one of the finest singles artists of the '80s. Until the original single versions are compiled on another album, The Immaculate Collection is the closest thing to a definitive retrospective.

This Madonna video was so controversial when it came out - with all its S&M bedroom scenes & Madonna make out sessions - that it was banned from airtime on MTV. (Ironically it became the highest selling video single on VHS soon after release in 1990.) No version of the video exists in its original entirety on YouTube. In the one below, the closest to a legit full-length I could find, Madge's v...

Guy Ritchie needs an award. The man put up with Madonna for 7.5 years. Today confirmation comes that the entertainment couple (he a film director, she the queen of pop) are officially getting a divorce.

The October announcement of the Madonna/Ritchie divorce was soon overshadowed by the payout Madge reportedly gave to her second ex-husband - an estimated $76-$92 million plus the couples sprawling English countryside estate. Yesterday the couple released a joint statement basically telling the world to mind their own business, and used their babies as an excuse for everyone to hush up and go on...
