 a) Pop icon
She has had many years of success, and sorne may say
that, now in her fifties, it's time she slowed down and left the
stage to younger performers. But the truth is that Madonna
5 still puts on an amazing show and her tours continue to
sel! out.
She's had more top ten hits than Elvis Presley and is the
most successful female recording artist in history. To say
that Madonna is a celebrity is an understatement: she 's a
10 veritable pop icon.
b) _ _
So how did she reach iconic status? The genius of Madonna
is in the way she manages her image and markets the globnl
to rea!ize that
super-brand that is Madonna. lt was her genius
15 marketing was the key to her success as long ago as 1979,
which was when she registered "Madonna" as a trademnrl,.
Madonna has always been a great consolidator of trcnds,
group. 1 wasn 't a hippie ora stoner, so I ended up being
the weirdo. 1 was interested in classical ballet and music,
and the kids were really mean if you were different. 1 was
one of those people that people were mean to."
40 Madonna later hitchhiked to New York with $35 in her
pocket, where a short struggle was followed by a swift
ascent to stardom. She began to bleach her dark hair, and
the "material girl" was born - she had her first mainstream
pop success with Holiday in 1984 and has never looked
45 back. Over her career to date, she has produced an
impressive catalogue of albums, world tours , videos, movies,
docurnentaries, and books.

that you 'II recall her career as a series of images: Madonna
in lacy gloves, bare midriff, and bangles; Madonna as
Marilyn in satin; Madonna as Evita; Madonna as geisha,
dominatrix, cowgirl, and mystic earth mother. lt 's no wonder
25 that she's known as the queen of reinvention. In fact, she
prides herself on an ever-evolving look, style, and sound.
She even called one of her world tours the "Re-lnvention
Tour."

30 But behind ali the masks, who is the real Madonna?
Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone was born in 1958 in
Michigan and raised in the suburbs of Detroit, the third of
slx children. Her mother died when she was six. At school ,
she was bullied because she was different. In an interview
35 for Vanity Fair, she explains: "I didn 't fit in with the popular
e-)
,,~ Ro: • 0 11.i;d ,:iff s1 cJge , Madonna is no stranger to
con tr oversy. over the years , she has shocked people with
her choice of clothes, song tilles, religious imagery, and , at
the MTV music awards in 2003, a lingering kiss with Britney
Spears. The Oueen of Pop is well aware of the importance
60 of keeping her name in the headlines and, ever the
marketing genius, she knows exactly how to do it.
f) _
But she isn 't ready to relinquish her share of the limelight
yet. At an age when many wealthy pop stars would opt
65 to retire gracefully to their country residence, pul on a few
pounds, and give the young ones a chance, Madonna
comes back again and again, repackaged, new, and
improved. In her own words: "I want more, more, more.
l'm not stepping down, l'm stepping up career-wise. There's
70 no exit plan."
