The music video for Madonna‘s “Cherish” was part of a childhood memory for Kim Kardashian. Kardashian knew the Material Girl from a young age and said many positive things about her. Interestingly, “Cherish” was a major change of pace for Madonna at a time when she was known for scandals.
Kim Kardashian was there when Madonna shot ‘Cherish’
Madonna was known for her provocative music videos. For her love song “Cherish,” she toned down her image. The black-and-white video depicts the “True Blue” singer frolicking at the beach with a group of mermen. For an artist whose videography includes Bdsm, burning crosses, and kisses with Britney Spears, “Cherish” was a rare moment of wholesome innocence — even if the camera lingers a lot on the bodies of Madonna and her aquatic friends.

Madonna‘s “Cherish” sounds like a normal, if abnormally infectious, hit song. Notably, the Material Girl said she was not in a normal frame of mind when she wrote it. The track has an interesting connection to several other Madonna hits.
Madonna revealed what she thinks when she writes hit songs
In the late 1980s, Madonna’s image became even more provocative. With the release of her album Like a Prayer, the singer attacked the church with the album’s title track, embraced feminism with “Express Yourself,” and denounced her father in the tune “Oh Father.” One of the least inflammatory tracks on the album is the peppy love song “Cherish.” While much of Like a Prayer sounded current and hip, “Cherish” sounds like it’s from the 1950s or early 1960s.
During a 1991 interview with Rolling Stone, Carrie Fisher asked Madonna if she had ever written tunes during a manic high.

Madonna‘s songs have provoked many controversies over the years, but only one was accused of promoting violence against women. The Material Girl interpreted the track differently. Notably, the tune in question was from a hit movie that starred Madonna and a major movie star she was dating at the time.
Madonna wrote a controversial song at the request of Warren Beatty
One of Madonna’s most famous movie roles was the femme fatale Breathless Mahoney in the comic book adventure Dick Tracy. In that film, Madonna’s then-boyfriend Warren Beatty played the title character. The film inspired the album I’m Breathless, which is most known for the house song “Vogue.” I’m Breathless also included another hit single: the jazz tune “Hanky Panky.” “Hanky Panky” is a rather risque paen to … spanking.

Madonna‘s Like a Prayer has a suggestive title track, but it also has some moments of innocence. For example, one of the tracks from the album was inspired by a little girl. The response to the track in different countries was polarized. Notably, the song in question inspired one of the most uncharacteristic videos of Madonna’s career.
Madonna’s ‘Like a Prayer’ era was a change of pace for her
Like a Prayer was the moment Madonna’s music became a lot more personal. It deals with the Materials Girls’ feelings about religion, her family, and her divorce from Sean Penn. The album was co-produced by Patrick Leonard, the unsung songwriting maestro who co-wrote “Like a Prayer,” “Express Yourself,” and other Madonna hits.
During a 2017 interview with Boy Culture, Leonard discussed why Madonna’s music became more personal with Like a Prayer. “I think it happens naturally,” he replied.

Long before Queen Elsa, Madonna took the world by storm with “Frozen.” It’s a haunting ballad and stands apart from much of her work by because it’s emotionally provocative rather than sexually provocative. While nothing about the song’s lyrics is controversial the tune was still banned in Belgium for years. Here’s a look at why that happened and why the band was eventually lifted.
Madonna’s ‘Frozen’ was the subject of 2 legal cases with 2 different results
Whenever a song gets too big, it seems like plagiarism cases lie just around the corner. According to MuuMuse, Belgian songwriter Salvatore Acquaviva claimed Madonna’s “Frozen” plagiarized the opening bars of his song “Ma Vie Fout L’camp.” Acquaviva won a copyright case against the Material Girl in 2005. For that reason, “Frozen” was banned in Belgium, halting all sales and radio play of the song.

Madonna‘s Ray of Light is many things but it’s not a trashy album. Despite this, seven of the songs from Ray of Light might’ve ended up in the trash. One of the producers from the album recalled an experience that terrified him while he was working for the Queen of Pop.

Madonna is the Queen of Pop, but that doesn’t mean that everyone is going to respect her as an artist.

Madonna released more hits than just about anyone but not all of them are vocally challenging. Despite this, her co-writer said one of her hits proves the Material Girl has the best singing voice ever. He also revealed what he thinks of people who don’t see her as a real artist.

Madonna‘s “Like a Prayer” is one of the most controversial songs of all time, with some Christians finding its music video offensive. That’s especially interesting, considering that a Christian choir worked on the song. They had some interesting things to say about the song’s creation.
Madonna’s ‘Like a Prayer’ music video went farther than the Queen of Pop ever had before
Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” has one of the most inflammatory music videos of all time. It shows Madonna getting … busy … with a Catholic saint on an altar. Some could see it as a metaphor for wanting to commune with God, but a lot of Christians saw it as a licentious desecration of their faith. While Madonna had previously released risque videos for songs such as “Like a Virgin” and “Open Your Heart,” she crossed a new line with “Like a Prayer.”

Some of Madonna‘s biggest songs, such as “Like a Prayer” and “Ray of Light” touch on spiritual topics. Despite this, “Live to Tell” feels thoroughly secular. When asked about the song, the Queen of Pop said that she felt that she was having a supernatural experience while she was writing the tune. Shockingly, Madonna almost gave “Live to Tell” to another singer.
Madonna said ‘Live to Tell’ could be about many topics
Channeling is a paranormal phenomenon where people supposedly make contact with otherworldly beings, such as gods, angels, demons, aliens, or dead people. Many books about New Age topics are based on channeled material. While not everyone believes in channeling, the basic concept of it is similar to creativity. Artists often feel like their ideas come from another source beyond their understanding.

I received Madonna’s fourth studio album, Like a Prayer, on cassette for my 10th birthday. The liner notes were scented with patchouli oil to evoke the sensory experience of walking into a Catholic church, and you could smell it even through the shrink wrap. After devouring some cake, I rushed to my room to listen to the album.
It wasn’t like anything I’d grown up hearing on Top 40 radio, including Madonna’s own past hits, which I was only peripherally aware of. “Oh Father” sounded familiar, a cousin to “Live to Tell,” but it was darker and weirder. “Till Death Do Us Part” was more my speed, but the song’s lyrics were confusing and unsettling to my unrefined ears. Rolling Stone called it “as close to art as pop music gets.”

Inspiration for great music can come from the unlikeliest of places. Madonna’s “Open Your Heart” was inspired by a vegetarian restaurant and a server who worked there. One of the song’s co-writers said the track’s prominence was literally a dream come true.
Madonna’s ‘Open Your Heart’ was originally named after a restaurant
“Open Your Heart” was co-written by Madonna, Peter Rafelson, and Gardner Cole. During a 2005 interview with Madonna Tribe, Cole discussed the origin of the song. “The song was started with my good friend Peter Rafelson, we worked on the song for over a year,” he said. “The original title was ‘Follow Your Heart,’ which is the name of a vegetarian restaurant in Los Angeles. I was in love with a waitress there named Lisa, and she was the original inspiration for the lyrics.”
Cole recalled the Queen of Pop’s contribution to the song.

Madonna and Cyndi Lauper are two 1980s divas who will always be associated with one another. Around the same time, they made some of the most famous dance songs ever, revolutionized the music video as an art form, and became major LGBTQ icons. Notably, one of Madonna’s biggest songs was initially meant for Lauper. Here’s a look at how the Queen of Pop came to record one of her hits.
A pair of songwriters wrote Madonna’s ‘Open Your Heart’ for Cyndi Lauper
Madonna’s “Open Your Heart” is one of her most famous dance-pop tunes. According to Stereogum, Gardner Cole and Peter Rafelson penned the original version of “Open Your Heart” for Lauper. Originally, “Open Your Heart” was going to be a synth-rock song. Considering Lauper has a background in that style of music, having been a member of the band Blue Angel, the song might have worked for her.

Hopes that Madonna would re-claim her pop crown from Lady Gaga with "Mdna" were dashed when the album plunged on the charts shortly after its March release -- a victim of weak single choices and, some say, a lack of promotion on the Material Girl's part.
Now one high-profile producer is opening up about the experience on Facebook, saying he wishes "Mdna" would've turned out differently and blaming the album's failure on rush marketing and timing.
"[Madonna] was on form and better than ever with her singing and writing and musicality, and was having a great time," writes William Orbit, who previously collaborated with the pop star on her 1998 album "Ray of Light," which won four Grammy awards. "We had songs lined up that were breathtaking."

On this day 53 years ago in Bay City, Michigan, pop royalty was born in the form of Madonna Louise Ciccone, the third child of Silvio Ciccone and her namesake mother, Madonna Louise Fortin Ciccone.
Madonna’s rise to stardom is legendary. She briefly attended the University of Michigan on a dance scholarship before dropping out to move to New York City in late 1977. She famously arrived in NYC with just $35 in her pocket and worked briefly at a Dunkin’ Donuts before taking on odd jobs as a backup dancer and model (which came back to bite her in the butt after she got famous and some nude pics taken in ’78 were published in Penthouse and Playboy in ’85).

It's been a good week for Madonna, as the episode of "Glee" devoted entirely to her music was a big hit. She can also celebrate that fact that on this day in 1989, her song "Like a Prayer" ascended to the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100. It was the seventh Madonna song to top the chart and would remain in that position for three weeks ("Like a Prayer" was unseated by Bon Jovi's "I'll Be There For You").
"Like a Prayer" was the first single from the album of the same name. Co-written by Madonna and Patrick Leonard (her collaborator on hits like "La Isla Bonita," "Cherish" and "Who's That Girl") and featuring a bass guitar part played by "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson, "Like a Prayer" has become one of Madonna's signature songs, encapsulating everything that has made her a fascinating artist: A great dance beat, a killer vocal,...
