Boy Wonder: “Ack! Listen to that girl screeching on the radio. That’s terrible! She’s not going to have much of a career singing like that!”
Me: “Well, this is one of her first hits. She’s gone on to be a huge music star.”
Boy Wonder: “REALLY? You’re kidding, right? Because that’s not singing.”
Me: “Seriously! I think she’s had a few singing lessons since then.”
Boy Wonder: “Who is she?”
Me: “Ever heard of Madonna?”
What song was he critiquing? Because I never thought Madonna was the greatest singer ever – but I never thought she screeched, either.
My guess is “Material Girl” Am I close? 🙂

Close… “like a virgin”… which I had turned down so he couldn’t hear the lyrics. That might have contributed to his perception. 😀 ~W
Oh…hahaha! I love Madonna…well, at least I like her a lot. I am amazed at her constant recreation of herself. Kind of reminds me of what we’re all asked to do, only she does in front of a larger audience, and with a lot more money…

It made me laugh. I seem to like every other album she does. ~W
just…too…darn…funny!

I thought so too! ~W
Ha, Ha. BoyWonder has not yet realized the power of “striking a pose” on the dance floor!

He’s still mystified by the whole process. ~W
Madonna has worn out her welcome though and isn’t so popular any more. I did like some of her songs though, screeching and all.

I have no idea how her career is going… I don’t keep up. I’m more of an Indy rock girl, myself. ~W
that’s hilarious… and if she didn’t have such a compelling stage presence… totally true!

Yeah, I hear she does amazing concerts. I’ve never been a big enough fan to go to a concert… being “crowd” adverse, I tend to only take in concerts of people I adore. ~W
What is funny is that I said that exact same thing back in 1985 : )

I remember being so enamored of her when she first made the scene—and all the adults around me making the same statements. I will say this, it’s kinda funny to discover how much staying power she has. Evidently, I’m raising an “old soul” in the backseat of my car. Heh. ~W
NOW that is the best thing I have ever heard!! I LOVE that story!!!!! xxoxox
