Madonna Month (ok 6 weeks) is coming to a close and it’s going out with a bang! First, Yasi is joined by the original Madonna influence, her mom Fattaneh Salek! From picking Madonna favorites while still in a stroller to transcribing lyrics for future sing-a-longs, it all started here.
Then, Patrik Sandberg is back to help Yasi answer all your burning Madonna questions. What was Madonna’s best hair era? Who would be the dream Madonna alt rock collab? And most importantly, why isn’t Gen Z properly celebrating Madonna?! Plus, their top 5 Madonna songs ranked (but we still don’t agree with rankings)!

The demo of "Into the Groove" is in the movie: the version that was released as a single/video is different and cleaned up.
"Medusa" was a Julie Brown character and a full movie parody.
Also, as I write this you're talking about songs that make you happy...mine are Live For Loving You by Gloria Estefan and Baby Baby AND Every Heartbeat by Amy Grant (I can't separate those two songs, they are Siamese twins in my heart)...but only this year it occurred to me that I can't listen to those songs without smiling ❤❤❤
There’s a Gen Z review on Confessions 2 and he loved it but also stated Gaga is his vibe. He then said he couldn’t get M.
I like Gaga but to me he’s basically saying “Abracadabra amor oo na na” is better lyrically. Maybe it’s the culture behavior as well, they are fed with short cheesy pop songs when we were thrown with songs about religions, abortion, grief, etc when we were teens. 🤷🏽♂️
