Would be B-class if referenced. High-importance because of the way it has been used to define fashion as an industry, as described in article. Daniel Case 16:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chart success

I have removed the text stating the song 'kept several songs off the number one spot in May 1990'. Every number one song keeps several songs off the top spot by definition! Smurfmeister 09:15, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV

The music video section of this article is hardly neutral - it definitely needs some reworking. Triggy 00:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

It is assumed in this section that the timbre change in her voice was not intended. Often timbre changes are intended for emphasis. Can someone provide a reason why it would not be intended in this case? Laikalynx 01:18, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
It is apparent from all audible factors (notice i also stated the recorded atmosphere), that the work was revisited. One can even hear a difference in the "bleed" from the headphones of the singer if one uses a hi fi system and good headphones. That is exactly how I first noticed it, and I have no special musical credentials whatsoever: the fact is readily apparent and creates its own impression. I also never said it wasn't intended, I merely pointed out that is a case of audible overdubbing and suggested a rewrite as a possible reason (Madonna disclosed on the MTV documentary that accompanied Ray of Light's release that she had rewritten a song during production: namely "Skin", and Mirwais would reveal that she rewrote material during production of American Life as well. Almost all artists do this, it's part of their creative process. Furthermore, it is highly unlikely that it would NOT be intended. I did not intend any negative connotations whatsoever, merely that it's a rare case of noticable overdubbing, full stop--Tednor 14:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Can you explain this a little more thoroughly? I don't hear the changes you're talking about. I've listened to every version of the song I have on CD (I'm Breathless, Immaculate Collection and remixes from the Vogue Single) and can't hear any change in the vocal during the rap. I'm assuming that when you say the rap you're referring to the "Greta Garbo and Monroe..." section. -- Davecool, 09:43, 5 February 2007.

The alternating stanzas within the rap were recorded at different times and likely in different places. 04:16, 5 August 2007 (UTC)Tednor

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Madonna-Vogue.jpg

Image:Madonna-Vogue.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
