Madonna

Madonna. THe superlative female performer of the 20th Century: Singer-Actress-Producer-Businesswoman-Personality. She's been prodded, profile, praised, persecuted. Yet throught it all, she remains on top with "absolutely no regrets." LOOK for Madonna's confirmed world tour, 2000!!!

Tori Amos
|
|
The first time I heard her CD "Little Earthquakes," I was alone in my dorm room, Michigan State. The irony of the music was--and is--delicious: beautiful piano melodies accompany harsh, fever-sick lyrics. I knew right away this was a musical style with which I could identify; it blends a bitter sweet view of the world to which I subscribe. But then again, I never was a cornflake boy.

Sheryl Crow
|
|
In an age of boybands and over-produced artists, ("Wow, that computer has a great voice) it's refreshing to see a strong woman who kicks ass. Gorgeous and strong, vulnerable and honest, Sheryl Crow chronicles love and life in an honest, poetic way. She definitely taught me to run, baby run, baby run. And she makes me happy, so it can't be that bad.
