she may not be popular like she used to in the states but I think its obvious that she still has alot of star power and influence.

reality check madonna may be almost 50 and married and have kids so does gwen stefani shes almost 40 and still have many more years to come in the long run to even match up to her at which point she never will and madonna 120 mil deal is one thing she deserves after 30 years in the industry oh yes and im sure this year will be her year with the right producers and writers she back in the spotlight once again and always will. cause her reinvention course is what she does best.

All the negative crap. Music is to be heard and enjoyed. What has happened to you young punks. She has produced quality sounds and performed top notch stage shows. Enjoy music and stop the negative crap.

Who listens to Madonna anymore when you have Gwen shaking things up. What kid wants to pay to see an almost 50 year old married mother on stage. Some people just don’t have enough money. I hope she bombs like every movie she’s made.

well with all these parisbritneylindsay stunts going on today, we finally know who the “next madonna” is….MADONNA HERSELF is the NEXT MADONNA.

madonna you rulessss the world of music

Henry Chinaski, you’re the best.

Michelle, the contraction for “you are” is you’re.

Michelle, you’re the best.

but you’re not, right?
Shut up.

YOUR ALL JUST JEALOUS!

OMG, Kitty Cat, I wish I were like you, purr-fect spelling and all.

Once again, Madonna proves she’s one step ahead of the rest. In 1995, the glass mirror for CD sales was 15 million here in the U.S. Now it’s 5.8 million. CD sales aren’t going to make her that much money. Madonna knows touring is her bread and butter. Hopefully she still has some good music left in her.

piggie piggie piggie……….

Hey, I’m not a huge fan of hers, but good for her. She’s outlasted all her critics, that’s for sure. I just hope the lady knows when to stop. Doing all those flip flops could get her arthritis you know.

Hey alarmed and psychic V, Lettermen DIDN’T earn $60 M last year, more like $30-40+ million. Madonna earned $70+ million, more than anybody u mentioned save Oprah.. As to other income, Madonna earns BIG from endorsements ($8M from H&M, several mil from Ariake Japan, $15M from Microsoft a few years back for use of Ray of Light for the XP launch), and thru music publishing.

The $120 M covers ONLY 3 albums, and she still stands to retain for herself about 80-90% of her tour grosses(!).. Madonna is brilliant, though this deal is risky for LN and even for her if she doesn’t deliver– but I’m sure they have safety clauses for the deal.. If Madonna REALLY does a world tour (including all continents save Africa and Antartica), she’d pay LN in no time.

Sounds like this live nation is a one stop for all that ecompasses being an artists, sounds good, I hope Madonna continues to make good music, lets face it she is not that young, but that probably will not stop her, in anyway, personally I would like to see her in more movies or directing would be good in my opinion.

RE Hellon Wheels, you spelled “sleeve” wrong, you fuckin’ doink!!!!!!! EVEN I, a tabby, know how to spell it!!!!!!!

12 MILL A YEAR THATS HER RAISE? SHES MORE OF AN ANT THEN WE ALL THOUGHT– THEN LETTERMAN AT 60 MILL A YEAR FOR SITTIN IN AN EASY CHAIR AND HANGIN OUT WITH FOLKS—NOT2 MENTION MOVIE BIZZ ACTRESS DEMI ,HALIE,NICOLE ,JULIA–AVERAGE–WHAT @20 MILL FOR FILMING 3-6 MONTHS-NOT TO MENT. LADY O—-WELL AND JUST THINK SHE SURRENDERING ALL HER ~~RIGHTS AND CONTROL~~THE COMPANY OWNS HER SOUL——-SAD SOUNDS LIKE HER V SPOT HAS ACTUALY IN REALITY LOST ITS POWER

Live Nation will make every penny back on a single tour. She is still ahge concert draw. T-shirts, digital downlaods, dvds, Madonna is now the Lillian Vernon of pop music. Flood the market with product someone is bound to purchase something. Unlimited edition with an unlimited supply…

Hey retard the alarmed ists

She might not sell 10 million albums like she use to in the U.S., but she still has a 2 million people fan base in the states and about 14 million worldwide. Also, add on top that her concert tours over the past few years have topped close to 600 million.

I think she still is relevant.

another wake up call to the industry.evolve or die.

Madonna shows the road again in music industry. She always finds ways to reinvent herself so we have a lot to see

she’s a tired old skank, she would have been worth 120 mil maybe when she was a young skank, but now… ridiculous!

does this women even make relevant music anymore… at least 120 million dollars relevant? aside from live show grosses, i’m not sure where she even makes money anymore…

to bad this did’nt happen years ago when Mo was in her prime. i hope that she has some more tricks up her sleave. Mo has more talent then most of the twinkies that call themselves pop stars these days.
