I am soooooo confused why you had to post the hideous text version of the cover. You should have posted the original, with no text. It's everything.

The post did come across a little dismissive in regards to Madonna's talent to me but it may be because I'm such a fan of hers. But thanks for the reply. I'll back down a little bit, although I stand by my assertion that Madonna can stand head-to-head with any of the male giants in music. :)

Hi Christopher, I'm sorry if the post seems dismissive, it's more that I don't think that many people have the talent to rival Jackson or Prince. And I think that you're right – the great irony is that brilliant talents like them can so easily ossify over the years, while Madonna's considerable gift (incredibly good taste and instincts) have in fact allowed her to stay relevant and compete with artists young enough to be her kids. Of course she co-produces, what I mean is that she has an uncanny knack for choosing who to work with. I do think she's one of the most important musical artists ever, for many reasons, so sorry if the post offended fans as it was actually supposed to celebrate her at her peak.

I'm so sick and tired of hearing that Madonna has no talent and that the only thing she's good at is picking the right creative people. What a bunch of sh*t. I'm sorry, but no one has that good of a track record to always pick the right producer time after time. The fact is, Madonna writes her own lyrics and co-writes her music, as well as co-produces (please do your research next time). So yes, she does have the music talent to rival MJ and Prince. And quite frankly, in many ways, she has surpassed both of them as far as the consistent quality of her music over the years. And I challenge any naysayers to actually listen to her albums from beginning to end. I recently did just that to a good friend who was one of those naysayers… the verdict: he said he was surprised at how much good stuff she has produced throughout the years and he's now a fan.

How embarrasing – this one is much worse than getting the year wrong! Thanks Jens, I did lots of research for this one and then made such a stupid mistake. Once again, noted and corrected.

The photographer's name is actually "Herb Ritts", not "Ritz".

Maybe it wasn't just the art director that was short on ideas
