www.mtv.com/news/articles/1582308/20080226/timberlake_justin.jhtmlJustin Timberlake will induct Madonna into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the organization's March 10 ceremony, a rep for the Hall confirmed to MTV News Tuesday (February 26). Other inductors include Tom Hanks (for '60s group the Dave Clark Five), Lou Reed (for folk legend Leonard Cohen), Billy Joel (for John Mellencamp), Ben Harper (blues harmonica player Little Walter), Jerry Butler (legendary soul producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff) and John Fogerty (instrumental group the Ventures). The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony will take place at New York's Waldorf Astoria hotel on March 10. To be eligible for nomination this year, an artist must have issued their first single or album in 1982, which was the year Madonna put out her first dance tune, "Everybody." While no one would confuse her decades of dance-floor anthems with rock and roll, the most successful female artist of all time has had a remarkably strong, nearly three-decade career. Indiana's John Mellencamp began his career as a generic pop singer named Johnny Cougar in 1976, but over the course of nearly 30 years in music has become one of the most thoughtful and respected singer/songwriters of his generation. Initially dismissed as a Bruce Springsteen wannabe, Cougar hit his stride in the early '80s with such rock radio staples as "Jack and Diane" and "Hurts So Good." He soon became known for chronicling the plight of the downtrodden American farmer and worker, with such folk-inspired albums as Scarecrow and The Lonesome Jubilee. Along with Neil Young and Willie Nelson, Mellencamp helped found the annual Farm Aid concert benefiting small American farms. Known for his seriously deep, froggy baritone vocals, Canadian poet/songwriter Leonard Cohen has been recording albums since 1968 in styles ranging from pop to folk and cabaret. His most famous, and most frequently covered, song is the meditative "Hallelujah." One of the most popular bands from the British Invasion of the mid-1960s, the Dave Clark Five, rivaled the Beatles for a time in popularity thanks to hits like "Glad All Over." Rock instrumental band the Ventures, founded by Don Wilson and Bob Bogle, are best known for such hits as "Walk Don't Run" and "Hawaii Five-O," as well as their pioneering use of space-age sound effects on some of their recordings, which have made them the biggest-selling rock instrumental group of all time. Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff gave Motown a run for its money in the late 1960s and early 1970s, as they helped to pioneer the Philadelphia soul sound that was the signature of the Philadelphia International label. The production/songwriting team wrote hits for a galaxy of stars, including the O'Jays ("Love Train") and Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes ("If You Don't Know Me by Now"). The duo are being inducted in the non-performer category under the newly named Ahmet Ertegun Award, in honor of the late Atlantic Records co-founder. Hard-drinking blues player Little Walter died at age 37 in 1968, but not before putting his indelible stamp on the art of mouth-harp playing, including being one of the first blues harmonica players to run his harp microphone through an amplifier, pioneering the use of electronic distortion in popular music.

Im always on the fence about Madonna, I love some of her songs and of course I think the Immaculate Collection and Ray of Light are superb but somehow she is offsetting to me cuz of her attitude/personality. Like for instance I HATE how her accent changes with the wind and how she comes off as she is the GREATEST THANG since sliced bread(Im particular talkin about when she is interviewed). IDK, she just bothers me sometime like she is acting all the time

Don't hate on THE QUEEN.

The person who wrote that is a well know Australian DJ, and is interviewing Madonna today: www.mix1065.com.au/misc/unfiledarticles.asp?articleid=7606Hopefully the interview will give us even more information about this smash album!

Ew at that pic.... ---------------------------------
DROWNEDMADONNA.COM EXCLUSIVE - Following the junket in Los Angeles yesterday and now that the album release date is not so far, DrownedMadonna.com can give you more details about Madonna's new album "Hard Candy."
Candy Store - This is the same exact as the version which leaked months and months ago. (And we briefly talked about this on our community several weeks ago).
4 Minutes - Very high energy, back and forth between Madonna and Justin Timberlake the whole song. Timbaland speaks throughout, but does not rap nor sing on the track. The song ends with a breakdown and Timbaland's voice.
Give It 2 Me - Funky, dancey track, this time by Pharrell Williams, who is heard on the track.
Heartbeat - Has an 80's feel, totally catchy. Think "Future Lovers" only better! The chorus reflects one of the true Madonna/Pop moments on the album.
Miles Away - Melodic, haunting, while still catering to the target audience of this album. One of the best songs.
She's Not Me - Hip-Hop, cool, fresh, sexy and EDGY. Madonna sings to a partner about another girl and how this girl just can't measure up to Madonna. She tells him, "she can love you in the shower" but "she doesn't have my name".
Incredible - A sleeper track, this one is subtle at first, but its groovy beats can make it grow into a fan favorite.
Beat Goes On - Completely different, less melody and more beat driven than the demo that was leaked. As we already revealed on December 4, Kanye West raps rather long verse at the end.
Dance Tonight - This is a fun one. Totally old school, Madonna and Justin duet. Simple wood block beat throughout. "Inspirational" Hey You-ish bits in the chorus about not needing to be rich, famous and beautiful to be understood, with dance/club driven verses and bridge.
Spanish Lesson - In this filler Madonna speaks in various languages and keeps with the urban theme.
Devil - Previously known to fans as "Even the Devil Wouldn't Recognize You", it's neither a ballad nor a dance song. Could more fittingly be compared to the being the "Isaac" of the album. Fate, angels, stars, disguises and lies make up this cool, dark track that will have you "keep on comin' back for more" as one lyric goes.
Voices - Madonna stays with her recent theme of keeping the more wordy, reflective songs for her last track with this one. Probably the most lyrically deep song on the album, the song poses a range of trippy questions to the listener/subject and it has a bit of a slower tempo while still keeping a hot hip hop beat.

Yeah I think the album will be a top record. I'm finding the direction for this one very intriguing.
