Just checked. Still no Madonna in iTunes. What gives?
they should at least sell the whole dang album.
I think Madonna has struck a deal with Apple to promote her new album via a special iPod like what U2 did. She is one of the only other artists who is as big as U2 - and the fact that she has a new album coming out this Fall would be HUGE. And of course her entire catalog of music will be made availalbe on iTunes with enormous promotion.
People! This means the Apple phone is gonna be B-I-G big! Motorola would not be getting behind a product with such a massive amount of spending if theyy didn't think it wouldn't be huge. A good sign to be sure...
Don't get too excited. It could also be the fstart of the irst real iPod killer.
What, no Michael Bolton? The horor, the horror!!
An iPod Madonna with her new album and her entire catalog of insightful, heart moving hits! Damn this waiting, damn it to hell!

Madonna, Green Day, Little Richard and others
The "has been" collection. Why not Sinatra, Caruso and Al Jolson"
f#@k !!! who advises these people
This wil be big for Motorola, as adding the iTunes / iPod brand to its already popular RAZR product will no doubt make it an instant hit. It's worth the investment in marketing it.
I still think it's not *so* big for Apple, if it really is just an iTunes phone. Unless there's something else.. announcement of iTunes phones with multiple service providers, direct highspeed wireless download from the iTMS to the phone, etc.
We'll see, I guess.
DBS -
Superstars, all of them. And Green Day just picked up 7 MTV awards last week for their current less-punk-than-before-but-still-not-quite-rock hit.
If they signed the endorsement deal today, how much more you think they coulda got?
DBS,
The concept as quoted by MDN/iPodDN above:
"Motorola has signed an artist from every generation to appear in the ads."
You obviously missed that part.
Madonna. Very interesting.
She was heavily involved in the Windows XP launch. yuck.
"...Why not Sinatra, Caruso and Al Jolson"
f#@k !!! who advises these people - DBS
DBS-
ummm ... ROKR. Get it?
applicious
"Why not Sinatra, Caruso and Al Jolson"
because they're dead?
Dude, I need a MadonnaPod. It would be almost as excellent as a CyndiLauperPod.
Against my better judgement, I'm getting excited about this. As G Spank said, you don't put all that money into your ad campaign if the product is as lame as some of us have expected it to be.
""Why not Sinatra, Caruso and Al Jolson"
because they're dead?"
that didnt stop them from using biggie, hendrix or uh beethoven now did it
Madonna? She's an old tired broad. She had her days in the sun years ago, and hasn't yet realized yet that they are over!
Kind of like Micheal Jackson!
At least she isn't an alleged child molester.
MW = put, as in "Put her out of our misery!"
Has anyone thought of the possibility that Madonna is one of the biggest video artist ever. If Apple is planning to launch a video iPod, soing so with a complete Madonna boxed set that includes all of her videos would be HUGE!

I thought Madonna does not want her music available at iTunes because she does not believe in selling songs individually. Has something changed?
