Gonna have a celebration? All across the nation? Not gonna happen — unless you’re willing to fork over a truckload of money to the original Material Girl. In an interview that aired Friday on New York’s Z100-FM, to promote the release of her forthcoming album, Hard Candy (due April 29), Madonna hinted that fans may have heard "Like A Virgin," live for the very last time.
”I’m not sure I can sing ‘Holiday’ or ‘Like A Virgin’ ever again,” said the singer, who then quickly amended her statement upon recognizing the opportunity to advance from ridiculously rich to absurdly wealthy. ”I just can’t — unless someone paid me like $30 million or something.” Well gosh, I guess I can just go ahead and cancel this gazillion dollar check, then. Who knew Madonna came so cheap? This holiday’s more affordable than the Budget Inn.
(Here’s a photo of Madonna at 1985′s Live Aid concert, where she sang "Holiday," presumably for free, along with "Into the Groove.")
How much would you pay to hear Madonna’s classics live? Did you know you could have Tara Reid, Michael Bolton, Nick Lachey, AND Mariah Carey to come to your birthday party, all for less than 3.5 million dollars?! And hey, I bet for an extra 20 bucks you could convince Tara to sing "Like A Virgin."
wouldn’t pay a dime…..she’ll be 50 this year, right? latest photos of her bear an uncanny resemblance to Jessica Lange…..browlift anyone?
Brilliant move – but till she gets what ABBA was offered to perform, 100 million, she dosen’t get bragging rights.
Tara Ried??? To do what? Show up cracked with her Franken-boobs spilling out of her dress? Yuck.

i wouldn’t listen to madonna “sing” for free. she truly is delusional.
The woman was KIDDING people, kidding!
Must be a slow news week to make a thread on something so stupid.
Thank you for using the 80′s photo of Madonna because nowadays she makes old look old. And how much would I pay to see her sing an old hit live. Nothing. The recordings are just fine and I never want to see that weird writing she did in the “Hung Up” video. We get it, you have a great body, but you’ve got an old face.
Poor Madonna! She can’t sing the songs that made her what she is today. She needs to think about the fact that without Holiday and Like a Virgin, she would be some no name living in Michigan whining about how she never made it big.
PRICELESS!
You are all nuts! Madonna is the most successful female entertainer in history, TRUST. At this point, if you aren’t a fan, you probably never will be. It’s mainly because you don’t “get it” in a way that fans do – this is what separates fans from non-fans. Recently being inducted in to the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame, she has solidified her legend status, not that she has anything to prove. At the very least everyone should be inspired by everything she has been able to accomplish in her life instead of taking the negative route. Regardless, the statistics speak for themselves – look ‘em up. A performance by our last living true live entertainer and legend you ask? Priceless.
Could ew.com possibly remove this slanderous garbage linked to from this page? I thought we couldn’t provide links? Block this person or something!
Two words….head case.
I would pay alot more than 30 million..i mean she’s THE living legend/icon…she can ask and we all have to bow to her….
Also, she was joking….i mean do americans have no sense of irony or humour???? so sad!! no wonder she lives in london and married a Brit!
I wouldn’t pay more than the price of a concert ticket to see Madonna. But as for all those other people you mentioned….I think you would have to pay me the 30 million to be in a room with all those “superstars”.
don’t buy your argument. i happen to like artists with discernable talent and those who don’t essentially prostitute themselves to rise to fame and then try to act like a pretentious, prim English woman, like Madonna has.
I agree with “to carlo.” Why does everybody HAVE to be inspired by Madonna just because she’s been around for so long? She sold herself as a sex symbol for most of her life, and she was great at it, but why does that constitute an amazing achievement for a supposedly amazing talent? I don’t get it, and I certainly do not HAVE to respect her.
Carlo, the statistics show that Madonna is a great businesswoman, but not necessarily a great artist. Why is it that when everyone tries to convince me that Madonna is GREAT, they point to the stats? Sales don’t equal great musical or artistic talent.
