album: Like a Prayer
year released: 1989
label: Sire/London/Rhino
artist: Madonna

This is the moment Madonna peaked as a pop star and mass media manipulator. First, the manipulation. In the title’s track’s video, Madonna kisses a saint, shows off some self-induced stigmata and dances in a field of burning crosses. Caving in to protests from religious groups, Pepsi pulled out of a Madonna sponsorship deal (she held on to a $5 million payday) and the whole episode generated enough publicity to ensure the album’s debut at No. 1. Brilliant. As it happens, so was the record. “Like a Prayer” was a genuinely soulful first single and “Express Yourself” merged Madonna’s dance sensibility with her strongest feminist message. Stephen Bray, Patrick Leonard and Prince (yes, that Prince) rescued the few middling tracks with production that elevated Madonna’s voice out of its early bubble gum phase and into something resembling a real instrument.

Madonna will adopt a second Malawian baby, as soon as one-year-old David Banda has settled into her family.
The singer and husband Guy Ritchie will return to the Lilongwe orphanage where they found David – and they have their heart set on adopting a girl next time around.
Madonna even wants to take biological children Lourdes, ten and six-year-old Rocco with her.
She says: “I’m going to adopt another Malawian child very quickly. A baby girl this time, in order to redress the balance.
“But first I would like to give Rocco and Lourdes a little time to get used to David.
“The next time I go Africa to visit the orphanage, I am going to take the children with me. I want to open their minds to the rest of the world.”

Malawi’s High Court said Monday it will rule in one week’s time whether a coalition of Malawian human rights and child advocacy groups should help decide whether pop star Madonna is fit to adopt a motherless Malawian toddler.
Justice Andrew Nyirenda adjourned the case after hearing arguments from a 67-member coalition that includes the state-run Malawi Human Rights Commission and maintains that the adoption proceedings have been irregular. His ruling was likely to have far-reaching consequences in a country where, largely due to AIDS, an estimated 2 million children have lost one or both parents and hundreds are adopted by foreigners every year.
Madonna has said she met all the country’s requirements. And David Banda’s father, who put the toddler in an orphanage shortly after his wife died of childbirth complications, has said the human rights group’s lawsuit threatens his son’s future. But child advocacy groups have said the lack of clarity in Malawi when it comes to foreign adoptions could be exploited by child traffickers or pedophiles.
