I am a long life madonna fan but i do think she would be very difficult to work with but most perfectionists are.
Great interview with Chris Ciccone, awesome talk!
Christopher and Madonna made magic together. There will never be another Blond Ambition or Girlie Show.

Even today artists are striving for the look and feel of those 2 shows. Changed live performances forever and I think he had a big part in that. Madonna admitted as much in Truth or Dare.

Nathan Fuller The thing is that was all the making of Madonna. She’s now had 11 tours with the current one included. She’s had many producers and assistants but it’s always been her vision she pulls off. Chris didn’t have much to do with Blond Ambition other than dresser

This is so enjoyable , excellent interview! He's right, at 24 years old , a person is still so young , still finding their way, still not really knowing the real world and the people's attitudes.
He only said the truth about Madonna. There are ugly sides of her many people have experienced. And so full of herself it's embarassing

Funny how his assessment of Gaga ended up the opposite of his description.

You guys are so funny. I subscribed to your channel. I bought Christopher's book back in 2008. It was a very good read. He was with Madonna before she became famous. Christopher was one of Madonna's back up dancer. He's in her Lucky Star video.
Dolly Parton was really nice to him and he called her a Muppet face. Stay classy, Chris.

For a song, though Gaga was nominated for an acting Oscar, and M wasn't (snobbery from the Academy... she should have at least gotten a nomination for Evita). Madonna never had a song that she wrote that was a contender for the Oscars. Masterpiece (GG winner, sorry, Elton) could have been but it was used in the credits and didn't qualify. Two songs that she sang won Oscars.

I like her brother. He sounds truthful and down to earth and he is one handsome man with a beautiful voice. He has a right to speak HIS truth. She ruled his life for a long time and sounds like a classic narcissist who can be unpredictable and cruel. I liked her music in the 80's but I don't like her image now. She's bizarre, nutty, controlling and I bet she's a horror to work with. You couldn't pay me to go and see her!

I just finished listening to the book. I won't make any conclusions about Madonna through her brother's dragging. That relationship is between them. I love Madonna as an artist. I don't know the woman, but given what we have and what I think, I think we would fail to get along.
Christopher's book takes the knife and stabs his sister where it hurts the most and then pretends that he was just telling a nice story about their lives together. If I were madonna I would stay far away. On the other hand madonna was not nice at all to Christopher and sounds like a cold, self centered person. What a sad family.

I think he's trash. Okay, so he made scale on a video and didn't earn the going rate for some of his work... but... he made a fortune, pulled in drugs and sex when... let's face it... he's no looker and never could have had his level of fame and success without her. He was 'paid' in other ways and should frankly be grateful for her, even if she's a tough person at times. I can understand that he may even be bitter about it, but you also have to think how it affects your reputation to write a hatchet job book like this, and how it will affect the relationships within the whole family. He's a prick. She lifted him up for years (even if it was a bumpy ride), and then he stabs her in the back. I will agree with him on one thing though... Guy Richie is a horse's ass.

The thing about Monopoly and Park Road 😂🤣😂🤣 couldn't help but laugh, (one familiar trait). The mean streaks. It appears that it's sour grapes writing a book on her, and it's something I couldn't imagine doing to a sister. There is revile in any large family that's true. But if she was a saint, she wouldn't have made it. Madonna knows how to market herself and stay in power. So, you can't blame her for being that way.

I've always defended them, and been the "go between" when everyone's against them. Sometimes when I'm not 100% happy how they're acting. I'd sooner keep the harmony because things change.

Who cares? Madonna has been more successful, influential and is more creative than Gaga. Sorry. Gaga is a talented singer and maybe she's a good actress... I don't know, I've never watched her in anything. But her music career has been a literal note for note copy of Madonna and other artists, and then she pretentiously claims she's 100% original. Only her young fans with no knowledge of music history believe that. I genuinely have nothing against her, and say to her fans, enjoy her and have fun, but stop trying to prop up your icon by tearing down ours. There's actually room for both of them, and no one can deny Madonna's power, influence and dominance in pop music. Show respect for the woman who created a lane for all the other woman to follow her. She broke a glass ceiling for woman in music, and championed queer rights WELL before Gaga 'expressed herself' that she was 'born this way'.

that is so incredibly sexist. wow. And Madonna has done lots of great work after the siblings stropped working together. Confessions? Madame X? This hack didn't have anything to do with her music, only her tours. Her music has been a little hit and miss at times in the latter part of her career, but her tours are still epic. If she's still producing excellent tours without him, clearly he wasn't the one who was behind her success.
