 | | While her provocation and video images seemed more important than her music in the '80s and much of the '90s, she began catching up as a writer and especially a singer in "Ray of Light," the 1998 album that examined her life and goals with surprising candor and perspective. |
 | | Madonna isn't the world's greatest singer, but is known for her "body is a temple" philosophy and dancing abilities, and she also sported some mighty impressive arms, not unlike Linda Hamilton's in The Terminator, that were hard to ignore. |
 | | She dedicated the ballad "Crazy for You" to everyone who'd stuck by her for more than 20 years, then closed in a party mode with the electronic herky-jerk of "Music" from a few years back melding into "Holiday," her top 40 breakthrough in 1983, taking everyone back to where it began. |
