Saturday Morning's Greatest Hits: Holiday (1984)

I'll make this real simple for you. Madonna's debut hit, "Holiday", dominated radio airwaves in the winter of 1984, so it made sense that she'd appear on American Bandstand to perform and promote the song. We all know what's happened in the 28 years since. Uploaded by mdolla80s.

She said she was going to rule the world.....

Madonna was so different than anything I'd ever seen before, maybe that's why she knew how to capture the attention of the masses. It was also prudent of her to constantly reinvent her image, going from the fingerless gloves in '84, to the Marilyn Monroe doppleganger, to 30s glamour girl (during her "Vogue" years).

If her recent performance in Paris is any indication, it looks like her performing days are numbered. Not that she has anything left to prove.

She just doesn't want to cede the spotlight to Lady GaGa, IMPO.

Madonna is over 50, still performing, still trying to push the envelope. Apparently, PC doesn't suit her, and never will.....
