Happy Birthday Madonna! A living legend. My icon. An artist whose music I can always turn to in moments of fun and ecstasy and in times of need and recovery. A person whose humour, class and intelligence captivates me and whose work ethic and ambition inspires me. Enjoy your day, Madge. :heart:

One of my earliest musical memories is seeing this captivating woman on the TV in the Frozen music video. I had no idea she would go on to become my #1 artist. A woman who gave me strength to come out to my mum, a woman who I have danced to countless times and shared some of my favourite memories with, a woman who has shocked, inspired, amazed and dazzled me continuously.

 

Thank you for everything you've done for me and millions like me.

 

Happy birthday Queen.

The dress You Up video captivated me .

Happy birthday to the queen.

 

Happy birthday, my darling! :heart:

BBC Four will be airing a documentary 'There's Only One Madonna' tomorrow from 10pm. Looks like it was originally broadcast in 2001. This is its description:

 

Documentary charting Britain's relationship with Madonna, examining the influence Madonna has had on British music and fashion, and how she provoked a debate over sexual and gender politics - inspiring a generation of women, whilst remaining a huge gay icon. The film follows a group of fans on their journey to Barcelona for the first night of Madonna's Drowned World Tour and finds out what Madonna means to them. Contributors include backing singer Donna DeLory, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Rosanna Arquette, Mel C, Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, Hear'Say and Janet Street-Porter.

The Rebel Heart Tour will air after, including behind-the-scenes footage.
