Madonna's Summer of Love and Sadness

1. Cherish-Like a Prayer-1989-This beatific song evokes a happy smile, a complex melody and a sad tear.  Madonna Find Love and she Cherishes all of us who love her.
2. Who's That Girl?-Celebration-1987-An Eternal Question of Identity, Madonna winks at the audience and Cries the Query in the Queue.  That's one of her better qualities.
3. Nothing Fails (Rock version)-Remixed/Revisited-2003-In which M gets her Rock mojo on and electrifies the yearning and longing ballad about Love.
4. Justify My Love-Immaculate-1990-This Burning Erotic Art Song burns with Emotion in Detroit. Madonna galvanizes like a Meowing Lady Cat.
5. I'm a Sinner-MDNA-2012-Her ultimate statement on Rebellion!
