| 词条 | Madonna wannabe |
| 释义 |
A Madonna wannabe, or Madonnabe, is a person (usually female) who dressed like pop star Madonna. The term was popularized by writer John Skow in a May 1985 Time cover story on the singer.[1] Following the disappearance of the trend, critics and journalists referred to female pop stars who emulated Madonna (with styles or musical) as Madonna wannabes. HistoryThe Madonna wannabe trend was at its peak from 1984 until 1986. During that time, it was common to see young women across the world dressed in the style affected by pop star Madonna in that era:[2][3][4] a thrift shop look that incorporated many beads, lace tops, bleached hair, rosaries, crucifixes, skirts, bracelets and bustiers. Sometimes the wannabes wore men's boxer shorts outside their clothes. Skow commented on the phenomenon:
In 1985, Macy's department store opened "Madonnaland", a boutique selling clothes modelled after the singer's style.[5][6] The Madonna wannabe trend largely disappeared by the end of 1986 when Madonna dramatically altered her look with the release of her third album, True Blue. However, some fans of the entertainer still dress in the mid-1980s Madonna style, though usually this is only for Eighties nostalgia days and parties. Continuity with the termFollowing the disappearance of the trend, critics and public used the term to refer female pop stars who had notable similarity with or majorly influenced by Madonna. When inducting Madonna into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, American singer and actor Justin Timberlake stated that "The world has always been full of Madonna wannabes, and I might have even dated a couple" referring to his former girlfriend, Britney Spears.[7] William Anthony Donohue, the president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, called Lady Gaga a mediocre "Madonna wannabe" due to the usage of Catholic imagery in her "Alejandro" music video.[8] Chris Riemenschneider, a journalist of Star Tribune, wrote an article in 2012 ranking several singers as "Madonna wannabe", including Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry, Rihanna, as well as Lady Gaga who topped the list with 10 out of 10 rating.[9] See also
