Abstract (Document Summary)

Nine songs in between range from the bracing dance pop of Express Yourself to the Sgt. Pepper psychedelic flourishes of Dear Jessie, a sugary lullaby. [Madonna] as aggressive flirt reappears in Love Song, an erotic duet with Prince. As a Prince foil, she's got the look, but she's no match as a singer.

Madonna's voice will never be technically brilliant, but she summons so much emotional intensity on Like a Prayer that the calculated come-on in 1984's Like a Virgin sounds like a disembodied chirp.
