Madonna offered lead in Mamma Mia movie — Page 3

Is that blog even real?????????????????? It seems a little fake to me. I hope they keep this film at a very low budget like that other wedding movie. Madonna should be in something more like Sweeney Todd or Dreamgirls. The inherent problem of converting these jukebox musicals into movies is the songs. Abba has already made these songs popular. It just seems like a snore to hear Madonna cover these boring pop songs. At least with legit songs, she would be the first doing it outside of Bway.

ok I truly think this would work for Madonna
I also think Oliva would be a great choice

and lets add one more to mixing bowl just an idea is
Faith Hill

I love Madonna and thought she was fantastic in EVITA.

While Oliva Newton John would be ideal, my vote would go for Madonna.

FAITH HILL! Interesting...

That blog seems a bit too informal and, well, normal to actually be written by Madonna. But, that's not the point of the thread.

I haven't seen the show, but I'm sure Madonna would be great. I have enjoyed her other big screen adventures (including Evita, where I thought she was phenominal).

But it really doesn't surprise me. I can't say I'm an avid viewer of any of the MTV award shows, but I don't remember seeing anyone winning that wasn't present.

Whoever wrote Cyndi Lauper would be good is so wrong... I can't even picture her getting through "Mamma Mia", much less "The Winner Takes It All"... I saw a video of her trying to duet with Cher on "Turn Back Time" and it was awful!

I saw the Cyndi Lauper and Cher duet of If I Could Turn Back Time and it was not bad at all. l think she can mostly anything. I am not saying every cover she does it her best, but she has done such outstanding covers of hits like I'm Gonna Be Strong, What's Going On?, Iko Iko, Carey, At Last, Unchained Melody, Lipstick On Your Collar, Baby Workout, There's No Business Like Show Business, Stay, Strawberry Fields Forever and so many others as well as a christmas cd and she rocked on them all so doing Abba songs would be no challange for her. She has a 4 ovtave range and Madonna doesn't. When Celine Dion did her verison of I Drove All Night she didn't even touch the surface of the song the way Cyndi Lauper did. many other artists have covered her classic Time After Time and not one of them can touch her rendition. Dhe got great reviews for her broadway debut in The ThreePenny Opera. So she will deliver if given the role of Donna in Mamma Mia.

best12bars---I agree with you 100%.

Madonna could definitely pull it off. I'd like ONJ too!

That would work.
