Comments from Biomedeng (talk): Overall I would work to add references, properly format the references. The text is very well written, so maybe you could get it back to FA status, but I think article length is going to be an issue with some people. Biomedeng (talk) 03:15, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * This is a really good article. Very comprehensive.
 * I think you need to add references in a few more places. An example is: "Madonna has cited her Catholic and Italian background as major influences in her life and career. She has also noted on various occasions that her mother's premature death left a lasting emotional burden throughout her adolescence and adulthood. As an entertainer, Madonna has occasionally touched on these subjects in her song lyrics and visual presentation."  If you are claiming she said something was her influence you need citations.  The influences section seemed to need the most work, but some of the other sections about her music had facts which were uncited.  I also noticed a citation needed in at least one place.
 * Some of the references are properly formatted, but some still have serious formatting issues that should be resolved (some do not have enough information to even understand where they came from).
 * The use of images in each section correlates well with the text.
 * The article is very long. Maybe too long.  I am not sure if you should split it or not (maybe some more senior editors can comment on this).
