Having reached the peak of the mountain named The world of Music nothing left as to go down. The working plan sounds the following way to reach the highest point and then to go down with the same speed. The second reason is in the so-called star disease. The 90 % are infected and the complications are reflected in desire to start a solo carrier.

The percent correlation is the following just one ex-member of from ten bands opens his talent in solo carrier. But there is one incontestable fact that prevents solo. Its an audience. People joint together to give the support to one favorite band. When this band broke up fans are divided into several parts. Lets analyze everything. For example the number of fans equals to five millions. The band consists of five participants. When the band is over every participant has one million fans. Devoted ones leave to support their favorites.

Perhaps it is the reason of failure of many bands. Next reason is in the hidden talent. A lot of singers think that they are able to open the talent only solo. Some critics think it is the complication of the star disease. The syndrome of hidden talent is accompanied by being independent. But only one percent deserves the recognition. The best example is Robbie Williams who changed the style radically. The rest 99 % are left with the inferiority complex.

What is the football player without the command? What is the dancer without the partner? What is the president without the Cabinet of Ministers?What is the song without words? What is the singer without the voice?

Its not official but Madonna may be bringing her phenomenally successful CD, Confessions on a Dance Floor, live to a venue near you. To date, Confessions has sold nearly 1.29 million copies in the United States alone. It continues to top sales charts in the UK, and Madonna was recently recognized as the female artist with the most number one hits in the UK. It seems almost certain that Madonnas fan base will soon be pleading for her to finalize preparations for a Confessions tour. How do we know Madonna may be preparing for a tour? While not coming out and making it official, she has made some statements that hint at the possibility.

In a recent interview, Madonna spoke about some performances she has booked for the near future. She will be performing at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, on April 30, 2006. She said, I am especially excited about playing Coachella before I start my own tour. In some interviews Madonna even talked about her vision for her next tour, some ideas she has for its visual presentation on the stage and what the Confessions on a Dance Floor show will represent for her.

Madonnas plans for her tour arent specifically connected to Confessions, but when she says things such as, I want them (the audience) to feel like theyre inside a disco ball, its hard to imagine that her vision doesnt involve Confessions. Other statements like, I want a sound system in surround and the dancers personalities to come out indicates that a tour for Confessions is highly likely. So what is all this excitement about?

Confessions, the fourteenth album/CD created by Madonna, is a mix of anything you want it to be. Its about power and empowerment and love and its costs. In this re-invention of Madonna herself and the disco-era, she has come back with possibly the best work she has ever done. There are blogs and message boards full of comments on Confessions. I never even liked this woman and I have to say, this is real good stuff, one person noted. Other comments include, Only Madonna could bring back disco and dance with the popularity it had in the 1970s.

It has been suggested that not only will she tour but that she will focus, as she has in the past, on dance. Wherever Madonna goes many others follow. She wants people to get out of their seats in response to the music. She wants them to have a good time straight through and non-stop. Considering that one song on the CD is a hit single and she co-wrote and co-produced Confessions with Stuart Price, (Madonnas musical director on her 2002 Drowned World Tour and last summers Reinvention Tour) one may assume that Confessions on a Dance Floor will be a visually extraordinary concert.

Madonna, of course, didnt do this all by herself. The genius forces of musicality that worked with her on Confessions will no doubt help her make the tour just as successful as the CD. Assistance from artisans such as Bloosdhy and Avant (Grammy winners), the producer of Madonnas last two albums– Mirwais Ahmadzai, and co-writer Henrik Jonback will bring the live version of Confessions to the stage.

Madonnas part in producing this album comes from her fascination with post modernism and technology. In talking about the making of Confessions on a Dance Floor she said, Im trying to find the soulfulness in technology and playing with that. I would prefer to not have back-up singers. I would rather take my own voice and layer it and change it and put effects on it so it sounds like a lot of different tones and timbres.

Madonna fans know that this artist loves her craft. She is excited about her music and passionate about bringing it to the stage. If you havent heard the entire CD yet, you are in for a treat. This is the kind of CD that requires you either find a place to relax and just listen or occupy a space where you can start moving. There is no typical break between the songs. This music will make even those that dont dance get up and move their feet. The Mistress of Visual Artistry herself is the only one who can bring Confessions on a Dance Floor to life on stage. Throughout the world of music, it is rumored that this tour could start as soon as August or September 2006. Start getting in line for tickets!

Madonna warrior, queen of pop, or beloved star take your pick because any of those descriptions matches with her August birth flower the gladiolus. The gladiolus, which is often called the Sword Lily because of its shape, was, in fact, named after the gladiators weapon of choice, the sword. The root of the word gladiolus is gladius, which means sword.

Though it has ancient associations with working class gladiators, the gladiolus is also marked by nobility. The gladiolus was chosen by the founders of the French monarchy to appear in the fleur-de-lys, the royal emblem of France.

The gladiolus is also a flower of romance. An arrangement of gladiolus shows the recipient that he or she pierces the heart like the sword after which it is named. In fact, the roots of the gladiolus were once thought to be an aphrodisiac.

Gladiolus make an excellent choice for flower gardens, though they grow best in warmer locations since they have their origin in the hot African climate. However, they are a relatively inexpensive flower, so theyre a good choice even in colder areas of the country since they can be planted in stages throughout the gardening season.

Though its blossoms resemble the trumpet shape of the daffodil, the gladiolus grows not from a bulb, but from a corm with a level bottom and spiky top. When you plant the corm, be sure to plant it with the point up in a hole that is about four inches deep. For the most attractive arrangement, be sure to plant them in groups of at least seven with five inches of space between each corm.

Gladiolus also make excellent cutting flowers and are frequently used in professional flower arrangements. If you plan to cut them from your own flower garden, you should bring a deep container of warm water with you to the garden. After cutting the stems at an angle, immediately place them in the water. Before arranging them in a vase, place them in a cool dark place for a few hours. Thereafter, cut about an inch off the stem every few days to keep them fresher longer.

Lover, fighter, or royalty-the gladiolus fits almost every personality and remains among the most popular flowers in the country. Youll find it at weddings, funerals, and in arrangements used to celebrate all stages of life. Considering that Madonna fits the bill for all three of the gladiolus meanings and has been reinventing herself throughout the stages of her life, theres no doubt that she couldnt have been born under a more appropriate birth flower.
