The hit television series Glee dedicated an entire show recently to the music of Madonna. The album The Power of Madonna features the Glee cast performing seven of the singer’s most successful songs: Like A Virgin, Vogue, Express Yourself, Like A Prayer, Borderline, 4 Minutes and What It Feels Like For A Girl.
