Debbie Harry “could’ve been Madonna”

Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry thinks that if she had been more driven then she could have “been Madonna”.

In an interview with Q Magazine the ‘Rapture’ singer spoke of how she realised there was a huge difference in ambitions between her and the Queen of Pop when they crossed paths at the latter’s birthday party.

“Did I ever meet her? Yes,” explained Harry. “I worked with Mary Lambert [directed Madonna’s ‘Like A Virgin’ and ‘Material Girl’ videos] on my hit ‘I Want That Man’ video. She took me to Madonna’s birthday party.  But we are from totally different ways of thinking.”

She added: “She is so totally career-orientated and showbiz-minded. I missed the boat on that one. If I had thought more I would probably have been Madonna before she was.”
