One was jealous of the other and wanted to be like the other but was far from possible. Or the simple fact one thought they were better than Damito Jo herself.

Madonna: like an icon., Lucy O'Brien:
It was during this trip that Sounds writer Sandy Robertson did one of the first British interviews with the nascent star.
'I thought "Everybody" was a good pop record. She'd evolved a commercial dance thing that was not considered unhip,' he recalls.
'She was staying with her dancers in a poky, tiny little place in Primrose Hill, north London. She came to the door in a gold dressing gown. I thought she was very short and sort of dumpy, with short, short hair. She seemed glad to have press.
She was bustling around, making me tea with honey. She wasn't as confident as you'd expect — she was quite reserved, but friendly.
She said she wanted to be a female Michael Jackson.'

Magic and Madness, J Randy says:
According to JRandy Michael has said,"'I had my sunglasses on,' he told J. Randy Taraborrelli, recalling their first 'date'. 'And I'm sitting there, you know, trying to be nice. And the next thing I know, she reaches over and takes my glasses off. Nobody has ever taken my glasses off...And, then, she throws them across the room and breaks them. I was shocked. 'I'm your date now,' she told me, 'and I hate it when I can't see a man's eyes.' I didn't much like that.'
Madonna's version: "We drove to the restaurant in my car. It was dark out, but he was still wearing sunglasses. I said, 'Michael, I feel like I'm talking to a limousine, do you think you could take off those glasses so I could see your eyes?' He paused for a moment, then he tossed the glasses out the window, looked at me with a wink and a smile and said, 'Can you see me now, is that better?'
"In that moment, I could see both his vulnerability and his charm."

Jamie Foster on the Joan River Show about the Ivy date:
She stated that at the time when MJ and Madonna were at the Ivy restaurant, MJ was sitting at the table staring at Madonna's boobs. This was the only thing he did, he just sat there staring at Madonna's boobs. Madonna wondered, "What's up with him and these boobs?" So she took MJ's hand and placed them on her breast. Jamie says MJ was shocked by this.
