There's nothing overtly mysterious about Madonna -- her music is fairly heart-on-sleeve apparent. Still, over half the artists on this cover record don't seem to get her at all. Techno-fluffsters Berlin pad through ''Live to Tell'' like a milk-licking kitten, and Annabella Lwin yips whipped-puppyish over ''Like a Virgin.'' Only when Loleatta Holloway and KMFDM pounce like panthers on their respective tracks (''Like a Prayer,'' ''Material Girl'') is the disc worthy of its subject. C+
