I'm no music-tech but Madonna? Definitely manipulated in production. And probably some on Duran and Thompson Twins to a certain extent. Cyndi Lauper? Once again...not a fan, but I think what you hear is what you get with her. I saw her perform once at some kinda dinner party that I had press acess for. Basically the room was the size of a ballroom that people have weddings in, and she sounded as good there as she does on tape.
