It's Esther: Wanna make something of it?
June 18, 2004
NEW YORK -- Call her Esther: That's the Hebrew name Madonna has chosen for herself as a follower of Kabbalah.
''I was named after my mother. My mother died when she was very young, of cancer, and ... I wanted to attach myself to another name,'' the singer says in an interview on ABC's ''20/20,'' airing at 9 tonight on WLS-Channel 7. ''This is in no way a negation of who my mother is ... I wanted to attach myself to the energy of a different name.''

Call me crazy, but I don't think the name "Esther" is going to sell too many records. Is she losing it, or what?
