I figured out Madonna and Prince, but not Elvis... I guess I was focusing on current artists.
that was a little hard
Good puzzle! To be a stickler, I got stuck on Madonna, becasue her full birth name is Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone. ;)
What I can find says her name at birth was Madonna Louise Ciccone. The "Veronica" that is commonly cited as one of her birth names is really her confirmation name, chosen for the religious ceremony when she was in her early teens.
I LOVED your teaser....AWESOME!
Hmm, I guess it depends on the reference. IMDB LIED TO ME!!! LOL
WOW! Awesome anagrams, Doood!

Elvis spelled his middle name Aron. Only one "A".
According to the biography at www.elvis.com it is spelled with two A's.
Very creative! I like it
