Madonna has said that she would not have succeeded on shows like 'American Idol' early on in her career.The singer had to go through many hard ships in life before she tasted success.Madonna said:"I did it the hard way. I played in crappy little clubs for years before anybody would even pay any attention to me. I had to take my tape around to record companies and have them shut the door in my face. It took a long time. I came up the hard way.I went to a lot of auditions for musical theatre and conventional mainstream things and I always got cut immediately, so I'm pretty sure the same thing would happen to me ."
