She bores me. Madonna is an average dancer, a below average singer, and a shitty director. The only extrodinary thing about her that allows me to have the smallest ounce of respect for her is the fact she has stayed around for practically 30 years. Other than that all she has done is make it more difficult for women of pure talent to enter the industry. Sex has become the standard because of Madonna and a couple of other female artists. If you take away her sexual ambition the way age and motherhood has for her (to deny that is stupidity), I would certainly be interested in seeing what she cooks up to stay relevant. *Sigh* other than that I don't see anything positive Madonna has done for the music industry or our raunchy-and-never-satified current musical climate- besides bringing out its faults. Performing wise, everything she has done- someone has done better. This is the truth, though I do respect her effortless ability to become the talk of the town. Something that my post proves she has perfected.
