Madonna has worked hard and her music doesn't have to impact you personally for us to admit she is the closest thing to a "Michael Jackson" that the female pop music genre has/had/or is ever likely to get. Don't discredit what she has accomplished because you have issues with her or think her music sucks. She has impacted pop culture, fashion, music, film and countless fans lives. You can't take that from her. No pop female artist before her could've ever concieved of accomplishing the things Madonna has done because it's a mans world in the music industry.
