In Reply to: Madonna; All hope is lost posted by 4everyoung on April 10, 2015 at 08:32:10:
I see nothing wrong with it - it is what she has done at shows since 1982 - see Like a Virgin.
And she has lasted for 30+ years doing what she does for good reason - she's entertaining and puts on a show - which is what we want from Pop Stars.
I grow weary of the dump on Madonna crowd - she has put out a wealth of lasting catchy pop tunes that to this day get plenty of airplay and club play. Heck I teach at a Catholic school in China and the 13 year olds requested Like A Prayer. That was a smartly written song, it was a good video, she sings it well - it's an excellent song from a pretty darn good album. I was okay up to Ray of Light where she kind of fell off the rails although there were a couple of decent songs after that
And interestingly, while she took flack at the time for many of her songs looking back at them now - they come across as positively conservative.
And just because she's 56 doesn't mean life or her sexuality has to end and perhaps that is what will keep her near the top because European countries tend not to be so sexually repressed and if Madonna brings that idea to the West that you can strut your stuff at 60 then good for her. Tina Turner I saw in concert when she was pushing 60 and damn those legs!! I was in awe of Madonna when I was 11 years old and she still looks good to me, she still gets the house into it.
Still probably my favorite song/Video from Madonna is Like A Prayer along with Live to Tell. Both more vocally centered songs too. I think her voice is good - it's distinctive - you know immediately it's Madonna and she covers what she needs to cover. I would argue that you don't last as long nor sell as well while lasting as long without talent. Madonna is the complete POP package and she's still still "THE" pop queen.
