Madonna is a huge star. She rocketed to stardom so quickly that it obscured most of her musical virtues. Madonna is the quintessential celebrity, famous for her fame, and her prominence in the media, so that her actual exploits in the worlds of music and cinema are of secondary importance. She really was a pioneer - not in her musical style, or her fashions, but in her ability to attract the attention of a culture.

Lonely at the Top

Madonna has been producing number one albums for over twenty years, and that's a pretty impressive feat whether you like her music or not. I understand the criticsms aimed at her latest album, but at the same time I think we might expect too much from her, and place an unrealistic burden on what she is expected to deliver. Madonna has stepped up to the plate to hopefully knock out of the park rumblings that she has been rounding the bases with New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez , to the detriment of each of their marriages. Putting in context her connection with the Yanks' third-baseman, she adds, "I know Alex Rodriguez through Guy Oseary , who manages both of us". Madonna has arranged for tickets to be set aside for Kabbalah leaders at dates on her current world tour. Ritchie is said to be making a documentary about Kabbalah, but it is unclear whether this will be critical or positive.

Family Plot

Madonna has been capitalizing on details of The Ciccone family's private life since she was given a microphone and a spotlight. Her lyrics about her mother's death and her relationship with her father are a good example of that. Madonna has done so much, and she's been around so long, and she still looks good! She's spent years in the public eye, and that sure can be really hard for anyone to deal with.
