Madonna is one of the best music icons in the world. She is a money maker.
She is a super-savy marketer of fashion and the personal brand. I have a lot of respect for her feel for pop culture and her ability to keep re-inventing herself at its forefront.
Remember that the media in recent years has sought to marginalise all forms of dance music saying that people don't want to buy it, listeners aren't interested in it and its not relevant to todays youth. Remember all the kids 15 years ago who wished they had lived through the '60s? There are actually kids who think the '80s must've been a blast.
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. Madonna is going to come back in 2008 with a new massive world tour so be sure to buy your Madonna tickets on time!
