And they both look like they smell bad too.
Thanks for the answer and the picture too. It does bear a resemblance!
I am not a big music fan but I can't think of a single song of Madonnas. I am sure her songs are played on the radio or is she just a dancer with a no so good voice?
Madonna jumped the shark with all the publicity about getting pregnant by her trainer(?)or the like.
My guess is her acting career was swepted away with that movie by one of her husbands.
She's at a loss to further her career by respectable means, so she reverts to the LCD usually reserved for younger generations.
I used to admire her business acumen, but she's lost that too.
I can't stand MTV any more. Do they (Viacom/SeeBS/etc.) buy a lot of ads in [music-oriented] print media? Maybe its
the implied payola of the ad dollar that's protecting any irregularities at MTV?
Unfortunately, at the same time she was finally improving her voice, she dumped earlier collaborators who created her catchy hits like "Borderline" and "Cherish" in favor of trendy hip-hop/house/trance music producers. She was probably trying to stay "hip," but the result was a series of tuneless "songs" that have flopped like carp. A critic the other day made a good point when he dared readers to hum any Madonna song cut after 1992. That's why she needs manufactured "controversy" to sell tickets: because the music is GODAWFUL.
""This will be a stirring and extremely controversial piece of work from the artist who created the medium of the small film set to music."
Setting aside any number of earlier incarnations, doesn't Michael Jackson deserve this honor with Thriller?
My (gay male) hair dresser (nice guy/great hair cutter) was all atwitter over the fact that he was going someplace to see her in concert. I thought, but didn't say, I wouldn't go out in my front yard to see Madonna, even if it was free.
A vanishingly small minority of pop music artists reach even a fraction of Madonner's commercial success. An even smaller number of those blessed with such success manage to keep it going all the way into and past middle age.
Compare the decades-spanning careers of the Rolling Stones, Ozzy Osbourne, or KISS to, say, 70s rockers like Styx. The former are still selling out stadiums, while the latter toil on in the county fair and bar circuit, minus an original band member of three.
Madonner needs to chill out for a few years, lay low, and enjoy the fruits of her labors. Maybe in 10 years or so, she can go back to performing, and make a ton of money when she does.
