To be fair, Madonna’s “early voice” would not make my “Top 500” female vocalist list, if I had such. “Lucky Star”, though a nice song overall, is almost enough vocally to make me grit my teeth. But, Madonna also has real talent for conveying emotion effectively, on occasion: I always felt “Borderline” connected very well (and was probably a small part of the reason I was never inclined to “play games” with women.)
For me, a great lyric and conveyance of that, behind a “fair” voice is fine.
Boy, are we OT now or what? :-)
Big time. I've been trying to find a way out of this sidetracked conversation, and I think you just gave me my out.
Thanks!
