By Leanne McRae, published 21/4/2006

At 47 Madonna has created a holding pattern of youth, beauty and beats by reverting to the past.

Not worth commenting on.
One woman is jeolous of Madonna.
Gee there must be millions of women who are jeolous of her.

Are people still writing on Maddonna? It's baffleing, she never was shocking or cutting edge instead always poised perfectly for mainstream acceptance. Her talent is in portraying a persona in video, as a live performer?-well she certainly works hard. Her triumph that no-one can ever dispute is in holding a successfully viable carreer in pop music for 20 years and retaining a huge volume of hits that still have high rotation on radio. All the other stuff is the imagineing of theorists. She never was our toy or revolutionary. Sorry if you found her interview boring but she is a woman of 47 with 2 children. a husband, several properties to run, many staff to employ & multimillion dollar business & tye-ins to oversee, give the woman a break. I'm no fan but like most have enjoyed or bought some of her music over the years, she's nothing to me beyond that but I give her credit and at least the right to be a human being

This article was just retarded.

She is 47 and has had no plastic surgery
Works out like an olympic athlete to tour
Her voice started to give out during the concert

Your question should have been "Is Madonna is still relevant?". Well she IS and here's why;

Here is a recent quote on U.S. foriegn policy;
"Unfortunately our current government cannot see the big picture. They think too small. They suffer from the "what's in it for me?" syndrome. The simple truth is that the current administration has squandered incredible opportunities to bring the world together, to promote peace in regions that have only known war, to encourage health in places that are ravaged with disease, to make us more secure by living up to our principles at home and abroad. The simple truth is that the policies of our current administration do not reflect what is great about America."

Sure she can kiss Britney and cause a fuss but she also kissed Birhan Weldu, former victim of the Ethiopian famine, square on the mouth during Live 8 and no one seemed to notice it. Birhan Weldu was the poster child (literally) for starving youth in Africa. Madonna hugging her and kissing her on the mouth was one of the most life affirming moments I have ever seen. The fruition of a promise made to save lives.

She's not Madonna simply because she shocks us. She shocks us because she say's what's right and no one else has the balls to say.

Her concert graphically supported political and social causes. She is a champion of sexual freedom for gays & lesbians. She is one of the first and most consistant supporters of AIDS charities. She still puts out #1 records & just tied Elvis the only individual to have 36 top ten hits.

Let's have conversations/write articles with some substance.

Why 'Tom Kat' should the question change? This article related to the question that the author decided upon. It is not 'retarded' just because you didn't like the question. Women are defined and critiqued in terms of their bodies every single day. It is for this reason that articles such as this, which are of great substance, need to be written.

I found your article interesting and badly researched. With regards to Madonna's song "what It feels like for a girl" that is the correct title not what you put. This actually was a hit not failure. It actually became a #1 dance hit in the US and the highest selling DVD single in US history.
More importantly Madonna DID NOT pash Britney it was only a PECK if you watch the performance that is evident. The photograph printed of the event was taken at the right time to suggest it was a peck.
