Well she's the undisupted queen of pop and most important female pop star ever :)
 
I only purchased her "confessions on the dance floor" album. I loved it, I don't know about her other work this decade though. 4 minutes and american dream were a bit crappy though, that's all i know.

to be fair all that shows is how expensive her tickets were when u compair how many shows she did compaired to the others. its like top grossing film as talked about in the TII Thread. inflation etc makes those sort of tables pointless

im more of a fan of her 80's stuff although i really like the bedtime stories album with the babyface influence.not of fan in general of euro type dance music
 
Lourdes has grown into a beautiful girl. As for Madonna herself, quiet frankly she is one of the most overrated singers/artists out there. But she is hard working and seems to be a no-nonsense type of woman, which is why she has survived this long in that industry. I do prefer her over the likes of Rihanna, and Swift that's for sure, but ain't a fan.

I'm not a Madonna fan so I don't really know how succesful shes' been apart from what I see on music news etc. but from what I have heard and seen, she deserves everything she gets - she seems very dedicated and hard working.
 
I think Madonna is as big as she is because of her behind the scenes business mind. She knows how to play the cards. I like how she transformed images alot however - I think she has no talent or hardly any.

Lady GaGa is 100x better in my opinion.
 
Great results. She's really queen of pop!
I'm her fan. My favorite female artist ever!
