What is it about Madonna thats given her such longevity?
Basically she has the ability to tap into something and bring it into the mainstream of music, for example Vogueing, this was first seen at the gay and lesbian ball, but it takes a star like Madonna to bring it into the mainstream, and make it accessible for everyone else. Mostly Madonna is always commented on for her constant chameleon, taking oh different looks on a regular basis and some say that’s one of the main reasons for her longevity, but there has to be more than just changing hair styles and looks to keep an audience captured for the past 25+ years. yes she may not be the best singer in the world,a nd yes she may not be the best dancer in the world, but the total package that is Madonna, keeps her in demand, from pushing boundaries from her Like A Prayer Video, her SEX book and erotica videos, to donning a 70’s style hair style and dancing in a leotard in the video “Hung Up” A lot of critics have slated Madonna’s performances on the big screen saying that she could not act,
Madonna has become and Icon and its due to the Fact that she has the commitment and drive to push the boundries and also change her image in connection to what she is doing next.She has been there and done that in nearly most Fashion statements and true isnt the best singer or dancer as she clearly stated in IN BED WITH MADONNA she has always been about pushing people buttons.Just like Britney going off the Rails Madonna I feel did the same with Erotica and Sex Book alrite they were both fab but the perception was that she had gone too far..HUMAN NATURE summed up her defiance in this to the world in general.I have seen her 4 times and each show for me has had its own personal feel that you remember for the the rest of your life.HARD CANDY is a great album and its cool that she hasnt done what the past madonnahatercritics said that she was going to have a burn out by the time she was 50 because her album wouldnt be recieved well..Heres to you Madonna The Lady who I will always cherish a
