What in the hell is this? Is this a real person?

Guntram Shatterhand: She was out of touch when she was doing techno in her music. It's just a slippery slope.

LOL @ somebody on the internet telling a world famous musician how they're out of touch. Not that I care for Madonna's music but you're farking cracking me up over here.

I don't like any of those musicians, but that read more like a wishlist than anything else. I doubt Madonna and Miley Cyrus, for example, are going away any time soon.

ruta: I know I've heard her music, but I can't recall a tune) but although I don't like her, I have to concede that her screen/stage persona is pretty intriguing.

That's my point. It's a stage persona with no basis in reality. Björk, Kate Bush, and Laurie Anderson believe in what they're doing. It's not just an act to them. They might not act in real life exactly the way they do when they're not on stage (although Björk comes tracherously close), but it's not an "act"--it's merely an artistic extension of their actual being. If you read about people's personal encounters with these people in private and intimate settings, you'll see what I mean.

/not subby

Doesn't matter. They get a cut of every album sold, they get a nice big royalty check every time a song is used in an advertisement or movie soundtrack, plus any type of merch that uses their name and likeness.
Yes, they get a royalty from every album sold of about $1.00, if that. The get a nice check when their music is used, IF they are the song writer. Every time someone uses Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You gets use you know who gets paid? Dolly Parton, the song writer.

Mark my words: Madonna is finished.


Those same words were spoken in 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996...you get the picture.

You can lose a lot of money betting against Madonna. I think, up until now, anyone who has has lost.

I know I've written roughly ten (possibly more...) posts relating to the fact that Daniel Davey (sorry - he legally changed his name - Dani Filth) may very well be the only famous person I have ever wanted to shoot, for a multitude of reasons, but this will be the year when he gets his. He's currently in debt up to his eyeballs with Sony and most of the talented members of his band he fired - right after making a slew of incredibly good albums. Because he got a major label deal with Sony... Which tanked after one album. Then he got signed to Roadrunner, then he decided to make an imprint. All while owing Sony a supposed $350,000 because the album died faster than the swing revival in the late-'90s.

But, the greatest tragedy the Bridget (British midget) had a hand in was the part-and-parcel popularization of something that shouldn't have been popular (I also blame Demon Burger for this as well) - black metal. No, it's not capitalized because if this counts as proper "Black Metal" (even the symphonic kind) it would have some measure of artistry and technical skill to it, some kind of feeling.

What the Bridget did was, through a kind of genius, I'll admit, create pop-black-metal. Which is about as appetizing an idea as chocolate-covered anchovies.

She may fade for a couple of years, then she'll "re-invent" herself and she'll be back.

Besides, that and the gay men of America will keep her afloat for a long time by buying every "re-mix" CD she puts out. NTTAWT.

Damn dude, you really hate that guy. I respect the hell out of him for going with his desired vision, which brought him worldwide fame and success.

Can't say I love the most recent albums, but hey plenty of people do.

I can see Akon, 50 Cent and Lady Gaga going out (the latter I don't think I've ever heard a tune by. I purposefully avoid the radio, but even then I'm not immune to that shiat leaking through.) I highly doubt Madonna's going anywhere anytime soon. I would've said Chris Brown would've been in this category (maybe a little further down the line), but him beating Rhianna opens him up for a comeback tour.

MC Hammer was a bona-fide one-hit wonder. Madonna and Miley Cyrus and 50 Cent, et al, are not.

Think about this: at the tender age of 16, and with her entertainment-business-veteran daddy managing her career, Miley Cyrus is already set for life (unless she decides to lead a Michael Jacksonesque lifestyle). Hate on her all you want, but I respect what the Cyrus family has done business-wise. MC Hammer never even approached that.
