Teenage listeners don't even pay for music anymore, so how are they relevant to the music industry? I have never been a fan of Madonna, and she has been around since I was still in grade school, but a least older fans still purchase music, even whole albums, and many, like me, still purchase physical CD's.
Madonna is the same age now that Bette Davis was when she appeared in “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane.”
With a lot less class. Just sayin’. :>}
But the Stones were genuine talents and wrote some of the most iconic rock songs in history—same goes for McCartney. Being able to see them play is like visiting a world heritage site.
Madonna is and has always been an overproduced skank. In 100 years Jagger and Richards will still be remembered. Not so for Madonna.
Gee, it took a long time for them to recognize that Madonna was talentless and irrelevant. Most of us knew that at least 20 years ago. It should have been a clue when she showed up at a recent awards show in a matador outfit that left he ass cheeks openly exposed.
I guess it’s curtains for Cher, too, and and Bette Midler, who are both older than Madonna but still cranking out the hits.
Hits? Recordings maybe.
I always thought she was irrelevant. In fact, that’s the word I’ve used to describe her since the ‘80s.
But old? Nah.
LOL! Since she’s younger than me, she isn’t old by my (sub)standards. To young Brit teens, she’s ancient. And I guess that makes me a fossil. :>}
It would be interesting to see Madonna come out with an “unplugged” video. Something where she’s dressed... and sitting, no “show”.... with a few musicians playing acoustic instruments behind her.... while she sings some of her first “hits”. I would be interested to know if the goofball can actually sing or not.
