""Kinda like Namo."
I don't make fun of her age. I am actually genuinely sad that the innovator never recovered from throwing on the breaks during American Life and didn't show people a new way for pop stars to age. I suppose every groundbreaker stops breaking ground at some point, but if Madonna couldn't find something else to do other than too much plastic surgery and dressing so age inappropriately even she must feel no connection to what she's wearing, then who can?"
I didn't mean to infer that you make fun of her age, Namo -- just that you don't think she dresses age-appropriately, or is writing and performing age-appropriate material, which is basically what the ladies of The Talk were saying. Yet, male pop performers rarely seem to receive the same amount of flack. Anyway...not trying to change hearts and minds here. You're entitled to your opinion of her, both personally and professionally. As for me, I've always been a big fan. She isn't someone I would care to be friends with (like that's ever going to happen anyway), or even, necessarily, meet in-person -- maybe that's one of the reasons I could give a fig that I've never seen her perform live -- but as a pop artist, icon and provocateur, she's at the top my list. I also greatly admire her work ethic, and think that she's one of the hardest working performers in the biz.
