If Kylie truly said that then she sucks.

Watch out world, the Impossible Pimpstress said something!


I seriously doubt it. Kylie admits to loving Madonna.

Bowie in the 80's? uhhh, dont you mean 70's?


that's what i said! wink


sure, you can equate her media hype to that of Elvis, The Beatles and Bowie, but...to equate her music is another thing...which, is my issue with most of her diehard fans..they refuse to admit that her music is quality cheese pop at best. which, is one of the reasons I dont think she will be accepted in the the R&R Hall of Fame immediatly..


oh, she will. don't doubt it. whether she SHOULD have to wait or not is another matter. one i'm undecided on. but you can't say that her music is cheese pop at best. for the kind of pop that it is, it is the best. it is cutting edge. for pop music, it leads the way. no, she doesn't invent much of it. or any of it, for that matter. but she does pick the coolest things and makes it safe for the mainstream. she's always riding at the head of the wave and taking underground things to the top. and though she does switch styles frequently and get the hippest producers to work with her, all of her work does have a distinctive Madonna style to it no matter who's working on it. and that there is a cohesiveness to her work speaks well of her own musical abilities when you look at the laundry list of top producers she's either introduced or jumped on.

Youve got some serious musicians who are being passed over year after year...and the fact that Prince might now have recieved initial admittance is not suprising to me (hey, i just tied this back to the subject at hand..heheheh), prince at times took his media persona too serious at times, not serious enough at others and just straight crazy during other periods..sadly, this might cloud peoples judgement of his music and he might be overlooked...but, eventually he will get in...


quite true. but back to Madonna wink yes, serious musicians are being passed over all the time. but Madonna makes no bones about what she does. she knows she's not the best singer or the best dancer or the best songwriter. but she takes what she has and does her best with it. and for the KIND of music that it is, it's the best in that genre.

Maddy on the other hand, something tells me she is going to create a big hush hush campaign to get herself inducted, simply so she can gain credibility...while prince doesnt care about being inducted or not, I wouldnt expect anything less from Maddy..


and you shouldn't. if Prince was smart, he'd be doing the same. and if you don't think he cares about it, you're crazy. maybe not this year, but it will become important to him the more times he's passed over. you want to take bets on how soon it'll be before there's some snide remark posted on the npgmc site about him not being picked, while at the same time downplaying the talents of those who were?


and re: your comments about Kylie.

she better be damn glad that Madonna's so serious about herself, or Kylie wouldn't know what to sing or do from one year to the next. btw, when did Kylie come up for air from kissing Madonna's ass constantly to utter a criticism? wink
