Because she never smoked crack. People called her a crack head because she's black. Freebase is pure coke.

I think if Madonna was a man nobody would critisize her vocals. she would be considered a good songwriter who sings and is a great performer.

Males in popular music do utuilize their voices different than their female counterparts do and some of them get a pass and they really aren't that great.
But even still Madonna is an average singer. With make singers if they aren't very talented vocally they go for style that makes up for the lack of talent i.e. Prince. Madonna doesn't have style or talent.

In 2002, she gave a notorious interview in which she denied taking crack, on the grounds that it was ‘too cheap’ a drug for her.

‘We don’t take crack. Crack is whack,’ she said. Nobody was very convinced by her denial.

Clive Davis tried to get her into rehab in 2004, with an ultimatum that they could not work together again if she didn’t clean up.

.

In 2005, her sister-in-law leaked pictures to the Press of her bathroom in Atlanta — a sordid, dirty space covered with crack pipes and other drug paraphernalia — to try to shock her into sobriety.

First of all that wasn't Whitney's stuff. She wasn't even living at that house during that time. That was some of Bobbys relatives stuff. Also crack isn't the only thing smoked through a pipe. Like I said she freebased

Decent and getting by are too different things lol
I'll give her average though. I wouldn't go as far to say she's tone death or anything

Whitney by far, but I love Madonna more. Madonna has more albums and was more of a presence on stage and in her politics, Madge also did not smoke crack or watch her career collapse around her.

.

Whitney could sing, but had almost no personality at all off the stage. Whitney was a singer, Madonna was a musician and artiste. Also I don't even think Whitney wrote many if any of her own songs.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

I love Whitney and have so much respect for her as an artist, but THIS is disgusting!! It's no secret that Whitney liked to get high and Bobby even said that she was more of a bad influence on him, rather than the other way around.

Decent, to me is just "okay" (average) -- enough to get by. I guess I am too old and showing my age because when people say "decent" today, they think it is good, LOL lol

.

Madonna did work on her voice a lot over the years; she knew she had to.

Whitney liked to party hard, and that is what ruined her voice, unfortunately. I don't think Madonna ever did drugs; maybe she dabbled in some, but not to the point where it affected her career.

I know I called her a crack smoker and chose Madge, but this comment above is disgusting and very mean spirited, making light of people's death is not nice in any form. Sick and horrible. And the bathroom pictures, disgusting a sthey are, why would anyone leak something like that - of course a shitty British tabloid like the Daily Mail. These papers are blood sucking maggots that deserve to die.

My question is do you like Fillet Mignon or tacos?

In terms of singing, Whitney. Overall Madonna sang fine (though her limitations as a singer would be visible if she had to compete in a sing off type situation)

More often than not in pop it is about the song and the image rather than the singer. For example if I made a thread that was who was a better singer Bob Dylan (who has character) and Celine Dion (who I never had much time for) it shows the limitation of this thread.

But some say Celine is the true filet mignon, after all she can still belt out her Hollywood Blockbuster theme song. But we won't talk about Celine for the obvious reasons. I do dig her new jovial/aloof public persona.

She could've been bisexual and that's fine as well. But she very obviously wasn't gay. I didn't say she only did freebaae. I just corrected you in that she didn't smoke crack

Bobby has trouble with truth. He was doing drugs and getting into trouble before Whitney entered into the picture

Whitney had no emotional connection with her voice. With Madge,u get the impression she believes what she sings.

Agree, although I like Whitney's voice, I prefer much better Madonna.
