u think Madonna could compete Musically with Prince
C'mon now thats like playing football witha retarded person
its not right
Prince doesn't have the fan bass or the exposure to get that kinda sales
Madonna and HER SHOCK value has gotten her fans like transvestites and a whole lotta gay men which is nothing wrong with that but like P says
Your Fan Base Reflects on your music and you

I also wonder why so many other celebs who have been in contact with her, cant stand her! There is the George Michael thing, there is the MJ thing "BITCH", dont think prince likes her, i think she used him. Why is this, i think it can safely b said, she is a user and has used people in the music industry to get where she is.

her records are producer driven, oooh she can fish out hot producers to make her record sound "FAshionAble". Take away the great production from her last five records and i don't think there is one decent track.

Lies!

Hey,believe it or not,Madonna does have SOME straight fans...lol...

What exactly has this woman done to deserve the attention she continually gets! Where is the talent, she is quite possibly the worst singer bar Victoria Beckham

The above comment from Maddy brings up an interesting point.She's fully aware that,vocally,she is no Mariah,Whitney or Celine.But in many ways,she's a much more important artist than they are.

See,that's the thing,for the most part,Madonna does NOT work with "hot producers" the way so many other so-called artists do.Did you ever hear of Patrick Leonard before he worked with Madonna? Did you ever hear of Mirwais before he worked with Madonna? And William Orbit wasn't exactly a surefire Top 10 producer when Maddy chose him for the 'Ray Of Light' project.Most pop artists (Michael,Janet,J-Lo,etc) simply rely on the hot producers of the moment,so let's at least give Maddy credit for resisting that trend throughout most of her career.

dont think prince likes her, i think she used him.

WRONG!!!! She is guilty of that when recorded her so called black/rnb-sounding album(yeah right whatever!!!) She enlisted Babyface and Dallas Austin for that album and they were the hottest producers at that time.

To top it all she tries anything and everything controversial to sell records, next she'll be devil worshipping at the MTV awards.

Im not saying she isn't a "STAR", i simply feel that the amount of records sold is ludicrous for such little musical talent.

Mike produces the songs he writes himself. Oh and Madonna is one of the best female artists alive.She is so theatrical. She is not a great singer but:

1) Do you like her songs?
2) Can she sing them live?

If you answer both "yes", than thats the point!

And yes im a straight guy too Anyways im not that much of a fan of her but its a bit silly to call her talentless

How can anyone who doesn't make pop records for a record critize how much imput an artist has on a record? so she doesn't produce write compose and perform everything on the record big whoop! it prevents the sound or her art from going stale... prince's wilderness years i may say. 22 years of hits she's gotta have something or she would have faded with cyndi. I think she has always just let the music and her input on it speak for itself... which it has. most everyone gets caught up in the illusion and persona... i don't think prince would have appealed to her to help him fight for his masters if he didn't feel she was an artist of equal stature and abilty.
