Pardon - I meant her personal life these days and all that fake-kabbala stuff is insufferably boring - her music can't be dismissed that easily although it would please some people to try.

That old rumor about her merely tacking her name onto songs other people right isn't quite true. It's been said about everyone who is successful. Sometimes it is true as with Elvis, whose management always demanded a piece of the publishing but didn't always get it. With her, I'm inclined to believe she does write a lot of her own work which then gets very pumped up in the studio. There's something to be admired in her ability to continually turn out well-crafted Pop. As I said, I have some of her albums.

I wish I could remember what the song was - the one with the Bullfighter video - nice melody that. Maybe it's called 'Take a bow'? I liked Frozen too off the Ray of Light CD and I liked the title track. I've always liked dance music and electronica and when she dives into that, she's very good at it.

Do I think she's a wonderful singer - no.
Will her music last for ages - can't say.
Will people hum some her songs in the future years- I imagine so.

The little Madonna-wannabees such as Britney Spears are so much shallower muscially that by comparison, Madonna really does come out looking good. So no, her music is not boring.

Side note - I lived on the street leading up to her one-time home near the Hollywood sign following the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. I had to move because my house started to slide down the hill. Well, my neighbors and I used to sit out in chairs by the sidewalk at night and take bets as to which tourists trying to snap photos of her house in the middlle of the street would become Hollywood Roadkill. Now you can call THAT insufferably boring!
