Considering children also walk the same hallway in the metro station I'd like to take this opportunity to praise the person in charge of deciding to allow or not advertising posters based on their PG rating... but I digress.
Now, I used to like Madonna, she was popular when I was a teenager and although she was never really my cup of tea musically, I could appreciate her music videos for their choreographies among other things.
However, once you start looking like an old hag, someone at the record company should start tapping on your shoulder and say something like:"Er, hum, Madonna? How about a Swing album?" Because face it Madonna; You're 50!
Yep, that's right Madonna is fifty years old that's fifty, 5-0. Fifty.
I'm not saying every woman that's 50 is too old to be a popstar or an actress, hell I've seen a few very doable women in recent movies, Sigourney Weaver is 49 and looks fabulous, Sharon Stone is 50 and looks better than she did when she was 40 just to name a few. Bette Midler still sings on Broadway (I think) and Cindy Lauper is 55 actually and also still active.
But the thing about them is that, well, they don't sell a product based on how slutty they look.
Madonna does.
Look at the damn album cover.
It reminds me of a Saturday Night Live sketch called Old French Whore with the subtle difference that Madonna is not French.
Another thing I detest about this, is that Madonna, speaks out regularly against exploitation among other things, also she's constantly arrogant with news reporters and also towards other artists.
Plus, all she seems to be able to do live, on stage, recently, is swear and curse.
She should really consider changing her musical style, maybe aiming her product to a different audience. And by different what I really mean is "non pervert".
But then she'd have to be able to carry a tune that spans more than three fucking notes. She seems to have trouble with that. I wonder if the guy from Milli Vanilli is also overdubbing her albums.
Oh, wait, she doesn't actually sing? It's Justin Timberlake? Really? So what the fuck is she doing dressed like a whore on the CD cover?
Marketing you say?
What really burns me about the whole Madonna experience is that even at 50 she's successful. Bitch!
I'm jealous...
