Does Madonna still matter?
On "Hard Candy," the 49-year-old disco queen gracefully walks a tightrope between sex, motherhood and aging.
By James Hannaham [2008-04-30]

  • NO

    I loved Madonna - it was all about her attitude. Desperately Seeking Susan was the high point for me. Artistic, taking herself seriously, not that talented but what the hell .... and then I loved her homages to all those other stars. Done with such humour, I thought. THEN I realised the humour was all projection - from me. That there was no humour in her act, that she takes herself seriously all the time - and that did her in for me.

    She's a joke. A big pretentious joke who actually seems to think she has the inside running on spiritual truth and doing good. Whatever. She doesn't matter and so it doesn't matter. She has no real influence - just the ability to pick up on what is influencing everyone right now and mirroring that. So good luck to her, I guess.

    I like her pop songs though. Cherish and Get into the groove are fantastic.
