Being able to please an audience is an incredibly underrated skill. People liking it doesn't necessarily make something good, but for an artist (and yes, I mean that) to be able to constantly revise her own image and still keep a large fan base is no mean feat. You may not like Madonna's music, and I don't always like it either, but I have enormous respect for her ability to predict cultural trends a year before they happen, remake her persona the second someone tries to pin her down, and write songs that are just plain catchy (if not always musically brilliant). That's all...just had to chime in.
