Madonna is one of the most acclaimed women in music of all time. As soon as she was made qualified to enter the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame she was immediately inducted while other acts take years past their qualification date... any female popstar that reinvents themselves is automatically linked to her. her legacy is there and it is solidified. anyone who educates themselves on music outside of top 40 will eventually get to know her music. she just has to DIE and the GP will appreciate her music more.

Alicia Keys really fell off though.
She delivered the mega smash No One and then gave us Strap on Fire.
I'm starting to think she's the Britney Spears of R&B; as if Clive Davis used a basic, empty vessel with the ability to play a piano (like most Asian children) and tricked the GP into thinking she made real music and is a real artist (Sevyn wrote one of her songs lol) as opposed to artists like Beyonce and Rhiana.
