Well, Cyndi has been around a long time. Even after she faded from the mainstream pop scene, she went on to win a Tony, Emmy and another Grammy.
I genuinely laughed out loud when Madead walked out with that cane during Macklemore's performance last year. Like, cackled.
I wish that sense she's doing Living For Love, she'd do it with a gospel choir (she's doing that, right?) and then signal artists from the audience to come on stage and join her. That'd be such an event.
Madonna? A role-model? She's a marketing gimmick, with all her peek-a-boo
bras (I just said that for effect) and singing about "like a virgin" when
she's writhing around on the floor.
Madonna is not a person, therefore she can not be a role model. She is
something that was created, either by her or someone else, to feel a
perceived gap in the market. Her voice is okay, and some of the songs
are pretty good pop songs, but a role model? (Earth to Chris: Is anyone home?
Chris to Earth: Nope) (Sorry - cheap shot - couldn't resist :-) )

Good point, Ken. My impression is that Madonna is *not at all* in
charge of her career or her marketing scheme. Her popularity is
the work of the (male-dominated) entertainment industry, that will
dress someone up in a gorilla suit if it will sell records, posters,
lunchboxes, etc... Madonna is a product of sexist imaginations.
Do not give her any credit for her image. It wasn't her idea.
Flame away, pseudo-feminists!
Every year there's a one hit wonder band hipsters latch onto and GP praise for "real music" who are completely gone the next year. If they are so amazing, why do their careers vaporize instantly?
I'm about to start now.
What type of Grammy slayage? 
) and Best Music Film (which is where I think she will lose).
