You can't be too old, too ugly, too fat, too dark-skinned, too gay, too weird.
Of course, there are always outliers. But these people have to be extremely lucky or work much harder than someone who is born or given advantages.

Sure. But it's not just that one factor that's keeping her from her previous success. At this point in her career, she has more working for her than against her. The power she wields is unreal (and it shows in her touring).
So I don't see age as Madonna's biggest problem (not denying it plays a role). Like someone said, she's become a parody of herself. We like to see growth in our artists not regression. And lately she's become like Demi. Who, even though she's young and somewhat attractive, is just embarrassing. That's the vibe I get from Madonna.
