I mean I understand she is iconic, but still she is constantly praised like she is the Queen of Pop. Apart from having a lot of hits over a very long career, what has Madonna actually done for the industry? What has she transformed? How has she been such an iconic performer? Yes she is legendary thanks to her acheivements, but has she pushed the boundaries to the extent which some people make out?

I ask these questions because I watch some of her performances and I just don't see it. To me Lady Gaga has already started pushing the boundaries of pop music to a greater extent in some circles.

Its funny that you are argumenting with Gaga, because Madonna paved the way for her in nearly everything along with her other predecessors. I really dont know what do you mean by "some circles"...??
And I have noticed that Madonna is more often bashed than praised here on ATRL, so

Well one thing that disappoints me about Madonna is I feel her last couple of albums have kind of watered down her legacy. They haven't pushed the boundaries at ALL. And they have just got with the trend, did she just give up on being a game changer?

Every artist has his ups and downs. She has had amazing row of successful albums and eras, what more do you want? Even if she released 10 flop albums, it cant take all achievements away from her. Dont worry about her legacy

No. She is the most iconic female in the world.

Yes. Above the Beatles. I don't know why they're seen as so untouchable.

She's overrated because her overzealous fans like to put her up on the same level as Michael Jackson and The Beatles when in fact her discography and musicianship are not even on par with MJ and The Beatles. Some would even go far saying Madonna is above those two acts.

Madonna has a better discography than MJ. She got so much heat because she was a woman doing things men couldn't fathom women doing. Women were supposed to be domestic slaves who were told what they could and could not do. She said to hell with that and called her own shots. There wasn't a man who could tell her otherwise. People, especially conservative America, feared that. Were there female pop stars showing skin before her? Absolutely, but no female was in control like her. No female has since been in control like her either. Gaga comes close. Let's see how far she goes.

Not at all. Her discography and videography are undeniably amazing. A great performer who had iconic performances, and she basically demolishes her peers and everybody when it comes to albums and singles sales, and touring.

Madonna has a better discography than MJ (definitely not The Beatles) though.

People need to ****ing realize this Prince, Bowie, Janet, Michael, the Beatles, and Björk have all made crappy albums, but they still are considered amazing because of their good material.

Also, Madonna has a much better discog than Michael. Critics agree.
