My mom had her CD and there were some iconic songs but I just don't see the Madonna vibes. I don't think she did anything edgy, and her first hit was about a panda bear. And didn't she do Christian music for a while?

Yuri was the first mexican singer to appear in Playboy, she was the first to wear underwear as stage costumes, the first to win a gaviota in Viña del Mar, she was the first of so many things it's hard to recount, but in short her impact was huge in the 80's and 90's, in the mid-ninties she had a crisis while still being on top (suicide attempt, depressions) and from having a ****ty image she became a christian and semi-retired for 5 years.
In the early 2000's she came back with a balanced image: not that ****ty, not that christian and after some tough years coming back she cimented herself back again successfully in the mexican collective psyche with well-deserved respect (She is very talented, I might say she is the best voice of mexican pop).
