She's definitely an artist, and her work has defined and transcends the pop genre.
She doesn't have to remain relevant, her mark on music is such that she will always maintain relevancy. She is Madonna and no one has done what she has.
It's time y'all had some respect for the genuine greats. This woman has outclassed most of your current favorites and paved the way for them to enjoy the success they do.
noT when since Confessions (which was already a little unispired) she's been releasing ****, following every little trend in music and trying to leech off new sucessful acts to stay relevant
Give me a break. She hasn't been a true artist since Confessions. Hard Candy, MDNA, and Rebel Heart were all poor excuses at trying to remain trendy and relevant. She is an artist, sure, but don't act like she doesn't make disposable mindless pop music just like some of the artists you call "pop stars," and don't act like she hasn't spent the last 10 years chasing musical trends while attaching on to the most popular stars of the time in order to remain relevant in the eyes of the pop music buying/streaming audiences.
Not when you have songs like ''Over and Over''. I think she needs to get over it. She has released a lot of generic songs over the years that made radio programmers happy. From a musical standpoint, you could say that is bad but in a financial sense? So many people benefited from her pop music financially and economically - from music execs to the lower level office workers hired by Warner Bros who could go to work everyday and feed their families.
She wasn't Bjork or Kate Bush but who really cares? People listen to whatever they want.

so tryhard an pretentious
Madonna is more influential than Kate Bush and Bjork combined and tumblr fans are the ones that need to get over it.

I like her and I would've completely agree if she had said that in the mid 00's but where is the artistic evolution in her last albums?
I agree about the fame statement though
