i don't think she was over-rated when she first made it big
the songs justified the hype only later was she "over-rated", that's only because of unwarranted critical acclaim for what is "pop fluff" |

Madonna is definately overrated. Everything is to do with her looks and body, rather than the actual voice or any real talent.

And why should they need to defend her? What music they listen to is their concern. |
Some of the early songs were good, like Lucky Star, Borderline. So when she started she did create an impression in an American pop scene which wasn't so strong at the time. And it seems there needs to be a big American pop star for people, that's why Lady Gaga is now built up as being amazing, and why Michael Jackson was rated so highly.

that's probably my fave Madonna song |
As a teenager I survived on her. Now I don't even listen to her.
Still compared to all of her imitators like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, etc. she still made better music. |

I quite like Madonna for a pop female artist, and I think she's quite talented. Unlike many of her successors, she wasn't manufactured by an agent with a recording contract in place. In response to many of the posters, I agree with Salami in that I don't think her fans are overly zealous (a la Lady Ga Ga), and I agree with Il Duce, I really like "Into the Groove"... definitely my favorite Madonna song. Plus, Madonna is an actual musician and played guitar, drums, and sang in a band (The Breakfast Club) before her solo career took off. She's also a professionally trained dancer, so I don't think her talent can be questioned.
Off topic... I read in the current issue of Classic Rock Magazine that Brian May is considering Lady Ga Ga as front woman for a possible upcoming Queen tour. No one can replace Freddie, but I would actually love to see that. |

I don't know how may people will start making awful jokes about "Radio Gaga". |
