The Constant Reinvention of Madonna

July 29, 2007
The majority of singers who come out and become somewhat famous eventually fade away and people forget about them. But not in Madonna Ritchie's case. Madonna is just about 50 years old and she is still making music that appeals to young people. It is not very common that you see someone so old and has been in the business so long making music for such young people. Although she was extremely popular in the 1980s Madonna has continued to influence the music industry well into the 1990s and even today. She is even working on a new album and collaborating with huge, young pop and hip hop singers like Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. Madonna is constantly reinventing her image and bringing new ideas to her music - I believe this is one thing that makes her continuously popular over the decades. Along with being so successful, Madonna is completely in control of her career and is not easily influenced by what other people think she should do. She is a music icon.

As I mentioned in my previous article about Backstreet Boys, the author Jamieson had discussed Nick Carter being the androgynous member of the band and in one particular video he "Vogue's". Voguing is seen in Madonna's video Vogue and is hand movements around the face which are representative of the gay community.

Here is a link to Madonna's video Vogue:

Madonna's ability to constantly transform herself and her producers ability to keep her music current is the major and most important reason for her ability to keep with the times and have her music always on the music charts. Madonna's creative control over her music and her money enables her to work with the best possible producers in the music industry to help make her always a hit with her audiences.
