# Could someone explain
Why Madonna is famous?

that all stopped about 1991

She had nothing to do with it.

And I have never, ever seen her be even remotely sexy.

# Anything's punk if you want it to be.
That's kind of what I liked about it.

But I see what you mean. I can't claim to be an authority on her wardrobe, other than noticing that in lieu of actually developing her own style, she simply directly lifted wholesale whatever took her fancy.

# Lots of number one records.
I don't mind her music- I think it's damn good pop and has always been. She keeps up with trends as well, so never really going out of fashion.

That and she wanted to be. That woman gets everything she wants even if she has to shove her cigarette heel into someone's eye to get it.

# Look at this way
she got famous for DOING SOMETHING at a time when that took a lot of effort.

These days you only have to be on telly for 30 seconds and Heat want to interview you.

You might as well ask why Elvis was famous, cos thats what she's the female equivelant of

Elvis was good-looking.

Elvis was about at a time when fame was getting famous.

The only famous new band today is Clodplay.

# She sucked enough cock
Apparently back then if you sucked about 100 cocks then you got to record a number 1 song. She did this for quite a few of her hits. In the end people thought that she was good. Now she's famous.

# If that's true Jodie Marsh would be much more successful.
As it turns out, she didn't actually suck the cock of every single person that bought one or many of her records. So no.
