I'm not what you'd call a huge Madonna fan by any means, though I do have a lot of respect for her career achievements, her more recent music being very impressive.So last night she was interviewed on tv by Jonothan Ross, and it was very enlightening. Here she was, a huge megastar, and quite obviously VERY nervous. I dunno... I just found that rather surprising. With a reputation for being a very strong woman, and probably quite hard to deal with... here she was showing that she's human, and answering some very personal questions in an honest and open manner. No attitude, no diva like bullshit, no giving it 'the big I am'.
Yup... very impressed.
I tend to view her as a bit of a female Bowie... forever changing tack, and while never being truly groundbreaking, they both have this knack of taking an existing genre and doing something really special with it. The question is, how long can she keep going? Bowie's in his mid 50s and still releasing great material. Could Madonna get away with it at that age? Should be interesting.
