Good point about Avatar but I'm not sure if she can sustain her elevated position in music for that much longer, do you? She has a nice voice but it's her personality that leaves alot to be desired as well as her obvious lack of variety in performances. She'll still make money for a long time but she's getting abit dull at this stage.

Who said I was talking about her popularity?

If she is interesting then she would have alot of popularity...

Not necessarily. Plenty of bands still do huge tours off the back of what they used to be.

Why does every thread have to turn into a Madonna thread?

But Madonna likes to record new material and sing it on her tours. She has said that she loves singing new songs because sometimes she dont want to just sing her old songs all time ( Take her dislike of singing Like A Virgin now for example)

Jesus christ Harry, I know she has new material, I just don't like her and don't think she has done anything nearly as interesting or meaningful as what she used to do!

ugh another thread turned into madonna.com

How many people would go to her gigs for new songs though? I reckon the main part of the audience are people who were fans of her in the 80's and such, I doubt many teenagers and such would go to a Madonna Gig as she hasn't had as many hits in 80's and 00's comapred to the 80's and such.

She hasn't been REALLY relevant in years although Confessions on a Dancefloor gave her some Kudos.

Alright Stu I get your point, I misread your post a bit. That is all.

And Dezzy many new fans love her material, Hard Candy album was the album that got me hooked listening to Madonna's music and I was youngish then.
Plus I would say it depends on when you was born really, A new generation for there to be interest with every album. Her studio albums this decade have all been number 1.

It would be pretty difficult for Leona to flop. All she really has to be is a meek Mariah Carey for the remainder of her career, which she will almost certainly end up doing.
