If she was never one for elaborate costumes and showing skin and had started doing all of this in an attempt to garner sales/attention that had long since faded I would agree it was a desperate act. But it's Madonna doing Madonna really.

...thats a wonderful way of putting it, Marsh.....she’s no different a performer or a vocal artist to what she’s ever been ...and she’s doing it for the older female with style......I know she had some criticism for her Eurovision performance as Jax has said...but I’ve also seen lots of huge praise for the performance as well...and thats the thing as well...she wouldn’t be Madonna if she didn’t get people talking about her, both praise and criticism...she’s consistently amazing and no one’s going to tell her to sit down and have a cup of tea...which is one of the things I love about her......
