My point is that while all her "changes" could be viewed as "selling out",
IMO, this is a woman with an ACUTE sense of what her fans want, or more
appropriately, what her fans WILL BUY. She changes "looks"
(hair-style/color, fashion, SOUND) like most of the rest of us change our
clothes, yet she continues to be a driving force in "popular" music. Like
her music or not, I think Madonna is an incredibly talented artist, and is
no more of a "sell-out" than our beloved Creed.

Excellent point Keith, just to expand a bit, I think that even though Madonna
evolves with each new project, she seems to always stay true to herself. also
she doesn't follow trends, she starts them if anything.
