It didn't come out in my post (you're right), but I have a lot of respect for her and I still love her best album Ray of Light. <br />I admit my young self wasn't a Madonna fan but I grew to like her stuff later.

I think she is and has always been a very talanted singer. Not crazy about her personally, but think she has been a great entertainer, not an actress, but an entertainer.<br /><br />Perhaps you are a little guilty of what you are pointing out.<br />If so, it is a very good way to make a point. And yes, I agree with you, female entertainers are judged by their lifestyle more than the men, and Justin Beiber is a train wreck...talented but a train wreck.joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141383639448060234.post-43006225856309780732014-09-29T22:00:08.100+10:002014-09-29T22:00:08.100+10:00That is true.

Street cred doesn't really factor for pop stars so it's perhaps harder for them to win respect.

I assume Miley Cyrus is the daughter of Billy Ray. I like her. She was quite influential in stopping the monster Phillip Island development.
