Madonna is very popular in our country. She is not among my favorite singers.
honestly, i am not a fan of her work. i was more of a Lauper fan!
Now you’re talking Doc I too like Lauper better but thought I’d give Madonna a write up anyway.
i am glad you did – i always wondered why she got so popular. But, not the style of music i tend to listen to anyway!
