StefanKras, I disagree and agree with some of your statements. First of all I disagree with your comment about her lyrics. I think that a lot of people, even her fans, take her lyrics just at face value or the messages in her songs are sterilized by the environment in which they are played (i.e clubs, etc). I also believe that because Madonna is such a visual artist and her own interpretations of her work are so strong, it sort of gets in the way for people to use their own imaginations to determine what the work means for themselves. Overall, it is sort of a blessing and a curse for Madonna because by doing so it sort of simplifies the messages in her music for fans aka her interpretation is the only interp.
I'm not generally speaking for all people, but as a huge fan, it's just something I've noticed when talking with others about her work.
