Reinvention is one of her key cultural achievements...

Throughout her career Madonna ,like David Bowie,
has repeatedly reinvented herself through a series of visual and musical personas. Fouz-Hernández agrees that this reinvention is one of her key cultural achievements. Madonna reinvented herself by working with upcoming talented producers and previously unknown artists, while remaining at the center of media attention. In doing so she has provided an example of how to maintain one's career in the entertainment industry.

Such reinvention was noted by scholars as the main tool in surviving the musical industry, for a female artist. As Ian Youngs from BBC News commented, "Her ability to follow the latest trends and adapt her style has often been credited with preserving her appeal."

Madonna's use of shocking seexual imagery has benefited her career and catalyzed public discourse on s3xuality and feminism.

The Times stated, "Madonna, whether you like her or not, started a revolution amongst women in music ... Her attitudes and opinions on seex, nudiity, style and seexuality forced the public to sit up and take notice."

Rodger Streitmatter, author of S3x Sells! (2004), commented that "from the moment Madonna burst onto the nation's radar screen in the mid-1980s, she did everything in her power to shock the public, and her efforts paid off."

Shmuel Boteach, author of Hating women (2005), felt that Madonna was largely responsible for erasing the line between music and pornography. He stated: "Before Madonna, it was possible for women more famous for their voices than their cleavage, to emerge as music superstars. But in the post-Madonna universe, even highly original performers such as Janet Jackson now feel the pressure to expose their bodies on national television to sell albums."

Niecy: Pop it! Evan: There's nothing to pop. Haha. Nice job Team Madonna.

This routine was soo much fun, and it looked like all the dancers were having fun too. It had a few technical and sync problems, but I still think this dance is more fun to watch than team gaga's (though they had the better technique).
