Okay, so any mention of a popstar always gets me really amped up.
In keeping with the theme of Madonna and the way the audience perceives her, here is a pretty good song that deals with the theme of female empowerment.
I’ve always thought the line between sexuality and exploitation is quite a blurred one and I think the above track just serves to enhance that idea. Madonna may feel empowered by her image, which is amazing, but I can’t help but feel that a popstars image is just subliminally crafted by a bunch of educated, old, white men in the elite upper ranks of a record label. It’s pretty scary to think about the power that these guys have over an artist’s demographic, the targeted audience.
