TOAST 2 THAT / ALL THE BUZZ ON THE HOUSE

I normally love Madonna, but lately I've been getting the feeling that her music has been forced and in many ways reflects a desperate attempt by the reigning queen of pop to remain relevant--even after almost 40 years of relevancy. This is where I believe legends ruin their legacy. Madonna has never been a vocalist like say, Celine Dion or the late great Whitney Houston--she has managed to remain relevant all these years because of her image and her ability to push the boundaries. But lately, with the exception of the Super Bowl, when I see her I get the feeling that she's not acting her age (she has to be pushing 60). The way she's clinging to artists like Nicki Minaj and M.I.A is almost devastating to watch. Even with massive promo her singles are still under-performing on the charts. That doesn't mean that people don't still love and adore Madonna, it just means that her time has passed and from a career standpoint, I think it's best she realized that. Stick to special concerts or do a Vegas run, performing some your many hits.Your thoughts?

Really, Madge! Rapping? Madonna's new album 'MDNA' will be released on March 24.
