Up in Arms about Madge

The latest controversy surrounding Madonna is the state of her arms the popular opinion is that the old queen has been over doing a bit whilst others believe that is pure sexism and no one mentions that Iggy Pop has been looking like this for years and they may have a point. Now I'm not going to argue that Madonna's arms look great or that they are no different from any other woman's because clearly they are whether be a another 50 year old or 21 year old graduate. Yes they have become increasingly muscular without an once of fat on them and for some tastes very unappealing and lets be honest no normal person has arms like that. But people are missing the point Madonna isn't average she is a global superstar the queen bee of global superstars, and to compete in this body obese, highly competitive area Madonna in many ways is no different from a sports athlete. A recent trip to see her live in concert confirmed this on two levels not only is it about looking good and the overall product is the flesh is unbelievably good, but more importantly Madge has to be in tip top shape to do what she does best put on a bloody good show much like an athlete has to be in phenomenal shape to compete. You try dancing a highly energetic dance routines for endless nights in a row across the globe for two hours straight pretty much none stop under the heat of powerfully lights surrounded by body gorgeous dancers half your age, and yet who you can still dance the socks off. We have seen in recent weeks, in stark comparison, in one of Madonna peers what happens when when a performer try's to embark on such a demanding profession without being in peak condition, even 2o something stars have shown us the disaster that can happen on stage if a star is not in top shape remember Britney at the VMA's a few years ago. So laugh at Madonna's endless quest for the perfect body performance but like an athlete it allows her to do what she's got a do and by George she still one of the best in the biz at it but yet we don't criticise Martina Navratilova who roughly the same age as Madonna also has the same type of muscular non fat arms because she's a sports star and that's okay.
