Beautifully Pretentious

Madonna is a master manipulator and a Master artist. I give her props for exploring new territory and infusing herself in it. She chooses subjects, topics which are the most surface for people in dire need and she exploits them as a crusader, a savior a musical female Jesus figure. I find it contrived, brilliant and over-thought. Fans will gobble it up and that's the point. Is this documentary sincere, does it really deal with her inner world of loneliness, aging, the compensation for motherhood, the tremendous need to stay relevant .. not a bit. Does it deal with all the problems of her fans and not herself, yes entirely. To add new beats to soul music only ruins the original. She came into a land of exceptional music and came out with reprogrammed, contrived, robotic verse which people want to hear. Madonna, you're a genius but not genuine.
