The important thing is the music itself, and if she's creating music you love and/or enjoy then that's all that matters. There has always been controversy which can play some part in the marketing of music and I think there always will be. I actually bought my first Led Zeppelin album because I went to a Christian seminar on rock music and I was curious to see if there was really a backwards message on Stairway to Heaven. Music in many cases is a reflection of a culture or subculture. There was controversy before Madonna came along and there is still controversy. Just look at the Catholic Church. I'm just saying, Madonna wasn't the first person to fuse sex/pop culture with religion and she probably won't be the last. I can only applaud her for her success in marketing herself. Whether or not her music is good enough to back up her marketing is a personal decision.
