John: you have written a very good article here and I agree with most of your points in it. I think that a lot of people may have been misled by my use of the term "repulsive" in describing Madonna et al in my original posting. I should've said that it was her music that was repulsive. I was trying to make the point that I don't think Kate's any great shakes at dancing, but she doesn't have to be given the musical sophistication she possesses. (To assuage the flamethrowers I hear being loaded - I LOVE Running Up That Hill - it's great in every respect - now CHILL OUT!) On the flip side, you have the Janet Jackson/ Paula Abdul/Madonna triumvirate who are all pretty decent dancers and/or choreographers. But I meant to say that the MUSIC they do sucks doggie dirt. Maybe I find the video mix of "Express Yourself" to be a guilty pleasure, but there's just something about a woman writhing in crass, orgasmic ecstasy on a $500,000 video set to a Shep Pettibone remix that appeals to the pimpled adolescent no doubt trapped somewhere in this sleek physique of mine.
