eh.  there was an article in _homeground_ (Kate fan mag, for you
non-gaffans) of all places, a while ago, comparing Kate to Madonna (in
flattering terms, even.) the main thesis in the article was that
they're both "originals" and "uncompromising." Point sort of taken,
but the main difference is that Madonna's uncompromising originality
goes into her image whereas Kate's goes into her music.

Having said that, Madonna does have a few good songs but I seem to
notice that the ones I particularly respect were either written or
remixed by Shep Pettibone who is a dynamite producer...
