Madonna better hulk up.

Right? I was just talking about this the other day.. Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Prince were the "big 3" at one time. Madonna is the only one left

Totally agree that as far as pop icons go, those are the top 3.

Of course we have had other giants in music, you could say Elvis, Lennon. Cobain, Mariah, Elton John, Garth Brooks, etc but seriously, Madonna, MJ and Prince have defined the genre. They established the audio/video pop music format that is still the norm today.

Whether it be album releases, music videos, movie roles, live performances or whatever - they set the standards.

There are no current stars even close to that level. Also, it will be extremely hard for ANY other star to reach that level because music has changed so much since the late 70's and 80's. It would be almost completely impossible to reach album sales like Thriller because it's so easy to bootleg and torrent/etc.

Something will have to change in music, big time.
