Doing publicity stunts for 3 decades and dressing up half naked 90% of the time doesn't equate to having talent.

I mean I just said it? She was very good at manipulating her media image and doing things that got her maximum exposure. And she was never stale, every album she released was like she reinvented herself. Look at the change she went through from high pitched Minnie Mouse voice with ratty street urchin hair and clothes in Like a Virgin to where she was in Papa Donât Preach or Like a Prayer. She managed to constantly stay on top of what was in style and what would garner her attention.
And thatâs stuff a lot of other celebrities are not as good at. She was incredibly intelligent and business minded. She wasnât out there doing drugs and acting like a mess, she carefully crafted an image and the media swallowed it whole. And frankly that takes a lot more skill than just being able to sing a pop song well

You pretty much said it for me, all she ever did was publicity stunts, what talent does she have?

Thank you so much for the kind words - I truly appreciate it. I find comfort knowing they are together again in whatever the afterlife has to offer â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸.

Idk I mean you donât have to like her music, but she was an excellent entertainer who was a mastermind at publicity and knew how to get attention in a way many other singers didnât. I think thatâs part of why sheâs considered so impressive: her voice really isnât that great or amazing and sheâs not the prettiest singer to exist, but she still knew how to blow up the news and make sure everybody was talking about her

I think the secret service caught him relieving himself in the rose garden after being "over served" at a white house function.

That's a very odd thing to say in an era which is dominated by completely vapid, meaningless and safe pop stars.

Reply to An American officer and a French partisan during a street fight - 1944 by ModAgamid313
The officer has a low rank. Due to the nice condition of his boots/uniform, and the poor trigger discipline, I would say that he is not an experienced combat officer.
