Throwback: Madonna Sings ‘Toxic’ Unplugged


Recommended Posts

Not at all related to her cover of toxic, I’ve always been surprised by the ratio of her fame to what her signing voice sounds like. But I guess some non-Britney fans could say that about her as well. Is it more just what she did and the breaking boundaries/contributions to pop culture-type thing? Not that I think her singing voice is bad, but I have many friends who I think sing just as good. Nothing really stands out to me.

It's a fallacy, no? You don't have to have the best voice to have star power. Having the best-sounding voice doesn't necessarily mean you have the greatest star quality either.

There are many good examples of people with amazing voices whose fame is mediocre, at best or they simpliy vanished. Stardom is more about a vision and knowing how to make it happen. It isn't about one skill, at all. Yes, many famous people happen to have incredible voices or talents, but not all.
