Comment:

By controlling her music [i]and[/i] her marketing, Madonna approached her career like a military campaign, busting down doors and showing sharp-witted performers of both sexes how to flex their artistic and economic muscle. As a label head, she launched Alanis Morissette’s [i]Jagged Little Pill[/i], the third-biggest album by a woman [i]ever[/i]. Taking a page from Madonna’s playbook, Missy Elliott formed the Goldmind imprint, not just for her own records (such as ”Get Ur Freak On”), but also for developing new artists. Even guys, like Justin Timberlake and Usher, absorbed her magical talent for reinvention, shedding their boy-toy reputations like an unwanted skin. Ultimately, Madonna’s most lasting legacy may not be found on the stage or in the studio, but in conference rooms where futures are decided and careers are made.
