It's cute that people at the NYT think Madonna herself has anything at all too do with the actual music that is made by a producer and a team of sound engineers.
I was actually a Madonna fan from the 1980s up through the early 2000's. American Life and onward has been pretty disappointing. Her cringe-inducing rapping, endless guest star spots by young, trendy artists, flashing gold "grills," her 21st century persona has reeked of the older woman who still tries to fit in with what the kids are into by aping their language and mannerisms but ultimately coming across as trying way too hard.
For all of her eminently listenable pop records, I have always appreciated Madonna primarily has a visual artist--her music videos and still photography.
Terrorism, eh? Reminds me of what Mel Brooks (IIRC) said about the difference between comedy and tragedy. Tragedy is when I get a paper cut. Comedy is when you slip on a banana peel, fall down a manhole and die.

Getting the word "terrorism" associated with her music will certainly help her Google score.
Crazy like a businesswoman!
I always preferred Cyndi Lauper.
"what she adds to them, what she changes..."

Madnna has standards?

It's not terrorism surely, but I have no problem with artists not wanting their work stolen and dispersed before it's ready.
A form of terrorism? Jesus, we really are in teh last days of Rome.
Madonna has been "over" for a long time.

Well yes, releasing Madonna's music is a form of terrorism.
