Kylie Minogue vs Madonna -- which overall artist do you prefer?

> 60M in record sales is a footnote compared to 300M, but that's subjective.

LOL, subjective. Give it up. You're just wrong.

Compared to The Beatles, with easily over a billion units in sales, Madonna is a piss-ant.

[time space]

I'd say it's quite a fact. The average person does not know who Kylie Minogue is. Whereas everybody knows who Madonna is. Madonna has accomplished more in her career than Kylie ever will. 60M in record sales is a footnote compared to 300M, but that's subjective.

I'm pretty sure whoever voted on the poll voted Kylie on the basis that she's hotter, however as a musical icon, it's an undisputed fact that Madonna is a legend. It is just laughable to call Kylie that.

That whole post is adorable!

From it's beguiling opening sentence: "I'd say it's quite a fact."...

(Think about that statement for a moment.)

...to it's insouciant bolding and finally to it's use of the splendidly reductionist complementary phrase: "an undisputed fact"...

Most enjoyable.

If anyone has seen's Madonna's latest attempt at a comeback you'll know it is just sad and pathetic.

Named her latest album "M.D.N.A.". Trying to identify with the kidz today? No wonder Deadmau5 called her out.

So let's see who looks more ridiculous here:

Madonna?


or

Kylie?


Kylie still looks like she's got it. Madonna is just stumbling through the motions.

OP here.

Yes, Madonna is an extremely successful recording artist. Now that this is established can we please get back on topic.

Please note that the poll question is not "who do you think had more record sales" (answer: Madonna) or "whose name or brand is more recognizable to the average person" (answer: Madonna). The poll question is "Kylie Minogue vs Madonna -- which overall artist do you prefer?" So basically I am soliciting personal opinions. While both are far more attractive than the average woman their age, neither is (at the moment) exceptionally attractive by Hollywood standards; yet both make music with exceptionally broad appeal. Based on this I reckon most people would vote based on experiences with each of their recording careers, musical performances, etc. rather than their looks. But if some people want to vote based only on looks there's no rule against it.

Question for all the people who voted for Kylie Minogue, was it because of the looks or the music? I voted based on my opinion of their music. For Kylie.

Once the 1980s ended, so did my interest in Madonna. Don't like anything she's done since. Kylie, in my opinion anyway, has been pretty consistent in terms of quality so I vote for Kylie.

I like Kylie because she has a nice bum.

Madonna is a joke. When I saw her superbowl performance I was embarassed for her.

I guess Elton John won't be voting for Madonna, calling her a c-unit on live TV (in .au) .

I agree with his comments. Ray of Light was one of her better albums.

edit// Oops, maybe it wasn't live TV, but it was still broadcast on TV .

Interesting results. I really thought at least half the people here would prefer Madonna, guess I was wrong.

Madonna's early stuff. Kylie has owned the transition into club music.

Jean-Claude Van Damme wooed Kylie Minogue by showing her 'his Thailand'

Luck SOB.

Even Kylie admits Madonna is better.
