There is no doubt about the fact that both Madonna and Michael Jackson changed the game in the music industry and generated millions of dollars. Although you can't blame any one person or artist for the negatives in the industry, did they hurt or help? I started this thread thinking about Nicki Minage and Chris Brown and what I consider to be the negative changes that have happened. IMO.
Michael Jackson- made it acceptable to dance and just lip sync. Now it seems that this is all you have. Dancers who portray themselves as "singers".
Madonna- made it acceptable to do things just for "shock" value- and I might add, has people now applauding her for "reinvention" and what they call "performance art" to cover up the fact that she is really not a singer.
Most "popular" artist fall into these 2 categories and I think it has been the downfall of the music industry.
