Madonna...I mean Esther's Ghost Writer

Has anyone else noticed that whenever Madonna tries to take herself seriously, she always loses? (and even though I hate Andrew Toad Weber's music - Evita is probably the exception) I've read The English Roses, and I can honestly say that I don't believe that a rabbi could recreate a middle aged pop star's impression of What It Feels Like for a Girl to be left out of the clique.
