Oh snaps. It's Madonna. Shes crazy, wild, and has a couple of songs I like. Actually not really. She is pretty famous, but I never really liked her music all that much. Her song, Hung Up, totally stole the melody from the Abba song - gimme gimme gimme. Actually while just browsing around I came across this site:

Which actually has some pretty funny stuff. The "iconic pictures" section is pretty funny, considering most of the pictures are of women who "had a major influence on her." Maybe they had a little more influence on her, as in she just sort of took the same pictures, with a little bit different lighting and an updated outfit. That being copying other peoples work happens so often in the music and entertainment industry that it doesn't even matter. Someone gets sued every so often, but the results of the case are rarely publicized. So she has definitely had an impact on the world, but she couldn't have done it alone.
