I do agree that the two are apples and oranges when compared. Madonna appeals to the masses so she likely is considered in a less favorable light by some. I think they are both extremely talented, but in different areas.
She may be a good dancer ,truth be told I have not watched her enough to really notice but I'm certain there are many ,many more talented dancers in the world..her singing is pretty ordinary she can carry a tune most of the time but nothing to merit the level of stardom she has attained and maintained and as for her acting she is completely and utterly without talent,excruiciating to watch.As I have said before quite possibly the worst actress ever to be given a series of somewhat major rolls in films .Again I will admit in manipulation of the media and at least at one time of being ahead of the curve of the mainstream for pop culture trends and seeking out the hippest collaboraters she is without peer so if those things are talents then yes she is talented.
