Her career has spanned decades, survived fashions and struggled through a variety of public relations disasters.
But last night hundreds of die-hard Madonna fans abandoned their Queen of Pop by marching out of London's Hyde Park during her MDNA concert - some branding it the worst they had ever seen.
Even a sexy striptease on stage left fans cold- one simply stated: 'When Madonna has concerts in her 50s where she strips herself on stage, you know her career is as dead as myspace.'

Many fans decided they did not want to stick around to watch the finale as of the poor sound quality, terrible weather and Madonna's failure to perform more of her classic hits.
One reviewer even said at one point Madonna screamed: 'We love you Poland', which if it was a joke fell flat on an already less than enthusiastic audience.
Others said a 10.30pm curfew imposed by Westminster Council meant Madonna was forced to start her performance early, in broad daylight, which meant the elaborate staging was lost to some of the audience.

Earlier her management admitted it had failed to sell all the tickets for the concert - Madonna's first in England for four years.
It is believed some fans were put off by the £77 for the open air show.
A number of fans later complained on Twitter about the show. One user, Courtney, tweeted: 'Worst gig I have ever seen.'
Dawn Gracie wrote: 'Madonna left early,' adding later: 'I mourn those vintage Madonna days ... where potty mouth and violent imagery wasn't necessary. Just good vibes and great music!'

Claire Whitaker said : 'When Madonna has concerts in her 50s where she strips herself on stage, you know her career is as dead as myspace.'
Kylie Minogue, George Michael, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and U2 star Adam Clayton were among celebrities seen watching the show - which finished just moments before the 10.30pm curfew imposed by Westminster Council.
Her sexy strip took place while she sang Like A Virgin in front of the 50,000-strong crowd.
Madonna, 53, peeled off her clothing to reveal a sheer bra and black lacy thong, which she wore under fishnet tights.

Her toyboy boyfriend Brahim Zaibat, who was on stage as a backing dancer, then helped to fasten a corset around her.
She told the audience: 'I like to live dangerously.'
Madonna also introduced her 11-year-old son Rocco, who joined her as a dancer during the gig.
As well as performing hits like Papa Don't Preach, Hung Up and Vogue, she also showcased tracks from her latest album MDNA.

She made a dig at pop rival Lady Gaga by incorporating her track Born This Way during a rendition of Express Yourself.
Not all fans were disappointed. TV and radio presenter Toby Anstis tweeted : 'I can definitely say, that was THE best live show I have ever seen! Mesmerising from start to finish! Amaaaazin!'
Madonna's press spokeswoman Barbara Charone, was unavailable for comment about the mass walk-out.
A colleague said : 'She is out doing Madonna-related stuff.'

As usual, I can't post the pix - apologies - but it's from the Daily Mail, in case anyone's dubious about clicking the link.

[Sarzy]

Her desperation to still be relevant and cool is embarrassing. Ooh a fake gun on stage, how daring.

[McJag]

Poland?? She sounds nuts.

[rollo]

Her career is as dead as myspace. LOL.

[HWBL]

It's amazing how in her case Karma really is a bitch. She's become everything she ridiculed and kicked against, back when she thought she would live forever, forever youthful and forever with the world at her feet.

[sluce]

You're all a bunch of haterz. You're just jealous because she is aging so well.

[rollo]

[sluce]

^Exactly! Now that is aging gracefully.

[hustle4alivin]

Cher and Tina Turner are living proof that women in the music industry can age gracefully and still tour without resorting to Madonna's ridiculous antics and attempts at relevancy. too bad Madonna didn't go their route. She's ran out of steam, but more than likely is surrounded by sycophants who wouldn't dare tell her that something she does is *not* awesome and cool.

[sluce]

Careful there Hustle. Don't be dissing Madonna. She may want to buy that baby from your avatar.

[mjw]

I hate gold diggers but those men fucking her deserve that money.

[witchcurlgirl]

oh, that crazy daily fail. the other big london papers gave the show good reviews.

The crowd at the London debut of Madonna's MDNA tour could deal with the rain but despite the singer's best efforts on stage, the feeble volume was a let-down

The fuck? Time to send her to the nursing home and pump her full of IV dementia meds.

She's ran out of steam, but more than likely is surrounded by sycophants who wouldn't dare tell her that something she does is *not* awesome and cool.

But Cher and Tina Turner can sing.....

It does sound like The Daily Fail had an agenda (who? them?) in dissing Madonna's show, but I don't get why so many people still want to see her in concert. Somebody's buying tickets, so somebody must be happy seeing her perform. But to go to this concert in 2012 and then tweet and moan that you mourn "vintage Madonna" is ridiculous.

[Kathie_Moffett]

She REALLY must have been a secret drug abuser/heavy drinker/smoker, or some combo of the above, all these years. Nothing else quite explains aging THAT horribly, especially since she's never apparently been a sun-worshipper.

I could say it's just her inner meanness seeping out through her skin, I suppose.
