NYP: Why Madonna still matters.

Madonna may not be in the Billboard Top 10 any longer, but to those acts who are, shes the mother hen.

If you still think Madonna is irrelevant, cast an eye toward some of her one-time contemporaries who have been farmed out to Las Vegas.

Britney Spears was once touted as the new Madonna but she now churns out her old hits at Planet Hollywood.

Mariah Careys last album Me. I Am MariahThe Elusive Chanteuse was a spectacular flop, and she, too, is likely to become a regular fixture in casino land.

If rumors are to be believed, J.Lo will be next on the desert-bound gravy train.

Meanwhile, this fall, Madonna will be playing to sold-out arenas all over North America and Europe on her Rebel Heart tour.

Not only does pop music still want Madonna, it positively needs her.

Besides Mariah, Britney and J.Lo, they forgot to mention Janet Jackson is headed to Vegas as well (along with Diana Ross and Ricky Martin in the same hotel)

Britney, Mariah and J.Lo are not her contemporaries because she started a decade earlier than them, but they are the ones who need Vegas stints to keep going. In the meantime,

So who did make TiVo’s top five most-watched moments of last night Grammys? Here’s a rundown:

1. Madonna’s performance of “Living for Love” came in at number one. The woman will probably still be rocking fishnet stockings and corsets on stage when she’s 75 years old – and that’s why we love her. Her matador number might not have been the best performance of her career (or of last night’s Grammys) but she’s Madonna. It’s not like she needs to prove herself anymore. She appears on a stage, we watch.

Even Beyonce didn't make the top 5 of most watched. The press will say whatever they want, they can be bought anyway, but numbers don't lie. And numbers say that M is still as relevant as ever.

Lol,Janet? Even Vegas would kick her ass out. It's a long time since she had a career.

Its happening...in 2016 after Diana Ross and the other diva,Ricky Martin are done with their mini residencies at the Venetian.

It'll be interesting to see what happens,I think she'll do good.I mean if that guy from American Idol,Taylor something(the Soul Patrol),was able to have a successful LV run after failing the music industry,makes you think anyone can
