Wonder why some pop singers appear to enjoy so much fame in their time. Usually, there are some valid reasons for their popularity.

Let's take a look at Madonna. Madonna is an international icon today, recognized and admired by millions of fans all over the world (1) FOR her strong and independent image as a pop star. Many of her fans have followed her (2) PATH to stardom and consider her their (3) IDOL Her pop music career (4) SPAINS almost two decades, quite an achievement for the fickle world of pop culture (5) WHERE artistes fall into and out of fashion (6) EASILY One reason for her staying power is her chameleon-like (7) ABILITY to reinvent herself.

Through music, he (17) BRIDGED a visiable gap between the two groups of Americans. To the youth of his generation, Elvis also (18) SYMBOLIZED rebelliousness and vitality. His influence (19) PEAKED in the 1950s but declined after the 1960s with the rise of other pop groups. He died in 1977 but he is remembered until today and thousands still flock to Graceland, his home, every anniversary of his death. Elvis Presley has definitely become a music (20) LEGEND
