Can someone point me in the direction of ONE song where she gives a stellar vocal performance?  Thx. 

We're far too quick these days to disregard any female pop vocal performance that isn't Mariah/Adele levels of belting. Madonna has one of the patchiest track records amongst female popstars when it comes to vocals (there's my unpopular opinion, maybe?), but there are some absolutely spellbinding performances in there. Oh Father is a stellar vocal performance, Waiting is a stellar vocal performance, Crazy is a stellar vocal performance, Express Yourself and Burning Up are two of the best vocal performances in all of pop music. None of these are going to make any Youtube compilations of popstar vocals, but in each case, they're technically great, and perfectly fit the mood of the song whilst also making some genuinely interesting creative choices. In each case, they elevate the song, and in each case, you can't imagine anyone else doing a better job.
