Once in a lifetime, there are singers that not only make an impact in music, but in social aspects of society. Madonna accomplished this, and is my second favourite singer. With the way she changed music, her lack of aversion to sex, and her support of LGBT+ issues, Madonna is one of my favourite singers.
When it comes to pop music, no one has inspired more artists than Madonna. Through the years, Madonna has shifted her sound from lighter pop (Holiday, Like a Virgin), to dance (Vogue, Ray of Light), and even hip hop (4 Minutes, Bitch I'm Madonna). She was one of the first female pop superstars, and she paved the way for current stars today, such as Beyonce, Lady Gaga, or Britney Spears. Artists such as Adele, Drake, Miley Cyrus, and Taylor Swift have all credited Madonna with inspiring them to be who they are today. Through a shift in genre, and inspiring artists, both male and female, Madonna has helped pave the way for pop music.
In life, the act of sex is natural, yet has a stigma around it. In the music industry, people are shamed for bringing sex appeal into their acts, like Miley Cyrus and Christina Aguilera. However, Madonna was able to incorporate sex into her albums, and into her movies and books during the early 90's. During the early 1990's, Madonna focused on sex appeal to sell albums, such as Erotica and I'm Breathless. Her music videos for Erotica and Justify My Love have been among the most controversial of videos, being banned from television and criticized by conservative watchdog groups. She didn't limit herself to audio, but she also published coffee books featuring her in sexual positions. Her book, Sex, featured her in various positions with Vanilla Ice, Naomi Campbell, and other famous porn stars. It was criticized, but her willingness to push the border earns my respect.
One of my biggest, and most personal, reasons why I think she's a great superstar is her support of the LGBT community. Many call her the greatest gay icon of all time, which I think is a fair claim. Her book, Sex, heavily featured homosexual porn, and she's never been afraid to showcase gay sex in her videos. One of her best moments was in 2013, when she wore a Boy Scout outfit to protest the ban of LGBT Boy Scout members.
Through her influence in pop music, female artists, the use of sex, and in LGBT rights, Madonna takes the spot of my second favourite artist. Without Madonna, there may not be the artists that we see in the mainstream today. Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera may have not gone into darker material, and stuck to bubblegum teen pop. Beyonce may have not created the Sasha Fierce persona, as no artist before her really took on a persona quite like her. Anyways, I think that Madonna Louise Veronica Ciconne, also known as Esther, is my second favourite singer in history because of her usage of sex in songs, her 'I Don't Care' attitude to LGBT rights and her willingness to change musical tastes.

From here on out, this room will no longer be known as the HOH Room, and will be known as the Bullet Club battle room. No reason to make it go to waste.
I'd like to put something here for those in the jury, and my friends, to see.
Throughout the twist parts of the game, I have kept a tally on all votes from everyone that I believe to be 100% correct, but I wont know that until the game is over. A lot of people think that my fellow Bullet Club members feared me, and that's why they all did what I asked of them throughout the game. While that is completely not true, I'd like to post how voting went the first few weeks just to show you guys...how much I played you as well to vote the way I wanted you to.
Week 1:
Brendan and Jacob Jake Casey Carleen Brad Adam Trent Ryan Taylor Isaac
Adam and Brad Brendan Jacob Red Liam Jay
Liam and Red Crystal
Week 2:
Jake/Crulex Red
Crulex/Brad Casey
Brendan/Jacob Casey Crulex Trent Amanda Isaac
Red/Jay Brendan Jacob Carleen Crystal Jake
Week 3:
Carleen/Brad Red
Red/Brendan Jake Crulex Trent
Jacob/Brendan Crystal Isaac
Trent/Brendan Spidey Carleen Brad Ryan Amanda
Week 4:
Jacob/Red Jake Carleen Isaac Amanda Crulex Spidey Ryan Taylor
Red/Isaac Trent Brad
Isaac/Jake Red
Carleen/Adam Crystal
Taylor/Isaac Spidey
Adam/Isaac Jacob
Week 5:
Jacob/Taylor Spidey Amanda Isaac Carleen Crulex
Jacob Jake
Isaac Spidey
Adam/Brad Crystal Taylor Jacob
Adam Ryan
As I said these could be wrong. But keep in mind, I had to be social with quite a few people to make this happen. I know my social game is constantly attacked, but you know who I hardly spoke with and when I did, it was terrible during the first few weeks of the game? Jacob and Brendan. I would speak with Taylor on occasion (he was probably the least often out of people I was good with), Isaac, Ryan, Amanda, Crystal (probably actually less often than Taylor), and then every member of the Bullet Club who I had to speak to constantly to make sure all things were done correctly and proper votes were sent in, deadlines were met, stuff like that. I have done so much socially that it's hard to think that anyone, even blinded by bitter feelings, could deny it.
But I get it. Because I gave people chances and let them know I was targeting them, and essentially because I showed pride where I earned the right to, I am terrible. Got it.

So, I guess since I'm technically the current HOH, I welcome these changes, and I hope you enjoy the new Bullet Club Headquarters, right here on Proboards!

Ah...you know, the final three is great, guys.
We all earned it, clearly. That's why we're still here. We have all been the HOH four times each, I've won the Power of Veto five times, it's amazing. We took out everyone! Honestly, no one is as deserving of this final three than us. I love it.
