- How does gender influence the representation of these artists?
In Madonna's music video the ephasis is obviously on her gender, her faminity. She is trying to look and act as sexy as possible. All her moves are full of sex. And the dancers are very hot topless men, but they are in thights and high heels which make the whole video a bit odd, in my opinion.
Even the title of the music video contains the word girl, so it is obvious that gender plays a big part of the video.
As for David Bowie's video, I don't think gender really matters there.
- Is genre playing a part in that representation?
Yes, definitely. While Madonna's music is a really modern kind of pop music, Bowie's song is rather slow and melancholic. And the video nicely shows the huge contrast between the type, genre of of the music: While Madonna is dancing in a club-like place, David's music video is about the past, it has a much deeper meaning.
- Are we likely to discuss these artists in the same terms?
No, I don't think it would be a smart thing to do. They are really different singers, with different type of music, comparing them makes no sense. But the common thing is that they both have been famous for many decades and they still try to make new music which a good thing but can have drawbacks
