Madonna can sing, not sure about her dancing as I don't know well enough, or even that it matters. And age is no matter in any occupation - surely, you get better with years of practice? Tim Booth of James is about six weeks away from turning 50, and is an excellent dancer. (I've seen James live nine times, Tim Booth And The Individuals live once, and danced with Tim at a dance class he was running - yes, this raisin runs dance classes! I know what I mean, don't even try to argue.)
And now, for someone a few million times more famous - Michael Jackson may be dead, but had he not died, he'd have done 50 sellout UK performances this year. (And would probably be the first person mentioned in this thread.) Surely he would have been dancing at these shows, and dancing pretty damn well at that? When he died, he was the same age as Madonna. Being 50 wouldn't have suddenly stopped him - OK, being dead stopped him, but in theory.
Neither Tim Booth nor Michael "Theoretically Alive For The Purpose Of This Post Alone" Jackson, both around Madonna's age, would fit in the "can't dance because they're old" category. Heck, they're not even that old, 50 isn't old. In conclusion, your "because she's old" argument is flawed.
(This post is over, so Michael Jackson is no longer theoretically alive. R.I.P.)
