Madonna Doesn't Move to New York in 1978

The Point of Divergence ... Madonna is today considered the Queen of Pop Music. Most artists today site her as a great influence on their style and their music. Really, its almost impossible to imagine the pop music scene without her influence. The big turning point in her life was in 1978, when she dropped out of college at the University of Michigan School of Music Theatre and Dance and moved to New York to pursue a dance career. Two years later, she released her first song, "Everybody", and started her rise to stardom.

What if Madonna had never left the University of Michigan? What would the pop music scene look like today without Madonna's style and influence?
