Madonna

greenspun.com : LUSENET : digital ink : One Thread

Like, this is driving me crazy, ya'll. I am so sick of people worshipping Madonna as if she is the actual MADONNA; when we know she's just another trash hoe slut that wants respect now cause she's forty and has kids. They had that bitch's wedding on the muthafuckin news! Alright then, when/if I get married, they better do a story on my ass too. Anyway, my main prob with her and her fans (I used to be one) is that they swear she's this huge fashion icon or some shit. Anybody with sense knows that she sees the shit on the street scene, gets her team of hair, clothes, and makeup to fix up her a exact replica of what she's seen, and then she goes out in public so the dumbasses can say: "She's done it again! She's created a whole new image for herself!" Everything that hoe does is for attention; she has no shame, even for her children. Her face just looks tired, and her music sounds like it's struggling like hell. She knew she couldn't get much attention with the actual music,so she's done all she can to be seen. I understand that, but I'm sick of her ass and titties. I've been sick of it.

I don't know Madonna personally, so I don't know her motivations, feelings, emotions, or reasons for what she does. I try not to trash those I don't know. There are just too many good reasons/excuses for actions.....like today, my friend Phil was driving (in the right lane) and got stuck behind a (relatively) slow person -- about 49 in a 55. He complained about how slow they were going, and I said there could be a thousand reasons why they were going slowly: it was icy (in MN), their car could be dying, they might be drunk (not that that's a *good* reason...), they might be sad or worried about something, they might be new drivers who know they can't handle the fast lanes, etc., etc., etc. There are always more than two sides to every story.

I don't worship Madonna or anything but I grew up listening to her music. Infact, I still listen to some of the things she comes out with because I respect her and she gots what it takes, yo. Sure, she might have been slutty back in the day, and sure, she might be somewhat over the hill... but she still continues to entertain the youths out there. She enjoys it and she makes money doing it; what's wrong with that? There are better examples out there to "LilliPad's" theory. McJagger for instance. But um, don't even get me started on him.

I enjoy Madonna's early work, I especially enjoy the Immaculate Collection CD. Her newer stuff just doesn't do it for me. I actually hate it when an artist or band "matures" in their music. As soon as they say they are "growing as an artist" that's almost always an automatic indicator that I'll probably not like their newer stuff.

I'm with you on that Jon. I loved Madonna's work. She was about her music and she is a good businesswoman, but now she's just acting. All of a sudden I see her on tv and she has an ACCENT! I'm like, "You're American, Madonna." This music she has now - it's struggling. Don't try to keep up with today's music scene, cause most of it is crap. And she isn't as versatile as people have led her to believe. Just do your own thing, in my opinion, that's how you keep a REAL fanbase.

As much as you might not like her personally (which I canNOT understand, seeing as how you don't know her - you only know what you see through biased sources), you have to respect (a) her early music, (b) the weirdness and newness of her later music and (c) the fashion trends. Okay, you don't have to do anything, but I respect those things. The fashion trends - did you ever see the crowds of women in 1984 dressed like her? Do you realize how many trends she has started, like that whole thing with the drawing on one's hands (mendhi?)?

I'm not trying to trash you, anybody who hates her, I'm just saying that I don't understand what the big deal is. She's doing her thing, let her go.

How do people hate celebrities anyway? Except for Tea Leoni. She married my boyfriend and I'm still bitter about that. Bitch. (Note: that last part was entirely facetious. I don't know or hate Tea Leoni. David was never my boyfriend. end funnyness.)

Oh, that totally reminded me of my biggest pet peeve in the world.. teeny bopper girls who are convinced older actor/musician types, even those who are married/have girlfriends, are gonna end up with them. I know you were kidding around, but I've met girls who honestly truly believe they will meet David Duchovny and he will fall in love with them.. that drives me bonkers. End rant.

Emily,

I suppose you didn't read or either completely understand my last 2 messages. I HAVE respected and been a HUGE fan of Madonna, therefore - of course I know how many "trends" she so-called started and how many people dressed like her in the 80's. What pop icon hasn't started a so-called revolution by throwing on crap that admirers also later "throw on". (Ex. Britney Spears and that Catholic girl crap, are you gonna tell me she started that?) Anyway, her new music is not weird or exotic, in my opinion. And I have never claimed to have known Madonna (actually, I haven't claimed to know any "celebrities" aka PEOPLE). It is what an artist puts out there that for you to see is what you base your judgement on, even if you're not out to judge anyone- you have your opinion on them and that is basically a judgement. As for the Mendhi thing . . . uh, that's a part of a very old religion, hon. Gwen Stefani was doing for years (way b4 Madonna did it for those couple of months) and nobody ever said that she started a trend. Probably because she DIDN'T. She didn't take any credit for something that had been done for hundreds of years already. I hope you comprehended this last statement correctly. I'm out.
