Just wanted to say that some of the critical essays I see written now are by people who say they are Madonna fans or USED TO BE Madonna fans, but now they find her desperate, tacky, or awful.

Depending on the main point of their criticism, you can find their essays in the "Old Lady" thread, or "Has Been" thread (Has Been Thread), Desperate to Remain Raunchy thread, or "Fans Angry At Madonna" fan.

Haha look at Madonna mentioning that when she started studying kaballah, there were no celebrities....you can feel the sense of 'i started first-i am a trend setter' tone.
Also, how dare she talks about where the money goes in the Catholic church. How about the kaballah centers...where does that money go? To spirituality for kids??? please! The Catholic church is the largest non-profit aid organization in the world that mostly helps the poor, the war-thorn, sending missionaries to spread the word of God for hundreds of years (I wouldn't say that there has not been injustices in the way) but how come this kaballah is not in any textbook or has any record of helping the poor, the oppressed?...and she questions where the money goes??? The b***h!. If she wants proof in order to believe then so be it. But know that for a lot of people, believing in what they cannot see or understand is enough, and that's called FAITH . Stupid MADONNA!!!

Good article. But yet another in which mandona rips on Christianity. That's been happening in just about every interview she's done lately, hasn't it? I wonder if she got off any shots while she was pushing her latest book- what was that called again-" Doggie Style with Mandona"?(or as she subtitled it, "the good old days") :laugh:
So she's filled with hate for Christianity this time because the Vatican has "all
that gold on the roof"-
Well, let's see- first of all, there's no gold on the Vatican roof. Maybe the stupid bi tch was thinking of a temple in the far east somewhere- after all, all roofs look pretty much the same when you're a demented, stupid, addled old whore.
There are some paintings on the ceiling of the Vatican, but that's not the same as a roof made of gold. Maybe she doesn't know the difference between a painted ceiling and a roof. Not surprising since her time in grade school was spent trying to make people look at her beaver.

Kinda pathetic that she's gone right from kindergarten all the way to age 47 just holding her legs open in front of strangers without even learning the ABC's. Maybe that's why she has so much trouble cribbing- I mean, writing kid's books- she hasn't gotten to that level yet.
But at least we now know she's insanely jealous of the decor at the Vatican. That, from a woman who has mansions all over the world, and designer clothes....and servants that cater to her every whim......and limosines....who wants to buy an island or two....who never appears in public without diamonds and jewels-
Looks like she's angry that people support the Catholic church instead of the religion that she's now taking credit for founding.

But see, people went and did some beautiful artwork for the Vatican, because it's a sacred place. Precious blood was spilled there, and that means something to people.
And the Pope.....only has one apartment. The rest of the place is devoted to worship, and libraries, and archives, and study.

mandona, on the other hand, is worth nothing; why would people want to spend any money on her? :laugh:

I've gotta say, I love her approach to writing. I know quite a few writers, and I'll have to pass on this brilliance. Instead of looking for inspiration, turning over plot points, and waiting for the creative mood to strike, they can all do it her way: sit at the computer and wait for "something to come out." Somehow I have to visualize a toilet in all this.

I remember seeing somewhere that she started writing books because "there weren't any good books with morals for children." So she writes The English Roses, about how you shouldn't judge people by how they look. Judy Blume certainly did not cover this territory with Are you there God, it's me Margaret. Richard Peck didn't cover jealousy and how hard it is to be the poorest in school in Ghosts I Have Been, so it's a good thing Madonna had her "Binah" deal with that as well. And what's the point in reading Katherine Paterson's Bridge to Terabithia when Madonna's coming out with a new, didactic book. Yes, it's great she's writing, because none of the above books are any good.

According to fan site Drowned Madonna, this newspaper article you linked to is from a British newspaper called The Guardian. The interview was done by a Dina Rabinovitch, and according to the intro, she is a "long time [Madonna] fan." This interview (according to the fan site) was done to publicize Madonna's Lotsa De Casha book.

I will type in some of the quotes from the inteview, followed by my observations or thoughts.

Quote:
 
She has a book deal to write children's stories - the only problelm is, there's nothing on the screen yet. "It didn't come easily," she says. "I'm methodical, so I set aside time to sit at my computer - of course, in the time that the children are at school - for four hours every day, but nohting came out. My husband [the film-maker Guy Ritchie] said: 'Write what you know about, and it will come, and then you edit out the bits you don't like.' And he was right - that worked."
(#1.) Why is Madonna acting as though she had writing block? She already said early on that her books were "inspired by" Kabblah stories she heard from Berg.

(#2.) Secondly, she's had a long history of ripping off other people's ideas, so why did she opt to attempt at being original this time (though she point (#1.) above).

Quote:
 
She was attracted to the Kabbala Centre because her Catholic school never  answered any questions: what is the meaning of life? What is the purpose of creation? If there is a God, why is there suffering? How do you reconcile Genesis with Darwinism?
(1.) Has she never heard of Christian apologetics??

(She should also get a copy of The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? , by Rick Warren; or click here to visit the official site.)

Christians have written mounds of essays, tracts, and books about these questions she has.

For example,
Unravelling Wittgenstein's Net: A Christian Think Tank

Tekton Apologetics

Probe Ministries


- although "Probe," is, I believe incorrect on its stance against women serving as clergy in Christianity; see this site for rebuttals to the traditionalist gender view. See their "Free Article" link, which is under the "The Resources" heading on the left side of the page.

Apologetics Press

Origins - This site features scholarly and popular resources concerning intelligent design and philosophical theism
- in other words, they also cover Darwinism / evolution

-and that's just the tip of the ice berg. I could list many, many more such links.

(2.) Um, Madonna - have you ever read the Bible yourself? Instead of relying on the Roman Catholic magisterium to tell you what it means, rather than accepting unquestionably the official Roman Catholic stance on what it all means, have you ever read the Bible yourself? You should.

(3.) Have you ever considered that maybe Roman Catholicism is not the end-all, be-all, or only method of understanding Christianity, that maybe some of the Roman Catholic Church's claims or teachings on some subjects are not true or accurate?

I do not mean to offend any Roman Catholic board members, and if you are one and would like to defend Roman Catholicism, please feel free to do so (but probably in a new thread in the "Outlook" forum would be better than doing so in this thread)...

I know that Roman Catholics believe that their group is the one and only true form of Christianity (though the Vatican 2 position tries to be slightly more open than this), and they claim that they can trace their lineage back to Peter, who was supposedly the first pope, but hello, Madonna, there was a Protestant Reformation.

Have you, Madonna, read any Baptist or Protestant
rebuttals to Roman Catholic claims? - (although the guy behind that site is into "Reformed Theology," a.k.a. "Calvinism," which I do not agree with, either)

I love how she acts like Christian thinkers, authors, and philosophers have never addressed her concerns, when in fact, they've been doing so almost since the inception of Christianity itself.

Quote:
 
The author [Madonna] - much prettier in real life than in photos, and very tiny - was surrounded by heavies and nobody was allowed to approach.
Again with the "she's so little in person" comment.
She looks like a frikkin' corpse in photos we've seen, when she doesn't look like an unwashed, unbathed bag lady or a Sylvester Stallone wanna-be, with those big biceps.

Quote:
 
Her father was very strict when she was growing up, she says. It's left her with a certain regard for discipline and method which she applies to work, and to parenting. She passes on a household tip which I think is a little short of brilliant.

Her daughter Lola (Lourdes) leaves clothes all over the bedroom floor. So how does that play when your mom is Madonna? Not good, apparently. Floor-bound clothes are bagged up and Lola only gets them back if she keeps the room tidy for the rest of the week.
Other mothers have used the approach before, but usually in regards to toys, not clothing. My mom did this to me once when I was a kid. I've heard of other moms doing it with bath towels.

The American t.v. show Malcolm in the Middle featured a plot where the mom, Lois, punishes her sons by locking up all their Christmas presents in the garage. She threatens them with taking all their presents back to the store if they don't behave.

So why is Madonna being made out to be the originator of this parenting technique?

Quote:
 
"I didn't get the stories from the Kabbala Centre," Madonna says sharply. "Well, some I gleaned from my studies, but I've adapted them to a modern vernacular. Some I made up. The idea of sharing is not unique to Kabbala. . . "
Ah- ha. This fits in with my theory about her. She will rip off other people, but
1.) she hates it when people can see that she's not original and
2.) she hasn't always done a 'verbatim' rip-off, which at times, can make her thefts a bit harder to detect.

In one interview, when a journalist asked her about her very frequent habit of ripping off Marilyn Monroe, she snapped back, "So what, so have a lot of other people!" She's showed anger in other interviews when being pressed to explain why she relies on Monroe's persona and look so heavily.

Madonna gets pissed off when people point out she didn't come up with an idea. I said on the old board in a very old post (and I maybe point this out on my site), that when she rips somebody off, it isn't always a "word-for-word" or exact duplicate (whether we're talking about a music video, pose in a photo, out fit she is wearing, hair style, etc).

I guess she thinks if she changes 10% of an idea (or changes song lyrics, a costume, or hair style only slightly) that nobody will notice that she got the idea elsewhere. She changes a song lyric or an outfit or a pose just enough to throw off a casual observer.
Quote:
 
By now, big fan that I [Dina Rabinovitch] am, I am feeling rather depressed. Madonna's a keynote figure in our household - my husband's daughter Chloe dresses up as Madonna on the Jewish festival of Purim, and any other day she can get away with it. Desperately Seeking Susan is my all-time favorite movie. Bagging this interview with Madonna was like winning the lottery - only cooler.

But I'm really floundering now at the news that Kabbala is nothing to do with Judaism at all, at the parroted stuff she keeps spouting about reconciling science with spiritualism. I loved Desperately Seeking Susan, but now it turn out she was acting more than we realised - messy bedrooms are so not her thing. I wanted this woman, my generation, my aspirations, to be great. But it doesn't turn out that way.

"Do you want to ask me any more questions?" Madonna says, very levelly indeed. "No, no, it's enough," I splutter. "You must be tired," I think I say.
So this writer is disappointed because Madonna is a fake. Well duh, I've been saying this forever.

The fans don't listen. They don't want to see the truth. They want to believe in the media- and feminist-pundit- created Madonna image, that she's this strong, indepenent, emboldened, deeply-thinking feminist or a "savvy business woman."

Madonna is a shallow thinker, doesn't have any original ideas, and she's out for herself. She's a vapid pop singer who wants fame and money, and she can't be true to (or consistent with) any central set of values, because she doesn't have any, or, if she has any, she briefly clings to them and dumps them when something else grabs her attention.

If you're looking for deep meaning when it comes to Madonna, or for her to actually believe in and practice the crap she spouts in her publicity releases, you're going to be disappointed every single time. The fans can only see the "marketed" Madonna. They're unwilling to see her for what she is.

I think Lenny Kravitz came up with the idea for the song, didn't he? Which would mean he had to at least know what book of the Bible to crack the volume open to. Man-donna probably wouldn't have had a clue.

There's only one book of the Bible I could picture her actually reading, and that's Song of Songs.
Chapter 1 - skim it over to see what I mean, if you're not already familiar with it. Chapter 2

She sounds like she was let down by the experience:

The two faces of Madonna
  • By Jeanne Beker Fashion Columnist

    [she met Madonna in person]

    ....There’s not much that would tear me away from the frenzy of New York fashion week, but an intimate dinner with the original Material Girl in Toronto on Monday night, hosted by the Bay, was just too glamorous an opportunity to pass up.

    ...Madonna politely said her goodbyes, shook our hands and disappeared into the night, heading back immediately to New York in the private jet. It seemed anticlimactic, really. Maybe it had been a little silly to have made the trek all the way back to Toronto for these few fleeting hours. The fantasy had actually been better than the reality.

    But when I looked at my BlackBerry to check all the tweets that had come in, dozens of people had sent messages, telling me how thrilled they were to be reading along, how they were living vicariously through me, how they would have given anything to meet Madonna, how lucky I was. It was overwhelming.

    And suddenly, I felt very blessed to have been able to soak up a little of the stardust that is Madonna, knowing that the journey is always better than the destination.

We used to have a "Madonna booed by fans" thread a long time ago. I don't know what happened to it. Maybe I merged it with another thread?

It would sure come in handy right now:

'I'm misunderstood,' says Madonna as she gets booed at W.E.'s London premiere
  • The pop superstar-turned-filmmaker left many people in the crowd, some of whom had been waiting for hours, disappointed after only taking the time to chat to a few devotees before heading into the cinema, The (London) Daily Telegraph reports.
Madonna booed by fans at new premier W.E.
  • Madonna received a less than generous reception at her latest film premier when she was booed for only talking to a handful of waiting fans.

    By Daily Telegraph Reporter

    12:07AM BST 24 Oct 2011

    The 53-year-old singer, who co-wrote and directed W.E., admitted she was nervous as she arrived on the red carpet at the Empire cinema in London's Leicester Square.

    The film has already been shown at the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, but Madonna revealed she felt under pressure screening it in Britain.

    She revealed: “It's slightly nerve-wracking because it's about a British king, it's predominantly filmed in Britain, it's a British production, most of my actors are English and I know the British can be tough critics. But I hope they like it."

    The film looks at the romance between Wallis Simpson, played by Andrea Riseborough, and Edward VIII, played by James D'Arcy, which led to the monarch's abdication.

    Both Ms Riseborough and Mr D'Arcy attended the BFI London Festival screening along with co-stars Laurence Fox and Richard Coyle. All the cast agreed Madonna paid great attention to detail throughout the filming.

A Madonna fan is disappointed with MDNA (see letter below) and asks a Billboard employee about it.

The guy who answers the question... I cannot take him seriously, because on his list of most favorite Madonna albums he actually includes that terrible "American Life" album at #6.

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MADONNA?
  • Hi Gary,

    I'm sure that you have followed Madonna for years. I am a huge fan, but I have to ask you, what is going on with her musical career? There was such a great amount of anticipation for "Give Me All Your Luvin," the first single from her new album, "MDNA," highlighted by her Super Bowl performance. I was so excited.

    I have to say, though, how disappointed I am with both "Luvin' " and new single "Girl Gone Wild." I really do like "MDNA," but I don't understand why she released singles that sound dated while the rest of the album has such modern/futuristic-sounding songs. I wish "I'm Addicted" or "Turn Up the Radio" were the first two singles. Madonna was always at the forefront, even in recent years with "American Life," "Confessions on a Dance Floor" and "Hard Candy."

    I'm not happy. Please advise.

    Thanks,

    Gus Tornatore
    Glen Head, New York


    Hi Gus,

    A new Madonna album feels like a visit from an old friend, doesn't it? After 30 years, it's always exciting to see what chapter she adds to her storybook career.

    I can see why there might be some disappointment with "MDNA," as "Luvin' " departed the Billboard Hot 100 after just six weeks. Still, it became her record-extending 38th Hot 100 top 10. "Wild" has yet to dent the Hot 100, although it has become her likewise record-padding 42nd No. 1 on Dance/Club Play Songs.

    Enough with the numbers, though. Pure opinion? "Luvin' " is, to me … ok. I really like the verses but I don't think that the chorus is among her best. I like "Wild" a lot more, although it took a few listens. Once the "hey-hey-hey" hook got stuck in my head, I was hooked.

    [snip rest of answer]
In the answer, the guy also says
Quote:
 
"For all the buzz over the years regarding her image, fashion and controversial religious imagery, it's easy to overlook her songwriting skills. "Live to Tell," "Open Your Heart" and "La Isla Bonita" still stand out"
Madonna did not write Open Your Heart (it was by some guy who wrote it because he had a crush on a woman who was a waitress at a restaurant he used to visit), and I'm pretty sure she did not write the other two songs, either.

She did write the horrid "Where's the Party" which was on the True Blue album.

Teresa Giudice, Madonna Fan, Doesn't Get Post-Show Meet-And-Greet
  • Monday night, Madonna brought her MDNA tour to Madison Square Garden, performing to a sold-out crowd of 20,000.

    However, one person in the audience, "Real Housewife of New Jersey" Teresa Giudice, wanted a private audience with the Queen of Pop after the show. Unfortunately for Giudice, Madonna did not want the same.

    “Earlier in the evening Teresa and her friends were at the legendary Fresco By Scotto restaurant on West 52nd Street in Manhattan. They ordered all the best Italian dishes and were overheard talking about how they could get backstage passes after the show,” one of the diners tells me. “Who wouldn't want to get to hang out with Madonna? It’s a shame they had no idea Madonna doesn't do meet and greets for anyone, even a Real Housewife.”

The following editorial will probably be cross posted to a few different threads
-------------------
This author covers so many concepts we have threads for at this board, it's hard for me to know which thread to put this in, or maybe I should cross post it to a few?

She talks about how Madonna is desperate (but without using the word "desperate"), and she talks about ageism and other things.

I do not agree with this author that Madonna has ever been intelligent, sexy, or talented, though.

She admits to being a Madonna fan, or was at one point, and finds herself very disappointed by what Madonna has turned out to be.

Verity Johnson: Madonna's lost it - here's what she needs to do to get it back
  • by Verity Johnson

    She's more hyped up right now than a five-year-old let loose on Jelly Tips.

    A heavily anticipated, star-encrusted new single, a never before seen New Zealand tour, and rumours of $500 tickets ... the Matriarch is back.

    I grew up on Madonna. She was my conical breasted inspirational figure; she was defiant, intelligent and made music videos into art. She was the bomb.

    You know what it's like when you idolise a celebrity? Not only do you alone know and understand them, you feel personally offended when they let you down.

    That's what happened when I watched, b***h, I'm Madonna.

    The song itself is bad enough; it's got the subtlety of Miley Cyrus, the vocals of late Britney and the artistic expression of Pitbull.

    It takes you back to sticky teenage clubbing nights faster than you can say "oonce oonce".

    But it's not just that. What makes me sad is that it's just so forgettable. The music video is the generic I'm-at-a-party-watch-me-be-like-totally-crazy-look-titties-wahey!

    I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed.

    She's suddenly started spouting the gyrating, arse obsessed, YOLO-themed modern pop. There's no edge. It's predictable. You could swap her out for any of the ready-made pop things in the music industry. But this is Madonna. She can't be so ... boring.

    So what happened? It's getting serious if she's emulating Pitbull; it's like taking inspiration from the Shopping Channel.

    She's not just 'lost it' in her old age. (She proved that with the blistering 2005 Confessions on a Dance Floor.) No, I think it's because she's become obsessed with proving she's still sexy - hence the arse-baring outfit at the Grammys, the topless photo shoots and the public, high profile make outs.

    She said in an interview for Rolling Stone this year: "I have to be the person who opens the door for women to ...embrace the idea that they can be sexual and look good and be as relevant in their fifties or their sixties or whatever as they were in their twenties."

    Great, cool, it's the right message. And she was getting it across fine. Then she started trying to be Miley Cyrus, waving her sexiness in everyone's face and it all fell apart.

    See, Madonna pioneered intelligent sex appeal. She sold sex, sure, but it came wrapped up with incredible dancing, infectious confidence or artistic vision. She was the master of the unexpected; Material Girl gave a satirical nod to capitalism, Express Yourself made Star Trek look prehistoric, and Like a Prayer became so infamous for its racial and religious notes that it was banned on Italian TV.

    It was this edge which differentiated her, and showcased her intelligence, bravery and creativity. All the things that make someone babin'.

    Madonna's sexuality was the smarter, subtler, sophisticated version of sexy. Yes, there was boobage. But for me, her most sexy moments were like when she shows exactly how good at dancing she is, like in Papa Don't Preach.

    Or her confidence, like when she walks along the street in jeans and a jacket for Hung Up.

    Or her cleverness, when she used all that biblical imagery and allusions in Like a Prayer.

    She used to show us that sexy can be your body, but also your talent, confidence, intelligence, bravery or just weirdness. Now she's telling us it's just your body. And pashing anything in front of you.

    She used to show the intelligent, adult version of hot. You know, the realisation as you get older that sexy is everything from being kind to revering the car out of the drive with one hand. It's not just the, "Hey! Look! Boobs!" message from pop starlets who think sexiness is just physical.

    Yeah, of course we all like perky bottoms. But humans are attracted to way more than just that. Confidence, talent, humour, creativity - this is the stuff of potent, consuming allure. After all, it lasts.

    I thought Madonna got that. But apparently she's forgotten. This is sad because you don't get many celebrities brave enough to admit humans have deeper and richer tastes than we're made out to.

    It's also sad because showing sophisticated sexiness also shows how timeless sexuality is. We find traits like confidence or talent sexy, and anyone of any age can have this. In fact, they get stronger as you get older. So by ignoring this she's actually weakening her own message.

    So come back Madonna. You were doing it! You had it! Right up until the moment you tried to prove that you did.

Just wanted to say that some of the critical essays I see written now are by people who say they are Madonna fans or USED TO BE Madonna fans, but now they find her desperate, tacky, or awful.

Depending on the main point of their criticism, you can find their essays in the "Old Lady" thread, or "Has Been" thread (Has Been Thread), Desperate to Remain Raunchy thread, or "Fans Angry At Madonna" thread

Madonna returns to play Sydney after nearly 23 years - and it's too late

  • June 5, 2015
    by Andrew Hornery

    It's been nearly 23 years since Madonna last played in Sydney, and I can't help but feel she may have left her return just a bit too long.

    Back in 1993 I would have gladly paid my right arm and leg to get a decent seat at the Sydney Cricket Ground to see her. In fact, I almost did.

    It was a $250 ticket – about half my weekly wage as a 23-year-old cub reporter fresh from Tamworth. It was a premium ticket in an area called The Gold Zone, where my posse (a couple of hairdressers, a barmaid and a shop assistant) and I were under the impression we would be so close to our idol she would practically be spraying us with her seemingly magical sweat.

    Turns out we were not the only ones with that idea and The Gold Zone was three times the size of the last music venue I had been in – the Tamworth Town Hall. We were buried about 30 rows from the stage behind what seemed like a forest of basketball players.

    But we were still closer to Madonna than the vast majority of the 45,000 other people in the crowd.

    Despite the fact that the only thing being sprayed was lukewarm beer from over-enthusiastic fans, it was a great show. Seeing your pop idol at the peak of her powers was electrifying, and I still remember Madonna writhing about in a simulated orgy singing Erotica. We loved it.

    Fast forward to this week and the prospect of buying tickets for Madonna's concerts scheduled for Sydney next March did not hold quite the same appeal.

    Sadly it seems our celebrity adoration of Madonna has not withstood the passage of time, indeed it has diminished almost as much as the venues Madonna will be playing. Allphones Arena holds less than half the number that turned up at the SCG.

    While I'm still a reporter, albeit with a slightly improved pay packet, just about everyone else in our original posse has changed careers. A few have children, some are on to their second husband or wife, others have moved continents, we all have mortgages and the very idea of staying up past 1am almost seems ludicrous ... almost.

    But surely we still have Madonna, right?

    I sent the text out early last week gauging interest in doing a group trek with the old posse to Homebush to see the show.

    The responses were initially lukewarm, but soon turned stone motherless cold when I shared the ticket prices, with some murmurings contemplating the $499 "Platinum" seats.

    "Too old and too expensive," shot back one of the posse.

    There was also a chorus of discontent about paying such a high price to listen to Madonna's most recent music from her Rebel Heart album, which unlike the pop melodies of Like A Virgin and True Blue from our youth, are titled rather less innocently b***h, I'm Madonna and Unapologetic b***h.

    As another of the gang messaged me: "I hate her new stuff ... and we've got so many bills ... b***h, I'm Broke!"

    When discussion turned to the possibility of doing the cheaper seats – or "Bronze" as they are officially known – at $99 a pop, one of the posse drolly commented: "What? Is that standing room on the stairs at Lidcombe station? I think I'd rather stay home and play her old stuff."

    But all is not completely lost. Instead of forking out money to see Madonna and listen to her new "b***h" music, there are plans afoot to host our own Madonna-themed party, playing the hits we still like and dressing up in our favourite Madonna-inspired outfits.

    Though I get the feeling the bras will be more comical than conical, and somehow I doubt that Madonna would be terribly amused.

There are many comments from her fans who dislike it and resposnses from the stans trying to excuse her.
This one is the best:
"So, thats it... im gonna sell my Madonna tickets.. seems someone is so not matured.. its ok to be different and rebellic.. but this is just childish attention seeking of an aging artist. Bye bye , Madonna"
and response:
"Hey she doesn't operates the account." :laugh:
And the other good ones:
"I'm a fan of her music but dislike it. She talks about respect beliefs, all religions, etc and look what she is doing acting so childish."
"I don't like it. She is offensive and seems really desperate"
"I dislike this too. She cannot compare herself to the holy mother Mary. She should go to Pompei pray to God and mother Mary for what she has achieved in life. Childish and stupid post."
"Utterly disrespectful!"
"Love u M but please stop making fun of religion. You look desperate for attention."
"Madge - this image and your words are offensive, in my opinion. Your EGO has grown way too big, and does not suit you, or your degree of talent. Please respond!"
"Yes, you are Madonna and no need to prove it still. But, sincerely, I don't like your vulgarity..."
"u r not normal"
"HUGE DISLIKES for this post Emotikon unsure Emotikon unsure Emotikon unsure But Emotikon heart You Madonna Emotikon heart <#"
"Someone sure is thirsty for attention!I am not a religious dude but she sure has become an ignorant attention seeking tw**.She is basically pulling a Kanye Yeesus type of move for publicity.Her children should be ashamed of their Mom for trying so hard to be controversial."

...thx for the post Blue Tiger - that's actualky a picture of the Blessed Virgin Mary she posted...the actual, real Madonna, Mother of God...

...pride and ego go before a huge fall...if she thinks blasphemous mockery is just another tool to generate PR buzz and controversy, she may just finally do herself in...
