Madonna Appreciation thread - For fans

[Travis]

Wow, Gaga fans never cease to amaze and scare me with their hostility and general stupidity towards all other females. Madonna didn't even do anything wrong and Gaga's monsters are on the attack. My two cents on the following article - For the sake of humanity, I hope that "Little Monsters" are infertile...:beee:

Lady Gaga‘s little monsters are a rabid, dedicated and devoted bunch. In fact, some might say that they are disciple-like in their unwavering worship of the Mother Monster. However, they may have taken their love for their heroine a bit too far as they launch a backlash campaign against Madonna, who has been taking swipes at Gaga while she promotes her new film ‘W.E.’ and new album ‘M.D.N.A.’

First off, Madge has remained tight-lipped about Gaga for the past year, barely uttering a peep about the sonic similarities between Gaga’s smash ‘Born This Way’ and her own 1989-hit, ‘Express Yourself.’ Until now. In her much-recycled ABC interview, she called the song “reductive.” The literal translation is “crude,” but there was a lot of pointed meaning packed into that million dollar word. In essence, Madge, while calling Gaga talented, reduced her to a copycat. Madonna is the biggest pop star of the last century and she can never be topped, so she doesn’t even need to resort to such cattiness. But the the monster contingent ain’t having any of it and has rushed to the aid of the Mother Monster with the spirit of angry Rottweilers.

While their intentions may be good, some of the rhetoric they are spewing is crossing the line. The Examiner reports that civil rights activists in Chicago got together at the Windy City’s Martin Luther King, Jr. library to discuss his legacy, since tomorrow (Jan. 16) is MLK Day. The conversation shifted to the little monsters and their comments about Madonna in the wake of her criticisms of their idol.

The monsters have a blog dubbed ‘The Lady Gaga Project,’ whose mission statement and sole purpose of existence is to further the Gaga cause with a take-no-prisoners approach. Their tag even states that the blog is “where Little Monsters come together to help Mother Monster with her music and causes.” One blogger posts, “Let’s continue our anti-Madonna campaign. Remember to post negative things about her.” Madge is even referred to as “an old whore.”

The Chicago group pointed to several racist and bigoted comments against black people and older folks on the blog. While it’s important to recognize Gaga herself did not launch this counterattack (since Madonna’s statements can be viewed as the first attack) and likely does not condone such comments since she opens her arms to monsters of all walks of life, colors and creeds, the little ones are sparing no one’s feelings as they fight for Gaga’s honor. Their passion is amazing, but we have to agree that they need to cease with the racist and inappropriate comments. Case in point: a photo of Madonna holding her young, adopted son and saying that’s her next boyfriend, given her penchant for dating younger men.

Ignorant comments aside, this contingent is serious about making life hell for Madge.

Another post read as follows:

Get ready, Folks. Starting on Monday, March 26, Little Monsters everywhere are going to make it one week of Hell for old lady Madonna and her psychotic followers. During this week, we will literally destroy the hit potential of “Give Me All Your Love” by negative tweets, negative messages, and calling radio stations personally to ask them to stop the song.
Which pop diva is going to extend the olive branch first before this gets uglier? The monsters are on a mission and will not allow this trash talking from Madge.

Oh my goodness. These people need to calm down. Madonna had the right to her opinion. I don't see anything horrible in what she said. If Michael was here and we did that to another artist Michael would be ashamed of us. Lady Gaga promotes peace and no bullying right? That would hurt her more than Madonna in the long run.

You would think so, but they spit in the face of everything that their "Mother Monster" preaches to them. They are seriously the most vile fan base I've ever encountered. They made me seriously reconsider being a fan.

I agree. Personally, I think that Lady Gaga needs to say something about this. This is getting really nasty and it doesn't have to be. This is just my opinion.

That is sad because someone could do something really stupid and Gaga will have to deal with it. Gaga fans don't have to like Madonna but there is no need for that.

Thanks for posting the song "Masterpiece" on the previous page. I had not heard it yet and was curious to hear it after it won the Golden Globe. It's nice. I hope she performs it on the Academy Awards (and that it is nominated). I am rooting for Madonna to succeed with her movie. I think longevity in this business should count for something instead of always paying so much attention to the latest young and new thing.

The Oscars snubbed her on a technicality. Something about the song not playing within a few seconds/minutes of the credits. It's sad it happened because it really is a pretty song and it's so great to hear a proper ballad from Madonna after so many years. I just hope the song is included on the album as it is rumored to be.

And yes, I too wish Gaga would speak up and tell her psychotic fans to take a pill and sit down. They are so threatened by Madonna, a woman they label as "old and irrelevant" and yet here they are making campaigns to ruin her success at any cost. Little do they know it only proves how much of a threat Madonna truly is to them. Bunch of losers!th:

Her song can't be nominated for an oscar? She won the golden globe for it and that usually leads to oscar nomination.

Well I guess money is God.....and while the feral "monsters" will keep paying.....gaga's mouth will remain sealed!!!!

It's funny how we all can see how Gaga has attempted to copy Madonna. But gaga's fans just can't seem to see it. It can't possibly get more obvious then 'Born This Way'!!!!

Madonna is Queen of Pop, the one and only...and nobody will ever take that away from her!!!!

Liz Smith's Statement About Madonna, Lady Gaga And Elton John


'IT’S REDUCTIVE.'
Those two words, uttered by Madonna, in response to ABC-TV’s Cynthia McFadden’s question about a Lady Gaga song, has 'gone viral,' as they say.
Even better, when McFadden, who certainly knows what the word means, asked Madonna to define it, M coyly said, 'Look it up!'
Apparently, a lot of people have. Now, I keep hearing the word, generally accompanied with a laugh and a reference to the pop icon. Madonna has taught us much over the years, now she’s revived a word rarely used. (Well, I’ve always said if Madonna hadn’t gone into music, she would have stayed in Michigan and become Miss Ciccone, the stern English teacher.)
It was this benign answer about Gaga that became part of the Elton John/ David Furnish’s attack on Madonna, after she won a Golden Globe for best original song on Sunday night. The song is titled 'Masterpiece' from her coming film, 'W.E.' (Elton’s effort was 'Hello, Hello' from the flop animated movie 'Gnomeo and Juliet.') Aside from ripping Madonna’s song, the pair declared - on Twitter and Facebook - that Madonna’s 'attack' on Gaga 'shows how desperate she is.'
Goodness, I didn’t get that at all. Madonna has no inclination to trash Gaga. But she is certainly within her rights to imply, gently, that Lady G. has appropriated some aspects of her image, sound and message. Music critics were the first, in fact, to point out the similarities between Gaga’s 'Born This Way' and M’s 'Express Yourself.'
Elton John, who has been a star since 1970, feels he has earned the right to be perennially cranky and opinionated. Fine. And he does wonderful charity work.
But I think Madonna, who has been a star since 1983, has earned the right to answer a question honestly, from her point of view. Or to accept an award, if she wins one.
Elton has had a bee in his bonnet about Madonna for years. At various times he has criticized her singing, dancing, her right to be a star, even. She has rarely responded.
In this case, however, it is Elton who appears to be 'desperate.' Back in the day, Madonna could be ungracious and careless in her remarks, but I never recall her attacking another performer in this manner, or publicly declaring she should have won an award instead of somebody else. (Perhaps she learned her lesson when, in the midst of a wave of positive reviews and publicity for 'Evita' - and a Golden Globe win - she said she thought she deserved to be nominated for an Oscar, too. The Academy was not amused.)
The truth is, most of the public has never heard either Elton or Madonna’s song. Why carry on so?
Oh, 'reductive?' It means something is the same, only less.

New footage of Madonna recording a new song (called 'Birthday Song') with rapper M.I.A. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

This video was shown in the ABC Nightline Interview! This is by the way the first time since the making of ROL that Madonna let cameras into the recording studio and the third time overall in her whole career.
I think it sounds interesting...I hope we'll get another footage of that soon!

I hope one day Madonna do a duet with Kylie Minogue. It would be perfect! :girl_sigh: :wild:

 

[marebear]

Even if Madonna said nothing about Gaga herself, people are going to ask her anyways. The similarities are too much. It's not one thing or by coincidence. If she said no comment people would think something is wrong anyways. Sometimes I hear a song and it sounds familiar and I don't know right away where the sound came from but the first time I heard Born This Way I knew immediately. I don't think that Lady Gaga didn't notice it herself. It's like everyone noticed the similarity right away too.

[Travis]

Madonna snubbed by the Oscars AGAIN. Big surprise! #not

Here's a great article on Madonna and the BS that gets thrown her way. So much truth!...

How Do You Solve a Problem like Madonna? Reductive Reasoning



In 1984, the school newspaper where I went to college ran an editorial called “It’s Time to Get Really Mad About Madonna.” Her message, as the male writer repeated, was “**** me.” If there was an additional message behind the “banal” songs and videos for “Material Girl” and “Like a Virgin” it was “**** me again.” The world’s biggest slut had been born, and the country needed to stop caring about the arms race or Reaganomics or the widening income disparity between rich and poor, and obliterate the **** among us.

Something happened on the way to her circumcision, and Madonna, unlike most of her detractors, remained intact. More than 25 years later the vitriol mob remains, exhausted but as angry as ever, and they’ve added to her list of whore crimes, “**** you.” Madonna is about as “over” as the Common Cold, and just as infuriating, and when you can’t stop someone you can only reduce them. Good luck with that.

Gearing up for a new album, a new movie, and a Super Bowl half-time appearance, the Queen of Pop Provocation did a couple of talk shows and, as effortlessly as the reactions were strained, marketed a maelstrom. Never mind Madonna’s take on mothering a 15-year-old girl or her penchant for dating young men or even her just announced 40 million dollar record deal, all anyone cared about was Madonna’s opinion of Lady GaGa, and both Graham Norton and Cynthia McFadden were determined (rightfully so) to satisfy the audience.

Madonna said lots of things about Lady GaGa; lots of good things. She called her “a very talented artist” and said, of her work, that “sometimes I think it’s amusing and fun.” None of that matters either. When she told McFadden that GaGa’s “Born This Way” tune “feels reductive,” the definition of the word was over before the search began. Madonna, the bitch, the shrew, the hag, the has-been, and, quite possibly the most critically reduced artist on the planet, had crossed a line. Ironically, she also invented the line.

Whatever one personally thinks of Lady GaGa or the song “Born This Way,” the fact is that for the past year both the artist and the tune have been put under the Madonna microscope. No sooner did the single hit the airwaves than the other bleach-blond Italian American gay-loving pop star got accused of copying Madonna’s “Express Yourself,” inciting a plethora of YouTube parodies and mash-ups and criticisms that would make “reductive” sound like high praise.

It probably didn’t help much that GaGa (who called any song similarities “retarded&#8221 took a sudden liking to videos where she dances in her underwear and wears bullets for bras and throws in a lot of crosses and rosaries and pisses off the Catholic Church. It also probably didn’t help that, when GaGa won a Grammy for something other than “Born This Way,” she took to the stage in a Blond Ambition ponytail and cone-breast corset and thanked her “Born This Way” muse Whitney Houston—the woman who once said she’d kill her children if they turned out to be like Madonna. (I’m fairly certain that murdering your kids is a tad worse than calling a song “reductive,” yet that comment never put a dent in Houston’s, at the time, good Christian image.) And it also probably didn’t help that, when asked why people compare her with Madonna, Lady GaGa, wearing bright red lipstick and the “Express Yourself” platinum-blond locks, said it was because they “sort of” look alike. Yes, and I “sort of” look like Jake Gyllenhaal.

The counter-argument most people give when the GaGa/Madonna imitations arise is that Madonna has copied everyone under the sun, and therefore has no right to criticize her predecessor. It’s a valid point, even if those same people don’t generally acknowledge that Madonna never did criticize GaGa until the McFadden interview, nor has she ever denied taking on the personas of other image makers.

What Madonna accomplished is unprecedented genius. Colliding with the 1980s MTV Generation, and her spoof of Marilyn’s “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” the singer grabbed the 20thcentury’s most iconic ladies and photographs and films and fashions and trends, and spun them into three-minute movie musicals, complete with the catchiest soundtracks on tap, and all the while keeping her signature wink intact. She resembled a lot of women, but none of them more so than the one calling the shots. In her crass sentiment, Madonna did something utterly original. To sum it up as clever marketing, the one area where people begrudgingly give her credit, is reduction in the most demeaning sense.

Madonna forever changed the way female pop artists are marketed and sold, and every girl with a material dream has studied or has been instructed by someone who’s studied Madonna. Whereas “re-invention” used to be frowned upon as too dangerous, it’s now de rigueur for longevity. Whereas “Bad Girls” used to be the victims of a Donna Summer song, they’re now the envy of innocent fools. From Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” to Britney Spears’ “Oops!… I Did It Again” to every song by Ke$ha, if you want to prove yourself as a commodity, you have to light a fuse.

If Madonna made a major mistake in her professional life, it wasn’t her acting career or her Sex book. It was getting older. We’re a country of ageists, especially in regards to women, and if there’s anything we hate more than a woman getting older it’s a woman who doesn’t apologize for her disgrace. Had Madonna any dignity, she’d have offed herself years ago. At 53, she may be the biggest selling female artist of all time and she may have more hits than Elvis Presley (a one-time looker/singer/provocateur who was smart enough to overdose), and she may still be one of the most famous women on earth, but none of that matters when she spits in god’s eye by deciding for herself what’s attractive.

Last week, on the heels of the “reductive” comment, Madonna won a Golden Globe award for her song “Masterpiece.” If there’s another way to stop the unworthy, it’s to deny them praise, and Madonna’s career has been peppered with everything but legitimacy. Her critics dove right in, and, not surprisingly, the biggest offenders were women and gay men. The New York Times’ Alessandra Stanley became psychic and said they only gave her the award because “everybody wants to see her,” that few will hear the song (it’s that rare thing when people listen to a Madonna track), and that they were forced to start the music to cut short her ego-laden speech. Stanley, apparently, missed the rest of the show, as pretty much everyone was cut off by the music, including that self-involved, talentless egomaniac Meryl Streep.

The Huffington Post ran an “Onion”-worthy piece called “A Letter to Madonna from a Concerned Gay,” in which the writer, Domenick Scudera, whines over how disappointed he is in his former hero for calling wise-ass straight comedian Ricky Gervais a “girl” (yes, you read that correctly), and then goes on to pretty much fault Madonna for everything but Global Warming. He writes, at the end, “I am desperately seeking the Madonna of yesteryear: daring, a ray of light, in a league of her own. That girl is still inside you somewhere, I bet. Please bring her back. Open you heart, express yourself like you used to do, so that I can justify my love for you again.” I’m not sure what’s more offensive, that Scudera penned this piece of tripe or that Arianna Huffington allowed it to go to print.

Elton John and his husband, David Furnish, expressed themselves in a way that set back gay men about 50 years. John started the Bitch Brunch on the red carpet, saying Madonna couldn’t win with her “******” song, then sat stone-faced when she did. His charming spouse took to facebook afterward, decrying Madonna’s win—“Madonna. Best song???? F**k off!!!”—defaming the Golden Globes as being without merit (an awards show that doesn’t always give to the most deserving? No!), and ending his tantrum by saying Madonna’s “criticism of GaGa shows how desperate she really is.”

It’s always the work of the truly desperate to use the “D” word when describing Madonna. She must be desperate because she cannot be good. She’s not allowed to be attractive because she’s a whore. She certainly can’t be happy, because that will make us miserable. And she’s not allowed to criticize Lady GaGa because she never earned her place on top.

Lady GaGa’s second chapter of fame has played out like a bad sequel to a great first flick. She started out wonderfully, with a strong voice and savvy song-writing skills. If there was a message behind her work it was to embrace your oddity and celebrate unconvention. In that regard, she resembled Cyndi Lauper or Bette Midler more than Madonna. Last year, on the heels of “Born This Way,” she set herself up for failure by repeatedly telling everyone how wonderful her new album would be, then started hammering out weak singles and ridiculous stunts to stay topical. Showing up to an awards show in an egg carries no message other than that you are showing up to an awards show in an egg.

Like countless other female stars, GaGa then read the Clift Notes for Madonna’s career and decided to re-invent herself as Madonna 2.0. That never works, especially when the first one is still in stores. Whereas Madonna hiccuped and the world reacted, GaGa tells us she’s about to cough and then informs us of its importance. Call her videos and outfits what you want; imitation, homage, copies—ultimately, they look like poorly designed remakes of Madonna’s material. Bigger budget, more pyrotechnics, but forced and lacking vision. The only rule of re-creation is to do it well, and she’s failed. If Lady GaGa is as smart as she is talented, she’ll pay attention to the woman who wanted “to rule the world” and carve out her own path to universal domination. Madonna’s message isn’t “**** me” or “**** you”; it’s “**** It!” And she does it better than anyone.

Madonna Made 'Magic' With William Orbit On M.D.N.A.
Singer told MTV News she and her Ray of Light producer 'finish each other's sentences.'

By Jocelyn Vena

Madonna is readying the release of her album M.D.N.A., and for it she headed back into the studio with a familiar face. She hooked up once again with producer William Orbit, who worked on a number of tracks on the album, including her Golden Globe Award-winning "Masterpiece."

The relationship between Madonna and Orbit has been a fruitful one. He produced most of the songs on 1998's Ray of Light, including "Ray of Light," "Nothing Really Matters," "Frozen" and "The Power of Good-bye." The album later won several Grammy Awards and VMAs.

Their work together didn't end there. One year later, they produced Madge's "Austin Powers" soundtrack song, "Beautiful Stranger," which nabbed a Grammy Award in 2000. In the years since, she worked with Orbit on several unreleased tracks.

So, when it came to their latest collaboration, words weren't needed. "With William, I didn't really have a discussion," she told MTV News at the New York premiere of "W.E." "We've worked on stuff for so many years that we kind of finish each other's sentences. He knows my taste and what I like."

With "Masterpiece" serving as a tease, the singer later added, "Magic happens when we get into a recording studio together."

As fans prep for the release of her studio album, they can look forward to her halftime Super Bowl performance and her video for the Martin Solveig-produced "Gimme All Your Luvin" (which also features Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.).

Such a great video. It's nice for people to see glimpses of Madonna in the studio because I don't think many people realize just how hands on Madonna is with everything she does. She's a true artist and one of the last greats now that our beloved MJ is gone (but never forgotten). I'm so incredibly eager to listen to the new album and of course to watch her Superbowl performance. Great times ahead for Madonna fans. 2012 is her year!:clap:

Madonna Calls M.D.N.A. 'Action-Packed'
Queen of Pop tells MTV News most of her upcoming album is more 'high-energy' than award-winning 'Masterpiece.'
By Jocelyn Vena

Madonna has teased fans not only inadvertently with a leaked demo of her first single for "Gimme All Your Luvin," but also with "Masterpiece" (which also appears on the soundtrack for her film, "W.E."). So far it seems that the two very different tracks show the two very different sides that the Queen of Pop is pursuing on her next studio release, M.D.N.A.

While "Gimme" plays up Madge's playful, upbeat persona, "Masterpiece," as she explained to MTV News, is a different story. " 'Masterpiece' is one of the few kind of more down-tempo songs, more reflective," she told MTV News at the New York City premiere of "W.E."

"I think the majority of the record is more action-packed," she teased. "More high-energy." It seems, then, that what fans have heard of "Gimme" is more of what they will hear on the album.

The album will reportedly get a March release date. It features production from Martin Solveig on its lead single, which gets some presumably sassy assists from two fierce female MCs, Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. Both ladies will reportedly take the stage with the pop icon to perform the track at the Super Bowl halftime show.

Madonna also worked with longtime collaborator and Ray Of Light producer William Orbit, who produced the Golden Globe-winning "Masterpiece." "We've worked on stuff for so many years that we kind of finish each other's sentences. He knows my taste and what I like," she explained at the premiere. "Magic happens when we get into a recording studio together."

At the Globes, Madonna recalled how "Masterpiece" came together. "[My manager Guy Oseary] harangued me for the entire time I was filming and editing my movie to write a song," she said during her acceptance speech for Best Original Song. "And I said, 'Please, Guy, I'm trying to focus on being a director and I want people to pay attention to the film and I don't have time.' So then I finished the film and I started making my record and somehow magically and miraculously the song emerged, 'Masterpiece,' so thank you, Guy Oseary, for being so irritating."

I like the cover of Madonna's new single also. I personally think this album is one of the most anticipated albums of Madonna's career.

I think all the young pop starlet wannabes running around in M's 4 year absence created quite the longing. Also, it doesn't hurt that Madonna is no longer with the horrid Warner who didn't know how to do promotion. Interscope (Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, etc) is already doing an amazing job - American Idol, the Superbowl... 2012 is going to rock!

Exciting times. Love the new cover!

Hope the single/album are as good as Hard Candy. I may be in the minority but i adore that album.

Looking forward to Superbowl, pity she's not performing at Idol but still a great platform for new video.

Madonna & Michael Jackson - pretty much the only two artists to ever matter.
