[New Album Rumours & Discussion]

No kidding i think a duet Madonna / Lil' Kim would be hot.

I'm still often jammin to "How many Licks" or "Kimnotize".

I don't think Madonna should work with her. Have you heard her lately? Terrible! Her new songs are like one T-Pain parody after another. But I do love her "In The Air Tonite"!

[MADONNA opens HARD CANDY GYM in TORONTO.]

Don't everyone jump down my throat, but does anyone else think she looks like Xtina here? Pretty! But total Christina vibe.

[Madonna songs/albums that have/haven't aged well]

Erotica as a whole is the only one to me that seems too "stuck in it's time". I love it but even her older albums sound more "fresh" in my opinion.

[Madonna on INSTAGRAM Part III]

[Falling Free: Perfection]

I love how it was revealed that she was sick while recording this, because I absolutely adore the raw, crystal-clear vocals. To know that she was actually a little sick is interesting to me. Maybe it added a certain feeling to the track that everyone is picking up on. Either way, my favorite from MDNA.

[Pussy Riot about M]

Who cares? I wasn't interested in these bitches even when Madonna was pretending to be. Next.

[Hatred of Madonna ... Or not?]

After the Grammys people were talking about the intensity of public hatred for Madonna, its general tone of hypocrisy, etc. And I agree, but have you ever noticed how easily the tide turns.

Case in point (and I have had many of these experiences over the years), I am invited to dinner at my neighbors' house last night. They are a very liberal hetero couple in their early 50s. Only other guests were myself, and a female cousin of the female hostess who is probably late 40s. The Grammys come up, the male host starts to say something about Madonna as the female cousin makes that low sigh of disapproval. I immediately grab the bull by the horns and exclaim "I thought Madonna was amazing! I love her!" They all give me the look I have seen so many times, where they politely try to comprehend that someone in their life who is sane, smart, professional, is claiming to be a huge fan of ... MADONNA? Then I tell them how she has inspired me since I was 6, pretty much saved my life, etc, and suddenly all three of them are chiming in: "I loves her in Evita!" "I always loved Vogue!" "She really is a legend" Hahahaha. Happens to me often. You know damn well if I had not been there, the talk would have revolved around how awful she is! The funny thing is, in these instances, I always feel like the positive comments reflect what they REALLY think.

I guess I feel like people think they are supposed to hate Madonna, and they just go with the crowd. When a real person in their life bothers to say "no, she's great," it frees them to say what they really feel. Or maybe I am just too positive, and they just don't want to offend me lmao.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm not really the type of person to bring up like my favorite artists/movie stars or anything because I think it's a tad silly. But inventively, these people come up in every day conversations. So when she does come up, I often just chime in a few words about how great I think she is and always has been. It's interesting to watch the conversation become something positive when it was surely headed in the other direction a few moments ago.

Also, I had no idea there was another member from Maine on here! Cool, haha.

[Did Madonna throw MIA Under The Bus?]

MIA makes some great music but I thought the "stunt" was stupid and childish. Like doing it "because I can" and not for any actual reason. Had it been her half-time show, who cares...but when you're pretty much there only under invitation from the actual act I think that is pretty tacky and embarrassing (for both parties).

[Madonna to star in "Valley of the Dolls" remake?]

Oh god, are they really remaking this film? Please no! It's one of my all-time favorites!

And casting that Jennifer Lawrence broad would just be the nail in the coffin...

[Madonna performing with Miley Cyrus at MTV Unplugged!]

I loved it! M looked and sounded great, as did Miley. The way they put the songs together was pretty clever, too.

Had a smile on my face the entire time.

[Rose McGowan and Dee Dee from Dum Dum Girls talks about Madonna]

Madonna fan or not, I will never not love Rose McGowan! That woman is beyond fabulous.

It was so cute when the MDNA tour was in LA she was there tweeting pics all night long, total fangirl.

[Madonna performing with Miley Cyrus at MTV Unplugged!]

I think it's gonna be cute! Madonna looks like she's having fun in the pictures and it will be an interesting mix of the two songs.

I'm not Miley's biggest fan either but I can't imagine how some of you can "hate" her, lol? This looks like a fun little collaboration.

[What's this shit on twitter about M keeping dolphins in her new Dubai Apartment?]

Wow, I am so relieved to find this is just a rumor. Jokes aside, the ways in which captive dolphins come into captivity is absolutely terrifying and sickening. Some places even consider dolphins and other cetaceans "non human persons" because of their intelligence and self-awareness. Keeping them in a tank like that blows my mind.

Part of me knew she wouldn't do that. Not because of the animals, but because it is so damn tacky.

[Is Music (the album) underrated?]

I think it's underrated by the public but a little overrated among fans.

[Like a Hilton]

I'm in love. I saw SMG's "Madonna" costume too, but Paris did it much better.

[Let's celebrate the DANCING QUEEN!]

Blocked in my country (the USA) any easy way around this? lol

[What's Next??]

I would love a new album but I think it's far too early. Maybe if she finishes it up by this time next year and releases it in 2015. I don't want to wait that long but 2012 was a really great year for her, it was "all about Madonna" and I don't think she should ruin that by popping up so quickly once again. I think every pop-star only has a short time where that is possible (Mariah in the early 90's, Britney in the 00's, Rihanna in the past 7 years or so etc.) but after that they should be careful not to over-expose themselves. However, hers seems to have lasted longer than all the others.

["if this is considered a CAREER slump....may it last FOREVAHHHH"]

She is something else. There really is no other past, present or future with her perfect mix of charisma, attitude, smarts and personality.

It's a shame that people won't appreciate this until she is gone and it is too late.

[NME: 500 Greatest Albums of All Time]

These lists are useless and random and I am not saying that because Madonna is usually criminally underrated. These pretentious magazines always act as if rock music is somehow superior to electronic music which is why you would never see a groundbreaking Björk album like Homogenic near the top but instead they include 4 Beatles albums in the top 10. We get it, they were influental and did some pretty good pop music but come on...

[Best Like a Prayer?]

I really liked the new take on the song for the Sticky and Sweet version. The MDNA tour version is the worst. She did nothing new with it and the audience sang most of it. I enjoyed it when I was at the actual show, but it's the most pointless and worst sounding track on the tour album/soundtrack.
