    trying to think who has been scrutinized for their age before Madonna... I am sure a lot of women in music and film have but they kind of disappeared altogether because of how bad ageism was.... or they did the roles of ancient hags (Bette Davis was 54 at the time she did What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, that's how 50 was perceived as back then..!)... but then in the 80's Tina Turner reached the height of her fame in her mid 40's and her nickname was The Grandma of Rock'n'roll .... LOL, and she was still a young woman... but in her case, she wasn't attacked for performing in a mini dress, she was just perceived as a grandma and an old lady but she had the respect of the public.

    Agree. She had the respect of the public because she bowed down to the title of grandma and did not dare to imply anything else. Madonna on the other hand, refuses ro play along to society‘s rules. dont ever change M!

    Love also how Ariana breaks through the glass ceiling after Madonna's spoken cameo in the video clip.  Clever video clip in imagery and meaning.  Love how Ariana, Katy, Rihanna, Pink, Cardi B etc - virtually all the female superstars acknowledge what Madonna has done for all female singers that come after her.  It does not matter if we like or dislike their music, they know and get who broke through the glass ceiling before them.  

    :clap:

    Remember how Guy had a mini meltdown on twitter when he realized the album missed the No1? Hopefully that was a wake up call to him and he's going to do the bundle the right way this time. Lol.

    That was self-complacent and lazy of him... thinking that she will be a safe bet to reach number 1. He forgets it takes a lot of strategy to reach the top, not just a household name and good music, but also marketing savvy and most of all hard work

    As a Canadian why is the Eurovision so bad?  

    Think of it as a relict from postwar europe that especially people 50+ like to watch, and of course the gays. It‘s over the top, tacky and dramatic and often cringeworthy. It‘s a platform for emerging artists to gain lots of attention and fifteen minutes of fame. in a way similar to American Idol (or Canadian idol, if that exists).

    Having M perform there could be seen as desperate, although it would guarantee maximum exposure in all of Europe if not the world. It would be good, but in a way well below her league

    Well if she has a single ready she d be smart to sing it for free. She can only dream of such a huge tribune and so many people watching, not to mention most of those people already love her and would check out her new music if the single is great (European gays watch this, there are lots of ppl over 30ty all of which love and remember Madonna: it’s just that her pr team has been shit since 2012 and many don’t even know she has released smth post Celebration). As a whole if the song is great, this could easily propel her to N1. Its a great opportunity which means she won’t do it :(.

     thats a great point there

    i'm pretty sure this Nicki secret is for Madonna album. Interscope will never let her release an album without feautures. It's pretty hard for 30+ years old acts to get attention on Spotify and M is about 60 so prepare for Nicki, Cardi and few more collabs

    Unfortunately this is true. Look at Xtina and her collabs for her new album. Ageist music industry.

  7. we might have been a quiet crowd but she could tell we were having a great time.

    priceless was the moment she had to laugh because fans in the crowd spellt her name wrong with the letters they held up. it cracked her up for a couple of minutes and she called them out. "32 years and you still can't get my name right?" it was hilarious.

  8. I dont speak a word of Swiss

    ahahahahaha, my Girl, in Switzerland they speak German, Italian or Frech :D :D :D

    Curious if she says in Vienna, I cant speak austrian :D :D :D

    I love her so much

    Not quite correct. "Swiss" is actually Swiss German, which comprises a variety of Dialects spoken only in Switzerland. Some of us consider it as a separate language since Germans cannot understand a word we are talking about :smile: :smile:

    And all of you thinking Swiss audiences are lame: You are absolutely correct, Swiss crowds are reserved, shy and more quiet. Just as M said yesterday.

    But I'd rather go to a Madonna concert in Zurich than in the big cities. All of the negative aspects of going to a concert are kept to a minimal here. No pushing or shoving, no bitches giving attitude and generally an exciting atmosphere. Plus I got there at 8 PM and had an awesome view very close to the stage. Unfathomable in New York where you'd have to stand in line for hours to get such a close spot.

    And yes we were blessed. M did the Medley and WTG AND Ghosttown. So if we are a lame crowd, M sure enjoyed us. The model was hot but the whole audience could tell he was as dumb as a brick. All he did was stand there and look stupid while M was trying to have a conversation with him
