Guest groovyguy Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 http://www.impre.com/la-gente-dice/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474978912395 Is Madonna Really Washed Up or a Has-been? The NFL's choice to pick up the Queen of Pop for the Super Bowl halftime show has already stirring controversy. Piers Morgan isn't the only one who disagrees with this choice, and he even takes the time to tweet about it. The bitter TV host is apparently still mad at the popstar for some things that happened back in the 90s. Like Morgan himself who's still stuck in the past, many people would love to see Madonna with no career, no success at all and maybe doing drugs or getting into trouble every three months. Yes, they are even calling her a "has-been"! Is she really a washed-up singer? The legendary pop icon was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008, and one of her latest singles -'4 Minutes' ft. Justin Timberlake- broke an all-time record in USA, placing her as the act with most top ten hits ever. According to Billboard, Madonna is the most important solo act in history, second only to The Beatles. This is just the tip of the iceberg: Madonna is the pop star by whom any other new singers is measured by. Madonna - Amsterdam ArenA 2008 - 19The Super Bowl halftime show has featured in the past some of the biggest names in the industry: Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones and Janet Jackson, just to name a few. So it's a logical decision to pick up the biggest name in the female pop scene for 2012. Maybe Madonna laughs every time she reads those headlines; maybe it's also time to remember that her name appears in the 2011 Guinness Book of Records as the most successful and highest selling female recording artist ever. Pretty good for a "has-been", isn't it? Don't give her a hard time: she must be getting ready and working 24/7 to deliver a unique performance. She is one of the greatest entertainers ever, with or without controversy. Could those critics stop all that jealousy and just dance along to "Holiday", "Like a Virgin", "Hung Up" or "Vogue"? Maybe giving her some credit for being a smart woman in control of her life and career would be enough. But... hey! Who cares about what they might think or not anyway?

Supernatural Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 who do they want for the super bowl, Justin Bieber? Selena Gomez? Kesha? The Superbowl crowd is most likely fans of acts that wish they had a hit as recent as 2008 or even 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raider of the lost Ark Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 All those critics are just stupid. They don't get her. They want her to stop? Well, they'd better start kissing her ass. Otherwise she never will. It's too obvious that this woman has used all the negativity towards her to become better and bigger. The same goes for those who criticize W./E., fair or unfair. All of this stimulates her to strive for even bigger things. Unfortunately the whole discussion shows once again that it's indeed easier to criticize than too praise. Too bad.

loomer Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 What a bag of shit, who cares if she's not relevant.. or for the youth or sports markets. Still the most famous woman in the world and regardless of an inevitable drop off in sales, still far from a hasbeen as that article said. At this stage she should be looked at as The Stones or something, nobody cared if they kept going, hell they expect it! Anyway, I haven't looked much at this but DEAD @ Ingrid's twat. At least Madonna has one loyal(!) long standing friend she can rely on. And as for her performance, two words: Miss Ross. The original and best. She needs to exit in style on a helicopter. Miss Ross shows them how it's done. Kylie and Cherilyn wish. And god, if they had that not that long ago why not Vadge? Miss Ross wasn't any younger. And they also had those pathetic fossils Arseosmith didn't they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt420 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 THIS. and that article never went in to details of why Piers Morgan is bitter with M. Supposedly he's bitter because she (or Liz R.) firmly denied that Madonna was pregnant with Lourdes and then the next day she gave the scoop to someone else (Liz S. I'm assuming). So 15 years later, Lola is about to be old enough to drive a car and is basically a couple years away from being an adult and this asshole is STILL holding a grudge about it.

Guest Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Personally i don't think she should go for Hung Up for this particular occassion, 4 Minutes would be a better option. Its more aggressive and would sit better with the SB audience than the discotech that is Hung Up. Also 4 Minutes being a bigger hit in the US as well and her most recent memorable hit. I'm torn between either ROL or LAP; ROL i guess would also be a better choice but LAP is a well favoured track compared to ROL and a classic not that ROL isn't but for the US so thats probably why i went for LAP for my speculation. Music mashed with Holiday i reckon would serve as an awesome closer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrikeItUp Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 But she 'sings' 4 Minutes horribly. Why bother showcasing the worst of your vocal abilities with a song that doesn't work live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loomer Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I really could do without Music. I know it was a bigger hit in America of the recent shit, but Hung Up should be her new signature tune as far as I'm concerned. Had that not been caught in flux at the start of iTunes, it may well have been her 13th US #1. That whore RiRi is like the Queen of Dance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolidayGuy Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 loom, "Hung Up" hit No. 1 on Hot Digital Songs (for two weeks). Back when Billboard added digital sales to the mix in early 2005, the sales divider for the charts was 5 (to compensate for sales not being HUGE at that time); when digital sales really took off, Billboard put the divider back at 10. So, its overall position wouldn't really have been affected had overall digital sales volume been higher. I can't believe she would do "Get Together"- or even "Hung Up." "Music" is just the one that "makes the people come together." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
