elijah Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 "I've gotten so many DMs, PMs and Emails asking me how I feel about Madonna so blatantly using the title of my memoir REBEL HEART from 2001 as the title of her new album. This should not come as a surprise to anyone. She's been doing this since the inception of her career~ as far back as 1984 appearing on the MTV video awards dressed as a bride- Debbie Harry, Marianne Faithfull, etc..., did it first and with more originality and flair. I was in the audience that night in '84 and it was clear she was going to be a superstar. Not so much because she was "great" or the "best" but because she was not afraid to roll around and make everyone talk. And boy oh boy, did everyone talk about that performance. She's always been good at taking an idea, a concept that someone else did first and taking it, making it mainstream. That in itself is an art per se so if that's how we measure "talent" or "success", then she's been hugely successful. My personal Goddess has always been Debbie Harry who truly was/is original and has never, in my opinion, been given enough props from Madonna. That said, Debbie does what I do when someone steals or "borrows" an idea. Just come up with a new fresh one. My REBEL HEART is now my REBEL SOUL. Moving past the physical to the metaphysical~ Madonna is welcome to Rebel Heart- I'm moving on to SOUL... and I'm reinventing myself yet again here in my beloved Nashville. Here's some of the lyrics to one of M's leaked songs- it's called "Two Steps Behind Me"~ ironic that she feels stolen from... pot calling kettle black? Perhaps even projecting some?"You're a copycat, Where is my royalty? You're a pretty girl, I'll give you that. But stealing my recipe, it's an ugly look."The lyrics continue:"Did you study me hard enough? You're never gonna be, you're just a wannabe me. Like a sister all messed-up, who's gonna help you out? In your fantasy, you can try it all. But you can't be me. You can walk the walk, even talk the talk. But you'll always be two steps behind me."Lord knows who she's talking about- some say Lady Gaga... personally I don't see the comparison. Gaga is so over the top talented that I get chills just hearing her sing. Not just anyone could do an album of duets with Tony Bennett and do it with such class and ease. So, back to the issue at hand. I've been told that it's a compliment to be stolen from by Madge... that she only steals from the best- the true innovators. I remember the first time I met her at Danceteria after a show with my band The B-Sides. I've told this story before- she was there dancing and she asked me where I got my "lace gloves and all the lace accessories"... I directed her to my spot on 14th Street. Got to hand it to her- she took all the downtown street style that gals like Debbie, Tish (Patrice Tish Bellomo)& Snookie, Cyrinda Foxe, etc..., invented and turned it into something commercial and before we could bat an eyelash, she was creating a style revolution. She made it her own and much like "grunge" it was soon available at Macy's and JC Penny. That's the beauty of style and fashion... it truly is recyclable and done over and over again. I have ZERO issue w/ Madonna also using this title 14 yrs. later. I'm not a hater. I find it all very fascinating. Maybe this is where Madonna got it??http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0249312/ … …She perhaps sees herself as an Irish Nationalist?You never know, babies! HAPPY NEW YEAR, angels." Bebe Buell is a singer & actress Liv Tyler's mother with Aerosmith vocalist Steven Tyler. In 2001, she wrote an autobiography (with Victor Bockris) titled Rebel Heart: An American Rock and Roll Journey. The book was a New York Times bestseller. https://www.facebook...3780181970927:0 Not sure if link to post works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSD Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Because it's so stunningly out-there and original. Practically a Fiona Apple album title. No chance Madonna thought of it on her own. 2001 you say? #Justice4TheCorrsIn2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerGirl Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Lmao Bebe is giving herself too much credit. I doubt Madonna knows about her book, and Rebel Heart isn't exactly a phrase Bebe invented or is known for. I didn't even know Bebe's book was titled Rebel Heart. Hunny, you're known because you were a groupie. I doubt Madonna took any ideas from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrolla Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks LSD, I knew I had seen the Rebel Heart title in a song before but I forgot where. I thought I heard once that you cannot copyright a title, anyway. I can see claiming something as original if you designed and made it yourself. Telling Madonna where they bought something from a store? Big Fucking Deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jan Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I think this is fake. On her twitter, she actually has called herself a fan and said she has no issue with Madonna using the title. All of the references to Madonna copying and over the top praise of Gaga seems fishy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said in her tweets that she had no problem with Madonna using the title and said she is a fan not a hater. The only thing in that long winded article posted that can actually be seen by her is her tweet about Madonan being an Irish Republican and quoting the Rebel heart movie. That was obviously a joke and having a go at people saying Madonna copied her book. She was being ironic and meaning that Madonna is not copying anyone. I think this is a hack job done by little monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSD Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Dylan Serna-Gutierrez The emails and DM's you're getting are people who are looking to instigate a rise out of you and it's mostly those flamebaiting little Monsters who are still so butthurt about the whole EY/BTW comparisons. They are really going out of their way looking for anything to bring her down. Bebe Buell Hi Dylan Serna-Gutierrez~ believe it or not, the correspondences I'm getting about Madonna using Rebel Heart are not dogging her and they are certainly not talking about any comparisons. Most of the notes are just letting me know they read my book, etc... Not a whole lot of Gaga references.
