That Independent article is typically one-sided when it comes to Madonna - I can't stand that
-
I bet she's not happy right now, having had her show been cut like that
-
So sorry for the fans
That curfew rule is really silly imo -

Never noticed this before either and yes I believe you might be right, it makes sense with the story.

Saw this earlier on Facebook

They were probably born when Never Been Kissed was released - this small array of teens doesn't seem to be that into music let alone films that came out the year they were born, probably.
-
At their age I knew about music from past decades without useful tools such as the world wide web, social media, smartphone apps (Shazam to casually mention just one...) etc which could have helped me a great deal at the time, in fact I wish I had such things when I was a teenager.
Yes I agree, overall these kids seem lazy, not that much into music and indeed this is probably staged. Hooray for us with music knowledge
and shame on anyone who doesn't know LIKE A PRAYER for crying out loud

"that toad joni"

Great list. She should be higher but she is among great company. I feel artists who weren't around for a long time should not be so high on these lists. I think you need to have proven yourself for many years to be placed in this rarified company. I am looking at you Amy W, Adele, Goober (what a joke). There is something to say for longevity and creating great work over decades. That is so rare and extremely difficult to achieve. Dying young, before you had the chance to burn out, really elevates many people.
I agree let's see Adele or the artists who died young if they will/would be making great music even 2 decades later.
Longevity is the key.
Okay. How many artists have been inspired by Janis Joplin over the last 40+ years since her death at the age of 27?

I was touched for the very first time by Madonna through this evergreen classic! Pure joy, the definition of pop dance music at its best, carefree, positive energy, never getting tired of it since the first moment I heard it on the radio!!Love it and always will love this stroke of genius

It pisses me off so much that some heterosexual men, not all but some, can't handle a powerful woman. Their first reaction is to objectify her or pass her off. It's because they are intimidated and don't understand their own sexuality. When I get into arguments about Madonna, it's usually with patriarchal type men who think women should be pregnant and in the kitchen. Closed minded and not willing to be sexually submissive.
I do, however, get into a lot of great conversations with men about how much they like Madonna and what she stands for.
I usually get into arguments about Madonna with close-minded women in their 20s who write her off has an old hag who should've retired 20 years ago. I think some women are worst than some straight men when it comes to ageist remarks against Madonna. As you cannot reason with that normally I tell them to keep their Rihanna, Britney, Beyonce, Minaj, Perry and have a wonderful short shallow life together.

Well said. I think Madonna taught a female generation to empower themselves and use sex as a tool. Credit has to be given to the women who came before her as well. Janis Joplin used sex in her work and lyrics and said, "This is who I am. I can sing about fucking any man I want, and I'm in control of my own life". Debbie Harry as well. She was a tough New York City girl who was the only female in her band. She used it to her advantage. She was an original punk girl who openly used sex as symbol of strength.
I take this subject very seriously and learned from Janis, Debbie and Madonna. I pride myself on what I learned from them from the age of ten. My mother also played a huge role in attitude about sex. I remember asking her at very early age what the song "Get It While You Can" was about. She didn't lie or hold back her explanation. She told me, before I subject myself make sure you given it very serious thought and always take control of every situation in your life. She is my mother and also very protective, but she isn't stupid either. She knew I had an extremely strong sexual energy and she made sure I knew how to use it. I had many talks with her and my aunt about it. Use it wisely and show people what you're made of. Femininity is power. Sex is power. And, I personally, know what I'm doing!
My all time favorite Janis' song and well done to you too! Couldn't agree more!!

I've been working this week on an article about sexism and its effects on toys for little kids. It's incredible that after so many decades we still have just babies and make up and fluffy things for girls and all action and superhero, science and construction blocks are for boys. At least, in tv ads. And to be fair, tv still has a big impact on our minds.
Then i was playing Kylie's Christmas album and thought that this fluffy girl, princessy and girlie is the epytome of that message that marketing is spreading for decades: the giggly, delicate, a bit naive girl, with little glimpses of being a whore.
And then i remembered Madonna. In the Rolling Stone interview from 1987, she says that she stands for all things that women can't do. She was so powerful and strong and sexual, and sensual and femenine at the same time... She was never the stupid giggling girlie absurd girl. She was master of her own body and used sex whenever she pleased with whoever she pleased.
Compare Madonna to those princesses from the 90s and 00s and the megawhores from nowadays. Just look at Rihanna, at Nikki with that monster ass. And Ariana Grande, that pedo dream. Only Beyonce (and i don't like her much) shows some power (in a bit reductive way, but at least she portraits herself in comand).
Thank God we had Madonna. Imagine a world without her?
Very well put!
:clap: :clap: :clap:A world without Madonna?
Oh no, it would be like a world without oxygen... -
I was going to put this in the "Celebrities who love Madonna" thread but thought Jackie deserved her own thread. She had been a Madonna fan for years and has defended her and loved her for decades.
Jackie Collins was a fantastic person. I always loved her interviews. She was intelligent, professional with a great sense of humour that always stood out. I know from my cousin who met her that she was just the same in person and appreciated and joked with her fans. The way she coped with her cancer and how she tried to spare her family from the heart-ache of them knowing was incredible and showed what a thoughtful, strong and caring women she was.
Today, I was going through my "Hello" magazines that I picked up from the newsagent and there was an interview with Jackie Collins. It was in a September issue and would have been printed just after her death. Jackie had this to say about Madonna Copying paragraphs below
"Lucky's like James Bond - she's ageless, she's strong, she's all woman" At 77, is Jackie reluctant to think about her own age?
" I think too much emphasis is put on how old woman are" she says. " Madonna, for instance, looks incredible and is powerful and amazing and all they ever talk about is that she's 50-something. What is she supposed to be? Dead ? There is a fabulous quote 'Age is a question of mind over matter - if you don't mind, it doesn't matter. "

RIP Jackie. Love that she was supportive of M. Will miss those tweets.
Me too.

Is Madonna alright? Read earlier on that she did hit her head under the stage and couldn't concentrate on the chords for WTG so she did Open Your Heart, I am worried about her
