    Madonna being snubbed by the Grammies

    in ARCHIVE - Madonna

    Posted

    Skadi- Madonna does get great recognition from many of her peers and critics. She regularly lands songs and albums in the "Best of All Time" lists from a wide range of sources. She was inducted into the Rock Hall her first year of eligibility which is huge and denotes a ton of respect. If there were any doubt about her talent, she would not have been inducted her first year. Those VH1 countdowns of the Greatest of All Time were from her peers voting and she placed very high on all those lists. I think Holidayguy used to post her rankings from acclaimedmusic and I believe she is the #1 ranked female taking into account critical acclaim.

    There has always been a ton of jealousy directed at Madonna from the industry and particularly from the media. I was reading a paps interview where they said they hated Madonna because she has cost them millions of dollars. They lost millions of dollars over Lourdes, Rocco, her wedding, because she put the first pics out or didn't allow pics to begin with. Also, he said she always goes out in the same outfit (her sweatpants) when she is out and about so the pics aren't worth much. He said they, in turn, post unflattering stories and pics of her. The media has deftly crafted an image of her of a woman whose only talent is business and this has become so ingrained in the brains of so many even her fans often fall victim to this lie (she can't sing, dance, write, whatever crap they always say).

    As so many have sadly pointed out, she will never get her due until she dies. Then the world will see what a rare, wonderful, magical creature she was. We will never again see anyone like her or who will come close to her level of "everything-ness" again.

    I agree that she gets a lot of praise, as she should. Maybe I tend to focus on the more negative, but I always had a feeling that other female artists walks through doors that she had to open. And that younger generations don't know how revolutionary she was and still is. Based on the media, I get a feeling that she got where she is because she was smart and strong and became an iron lady of business. How her discipline and hard work beat her talent and how she played the media for attention (being provocative). I just wish she could get recognized for her talent as a writer and entertainer. Not just, she was smart and always managed to find the right people to get ahead etc.

    Sorry, my english is a bit off (not my first language).

    Yes, she used sex. But she was never an object

    Madonna has always been sexy on her own terms and a lot of heterosexual men don't like her for that. She was way ahead of her time, showing that women can be feminine and strong at the same time. She is the first woman that I had seen who had big muscles and still kept her femininity. And by that I don't mean the giggly, delicate flower waiting for a man to come rescue her-feminity. I was so surprised during the 90s when after all this time with Madonna, the next big thing was Britney Spears.

    It's weird because at times it felt like he saw their mother in her. He felt left out of her life. And what really bugged me is that he seemed to not realize that even famous people he hang out with hang out with him because they could not hang out with Madonna herself since it's something she does not do. She does not hang out with celebrities, she has her firends but after reading a lot of biographies on her she's more of a oner and likes to be on her own or with her children now. Chris was a substitute for Madonna for a lot of celebrities and even Madonna friends. The comments on his Facebook is a who's who from Madonna's past. They kept in touch with him (Juliette Honnen, dancers, boyfriends....). But he's also an asshole. He shares some views on the world that i don't see Madonna agreeing with and if at one time she loved his taste, looking at how much it hasn't much evolved i guess she does not anymore. He appears to have become very provincial.

    I was thinking the same, Madonna sort of was a mother figure to him. She became the biggest pop star in the world and I'm sure she casts a big shadow. It must be hard to find your own identity when everyone around you only see you as Madonnas brother. Madonna has also said that people often talk about how stardom changes a you, but not so much about how it changes people around you. I can easily see how he feels like a failure next to her. On one side being Madonnas brother has given him opportunities that most people can only dream of..Traveling the world to mention one. On the other side..knowing you only get jobs and attention because you're Madonnas brother. People being nice to get closer to her.

    It must be hard to deal with those things for Madonna too. Can you imagine all the YES-PEOPLE around her?

    Here’s How Madonna Does a Statement Scarf

    Fake fur

    According to different newspapers and peta, its a £35,000 chinchilla fur coat.

    PETA: Look out, ladies and gentlemen, here comes Madonna. In a £35,000 Fendi chinchilla fur coat. For those of you doing the math, that means Madge needs to have more than 60 furry animals electrocuted just to keep her warm on a Wednesday night.

    Anyone know for sure if its true? Has Madonna ever spoken about the matter?

    I kinda feel a little sorry for him. I think he is very bitter and jealous of Madonna and I assume he feels like shit. Sadly, instead of dealing with his own issues he let those bad feelings get the better of him. Out of curiosity i did read his book, and even thou he states that this is a story about him and his life in the shadow of Madonna, it was very bitter and resentful towards her and I'm sure it hurt her a lot. But I miss the days when they were a team and I hope she will forgive him and that they will become closer in the future..But how can she when he keeps going on and on with the same old..
