Guest Pud Whacker Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Riverwide's comments "What makes it harder to deal with, is that for well over 20 years, practically everything she did was so effortlessly fantastic. Last night was neither effortless or fantastic. Oh how I wish she had just retired after Confessions. I never for a second thought things would ever get this bad. Yikes". " Also, and I'm genuinely not just being a hater here, but at this point she looks like she's in her late 60s. I can't believe the woman is still only 55. She looks at LEAST a decade older. She looks like something that was dug up last night". This is the person that thinks Lady Gaga is fantastic? Well, all I can say is Madonna is 55 and if it were any other music legend with 30 years of extreme success under their belt, I'm sure he would applaud it. I thought it was magnificent how everyone in the audience was singing Open Your Heart. That was beautiful. I thought Madonna looked and sounded fantastic. Loved her harmonizing with Mary Lambert No.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIRTY PIG Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I thought Madonnas (and Beyonces) performance was really great, the rest not so much. I am yet to see Daft Punks tho. Madonna was just on UK news with last nights performance report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Amazing and beautiful I loved it She would get criticized by people of course, why change 30 years if habit As said it was understated and gorgeous and yet again she gets the headlines. Queen of irrelevance. Fuck the haters. She doesn't give a shit why should you? yeah but it's people who even say "why is madonna there with macklemore! she's out of place! she's doing it for publicity!" that annoys me. she's been a gay advocate for years (one could argue in her own anonymous way before her career started) do people really need simplistic and literal messages such as "i love gays" every day for people to take her seriously? why is she rarely getting praise for it? it's like they ignore all her good and positive messages and cheapen it to miley -ish business. (same with pussy riot, marine le pen, showing her boobs in human nature..) when it's gaga and those other new stars they always say positive things as if they're mother theresa, M does an even better thing and gets shit for it.

Guest Not4Pussies Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I liked the performance. It was touching and I enjoyed her part and OYH. Her outfits were fucking cool. I loved them. I did notice her posture. Is her foot ok or what us going on? She seems to be slouching. And as much as I dislike when people mention the face and nitpick it, she needs to fire gina Brooke because cheeks or not we know her face has looked amazing in the past year. The times it has looked ace gina Brooke wasn't involved. Oh and go check what gwen stefani has uploaded on her Facebook. So obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vocalism Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I can't even deal with the amount of negativity I'm hearing/seeing about last night. I don't even want to read this thread or look at anything media-related right now. Which is so not like me. The worst part is that so much of it is coming from gays, women, and past and present Madonna fans. Now, most of you know that I don't believe criticism means you're not a fan. In fact, I think constructive criticism means you care. There are so many things I didn't like about Madonna's appearance/performance, but the constant ageism/sexism (which began before she even set foot on the red carpet) and the questioning of her intentions is mind-boggling to me.

Guest Not4Pussies Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Yeah all the negativity has been such a downer. It's unbelievable. I also why post what riverwide has said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXL Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Still think that the suits and hats weren't very flattering. People at work are commenting (those who bother to comment, she didn't seem to have stolen the show this time at leas for people surrounding me) just how botoxed she is and how rigid she seems. I liked the performance, but i don't know if it has been a very positive one for her. (dont' throw stones at me for giving my opinion, please). Surprising and totally unpredictable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vocalism Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 ^ I think because it represents a former Madonna fan turned Gaga fan, which aside from him, I really believe is a myth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camacho Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Huffington Post GRAMMYS 2014: Madonna Sings 'Open Your Heart' As 33 Weddings Happen Around Her The Huffington Post UK | Posted: 27/01/2014 06:07 GMT | Updated: 27/01/2014 09:59 GMT Madonna may be controversial at times, but she proved her heart to be in the right place, as she donned a cowboy hat at this year's Grammy Awards, to sing her hit 'Open Your Heart' gospel-style as the soundtrack to 33 weddings, live in the arena. Madonna took to the stage alongside Macklemore and Ryan Lewis at the 56th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday (Jan. 26). The trio also performed 'Same Love' with Mary Lambert, who's featured on the track. Queen Latifah introduced the performance and officiated the mini-weddings - all 33 of them, which took place live in the aisles below. Madonna announced last weekend that she would join an act onstage, but it wasn't until one day before the telecast that we knew the capacity in which she'd appear. She joined the performance two-thirds of the way in, wearing a sleek white pantsuit. The 33 couples involved represented all demographics: gay, straight, interracial and spanning a variety of ages. Lewis' sister was reportedly among the couples, marrying her boyfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't most of the negativity online though at various forums which are known for being bitchy about every artist like that awful popjustice forum? I saw some reviews of it in regular newspapers and they were all very positive, including the NY Post and the Daily News which are usually negative. It's the nature of the Internet for people to say horrible things about artists so even though I don't like it, I try not to take those too seriously because those people have no credibility, they aren't real journalists or music critics.

jonski43 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Her red carpet outfit also reminded me of Night of the Hunter I was going to post the same thing! It's just been rereleased so I wonder if that influenced her? I wasn't a huge fan of the black trousers and hat but what the heck, it doesn't make me a hater. I checked twitter too. I was surprised at the lack of mentions of the whole wedding piece and performance, The few mentions were positive but it didn't really didn't dominate the boards. There were more comments about Taylor Whiffs reaction to not winning best album. Ps who was the guy with the goatee walking around on stage not doing much? Lewis?

Guest Rachelle of London Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Had the biggest argument with a lesbian at work today who stated that no one gives a shit about same sex marriage and Madonna is just jumping on bandwagons. And celebs like Madonna make it worst for gays Firstly, as a lesbian I thought she'd know better and secondly, what a twat! Then she started saying m only took David to prove that she still loves him after calling him the n word! I had to go and sit in a separate office by myself! Haha! No but seriously I was so angry!

Really? I don't see much negativity going on at all... I didn't really like it because well she did a 2 seconds holding a cane, but that was it, i wasn't really expecting something big, we knew beforehand that she was there for a quick appereance on someone else performance. It was ok. The media thinks it was ok too. There isnt much negativity as you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK its been pretty great. (OK Lorraine Kelly and a woman on loose women) But on loose women they decide which sides they are taking while they are getting their hair done.

Sloane Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Love this photo. Such a great profile. M has the best, most interesting profile in the business. True Blue cover proved that. I guess M wasn't in a good mood because the original outfit didn't work on rehearsal, maybe she decided to change it in the last minute and got pissed Oh yeah, they just had a tailor-made suit that cost more than yours and mine's month salary put together lol.
