CMoody Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I know this was posted in the LAV Anniversary thread, but this fantastic article really needs its own post. http://www.vh1.com/music/tuner/2014-11-12/madonna-like-a-virgin-30th-anniversary/
karbatal Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I guess they talk about US millenials when they have to explain that Madonna is relevant.
CMoody Posted November 12, 2014 Author Posted November 12, 2014 I guess they talk about US millenials when they have to explain that Madonna is relevant. It's true. US kids dish out the most ignorance and disrespect regarding Madonna. This article is dead on....and some of the points are relevant to all generations of critics.
elijah Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Everything is so on point. I hope the next album is an amazing success ala ROL. That would shut up a lot of people like it happened round ROL.
5iVe Elements Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 This should be posted everywhere on the Internet!!
Kurt420 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 YES!! Im so sick of the "Madonna is too old to be doing...." brigade. Of all the things she's been criticized for in her career, "getting old" is the most ridiculous.
LCD Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 This should be posted everywhere on the Internet!! Amen. It's perfect!
Hunter Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Wonderful article. I'm posting this on my Facebook and Twitter. My friends need to be educated!
MerGirl Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 This is great, but as usual they fucked up one thing: Madge took a prominent songwriting role with 1986′s True Blue and has continued to wow us with her confessional lyrics and addictive choruses. Since 1989′s Like a Prayer, she’s co-written every song on her studio albums (except “Fever” and “Bedtime Story”). In an age of hit-makers like Max Martin and Dr. Luke, that’s an incredible feat. Madonna wrote the majority of the songs on her debut alone, and she has been a co-writer on all of her albums.
Mensch Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 This is great, but as usual they fucked up one thing: Madonna wrote the majority of the songs on her debut alone, and she has been a co-writer on all of her albums. thats what i thought but all in all, great article! even with the IDEA that she began writing the songs from True Blue and on, that's still pretty amazing and the biggest chunks of her career are from her co-writing credits. that still shows all these morons more than they are willing to believe.

Yeah, I like the piece overall and that they even acknowledged her song writing, but no gold star! lol
spotlight Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 that performance of "sooner or later" at the grammy's in the vh1 article, is most probably one of her best live vocal performance in her thirty two year long career. I was truly blown away by it. wow, she is definitely a vocal powerhouse right up there with Celine Dion & Mariah Carey but with so much more.....she's truly an amazingly gifted vocalist. we should start a campaign to get Madonna to perform that exact same rendition of SOL on her upcoming tour..... your thoughts mNationers???

nick00 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 I really enjoyed reading this! It also does feel a little sad so many of the millennials completely overlook or disregard M & her fascinating legacy in music & culture. M was influential & controversial without needing to tweet endlessly or having a god forbid public meltdown.
BrokenButterfly Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 VH1? Haven't they been stanning for Mariah lately?
Guest CzarnaWisnia Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 I guess "millenials" are people born since 2000? Why get panties in a knot over teenagers not respecting pop singers from previous generations? That's what teenagers do. But yes, pointing out M's achievements is always good news.
CallMeRV Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 nice written article and very informative. This serves right to those who contradict and bash M & all her achievements.
CallMeRV Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 and I love all the shades M throws in their Madonna Dearest parody!
vocalism Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 I wish this had been better written. And I believe M is important to society and culture for more reasons than just the ones they stated. But nice that this exists I guess.
Mr Ciccone Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 A fantastic read! Shared on my Facebook...
tasteinmen Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 I guess "millenials" are people born since 2000? Why get panties in a knot over teenagers not respecting pop singers from previous generations? That's what teenagers do. But yes, pointing out M's achievements is always good news. This term confuses me, because according to my searches on google, millennial's are people born between 1984 and 1996, great article, very true!
