Mmmmm Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 It's true, I might be a bit over sensitive but it's how I feel and how I see things Well thank god you wasn't in the SEX/Erotica era, hey even Like a prayer video controversy, you would have buried yourself!

sillybilly Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I love her Instagram, she's the only celebrity I follow, but I just wish she was a bit more careful with what she posts How could she post this is beyond me, she looks amazing but the other pic is disturbing! but i guess that s her point. in pop nowadays everything is so unbelievable faceless. i think people have to be disturbed. if she would had only posted the untouched image of mlk to make people !!!remember!!! him, there wouldn´t have been any notable reactions. and now there s a thing going on.

Moka Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 and that should be the essence of art. make people think! Yes yes ! Today's pop world is boring, all the current "stars" play the slutty/silly card and there's nothing else. Songs about booty, sex and partying. I'm glad Madonna is back with strong statements. This era is not officially started and it's already amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I wish Madonna would hire me. I would make sure her damn responses didn't have typos or grammatical errors. That's the only thing that pisses me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moka Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I hope this media mess won't affect the album. Of course it will! When was the last time an album cover received that much media coverage? Medias have been talking about M's new album non-stop since the end of November... Some fans can't understand that it's amazing. This era begins in the most perfect way!

5iVe Elements Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 People who put negative comments are shit who have nothing better to do. The best way to treat them is to ignore them. And I love M's misspellings. I think she's poking fun at the Internet lingo or whatever you call it. #unapolagetickbitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I don't find her posts one iota more embarrassing than the drivel posted by most folks from my real life lol. Plus she's done a million times more for the world than any of them so she's good. I think it would be amazing if some prominent gay journalist started saying that people are trying to deny gay culture by diminishing Madonna's accomplishments with this controversy. Why the hell can't she be compared to revolutionaries? She saved my life and thousands of other people's I'm sure. Give the cultural appropriation people a taste of their own medicine.

boy skeffington Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I love the sex controversies though, those must have been the best ever! You are insane. And you wouldn't have been a fan of Sex era Madonna - you could NOT have taken the heat. Everything she does is actually about love and acceptance.

Fighting Spirit Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Yes, the media's always after her, but nowadays everyone is just too damn 'sensitive' (to the most banal things, because no1curr about the REAL issues). To put things into perspective: If Nothing Really Matters the video and the Grammy performance happened today, there would be a massive yadda yadda about 'cultural appropriation' everywhere, while it didn't happen back in 1999. I'm just ashamed to be a part of this generation because I don't think there were that many people so full of shit decades ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasnt there some form of backlash when she performed TAB at the AMAs in that Chinese style dress? I swear Ive read that on here.

Guest Rachelle of London Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 ugh the cultural appropriation social justice warriors are the worst racists around I agree. Cant stand these people that speak on behalf of a whole ethnic group. Its patronising and downright rude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hm I don't understand how people can be so hateful in the comments @ articles about her or any other artist. I personally don't even check the news of these other people, Im just interested in Madonna. Why bother reading articles and commenting and wasting time on people you don't like? (and this is different than the goober topic where most of us are just poking fun at her. and even that.. it's still related to madonna so it's different) - are people really that annoyed and bitter all the time to spit out such nonsense and hateful bullshit? It's weird.. I guess there must be a separate little world of trolls that do that shit all day during working hours or something, to let out some frustration. fuck, when kim kardashian is on the cover of vogue and people were mad, I thought "you go girl show your fake bootie and make some more $ of these fools!" - I just don't care at all. I like the entertainment world for that reason.. it's all a bit crazy and fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Jan Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 They would probably be after Madonna as well for wearing a Spanish dress and singing "La Isla Bonita" if this song was released today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
