I understand she alternates the "No Fear" message with other hot, cool and contemporary slogans that the kids all say today. At one gig "FUBU" was scrawled on her back. She's so down with it.

Sorry Namo, did you want me to put that it was amazing? I have told you a million times before, i may be a fan but i don't have the blinkers on when it comes to stuff i don't like. The tour is fantastic but im not big on this moment at all, or random boob exposing.

I thought she was about to do a mash up with I've Written a Letter to Daddy.

I fear that she caught Lourdes watching a Dresden Dolls video and Madge thought, "I can do that!" But of course, well, you know.

I don't get the constant age references, thats one thing that just pisses me off, it's as daft as American radio not wanting to play songs by artists of a certain age, i mean why does it matter? Is America really that obsessed with youth like everyone says?

The vitriol that some have for this woman really astounds me.

She's 53, yes, we get it. She's not 17, she's not 25 and so what? She likes to wear clothes that she may feel expresses who she is? Good. She is interested in younger men? Good. She wants to frolic around, gyrate and writhe around on the floor like a teenage popTART? Good. What's the big deal?

When I was 17, I imagined myself 30. I hung out with people who were considerably older than myself, took to music/art/literature and aesthetics that did not match with who I was chronologically and wore older clothes... So what? At 24 I discovered my inner cowboy, took to western wear and boots, yee haw! At 30 I found an inner punk I'd never really identified with and clothes, music, friends have changed again--

I think many people spend their lives discovering who they are, what they want to be and how they wish to present themselves to the world, how is this woman any different? I have no doubt if she had found contentment in "letting herself go," gaining weight and dropping the glamorous element of her public persona she'd be heckled for how far she's fallen from grace.

Namo, in the various threads you have weighed in on that I have stumbled upon, you say you were once a supporter of her work or her persona or some combination of both, but now it seems you are not only disinterested in her output but pretty dismissive of what she's creating. I'm curious why. You are obviously under no obligation to answer, but I'm curious. Do you dislike her? Are you disappointed in her? What is it she did (outside of the middle finger flip at the concert) to turn you out of her camp?

Here's the thing. I love Madge. I dont' begrudge her doing whatever the hell she wants at whatever age she wants-she can write on herself, show a boob, diddle herself. Whatever. However, at the end of the day, you're a vocalist and whatever that was, it wasn't singing. I can handle her being off key, flat etc in past shows because she was trying to sing and I liked it. That was far from anything. That was performance art of the lowest common denominator. I'd rather she lip synch.

Oh god dont ask him that, you will get some long winded story that 100 percent does not add up to the amount of venom he now aims at her. I think in truth he asked for an autograph and she ran him down in her car instead, that could be the only reason for so much nastiness towards her. I don't even think Madonna's stalkers talk her about he as much as Namo does lol

Oh, that's a rather pathetic post. You know full well I have detailed my ardent fandom from the first album through Ray of Light. My wariness after the awful Confessions. And now my complete belief that she is churning out crap. I've never been anywhere near her and the last thing I would do is approach her, or dare to look her in the eyes, or ask her for anything. At this point I might pelt her with hydrangeas.

So much of her sub-par product creation would be forgivable if there were any indication she were a kind human being.

And she loves you also

Posted: 7/6/12 at 3:22pm

It's unclear if the woman is capable of love.

WORLD PEACE! This fighting in the Middle East, it needs to stop.

lol oh please, now posts like that are 'pathetic', all people know of Madonna is what she puts out there, nobody has any clue about what she is like away from the media and fans. Yes she likes to play the ice queen and play up for the camera, but i am sure she has much more too her. Is the amount you bitch and say awful things on here about her a representation of who you are?

She plays a part and she plays it well (far better than the roles she plays in her movies)

I post about a lot more than Madonna. But I love that you claim not to have blinkers on yet are willing to believe that Madonna's horrible behavior, documented again and again by multiple sources over decades, is all just an act.

That's right. You're the one who can see most clearly.

WORLD PEACE!

Ok First the World Peace thing, the joke has run it's course, move on. And so she has some bitchy moments or diva moments, big deal, anyone who posts on Broadway World who thinks that is a bad thing and a reason for her to slammed most be living in a bubble. This site is bitch central,and you are twirling your baton at the front of that parade dear.

And i know you post about other things, and i adore all of your other posts.

For what it's worth (and I've been as critical of her as others here recently) I met someone a couple months ago who told me a story (and even backed it up with pictures his friend took) at one of her book signings. He's a huge fan who went to the signing and afterwards waited off to the side just for the very slightest chance he could get a picture with her. As she and her entire posse walked by he said "excuse me, Madonna...?" and she stopped and went over to him. He said he was a huge fan and blah blah and she gave him a hug and went down the escelator.

So she has her moments of being nice. I highly doubt she did it for publicity (or maybe she did) but even still I thought it was really cool of her.

She was very nice every time I hung with her.

Bettyboy, I agree with you. I am a fan obviously, even despite a lot of stuff I dislike about her, but two things about the performance... The arrangement simply doesn't work for me--it was fun when she did the Dietrich version for Girlie Show, but this one just plods (check out in the clip the poor fans desperately trying to sing along). And the crying is beyond ridiculous. Gaga gets away with it, partly because that's what she's always done, partly due to her fanbase--I still find it phony as Hell but it's expected at this point. Madonna just doesn't have the stage or public persona to warrant a moment like that.

Posted: 7/8/12 at 5:47am

She IS very nice.
The Ice queen thing is the persona
There's a lot of sweetness in many moments shared by close friends and people I knew that worked with her at Warner Bros. I always heard stories how she would go to the gym in the morning and show up unnannounced in her track suit and baseball cap and get everyone at the office lunch. Or how she would mess around with people's stationery and leave random notes behind. I just think she's guarded because well,.... She's Madonna.

And her songs and videos tend to have a good sense of humor throughout.

She's a regular fun person socially. It's just that if you work with her, she's a perfectionist and it can be rough. I don't blame her for that.

I want to hang out with her. I might send her a letter and ask if she wants to go see MAGIC MIKE with me next weekend.

Good idea, give it a try.
