[Me and my Monkey]

Are you serious? She’s a vile, unhinged narcissist, abusive to just about everyone who has ever worked with her, backing dancers, choreographers, set designers, friends and family members too. Very far from being a great role model of any kind to anyone. Even her son has little to do with her and chooses to live with his dad.

Well, OK. You may be right, I don't know what she's like as an individual on a personal level, you seem to know a lot more about that than me. I'll concede she's probably not top on my list of people I'd want to have a friendly one to one chat with. However, I'm talking about the public personality, the "celebrity". She's succeeded in a male dominated, misogynistic industry, on her own terms, using and even celebrating her sexuality on her own terms, choosing the direction of her career, changing and adapting, and staying in complete control. Those are the qualities that I think make her a great female role model. A strong woman who has done things her way.

I gather that Madge isn't growing old well if she now looks like Pete Burns (a post above).

Here is how to do it properly.

And yet, if she were to die tomorrow, the few people who are being mean would be crawling out of the woodwork in the RIP thread with platitudes and memorials of how gifted she was.

Yes, it's "cool" to pretend not to like Madonna - but I think it's clear we are all in agreement that she is one of the - if not the - greatest performer of all time.

Thanks - not seen that before and it's brought tears to my eyes.

Me neither and me too.

I just laughed so hard I blew my left testicle out my backside.

It may be 'cool' to pretend, but what if you can't stand that tone-deaf, caterwauling, white noise-polluting, ear-rupturing harridan for real?

It's often sad when someone well-known dies, but I don't think 'we are all in agreement' with you. When it comes to performers, there's the dog that said 'sausages' on That's Life, for one.

It's much cooler to not like Coldplay though

On a serious note I disagree vehemently with your last comment, so am I absolutely NOT in agreement, but it's all about opinions

Mate, I have tried to be judicious so as not to attract the unwanted attentions of THPP who gets aroused when I post too many musical videos in the space of too short a time

I must admit that PJ Harvey somewhat passed me by. She emerged at a time when I took a hiatus from new music.

To save time and avoid luring the fearsome jock from his Preston Park cave, may I list a few more of the female artistes who I'd reach for in preference to the Madonna?

Dusty Springfield
Pauline Murray (Penetration)
Karen Carpenter
Elkie Brooks (when she was in Vinegar Joe)
Jae Matthews (Boy Harsher)
Lesley Woods (Au Pairs)
Ramona Carlier (Mo-dettes)....

Actually.....Madonna was higher up my list than I thought. Definitely top 20.

You cannot accept that people don’t like her. I only post in RIP threads if I liked the person or even knew who they were.

I'll eat everyones hats if she writes her own songs



Another pretty effing sure she did not...

She apparently wrote most of the songs on her first album by herself and has written a lot of her other songs with other artists.
Having a diva credited for writing something and it actually being true are possibly very different things, but here's a link of all songs she's credited for writing/co-writing.

You seem like you may be on the verge of making a "leave Brittany alone-esque" video in defence of Madonna.

I like Madonna


But I also prefer

[Live by the sea]

Madonna is certainly in the top 10 female pop stars of all time . A pop star doesn’t necessarily mean they have the best voice and Madonna certainly doesn’t but she does have star quality a huge career spanning 40 years and counting .

If you are going to judge a well known singer purely on her voice and career then it’s hard to look past Streisand.

Sorry but the Divine Miss M pisses over Madonna both in voice and star quality (but only in the biblical sense)

I'm just trying to picture this and it isn't good.
