LOL feminist? Now that's one thing no one who knows me would ever call me! This is a first!

Let's stop playing games. I believe that Madonna is marginally talented. Yet she puts on a fabulous show, and yes, I repeat-is more talented than a lot of those young female wannabes I see on tv. Her charisma is a large part of what made her career.

I've been hearing the same insipid gripes about Madonna for the last 20 years. She's old news. Her career is over. She can't sing. She can't act. She's all shock, no talent. Blah... Blah... Blah... Well, guess what? SHE'S STILL HERE! And going strong, thank you very much. And not only is she still here, but as jerby has already pointed out, she's still here with the top selling concert of the year (perhaps the top-selling concert tour of all-time by a female performer), a multi-platinum album, and a net worth of more than half a billion dollars! She's accomplished more in the last year than most of you arm-chair critics will accomplish in your entire lives. So there!

As for NBC... forget it. Who wants to watch an edited version of the concert with commercial interruptions anyway? Especially when it'll, no doubt, be released on DVD a week or two later. I've waited this long to see it. I'll wait a little longer.

It's at least 22 years and she's still here.

I remember Borderline like it was yesterday! Old people like us love her!

I remember when her brother was dancing in the background on "Lucky Star" LOL!

How about Warren Beatty in that movie - such an ego!

Wasn't he something?

And how about the finger gag when Kevin Costner left the room. He had THAT coming!

I don't really care one way or another for Madonna, and this story doesn't surprise me or anything, but I think people need to get over it. No one should care if "like OMFG she's on the cross and Jesus isn't!!!" It's just... dumb.

"How about Warren Beatty in that movie - such an ego"

Truth or Dare? Beatty sat there in the corner while Madonna had her throat examined and complained about HER ego!

He is so vain he probably thought that movie was about him.

Jane, I haven't known any woman born after my mother's generation who didn't proudly call herself a feminist.

Maybe I'm in your mother's generation! Just kidding, but there's always a first.

I think Madonna might be sad that you don't consider yourself a feminist. And of course, you could maybe find out if her husband still let her talk to her gay brother.

Haha, thanks for the laugh, RobbO. It woke me up! My eyes are closing -not because I'm tired-the lids are sagging from age!

Why yes, she IS sad that I'm not a feminist. And yes, Guy lets her talk to her gay brother.

Not according to Rupert Everett. But whatever. Life is never easy for a woman on a cross.

Yeah, you do.

Who knows, I made that up. You seem to be much more up on your Madonna info than I am.

"Who knows, I made that up."

Good to know.

Interesting thing about showing Madonna in closeup during the song so as not to show the offending cross, the crown of thorns will be even more visible.
