You're looking right at me and smoking cigarettes... — Page 4

I used to love her so much. But now when I see her I get the same feeling as when I see someone at the gym with a discman.

She's there already, as the pic proves.

I would say JerseyGirl absolutely nails what I am feeling when I make posts where she sets me up for perfect punchlines, like when she said "like I'm an effing idiot":

I would say Namo is more mildly annoyed by her, but that he takes joy in her ridiculousness.

Both things are true! Madonna's an effing idiot and I take joy in her proving it so publicly again and again.

Namo, that pic reminds me of Lisa Rinna showing off how great her adult diapers are.

I can just see the caption on that picture - "Look, Lourdes! They're super absorbent!"

Sorry, but I see too much animosity towards her on your part to be nothing more than having fun. I think you know that already, Namo.

Oh, I agree ONE MILLION PERCENT with that. I'd even put "American Life" on that list.

OK, but I've never read a post on that level of hatred from you about anything else under the sun! This goes deep!

I get what you're saying, Namo. I won't even attempt to add up the money I've spent on her over the years. And for a while it pissed me off, but honestly I don't care. At the time whatever I spent the money and/or time on made me happy. It doesn't so much anymore so I don't spend the money (plus I don't have an extra $500 to see her from a seat where I'm not just staring at a monitor the whole night) and it doesn't bother me. Maybe this was just a phase in her "evolution" and next year she'll put out an album of showtunes and play Feinstein's. I'll never write her off completely because she meant so much to me for so long but, for the time being at least, I've taken a step back and am just watching this phase of her career from a distance.

Fair enough Namo~

Yes, most people as we age feel a nostalgic connection to the music and artists that mattered so much to us when we were younger and dismiss absolutely everything from the current era as inferior. There is nothing new to this. Sometimes we even hear these new things our favorites release as being much better than they actually are, such is the Pavlovian endorphin rush our beloved artists create in our brains.

Of course, there is PUH-LENTY of creative, innovative stuff being released nowadays that is infinitely more vital than the phoned-in MDNA (which apparently was well received by the mainstream arbiters who also praise much of the "the s**t out there today in the pop/dance charts," the success on which much of songandanceman's "facts" of Madonna's current quality rests), you just have to care enough to look for it and not be a grumpy old man who knows it can't be as good as it was in the good old days without hearing a note of it.

It has nothing to do with nostalgia since I really like her current stuff. And no I don't think much creativity exists in the POP/DANCE charts. Various other genres of music yes, but as a huge dance music lover then no. Also last night Madonna acknowledged her smoking rant during the final performance of the MDNA tour. During Like a Virgin she performed it with a cigarette and asked for a light from the audience.

Oh p**s off Namo, what did you want her to do....issue a statement? good lord she had a mini meltdown so made fun on stage, most celebs just ignore completely when they do something daft, i thought it showed she had a sense of humor about it. Obviously though people on here wont because she sad, pathetic, over, mean, old blah blah blah
