Madonna throws SHADE at Ang Lee!

Responds to an introduction at CAA's party with "I'm not interested." I met Ang when he showed up unannounced to introduce a special sneak preview of Brokeback Mountain at the University of Chicago, and he really is the nicest man in the world.

• She's an idiot. And a hypocrite. If he told her he wanted to cast her in his next film she'd have sucked him off right on the spot.

• I BELIEVE EVERY BIT OF GOSSIP I READ OR HEAR!!!

• What was up with Rosenbitch's unprovoked shade to Kelly Ripa? How idiotic cause Kelly is a massive Madonna fan, wtf.

• He probably just tried to give her a hydrangea.

• It would have been like Thomas Kinkade being a superior cunt to Vincent Van Gogh.

• Madge is still fuming because Lee has 2 Oscars while she got no recognition whatsoever for directing that POS about the Duke & Duchess of Windsor this year.

• Madonna cannot accept the fact that she is not talented, she is jealous of all the true artists out there. No matter how hard she works and grovels to stay relevant, she has very little true talent. An annoying nasally helium voice backed with dance tracks and Las Vegas dance moves, that is Madonna's entire agenda, ignorant sheepish people bought into her schtick thanks to MTV. There is no reasonable explanation for her fame other than people enjoyong the visual aspect of what she does. She is charmless, humorless and not particularly bright, let alone, interesting. You have to wonder what sort of career she would have if not for the visual aspect of what she does, because her voice is horrible. Every single one of her visual 'ideas' has been ripped off from everyone from Hollywood icons, fashion photographers, S&M photographers such as Charles Gatewood, the Vogue craze and, well, EVERY freaking move she ever made was not original in the least. She simply presented it as new to her clueless audience. She is now pushing old age, yet there she is still holding grudges and being the same bitter sour bitch she was when she was hanging at Danceteria. She will die a bitter sour piece of shit.

• Her star is falling faster than Groupon stock.

• Madonna really is stupid:

• Madonna is known to be reductive.

• I have no doubt this is true because I know of a similar situation: Friends of a friend wrote "Like a Virgin." Despite writing the song and it being a hit, they had never met her until they were backstage at a Madison Square Garden concert. They introduced themselves to her, and said they've always wanted to meet her. She curtly said "Well, now you have" and walked away. That's very ungracious to anyone, particularly someone who wrote one of your biggest hits. She's not a nice a person. She's just...not.

• I loathe Hydrangeas!

• She's probably going through menopause.

• It feels....

• Either you made that up, R15, or whoever told you that lied. Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly wrote the song. According to Wikipedia's article on "Like A Virgin" the song, they were also in the studio as it was being recorded.

• If there were anything to this woman, she'd "reinvent" herself as someone unafraid to get older. No, it does not mean dull, sexless, and out of touch. It does mean embracing the things that get better and adjusting to the things that don't. It means becoming a deeper and more modest person who actively embraces a bigger world. But then, Madonna was never more than a caricature, too self-absorbed or shallow or scared to become anything more, musically or otherwise. Madonna and her devotees never understod that a makeover is not a reinvention of the self. And either way, how do you make a satisfying meal out of Cheetos?

• If you can't be civil, why go to an event? After all, Madonna is far above, and has been for a few decades, having to do industry events. If this is true, my casual fandom of her is quickly changing. Not to hate. I don't hate any celebrity. I save that for, say, the likes of Dick Cheney. It's changing to something that, if it totally took over on even her staunchest fans, perhaps she'd kill herself: total indifference.

• looking at her instagram page is quite entertaining! she has such a need to be 'admired' and nothing is there!

• R19 is DL's Quality Assurance Inspector

• Ang Lee's assistant from Taiwan just issued a statement saying NONE OF THIS HAPPENED L. He said Lee and Madonna had a conversation for about 10 minutes where Madonna complemented his movies saying she was a big fan. Ann Hathaway was also there, she's good friends with Madonna now. Madonna's post Oscars party is THE PLACE for A list celebs, they love it because Madonna bans all press and paparazzi from the event. This story was made up by the Daily Mail, they always print negative stories on Madonna FOR NO REASON.

• Oh, snap!

  http://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D4Q0OSNO3LEQ

• R19 but there is a story they recounted that they met her years later and she blew them off. Not very nice since they arguably played a large part in her success - LAV made her an icon. She also seems to hold grudges, Stephen Bray and some others were not mentioned in her R&R Hall of Fame speech. There are plenty of other such stories - Tony Wilson said in an interview about meeting her years later after she was at the Hacienda and she said "I must have wiped that from my memory" and walked off. The singer James Morrison more recently complained about her. There was also a story told by Tori Amos that a female singer told Tori she met Madonna and was disappointed by her, saying how much she admired her to be told "those shoes are so last season". The guess is Lily Allen, a massive cunt herself, who has publicly dissed Madge many times. Lara Flynn Boyle said when she met Madonna she told her "I love all that you did for women" which was met with "that's almost as bad as what Kevin Costner said!", Lara just walked off. There are more. This cuntery back in the 90s was one thing but is hard to swallow now since she's a cheerleader for the Kabbalah. Anyone she disses would have an easy response and just throw that back in her face.

• No1curr about Madonna. She's a novelty act. She'll be forced to sing "Like A Virgin" at 70. She doesn't sell records anymore. Her career, if you can call it that, is a joke. I hear she's preparing to direct another flop film too.

• I dunno. I saw Life of Pi and I would have done the same thing.

• The voters didn't, r28.

• R24 AnnE!

• R27 Madonna a novelty act? She's been at the top for 30 FUCKING YEARS! She's the biggest selling female artist of all time and 4th biggest selling artist in history over all. As for record sales nobody buys albums anymore, her last album still sold 1.8 million and was among the top 20 biggest sellers worldwide of 2012. According to Billboard Madonna was the highest earning music perfotmer last year, her MDNA tour was also the years #1 tour and 10th highest grossing of all time. She still sells more albums than any other over 50 artist, if Madonna is a novelty act than so is Springsteen and McCartney. Now Mariah Carey that's somebody who's career is really over.

  anonymous%20

• R27 you do realize that Madonna just completed a tour that grossed $305 million and was the years $1 tour at the box office? It is also the 10th highest grossing tour of all time and the second highest grossing for a female artist behing her previous tour. Madonna's musical career is still going stronger than any other over 50 artist. Her longevity is amazing.

  anonymous%20

• And, pretentious!

  http://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DqH6cHmSchtM%26feature%3Drelated

• AnnE is best friends with Madonna? That explains it.

• R27 you do realize that Madonna has more top 10 songs (38) THAN ANY ARTIST IN HISTORY? I can't wait until the Forbes most powerful, moneymaking celebs list is released, alk the Madonna haters will be flipping out on the DL. Madonna is also the highest grossing solo touring artist of all time (1.3 BILLION) and as for Like a Virgin, she rarely performs it and when she does she arranges it differently on her last tour she made it an opera ballad. Madonna RARELY performs her old material. Only on the DL would sombody refer to Madonna the biggest selling and most successful female artist in music history with more top 10 hits than anybody as a novelty act. I think I've heard it alk now!

• The Madonnabot has been activated!

• Who cares about her having more top tens than any other artist in history or her record breaking concerts. She is still a vile bitter cow who doesn't want to grow up.

• Why would Madonna be invited to an Oscar party?

• R36 facts are facts, love her or hate her but her success as a musical performer is staggering. She's outlasted everyone of her generation and still continues. I can see people calling Gaga a novelty act as her 15 minutes already appear to be up, but Madonna? She wrote the book on how to mantain a successful and record breaking career into your 50s, all the younger girls in pop are taking notes. Have been for years.

  anonymous%20

• R37 Lee's assistant just released a statement saying it never happened and that Madonna had complimentd Lee on his films and was very lovely towards him. The press love to make up fake negative stories on Madonna becausr it sells papers and gets website hits. I bet you if Madonna had invited the press and paparazzi to her Oscars bash they'd all be writing positive stories and praising her.

  anonymous%20

• [quote]all the younger girls in pop are taking notes. Have been for years. Yeah, on Janet. They ALL bite her style.

• R38 it was her annual Oscar party, she threw it and invited everyone Before throwing her own party, she always went to the prestigious Vanity Fair bash. Janet's good and she's influenced people too, but she's nowhere near Madonna's level of success or impact.

  anonymous%20

• "Now Mariah Carey that's somebody who's career is really over." Why does the Vadgebot always feel the need to trash Mariah and any other female entertainer to make her look good? And Mariah is the biggest selling female artist of the soundscan era and has the biggest selling song of the 2000's with WE BELONG TOGETHER. Since you're so concerned with facts, there are two of them for you. I know it's having a number one hit in Guam or selling fifty copies in Thailand, but Mariah's record breakers are all in the US, the most important record market in the entire world. Again, just stating facts. And Springsteen only sold out half of his shows last year, and still played to as many people as Madge did with all of her sold out dates.

• [quote]Janet's good and she's influenced people too, but she's nowhere near Madonna's level of success or impact. Every pop starlet out there today shows shades of Janet influence. All of them.

• Madonna is highly successful. So what? So are Dick Cheney and fatty, salty snacks. They've had an "impact", too.

• Mariah has these stats in America which is impressive but the WORLD is better. I have no negative feelings towards Mariah and actually like her new song, the problem is she's in her 40's so radio wont get behind it. Her people never took the time to establish her as a big touring act and if they did, she would just turn and make big bucks. Did you know that Madonna played to 2.2 million fans, made $305 milliin and only did 88 shows. Gaga on the other hand played to 1.6 million people made $160 million and did more, 98, shows? I thought she was supposed to overtake Madonna?

• [quote]Why would Madonna be invited to an Oscar party? It was the CAA party. Presumably she and Ang Lee are both clients of CAA. [quote]it was her annual Oscar party, she threw it and invited everyone No, not the party at which she allegedly insulted Ang Lee. Different party.

• OMG OMG OMG It's like Godzilla Vs Mothra! Janbot Vs The Vadgebot AND NOW There is a Mariahbot that has come to kill them both off!

  This%20is%20so%20exciting%21

• All this touring talk with Madonna. I remember when she was promoting Ray of Light and said she didn't want to be touring when she hit fifty, and how depressing it would be. So what happened? Mariah was never a touring act, so the need to be one now is rather irrelevant. Again, she's a multimillionare. She performs simply to please her fans, not to make new ones. She's also reestablished herself as an actress, an insurmountable feat given how Glitter hurt her career. Precious earned her a screen actors guild award nomination and she has a role in the upcoming oscar bait film The Butler. And a new song for the OZ movie that is coming out.

• R13 I wouldn't mind having that be MY future. Ang Lee does seem like a lovely person. He always comes across as very genuine and sincere.

• Janet = Mariah = Madonna. All purveyors of musical cheese product for tasteless rabble. The notion of an argument between these people is a laugh.

• R48 Mariah has praised Janet as being the revolutionary that she truly is. I'm sure she would have the same praise for Madonna, had she not been so hateful towards Carey in the early part of her career. Carey's response to Madonna was simply done because of Madonna's jealousy that Carey was scoring hit after hit. I like Madonna. Well, the earlier Madonna. She's become too humorless in recent years. Everything is way too calculated and she never looks like she truly enjoys it anymore. Yes, she's always been calculated to an extent. But she used to be fun about it.

• [quote]All this touring talk with Madonna. I remember when she was promoting Ray of Light and said she didn't want to be touring when she hit fifty, and how depressing it would be. So what happened? Her CDs stopped selling and her movies flopped. Her only reliable source of income and prestige now is getting old queens to show up for concerts to dance to songs 30 years old.

• One thing that seems obvious about Madge is that she is personally miserable. She is always in survival mode - ready to protect or defend or deflect or attack. She's never soft or receptive, which is the only way you can FEEL LOVE. Note that Madonna, in the entire history of her song catalog, never writing about feeling warm, safe and loved. She wonders what it feels like for a girl She pretends to feel like a virgin (sexuality, not love) Honestly - if one were to really look at her song lyrics with a critical eye, you'd see that she really is Broken with a Heart Not Open. Sad.

  Poor%20Madge

• Dissing Ang Lee in Hollywood is like stomping in kittens at a Frau convention.

• R53 and yet Madonna's recent CD's have out sold Mariah and Janet's. And of course her CD sales have suffered, the whole CD industry has gone under, but even with that MDNA still was among the 20 sellers of 2012. Her previous CD Hard Candy sold 4 million WW and was the 9th biggest selling album of 2008. Confessions sold 11 million ww upon release in 2005 and was among the top 10 biggest year end sellers for 2 years straight. Touring is more important than CD sales nowadays even Beyonce knows this and already announced her tour before she even released her new CD, IT'S all about touring numbers these days. And according to Forbes Madonna made $40 millipn in 2011 without DOING SHIT. Her 2012 income will be ridiculous, she's alteady the richest female artist of all time in addition to being the biggest selling and highest grossing touring solo artist. Really how much success can one person have?

• Damn. I usually defend Madonna, but I LOVE Ang Lee. I've loved him ever since that gay movie he did ( I can't remember the name but not Brokeback Mountain. I'll just hope this isn't true, but it's Madonna so ...it could be.

• R56: Are you a parody of a vapid fan? If so, well done!

• R53 Madonna only sings about 6 of her old songs in concert, almost all the material is her recent stuff. Every performer in npop would kill to have those touring numbers that Madonna has. As for Mariah's acting career, she was good in her small part in Precious, but Hollywood would think she's too old for leading lady parts. And Madonna has had her share of film flops, but she was also in a number of hit films like Desperately Seeking Susan, Dick Tracy, Truth or Dare, A League of Their Own and Evita. She also got to work with acclaimed directors like Woody Allen and Spike Lee.

• R57 The Wedding Banquet?

• I'm not a big fan of Ang Lee's movies/direction but I can appreciate his craftsmanship and he's one of the auteurs around just now. I was very pleased he beat Speilberg. That film about the pussy on the boat brought FX to a new level. And regardless, like everyone else you just can't help loving him as a person after his Oscars speech. If Vadge did this it's a new low, the combative press release was ugly as well.

• Madonna won a Best Actress Golden Globe for Evita not thay awards mean anything. I think it's crazy that Madonna made $40 million in 2011 without really doing anything. I guess she got paid through royalties, her Macy's clothing line and other endorsements So even when she doesn't tour, bitch is still making money without having to resort to co host gigs on American Idol.

• The Asian guy in "The Wedding Banquet" was hot. What ever happened to him?

• Again IT DID NOT HAPPEN. the Daily Mail made up thr story to trash Madonna. Ang Lee's assistant has even confirmed that it never happened. Madonna should sue their asses. In a 2005 interview Madonna raved about Brokeback Mountain and Ang Lee's direction.

  anonymous%20

• Madonna is full of shit. She should be thankful anyone would want to meet her tired old ugly ass.

• [quote]Again IT DID NOT HAPPEN. It doesn't really matter if it did happen. It COULD have happened. And that is Madonna's problem.

• "So even when she doesn't tour, bitch is still making money without having to resort to co host gigs on American Idol." Because hawking a perfume that's titled after a 1991 movie, years after every other celebirty has one out is prestigious? And having a clothing line named after her 1985 hit is the height of edginess? "in addition to being the biggest selling." If you Madonna stans wouldn't lie so much, maybe there wouldn't be so much negativity on this board concerning her. She's not the biggest selling artist in america. She's not the biggest selling artist in Japan. WORLDWIDE does not equate to only Europe. It means the entire world. Madonna is successful, there's no doubt about that. Why you feel the need to lie about her already impressive achievements?

• This story first appeared in "The Daily Mail," a conservatively aligned British TABLOID, that absolutely [italic]loathes[/italic] Madonna and routinely takes little nonstory items like "Madonna shopped at Harrods yesterday" and spins them into negatively sensational headlines: "Rude Madonna Reduces Harrods Shopgirl to Tears: 'She was an outright bitch!', onlookers say." The sad thing is, in this digital age, these baseless tabloid stories get picked up by legit newspapers and bloggers all over the world and are reprinted and repeated so many times that they soon become "truth."

• Why would Ang Lee go up to and try to introduce himself to Madonna? That's the part of this story I don't believe.

• It's a shame - gay men used to be known for excellent taste and cutting edge sensibilities. Now we're known for defending old, pointless has beens like Grandmadonna.

• Mariah who? I'm the best selling female in America.

  Babs

• "What was up with Rosenbitch's unprovoked shade to Kelly Ripa?" That comment wasn't from Liz Rosenberg. It was supposedly from some unnamed source. Also, it bears repeating, Ang Lee's side has DENIED this happened. But, whatever, carry on displaying your lack of reading comprehension.

• The majority of my fellow gay men have long been a big disappointment to me with their adoration of this self-absorbed, talentless woman. She made a career based on b-itchy attitude and shallow, facile "politics" in her "music". At least most of the other "gay icons" have had something substantial to offer.

• R31 please learn the difference between "than and then". Oh Dear indeed!

• According to the Guinness Book of Records, Billboard and the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. MADONNA IS THE BIGGEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST OF ALL TIME WORLDWIDE AND THE 4TH BIGGEST SELLING IN GENERAL. In America Striesand, who has released more than 3 times as many albums as Madonna, is the biggest selling, with Madonna in second place and Mariah third. Madonna is also the highest grossing solo touring artist (male or female) of all time with unadjusted grosses of 1.3 Billion. These are facts that can be Googled or go to the Guinness Records website. And if Madonna is a has been, then every other over 50 artist is as Madonna is more successful than all of them on 2012. If MDNA only selling 1.8 million was consideted a flop, than whay about the TERRIBLE sales of Streisands latest cash in duets album? Madonna will probably be named the world's most powerful celebrity when Forbes comes out with their list in May. And the Truth or Dare perfume wasn't released until April 2012 so she still made $40 million in 2011 without really doing anything

  don%27t%20hate%21

• R70 if you add Madonna's single sales to her album sales in American than she outsold Streisand in the US too, as Madonna has sold way more singled than her in the US and abroad. And how is Madonna self absorbed do people on the DL know her personally? As for her not having talent, you don't stay at the top for 30 years without any talent. Music producets who've worked with her have raved about her producing skills and songwriting. The more successful you are the more people are jealous of you and wanna tear you down.

• I love r9

• And a has been doesn't sell 2.2 million tickets and have the years highest grosding tour. A has been fakes an illness so she could cancel a tour that wasn't sold out to begin with due to low ticket sales. You all know who I'm talking about A has been goes from arenas to theaters on tour. Madonna did the opposite on her last 2 tours and went from arenas to stadiums, due to popular demand. Qustions class? If Madonna is a has been, THEN THE ENTIRE MUSIC INDUSTRY WOULD LOVE TO BE HAS BEENS LIKE HER. As she made more money last year than any of them.

• [quote]I love [R9] Me too.

Fourthly, Madge has said it's untrue. Finally--enough with the "Madonna is irrelevant" as you same tools have started the 1,000th thread about her. And, she was named #1 for 2012. And, a hit tour. And, a hit album (sold more copies than Beyonce's or Rhianna's last cds!). Get lives. Please.

• r70, please, hon...just let it go. You sound like a deluded Tea Party scumbag. Baby, you cannot argue FACTS. Facts aren't opinions. Madonna was that successful the past 2 years. Grow the fuck up.

• R84 she's been throwing Oscar parties since at least 2010. The A list LOVES IT because she doesn't allow press in and they can be themselves. Supposedly John Travolta and Madonna danced together Bradley Copper, Dicaprio, Clooney, Hathaway and even Jack Nicholson were there. Madonna usually throws it with friend Demi Moore, but Demi was on vacation in Europe so she handled it by herself this year. Ashton Kutcher, another good friend of Madonna's, was also there. As was Selena Gomez and Ben Affleck One of the reasons Elton trashed Madonna was because he was pissed that she started taking the big name guests from his Oscar party. Elton of course, after his rants, did say nice things about Madonna and claimed that they had lunch together and kissed and made up. The press barely reported that.

• [quote]Supposedly John Travolta and Madonna danced together Further proof that he is straight!

• Grandpa at R86, take your own advice and STFU. There is no one who can actually claim the title of biggest selling. Some companies did not participate in the RIAA. Billboard has never been an accurate reporter of sales. Madonna's elderly fans here are the most tiresome posters of the bunch. Start your own thread so you can bask in your middle aged glory and play your music on your turntables. The rest of us couldn't care less. It's pathetic. How fucking old are you people?

• [quote]She's not the biggest selling artist in america. She's not the biggest selling artist in Japan. WORLDWIDE does not equate to only Europe. It means the entire world. But R70, she IS the biggest selling artist in America with floppy beef curtains...

• R84, it's the AFTER-afterparty. When all the A-listers are done posing for the cameras and being seen at the Vanity Fair party or Elton John's, they pop over to Guy Oseary's house for the private Madonna-Demi Moore (minus Demi this year) shindig, which goes on 'til the wee hours of the morning. I don't how or why these two are the hot ticket in town on Oscar night, maybe they just know how to throw great parties.

• R86 exactly and the supposed big artists of the moment like Bieber and One Dirwction have only sold slightly more (2.5 milliin and 3 million) than Madonna did with her last album. In a few short years physical CD's will be extinct and big name artists may even give their songs away for free, because there is no money to be made off album sales anymore it's irrelevant Being a huge touring act and selling out stadiums is now the measuring stick for an artists success this day an age The actual album itself is almost like tour memorabilia like a tour book. Artists use to tour to promote the album, now artists release the albums to promote their tours. If you don't establish yourself as a big touring act who can deliver, you'll have a very short lived career. Especially since radio stops playing artists after they turn 35.

• FYI - even if it DID happen...Lee's camp would issue a press release denying it because it only serves to damage his life and name to be dragged into this. Can you imagine if he confirmed? Or didn't say anything? The press would turn it into one of those never-ending "Hollywood Feuds" that they could then write about til the end of time. So issuing a denial is essential and is frequently done in situations like this. So the fact that his camp denied it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

• R100 exactly I always think it's funny when people on the DL act like Madonna's core fan base is her age or older. She has always trended as far as her fans go a good 15-20 years younger than her. A majority of her fanbase is in their 30s. Even my Mom who is 2 years younger then Madonna told me that she was a fan of Madonna back in the day, but all her friends at work didn't like her and thought that Madonna only appealed to kids and teens. My mom said she never knew anybody in their 20s in the 80s who liked Madonna, it was all kids, tweens and teens.

• She's a horrible, stuck-up, nasty, rude, evil, megalomaniac cunt from hell. So what else is new?

• R101, thanks so much for telling us about your mumsie so we have the official word on all things Vadge. But you don't capitalize "mom" unless you are making a second-person address to or about her. "My mom" is correct. Just because she's crapped you out doesn't give her a capital letter. Too bad while she was educating you about Madonna she was letting your English skills slide.

• She truly is America's Beloved Cunt.

• r19 -- I just read the wiki article about the recording of Like a Virgin, and nowhere does it state that the writers were in the studio when it was recorded. In fact, if you reread it, they didn't hear Madonna's vocals until the entire song was completed. My friend swears by the story, and says Billy and Tom were crushed by her coldness. I'm really surprised that she's been so successful for so long; you'd think karma would have hit her at some point, no?

• who, r104, Madge or the grammar cunt at r103?

• God, don't people get tired of talking about Madonna? I mean this thread has been done to death across the years. Just plug in the new statistics for each iteration.

• R107 because she's still very relevant, even people who claim to hate her are obsessd with her! She can't take a shit without it being reported by the media. Sometimes I wish she could be one of those aging artists who jusy releases albums and tours without the media still being obsssed with them and blowing everything out of proportion. Why can't she be like Mccartney or Dylan doing her thing without the constant media scrutiny? I especially hate when tabloids like Daily Mail purposely make up fake stories about her knowing it'll get them website hits because people are still interested in every little thing she does. If Madonna's publicist called the DM tomorrow and told them Madonna wants to do an interview with you, they'd kiss her ass.

• Madonna always had beautiful eyes but early on she had a granny mouth with a wide ended nose and mole. Through careful tweaks over the years she has eradicated that and now looks more like _________. She even robs people's looks like she stole styles and patents.

• [quote]Why can't she be like Mccartney or Dylan doing her thing without the constant media scrutiny Dylan and McCartney didn't dress up like majorettes when they were senior citizens, nor did they offer concertgoers a quick peek at their half-century old chest during performances.

• Look I don't think everything she does is above criticism, I do however have a problem with people telling lies and then over on the DL she's getting ripped to shreds once again FOR NO REASON If you don't like her that's great! But the personal vicious attacks against her like calling her a cunt or old goes way above simple criticism. Especially since she's always been an ally to the gay community And then people on the DL call her a has been or irrelevant but the very fact that you have to post on every single topic on her makes her very relevant. If she was so irrelevant no one would care and the Daily Mail would stop making up stories on her, they do it because they know they'll get traffic with Madonna stories As for her being a has bern, the FACTS this past year speak for themselves. Could MDNA have been a better album? Yes, were the album sales dissapointing? Yes, are album sales irrelevant in this day and age? Yes. Was her MDNA Tour amazing and did it out gross every othet tour last year? Yes.

• I wouldn't be surprised if the madgebot is a sibling of Madonna. IIRC, her siblings were working on her early tours. It wouldn't surprise me they would come to her aid now.

• You got it R114. Madonna is a joke.

• R114 she's 54 that's not a senior citizen and her body looks good for her age. And her boob popped out ONE TIME IN CONCERT. It was never part of the choreography of the show. Madonna IS fighting ageism the way she once fought sexism in our society. I didn't see no nipples at the 2 Madonna shows I was it. Again the media takes something and runs with it. I do however think when she releases her next album and tour she'll go back to a more classy look and sound. Like an updated Ray of Light, enough of this MILF stuff.

• She never had as many hits as Janet or the adoration, which drives a lot on her batshit crazy.

• [quote]she's 54 that's not a senior citizen and her body looks good for her age. You're eligible for AARP at age 50. However, to be fair, Madge won't be able to take advantage of the Denny's senior meal discounts for another year.

• R120 Plus she can't pull money from her IRA for another 5 years without a huge tax penalty.

• Quit bragging about Madge's touring numbers! Everyone knows that nostalgia acts (Elton/Joel, The Eagles and the Stones to name three recent acts off of the top of my head) sell like crazy because the acts know that: A. Their fans want to go and see the musicians that represents their youth and B. They can afford to pay astronomical prices to do just that. And I like Madonna just fine, btw. I just hate when the Madgebot constantly screams "TOUR SALES, TOUR SALES," without understanding context. More important than overall sales is THE PRICES OF THE INDIVIDUAL TICKETS!

  Sheesh

• R119 what? Madonna has had more hits than Janet in America and every other country! Madonna 38 US top 10 hits, 12 #1's Janet 26 US top 10 hits, 10 # 1's Madonna 20 US top 10 albums, 8 #1's Janet 9 US top 10 albums, 3 #1's Madonna 65 million certified albums sales in US Janet 26 million.

During her 08/09 Sticky and Sweet Tour people were saying that the reason the tour grossed so much, $408 milliin was because of high ticket prices. I then informed them that the tour sold 3.5 million tickets with only 85 shows, even with the prices IT STILL SOLD THE MOST TICKETS OF ANY TOUR THAT YEAR.

• The squealing retarded Madonna fangurl at R35/39/40 needs to shut his retarded asshole mouth. What an idiot! He'd eat the peanuts out of Madonna's shit. She's a novelty act in that she is a person without any great talent for anything except for self-promotion. She's mediocre in all aspects (singing, dancing, songwriting, looks). She tried to be an "actress" and failed miserably at it. Her entire career has been based on ONE thing: sex. She's in her fifties and she's still trying to foist herself off on the public as a 25 year old "boy toy", flashing her nipples and rump onstage. Truly desperate to remain "controversial", she's also brought guns and swastikas into her act. The only reason she's lasted as long as she has is because she is willing to do ANYTHING to stay in the limelight. I mean, we're talking about a woman who allowed herself to be photographed naked with her legs spread wide open (a forest of hair mercifully obscured her vulva) and with her nose in a guy's asshole. Who has has stooped to such desperate measures? No one that I know of. She's unique in that respect. When she's 65 she'll probably do another SEX book and her retarded fans will drool over it.

• R136 but she had a bunch of #1 SALES singles in America in the 2000's, if Billboard didn't insist on including airplay for a songs Hot 100 chart position, all her songs that went to #1 on the sales charta, would've went to #1 on the main Hot 100. Most artists collaborate these days, 75% of Rihanna's hits are collaborations

  anonymous%20

• Whatever happened to those African children that she bought? After she bought them you used to see photos of her with them quite frequently, but you never see them anymore. I guess they're not cute enough for photo ops anymore. I remember a hilarious picture of her carrying the boy; he was quite large and way past the age where anyone would need to carry him. I guess she wanted to show the world what a good mother she is: "look at me! I carry my big African boy child around in my arms! I am such an attentive, loving mother!"

• " 75% of Rihanna's hits are collaborations" No, they aren't. Point is: Madonna can't score a hit without the use of a young artist.

• Obviously she didn't feel that Lee could be of any benefit to her as she is well known as a major user of people. She's too stupid to realize she'll be an old, lonely woman one day. She'll sit back every day crying about the fact that no one will visit her or return her calls. Hateful no talent bitch.

• Now you're trying to drag Rhi Rhi into this? Will the Madgestan ever cease? The one thing Madonna is good at is copying Janet, Whitney, Britney, Xtina, Beyonce and now Ga Ga and Rhianna. Look up derivative.

• Madonna's fabulous and you're all just a bunch of boring farts with some really weird complexes.

• R138 Fuck you and that's funny that you claim her success is based on Sex. When she put her clothes back on and begin maturing as an artist that's when she received amazing critical acclaim and sales. I'm talking Evita, Ray of Light and the Music album from 96-01, it was the most sexless period of her career and yet the most artistic, critically and commercially successful period. How does that work for someone who only sells sex? Madonna would never do another Sex book, except for that nipple slip up, she hasn't done nudity in over 20 years. In fact Warners wanted to reprint the book and she told them no way. It's not like she needs the money anyway. As for her film career, she's appeared in a number of successful films and a number of flops. It hasn't been a great success but it's not a complete failure either. Her film career has more or less parrelelled Elvis, but she did earn acclaim and a Golden Globe for Evita.

• To the rabid Madonna fan(s): Do you really think that Madge loves you back? If you encountered her somewhere, she'd treat you like S*&^t,the same way she treats anyone else. When she yells out in a concert that she loves you, do you really believe it? She loves the money, honey. Not you. You are beneath her.

• R141 yes they are look them up R143 how the fuck did Madonna copy any of these artists? They've all mentioned her as a role model and influence. Madonna copying Britney or Rihanna?

• r112 A sampling of the first three songs you provided. "Crazy for you." The word feel is associated with the other person. Ex: "Can't you feel" and "You'll feel it". When she speaks about herself she says "I'm crazy" "True Blue" She says "I'm so excited" but when she talks about love she depersonalizes the experience, saying "It's true love." Not that she is feeling true love. I get you are inferring that. But she's not actually saying that she felt it or feels it. What she does say about herself is "I never knew love" "I've cried" "I searched." "Cherish" "So tired" "I want more" "I can't let go" "I was never satisfied" She does say "I cherish...the joy" but then gives the other person the power over this "You got the power to make me feel good." She doesn't have the power to make herself feel good.

• How sad that R148's retirment community doesn't have as much bandwith to work with now because he's on here posting made up stuff about that aging werebeast Madonna. Oh yes, music as we know it wouldn't have existed without Madonna's boney influence. Queen, please!

• [quote]The one thing Madonna is good at is copying Janet, Whitney, Britney, Xtina, Beyonce and now Ga Ga and Rhianna. So very true, PARTICULARLY about Janet. When it comes to Janet, Madonna has always been insanely jealous. It all goes back to that Truth or Dare scene when her dancer told her she looked very "Janet Jackson, Rhythm Nation," in the outfit she was wearing, to which Madonna said "Bite your tongue." And then there's that embarrassing militant rendition of "Holiday" from The Girlie Show tour where she tried her hardest to mimic Janet ala Rhythm Nation and just came across as a desperate hack with absolutely NO rhythm at all (pun intended).

Madonna's richer, more famous, sold more albums more cultural impact has more hits, more ticket sales etc. Rihanna came out in 2005, Madonna released 3 albums and about 10 videos since then, again did Madonna create some sort of time travel machine where she can copy off of her or some shit. Madonna and Beyonce are nothing alike in performance styles, and again I want an example of when THE MADONNA copied her. I know Beyonce recently called Madonna an influence as a performer and business woman. AND AS FOR GAGA HER ENTIRE CAREER IS A RIP OFF OF MADONNA HER OWN PEOPLE HAVE ADMITTED IT!

The music didn't mean anything to her. And when all of her acting gigs failed miserably and she was laughed out of Hollywood, she went crawling back to music and flashing her cooch. She's made some money off of some poor desperate souls, whom she wouldn't piss on if they were on fire, but she has a niche. She's more of a vintage act now. A nostalgia tour. Let's go see Madonna and pretend we're in eighth grade again.

• R180 oh please not the fucking race card! And Loder isn't even gay. Madonna's last great album was Confessions on a Dancefloor which came out the end of 2005, it was hugely successful commercially and critically. Her last 2 albums were OK, but beneath Madonna's standards She really needs to get back to being a creative artist and showing off her strengths and stop still trying to be sexy. When American Life came out Madonna did some TV shows where she played guitar and sung songs off the album that she wrote, her natural voice really sounded good back then, that Madonna needs to come back No dancers, no sexy clothes, just her up there singing with an instrument

• Janet's "That's the Way Love Goes" stayed atop the Hot 100 for 8 weeks in 1993--longer than any other hit by any other Jackson. It took Madonna many years to catch up to Janet's 5 consecutive #1 albums, and she still can't claim having 7 top 10 Hot 100 hits from one album, which only Janet's "RN 1814", MJ's "Thriller" and Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" can claim (although all of RN's hits went top 5...). It took ten years for Janet's All For You song's first-week-spins record to be bested by Lady Gaga's Born This Way single. Janet is the only female with two albums that have no less than six Hot 100 Top 10 singles (RN and janet.). She also has more Billboard Awards than any other artist in history, and she has more R&B #1s than any other woman (save Aretha). She even has more R&B #1s than her late brother Michael.

• R186 Maybe Kelly Ripa will quit kissing Vadge's ass and finally see her for what she really is - a mean old bitch.

• Wow, the Janbot has been activated and all I see is a sea of yellow! Calm the fuck down, Janbot.

• "As for her film career, she's appeared in a number of successful films and a number of flops. It hasn't been a great success but it's not a complete failure either. Her film career has more or less parrelelled Elvis, but she did earn acclaim and a Golden Globe for Evita." "A number of successful films?!" HAHAHHAHHA! All of the films Madonna has STARRED in have been FLOPS. She was a supporting player in a few movies that were hits (three, I think) but her being in them had nothing to do with their success. You're an ignorant retard, so I'll fill you in on a few things. Just about ALL of Elvis Presley's films made money; he was a POPULAR film star. As for Evita...well, she played a slutty, ambitious cunt in that movie, that is, herself. And Pia Zadora won a Golden Globe, so that should tell even a retard like you how much winning a Golden Globe is worth.

• Has anyone noticed how Vadge has never dated an Asian (at least not that I'm aware of)?

• What that fucking cunt meant is that she's not interested in appearing in a well-reviewed film or working with a director who expects her to turn in a good performance. Besides, he's a straight Asian male who's close to her own age so she's REALLY not interested. I don't see how such a haggard old bitch has managed to remain somewhat relevant all these years!

• "Maybe Kelly Ripa will quit kissing Vadge's ass and finally see her for what she really is - a mean old bitch." Except neither Madonna or anyone associated with her actually made that comment.

• Is there a way to tag threads so they don't show up on DL?

• Douse the Janbot and Madgebot in gasoline and BURN THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• If the moronic Madonna fangurl on this ever encountered Madonna in the flesh he'd probably shriek "Oh, Madonna!I love you! You're so fabulous! You're the greatest entertainer of all time! I adore and worship you! And she would would probably sneer "get away from me, you miserable little weirdo" and have her bodyguards throw him down a flight of stairs.

• R211 Evita and Desperately Seeking Susan in which she starred in were hits. Truth or Dare was one of the highest grossing documentaries of all time Elvis did not have big film success the only movie he starred in that was a hit was his debut. R208 Madonna has never released more than 5 singles from an album so of course she doesn't have 6 or 7 top 10 singles from one album because she's never released more than 5 singles max, it would be impossible For the record Madonna 38 top 10's Janet 28 Madonna 12 #1 singles, Janet 10 Madonna 20 top 10 albums Janet 9 Madonna 8 #1 albums, Janet 6

  that%27s%20just%20in%20the%20US

• And that's the sad part, R157.

• R209, In fairness Kelly Ripa kisses everyones ass. She is as fake as they come. You can tell half the guessts on that show Michael Strahan saved for her know it too. But yea, she does go even more overboard with Madonna.

• Oh, but you're forgetting, R158, that Janet was NEVER one to release albums back-to-back-to-back the way Madonna did, hence her lower album stats. Janet would release an album, wait 3 or 4 years, and then release another one. With Janet it was never about putting out albums in rapid succession just for the sake of it the way it was with Madonna. If Janet, during her heyday, wanted to release an album every two years, she could have. Also, Janet's biggest sellers have never even been re-certified, so there's no telling how much they've sold to date (although the janet. album has sold in excess of 20 million worldwide to date, and that is WITHOUT re-certification).

• R207 the same Superbowl performance that became the most watched TV show in US TV history and had 3 million more viewers than the game itself and earned Madonna yet another Guinness World record? Pick up the 2013 edition, nice picture of her too And people were saying Beyonce would beat her in the ratings, ha ha!

  117%20million%20viewers

• Give the poor old cunt a break - wouldn't you be in a bad mood all the time if you looked like an old sea hag? Even her ex-husband called her "it".

• Since when did numbers of units sold become the standard for artistic excellence? The uneducated, faddist masses who buy music in throngs are the same idiots who eat processed cheese, watch AI, dine at McDonalds, and think portamento is an indication of authentic beauty. Madonna has gobbled up everything she could find for decades and crapped it out in canny, digested, commercial portions. That it has pleased its intended audience just means she mastered the craft of attracting the sort of people who like to eat that sort of shit. The same goes for most of the rest of the talents out there making huge piles of money. And in Madge's case the main subtext always has been the story of a daddy's girl who tries to shock people with sexuality to cover the fact that she is cold and incapable of real sexual pleasure. At least Gaga pushed the veil aside and brought a dadaist sensibility to the enterprise. But she's fading.

• ALL HAIL THE JANBOT! BOW, MORTALS, AND TREMBLE AT HER AWE AND FURY!

• how did this thread become about Janet Jackson?

• R227 um Madonna was the first artist ever to receive the Video Vanguard award back in 1986 retard. I'm surprised she agreed to accept it, Madonna usually turns down "special" awards because they don't mean anything. She also accepted the Artist of The Decade Award from MTV, Janet wasn't even nominated.

• "How come Madonna still has the occasional hit, while Janet hasn't had a hit since 2001." Madonna's hits are minor, they're really nothing to brag about. Hung Up was really the only impressive single because it was successful without featuring an artist 25 years younger, and that only reached #9. NOTHING to brag about. Janet had the whole industry turn against her after Justin Timberlake exposed her titty at the superbowl. Don't play dumb, boy. Janet had a lot more youth appeal going into the 200s because she was an urban artist. If not for the superbowl, she would have continued her reign.

• R238 correction Hung Up went to number seven and spent four weeks at number one on the singles SALES chart. Hung Up also sold an amazing nine million copies worldwide and went to number one in forty three countries it entered the Guinness Book of records for the single tooping the charts in the most countries. Janet and Madonna herself never had a song that big, it's the biggest selling song of Madonna's career. Four Minutes went to number three but spent two weeks at number one one itunes sales, it also went to number one in over thirty countries, becoming the biggest worlwide hit of Justin's career.

Bullshit. You were the loon in a previous Janet thread who foolishly said that the headset mic Janet famously wore in her earlier videos was originally known as the "Madonna Mic". In what world was it known as that?? That in and of itself shows just how delusional your mind is. [quote]but everytime a Madonna thread happens the Janbot goes bersek. More bullshit. Your crazy ass is the one who mostly creates these nonsensical threads about HAGdonna, and whenever there IS a Janet thread, you or some other Madonna Loon always promptly come in to hijack it, showing your insecurity. I'd be insecure too if the woman I worshipped looked like a withering old tree. [quote]He really is jealous at Madonna's continued success and thinks to himself, why is Madonna still selling out stadiums and arenas and Janet is playing theatres. Nice try, but nah. Janet's Up Close and Personal tour sold out around the world--without the benefit of a new album to back it. She went where there was demand, and there was demand everywhere--from Canada and the USA to Europe, Asia, Australia, South America and Africa. Many of Madonna's stops have not been sold out, and she couldn't even play in all staduims for a supposed "All Stadium" tour. Case in point: she was supposed to play the M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore (like U2 did a couple of years ago), but there was so little demand that she had to downgrade to the nearby Verizon Center Arena in Washington, DC. LOL!! [quote]How come Madonna still has the occasional hit, while Janet hasn't had a hit since 2001. Well, Janet was unfairly blacklisted after 2004's SB incident, so there's that. You and I both know that before that, Janet was STILL reigning on the pop charts. Even after, the quality of her output trumped Madonna's many times over (Janet's ALL NITE in 2004 trumps anything Madonna has put out in the past five years, as does her FEEDBACK and ROCK WITH U). We won't even go into the embarrassing Toni Basil rip-off that was the Hag's GIVE ME ALL YOUR LOVE. Even Rihanna puts out better music than that rubbish. Blech! [quote]It's not fair!!!! You're right. Janet is as youthful and gorgeous as ever, while Madonna...well...looking like this isn't fair, is it...?

• "I'd be insecure too if the woman I worshipped looked like a withering old tree" That line was funny.

• This Janet/Madonna battles utterly confuse me. A person can prefer whoever they want, of course. But Madonna was by far the bigger star. I mean, I loathe her and MUCH prefer Janet's music, vibe and personality. But it's really not even close who was bigger in their primes and who remains bigger now past their primes. Sadly, it's Madonna by a mile.

• R241 according to Billboard and Pollstar all 88 dates on MDNA were sold out, do you actually wanna deny the facts! Janet cancelled her2 008 arena tour because of the bad economy, Madonna started her record breaking and highest grossing tour for a solo artist of all time at the same time, it sold out everywhere and grossed $408 million Janet last did a greatest hits theater tour, cause there's no way they would ever book her in arenas let alone stadiums like Madonna, I think the Janet tour made 15 million off of it being a greatest hits tour. Madonna added a whole second leg of dates on her Stivky and Sweet tour due to poular demand. She was only suppose to do 80 dates on her MDNA TOUR but added more dates due to popular demand She became the first female artist to sell out Yankee Stadium, she did it in 20 minutes and another date was added. JANET WILL NEVER EVER EVER PLAY THOSE PLACES. DEAL WITH IT!!!" Madonna was one of the first artists to use the headset mic during her 1990 tour, since then a lot of others have used it and it's even refereed too as the Madonna mic on the industry.

• R245 exactly only a delusional idiot would say different look at Madonna's stats compared to Janey there downright embarrassing for Janet Madonna may be past her prime for making great albums, but her tours and as a performer she's better than ever. And the world public rewards her by giving her the top grossing and highest attended tour of the year everytime she hits the road. Janet continues to downgrade her venues due to floppage, I'm think school auditoriums or shopping malls for her comeback tour?

You simply cannot be this stupid. Even for a Madonna fan, you just cannot be THIS delusional. I mean, are you fucking for real? On what planet is it known as the "Madonna mic"? Janet Jackson popularized the headset mic during the 1986 "Control" era, often wearing it in videos and during live performances. Madonna, Bobby Brown and other pop acts followed suit (Madonna in Truth or Dare and Bobby Brown in his My Prerogative video, respectively--both which came WAY after "Control"). I don't know whether to laugh at you or feel sorry for your utter ignorance.

  Janet--THE innvator and popularizer of the headsit mic

• Janet's music is not as good as Madonna's but let's call a spade a spade. If Madonna flashed her tit at the Superbowl, she would be given a second chance because she is white.It would be seen as another shock value artsy move on Madonna's part. She would get backlash for sure but the blacklist wouldnt be permanent. Black people dont get second chances in the media. Look at Chris Brown. He will constantly be typecast as womanbeater while the media lets Charlie Sheen and Sean Peen unscathed. Why wasn't Justin Timberlake blacklisted by Viacom? I bet if it was Usher he would have been blacklisted. Only white people get a second chance.

• In October of 2011, rumors abounded in Baltimore that Madonna was going to play the M&T Bank Stadium, per a leaked tour itinerary. As it were, U2 had played there a year earlier and drew massive sellout crowds. Since Madonna's tour has been a stadium tour, it was only a given that she'd play there, right? Wrong. When the tickets for that area finally were made available, they were for neighboring Verizon Arena in DC, because there wasn't enough demand for Madonna in the area to warrant a stadium show. Fact. Oh, and let's not forget how she was mercilessly booed on several stops during her latest Holdin' On To My Youth By A Thread Tour, particularly during a tiny theater show in Paris last year.

• [quote]Janet's music is not as good as Madonna's That's definitely a matter of opinion. Madonna has not put out good music in YEARS. One of Janet's latest singles, the Club Play #1 "Make Me" is as funky and danceable as her stuff from the 80s, 90s and 2000s (and infinitely better than "Give Me All Your Love")...

• The official numbers Janet's Up Close and Personal/Greatest Hits tour grossed $16 million in 2010, it had a 98% sell out rate, she did 80 dates and sold about 500,000 tickets Madonna's MDNA tour grossed $305 million, it had a 100% sell out rate, she did 88 dates and sold 2.2 million tickets. If you're gonna compare box office grosses, have the decency to compare Madonna to another high grossing act, not the chump change Janet tours are making. That's like comparing the box office of the Dark Knight to some obscure art house film. They're not even in the same league!

• [quote]They're not even in the same league! You're right, and they never have been. In 2001, Janet's All For You tour and Madonna's Drowned World tour both played DC's Verizon Center, and here was one review from the Washington Post: Janet Jackson, Diva Dynamo [italic]In the Duelling Diva Smackdown that has filled MCI Center for five of the past nine nights, Janet Jackson KO’d Madonna with a two-hour show that favoured jubilant entertainment over sombre art, and embraced the past instead of avoiding it. Jackson, who opened a three-night stand at MCI on Thursday, also trumped Madonna in terms of staging, choreography and audience participation. Last weekend’s Madonna shows seemed downright cold compared with Jackson’s concerts, the last of which is to take place tonight. Oddly enough, Jackson started her show the way Madonna ended hers, with a photo montage recapping ever shifting images from a 15-year career. That gave way to the real thing, atop a towering pedestal just big enough” to support her. Jackson, sporting a cream-coloured rhinestone outfit with low-riding fringe pants and a beaded halter top, descended to the spacious, white-tiled stage with eight dancers floating down behind her, and launched into the buoyant “Come On Get Up,” equal parts invitation and exhortation. The song’s sinewy dance-funk energy set the tone for the night and was immediately followed by the similarly aerobic “You Ain’t Right” and Jackson’s most recent hit, the smooth, sleek “All for You”...[/italic]

• R252 well Madonna WAS NEVER BOOKED THERE IT WAS A RUMOR THAT SHE WOULD PERFORM THERE. Madonna was booed in Paris, because her FREE concerr was a shorter version of the show, but nobody told the audience, I would boo too. They were expecting the full 2 hour show and she only gave them an hour show then left the stage. In Philly (were I was it) there were some boos because of her lateness, but as soon as she hit the stage THE PLACE WENT FUCKING CRAZY. Due to popular demand, Madonna added a 4th NYC date at Madison Square Garden and I got to see her a second time, my 2 friends who weren't really fans were mesmerized by the show and are now big fans. Madonna has 2 more albums and tours left with her $120 mil Live Nation contract I have a feeling her final tour for them will be an all out greatest hits tour, Madonna will once again be in the record books with that tour Did you know she has 4 of the top 10 highest grossing tours of all time by a female artist? Janet is nowhere to be seen

In the Beyonce superbowl thread, they came in there squawking about Madonna. In every Janet thread they come in squawking about Madonna. There isn't a music thread on DL that the Madonna stans don't come in an take over by shitting all over every other music group. It is sad and pathetic. If your girl is so awesome, then why does it matter what other artists are doing? If Madonna is selling out stadiums, good for her. Why trash other artists?

Yet the album still went gold in the US and outsold Janet's last album So your point is pointless! And for the 50th time, Madonna didn't cheat her way to #1, when you bought tickets you were offered the choice to buy the album, if you said yes $11 dollars was added to your tickey price and you received a redeemable voucher for the album You still paid for the CD

Pride paradez in a few more years Rihanna beat ONE Madonna record that I didn't even know Madonna had, for female artist to score 20 top 10 songs in the shortest amount of time and good for her. Madonna loves Rihanna and Rihanna loves Madonna Maybe Madonna will accept Rih's offer of a duet. Madonna set records with her last album amd tour and even EXTENDED a few that she already set previously. When her new album debuts Madonna will tie a record and set another record (see upthread). If Madonna scores a top 10 hit when she's 55 she'll be the oldest female to have a top 10, if she scores a #1 single, she'll be the oldest artist to top the Hot 100

MANdonna's album went, what, linoleum in the first week, right? Here are the facts. Read 'em and weep on your dusty Like A Virgin vinyls... [bold]MDNA's percentage dip surpasses the record set by Lady Gaga's "Born This Way", when it fell 84.27% in its second week[/bold] [italic]This week, Madonna's MDNA earns the distinction of the largest second-week percentage sales drop for a No. 1-debuting album since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. The album slides from No. 1 to No. 8 on the Billboard 200 with a 86.7% sales decline (falling from 359,000 to 48,000 according to SoundScan). The percentage dip surpasses the record set by Lady Gaga's Born This Way, when it fell 84.27% in its second week on the chart dated June 18, 2011. Born This Way bowed the previous frame at No. 1 with 1.11 million, and then sold 174,000 in its second week at the top of the chart. Born This Way's debut was amplified by Amazon MP3's decision to offer the set at 99 cents twice on two separate days during its premiere week. MDNA's large fall was expected, as its debut was bolstered by sales gained from a concert ticket/album promotion as well as preorders from iTunes. Further, without a current hit single on our major airplay charts nor any substantial recent promotion on Madonna's part, the drop was bound to be significant.[/italic] --THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

• R272 do you have a problem with facts? Half filled stadiums? Every date of the MDNA Tour was officially listed as a sell out Madonna is 54 not 60 just 7 years older than Janet.

• [quote]Maybe Madonna will accept Rih's offer of a duet. Of course she would, considering she can't get a hit on her own. She has to hook up with the current 20-something pop artists in order to get attention now. After the American Life fiasco, she was more than ready to duet with Britney Spears. Then she had her lead single from her 2008 album be with Justin Timberlake. And then in 2012 she had to have her lead single from FlopDNA be with Nicki Minaj and MIA. She knows she's no longer relevant, so she tries to latch on to the latest "hot" thing. She's so pathetic she even wanted Justin Bieber to come on stage with her last year. Sad.

She only sold on average 9,000 tickets per show to her cancelled US dates. That's DISASTOROUS and it confirms that the tour was cancelled because promoters Live Nation were losing money du to her floppage It also pisses me off because Madonna is a shareholder with Live Nation and she lost a couple of million due to coke head Gaga's floppage If you're a Gaga fan you can't call Madonna's music career irrelevant without Madonna there would be no zGaga and Gaga even dedicated her debut album to Madonna

• [quote]She knows she's no longer relevant, so she tries to latch on to the latest "hot" thing. She's so pathetic she even wanted Justin Bieber to come on stage with her last year. OMG, I'm literally LOLing at that. I had no idea that she wanted Justin Bieber to tour with her! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

• R264 I'm also pretty masculine so I'm told and a huge sports fanatic (playing and watching) people are shocked when I tell then I'm bi and when I say I love Madonna they say well that's one gat trait you have

• R281 once more with lies. Madonna did a one time only twitter chat last year and Justin got on and said he would love to work with her, Madonna then invited him on stage to one of her shows if he was om town. She was just being nice Just like she invited PSY. to sing one song with her on tour How the fuck do you get she wanted to tour with Justin out of that? You people are really reaching to hate on her, it's a sad comment on society Google Madonna 2012 tour sold out and you'll see all dates were sold out. People can't handle the truth!

  anonymous%20

• R283 if Madonna would have turned down Justin's request to join her on stage the media would of been like "Mean Madonna says no to poor Justin" the media and DL would of had a field day with that. Justin never did join her for one song though But PSY did for a song in New York and it was awesome! And if Madonna is no longer relevant then why are people on the DL obsessed with talking about her? It's a contradiction in of itself

• Janet Academy Award Nominee Emmy Award Winner (HBO's airing of the massively successful The Velvet Rope tour) Biggest Debut Tour in history Record holder of the fastest sellout of the Tokyo Dome Winner of more Billboard Awards than any artist The first female artist to have 5 consecutive #1 albums First three films debuted at #1 at the US box office Biggest selling album of 1990 First female to have an album debut at #1 during the SoundScan era One of the few artists to sell out the Aloha Stadium in Hawaii (2001's All For You tour) Only female in an otherwise boys club (Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson) to have an album be so phenomenally groundbreaking that it spawned 7 top 10 Hot 100 hits (top 5, actually, which puts RN slightly above Born in the USA and Thriller in that regard). RN also spawned #1 hits in 3 separate calendar years, and is the only album to achieve this feat. More R&B #1s than any other female save Aretha Franklin Only artist in history to be nominated in the Dance, Rock, Pop, Rap and R&B categories at the Grammys, which proves her musical versatility First female artist to debut a single in the Hot 100 top 5 (1995's "Runaway") Janet has 27 Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart (tied with Mariah Carey and Elton John) #1 NY Times Bestselling author Janet's 5 Films grossed over $345 Million Janet's tours (from Rhythm Nation - Number Ones) have been attended by millions of fans worldwide, making her the 3rd most successful black touring act of all time behind Tina Turner and her brother Michael Jackson. Janet's Rhythm Nation tour was the most succcessful US Box Office tour by any female at the time (including Madonna's) Janet signed two of the bigggest record deals in history in the 1990s (and at a young age, to boot), making her the highest paid performer in history two times in one decade

• What's funny is that it would take me forver to list every little achievement that Madonna has Also five of Madonna's films have grossed over $425 million and that's without inflation And aside from the modestly successful Poetic Justice Janet never opened a movie and had a hit like Madonna did with Evita

• [quote]And if Madonna is no longer relevant then why are people on the DL obsessed with talking about her? Only you and the few other Madonna Loons are desperate, needlessly creating thread after thread about her. Get a life. She doesn't know you, and would probably hate/be afraid of your stan-like ways if she did. Oh, and she's old, playing to half-filled stadiums (and arenas when the stadiums are just too empty), can't keep a man (and, at this point, only manages to snag too-young-for-her, greedy bisexual guys), and she can't put out a good, successful album to save her life.

• R285 Madonna's 1992 contract with Time Warner was worth more than Janet's 1991 Virgin records contract Madonna than signed an unheard of $120 million deal with Live Nation in 2007 Janet ate at McDonald's in 2007 and is currently without a record label.

  anonymous%20

• R288 again all 88 shows on her last tour were SOLD OUT You do know what that means right? MDNA actually got good reviews according to MetaCritic, it's not a bad album but it's not her best either She should have promoted it more. Still 1.8 million sales isn't bad for an over 50 artist, Janet didn't even sell that much with her last album 5 years ago, when album sales were stronger and Madonna sold 4 million copies of Hard Candy

  anonymous%20

• r277, you do know what a sound check is, right? "the album with THE BIGGEST PLUMMET FROM THE TOP SPOT in, like, YEARS!!!" Actually, less than a year: Gaga's BTW had the biggest drop before it.

• All 3 of Janet's last albums flopped Madonna had one huge seller with Confessions, one decent seller with Hard Candy and one dissapointing seller with MDNA And as a Janet fan how can you talk shit on Madonna's recent album sales? Again Janet would kill for those sales.

  anonymous%20

• [quote]Madonna's 1992 contract with Time Warner was worth more than Janet's 1991 Virgin records contract FACT: In 1996, Virgin Records was able to succeed in their contract negotiations, with Janet Jackson receiving a historic $80 million dollar contract, making her the world's highest paid musical act for the second time in her career. Deal.

• Who's Madonna?

  Anyone%20under%2025

• R291 exactly jealous people always resorr to lies to undermine Madonna's success and acheivements. While their faves are flopping like crazy Like the guy from Live Nation said the success of the MDNA Tour and the fact that in the last 5 years Madonna has generated tour grosses of $713 million, while only doing 173 shows further confirms the fact that Madonna is the biggest touring female artist in the world in 2012

  haters%20don%27t%20like%20facts

• I hate when people argue that Madonna's tours gross so much because of inflated ticket prices. All that does is further prove the point that she's in demand and relevant. People have to CHOOSE to pay those prices and they DO, REPEATEDLY.

• [quote]All 3 of Janet's last albums flopped Damita Jo is more that triple platimun worldwide (without re-cert) 20 Y.O. is more than platinum worldwide Discipline was her 6th #1 album, and it yielded a Dance Club #1 and a top 20 hit And all this even after her ridiculous blacklisting And none of these albums have the distinction, ala MDNA, of plummeting so fast from the top spot that NASA couldn't detect it.

• Justin Bieber did not tweet Madonna, she was before his time. He doesn't know who she is. He did not respond to her tweet asking him to join her on stage at all. PRICELESS lol

• She's relevant to her niche fanbase, r296. Not to the general public anymore.

• R294 stop trying to be cute, the whole world knows who Madonna is, I have yet to meet anybody teenager or younger who doesn't know who Madonna is? Janet had the biggest deal for a female in '91, Madonna than came along in '92 and beat it I believe Janet had the biggest deal again in 1996 Madonna would sign a much bigger deal with Live Nation in 2007 Janet has a net worth of $150 million Madonna has a net worth of $650 million In 2010 Forbes did a list of the highest earning females in music since 2000 Madonna was #1 Beyonce #2 Celine #3 Janet nowhere to be found

• r294, that's such a stupid point. A couple of years ago during the Grammys, a bunch of young idiots on Twitter were wondering who Paul McCartney was. Does their lack of knowledge in any way diminish his success or place in music history? Using your logic, it does.

• She will always be a cunt through and through.

• [quote]Janet nowhere to be found Janet was with her husband traveling the world, enjoying life and doing good works. You know being a lady, unlike that Hag who is now dating guys who go to school with her daughter.

• It's official: Madonna is THE most talked about woman on DL. 30 years after her first album was released.

• R288 yes he did! So did Lione Ritchie, Rose McGowam Katy perry and Britney! Google it R297 yet Madonna has ousold them all Confessions 11 million vsDamita Jo 3 million Hard Candy 4 mil vs 20 year old 1 million MDNA 1.8 million Discipline under 1 million Even Madonna's upteenth greatedt hits album destroyed Janet's nunber ones on the charts Didn't Discipline drop out of the top 10 in it's second week?

• Madonna went on Twitter for a one time thing on March 27th 2012 Justin Bieber got on saying to Madonna "that your's is a career all artists dream of" Madonna tweeted back that she and Lola were big fans of his and invited him to join her for a song on stage during her tour. She was just being nice and friendly R308 Madonna does have musical credibility, the media may love to hate on her personally but she's received more than her fair share of critical acclaim through her albums, tours, and music videos. R294 was just trying to be funny, but I literally have never met one person in my life who doesn't know who Madonna is? She's still one of the most famous women in the world.

• R306 Madonna is the most popular touring act in the world at this moment Her album sales are still higher than any other over 50 artist Madonna's main fan base are gay men in their 30s, I guess on the DL that's considered elderly According to her Facebook page the most popular age range of her fans are between 18-22. I swear to God I guess she does cross generations.

And you're talking a whole ten years worth of time. Janet was THE groundbreaking artist for signing big record deals. Deal with it.

• [quote]Didn't Discipline drop out of the top 10 in it's second week? "Discipline" debuted atop the Billboard 200 (Janet's 6th album to do so). In its second week, it dropped to #3, and in its third week it dropped to #8. What did "MDNA" do in its second week (besides hit "wood" status)? BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

• R311 that was the Forbes richest women in entertainment list from 2007, I believe Madonna was #3 on that list behind Oprah and Martha A seperate list came out in 2010 for the highest earning female performers of the last decade (2000-2009) Madonna was #1 Janet was nowhere to be seen According to the Forbes 2009 list Madonna made $120 million in 2008 if she tops that this year (which she will) she will break her own record for the highest annual earnings for a female musical performer. But nobody likes her anymore and she's so irrelevant keep dreaming haters!

• In 5 years since it's release Discipline has sold under 400,000 copies in the US In it's first 6 months of release MDNA sold over 500,000 copies in the US and was certified Gold What was the more successful album?

  MDNA

• r317 Who also had a radio deal that required clear channel stations to spin her single once every hour for 2 weeks and still failed to stay in the top 10 for more than a week? Madonna

• JANBOT, I got into this late and I'm not going to read through 240 posts but the fact is YOU are the most abusive, insulting, pathetic person on DL. Your morbid interest in a dead talent like Janet Jackson is perverse. Your writing skills are substandard and juvenile in nature. When we think you, we think of a lonely, friendless person drinking imaginary cola with an imaginary BFF former star. I wouldn't wish a life like your's on anyone.

• Janet's tours struggle with ticket sales. Tours are where the money's at, so I guess it's a good thing she married rich. And she's fat.

• [quote]How did Madonna manage to end up throwing THE after-Oscar party? She pretty much HAD to, or suffer the fate of going to The Ground Round with the kids to watch it on the big tv screen there. Would you invite her to an Oscar's party?

• From this point on, I refuse to click on another Vadge thread or Janet thread. Both of their fans are delusional and warped. What's funny is they're arguing over two people who are no longer even relevant.

• R322, when a gal makes $305 million in one tour and $500 million in one year on royalties, perfume, total income----I'd say she becomes relevant. How much did YOU make last year refolding jeans at the Gap? Nobody does it better than Madonna.

  MadBot#5

• "What's funny is they're arguing over two people who are no longer even relevant." Yeah, that's why Madonna threads on DL lose steam after a couple of posts. Oh, having the number 1 tour of 2012 is basically the opposite of irrelevant. Unless you live in bizarro world. Janet's another story...her career is on the skids. It'd be one thing if her album sales were no longer strong, but her tours don't even bring in the big bucks anymore. Your career's in danger, girl!

• R324, when did Janet have a career? It has been 6 years since she was fired from her last label.

• R323 What a bitter, hateful person you are. Madonna fanatics are truly some of the most miserable people on the planet. And she really doesn't give a shit about her fans in the first place, which is even sadder.

• How very reductive of you!

• [quote]Justin Bieber got on saying to Madonna "that your's is a career all artists dream of" That kid seriously needs grammer and spelling lessons.

• [quote]Madonna fanatics are truly some of the most miserable people on the planet. And she really doesn't give a shit about her fans in the first place, which is even sadder. They're psychotic! What's really sad is how they brag about all the money she has while they go broke spending hundreds of dollars per ticket to see a washed up old cunt who doesn't even like her fans. Talk about masochistic.

• R329 called it. Madonna herself would probably think the fanatics are losers.

• [quote]JANBOT, I got into this late and I'm not going to read through 240 posts but the fact is YOU are the most abusive, insulting, pathetic person on DL. Aww, poor thing. Butthurt that your idol is now just a withering old tree, struggling to be as relevant as the more talented pop diva's who have long since supplanted her. [quote]Your morbid interest in a dead talent like Janet Jackson is perverse No, sweetheart. I think you need to look in a mirror to see what the true meaning of perverse is. And if a woman who is still not done with her career--a woman who is still inspiring the generations of performers who came after her--a woman with a legacy of still-emulated world tours, influential pop/R&b albums, groundbreaking videos, millions in record sales, films and a #1 selling book is a "dead" talent to you, then maybe 'perverse' isn't the only thing you need to reacquaint yourself with the meaning of. I'm LOLing at how my musings on Queen Janet have gotten under your pathetic little thin skin so much that you dared direct your lame insults my way. It just proves how pitiable you Madonna Lunatics really are (that, and the fact that you spend way too much money to sit in a half-empty stadium to watch her old ass straddle a bunch of gay men). Now why don't you go choke on your imaginary Cola, dear.

• [quote]when did Janet have a career? It has been 6 years since she was fired from her last label. How retarded are you? Maybe you were under a rock when Janet drug Madonna by her black roots through the late '80s and the better part of the '90s. When did Janet have a career? Surely you motherfucking jest. Every one of these pop divas of today follow the blueprint that Janet created. And Janet wasn't fired from Island/Def Jam. She asked to be let out of her contract, but not before delivering to them a #1 album. And you were saying...?

• Someone give me a silver bullet.

• I guess poor old JANBOT finally had that aneurism.

• Well, r282 has me convinced. Madge's fans are clearly all athletic, masculine young dudes with totally awesome taste in music. At the better clubs in my city (the ones that often host touring international DJ talent as well as the best local jocks) you never hear Madonna, EVER. Just look at her instagram - I've seen 14yo girls less desperate to be one of the cool kids. It's a little pathetic actually.

• The Queen Of Pop Janet Jackson has a better voice than Madonna, and her songs are more memorable. Can Madge beat that? I don't think do.

• [quote]The Queen Of Pop Janet Jackson has a better voice than Madonna She's also prettier, can dance better, is a better actress and performer, and doesn't "need" fame the way that Madonna needs it. After all, she's been famous since she was a little girl.

• Janet is a dead bitch. Nobody cares about the hasbeen beyond the 6 demented internet gays she has as fans who are on a different planet to everyone else, Planet Janet, the worst planet ever. Why anyone still talks about the whispering relic from the fake, lying Jackson family is a bigger mystery than why she had a career in the first place. She can't sing, she has a one note range and it's a really high, annoying note. She can't write. But she can dance after Paula Abdul taught her fat ass how - see what a joke she was on Fame? Her songs were rhythmic rather than melodic and she's just a local star in America. So in other words no musical talent or worth whatsoever. Not to mention a plastic face and tits with multiple lipos between her blowing up between album promos, how's that for self loathing. Ladies and gentleman I present you with The Queen of Pop!
