The Fantastic Anti-Madonna Thread! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Steve M. · 01-22-2004, 10:42 PM

In the interest of leaving Madonna fans to their own threads to talk about how wonderful she is, I've elected not to rain on their parade, but instead start my own thread on how she sucks. So here we are:

"Like A Virgin" is sung with an annoying vocal and has a lousy arrangement.

"Like A Prayer" is the worst song of the past twenty years. "Justify My Love" isn't even that good.

Madonna's acting proved to be the greatest news Pia Zadora had since learning she was going to become a mother.

What's the difference between Madonna and Pia Zadora? Pia Zadora can sing.

What's the difference between a Madonna video and a porn film? A porn film has better music.

An album of remixed, remastered versions of her old hits? Well, if your new stuff is so bad no one will buy it. . . . Except that with her old crap she's rechewing the cud and spitting out something that tasted putrid the first time.

Madonna supports Wesley Clark for President. Not surprisingly, John Kerry is now leading in the polls!

Never mind that Madonna lives in London now.

When Madonna wrote her first book, she thanked her editor for teaching her how to spell. No comment.

Madonna said once that her most inspirational moments come to her when she's on the toilet. This explains a lot about her recordings.

Alright, my fellow Madonna-haters - let's hear your gripes!

Holy ****! Buffyslayer79 was right....

Steve M. · 01-22-2004, 10:59 PM

No, she was afraid someone would post an anti-Madonna diatribe on a pro-Madonna thread. . . .I did not do that. . . . I started a separate thread! Dig that?

Dean Winchester · 01-22-2004, 11:05 PM

even most people who hate Madonna can admit to liking SOME of her songs. Even my mom who detests Madonna admits there's a good 5-10 songs she likes.

Like A Prayer is the worst song of the past 20 years? I'd love to live in that alternate universe where every other song is THAT GOOD that LAP is the worst. LAP is probably the greatest song Madonna ever recorded.

I also love how Madonna bashers make fun of her acting.... LIKE MADONNA FANS DON'T REALIZE SHE IS THE WORST ACTRESS ALSO!?!

Remixed And Revisited was almost all remixes of songs off her last album anyways.

Madonna is the queen of pop music IMO. I personally hate Mariah Carey with a passion, but you don't see me posting countless threads about why I think SHE ruined music (you say Madonna ruined music... I say Mariah has. Mariah is responsible for blurring the line between pop and hip hop, and her and Jennifer Lopez are both responsible for why most pop fans cannot listen to the radio anymore, because they made rap popular with an audience that would've never touched it before)

P.S. I also hate the way people who hate Madonna (know about 20 of them) who paint Madonna fans as ONLY Madonna fans. I have 2000 cd's, I enjoy Janet, David Bowie, Prince, Cher, Bjork, Elton John, Abba, Fleetwood Mac, Jewel, etc... and that is just icing on the cake. But to people who hate Madonna.... "we ONLY like Madonna". Someone on a board of another 80's artist I like who dislikes M was calling me out about being a Madonna fan, "why be a Madonna fan? why not like Pat Benatar or Cyndi Lauper or Joan Jett?" except the Sherlock never actually took to realize that I DO LIKE ALL THREE and have even seen those 3 live... but since I'm a Madonna fan, I obviously cannot like other artists.

Steve M. · 01-22-2004, 11:17 PM

LAP probably is the greatest song she ever recorded, but that's like being the finest ice hockey player in all of Ecuador.

Ewan's My Man · 01-22-2004, 11:29 PM

Ahh...this topic made me laugh. I'm a HUGE Madonna fan mind you, but this definitely made me laugh. Glad someone finally started a topic where all the Madonna-bashers could go. Y'all bash away...I'll come back when I need a laugh. I'm not laughing, like...making fun of you...I'm laughing b/c it seems that all the anti-Madonna people know all this bad things about her...and those things amuse me.

Ok...go on go on...

Like a Prayer was a GREAT song btw

Proceed with the bashing...

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 01-22-2004, 11:38 PM

I love a lot of Madonna's 80's songs, but when it comes to her.. she doesnt nothing for me. Its like, I like a bunch of her songs and stuff, but if she were to go on tour or whatever, I could care less- even if I won free tickets. She just doesnt do anything for me.

oh my god. he has the right to express his opinion without being laughed at. last year i had half the board against me because i just didnt happen to like avril lavigne and i still dont forgive them, except for maybe one person. and i hope they all die by the time i get my cream soda shaved ice from bahama bucks tomorrow.

well, it's not that he dislikes Madonna, but that he rips on her like it was still the Virgin era. She's a legend now and he rips on her as if she was Hilary Duff or something. She's come a really long way from the time she wore a boy toy belt and a crucifix bracelet, and everyone else can see it.

Whether or not you like her music or not, you cannot deny she is an icon.

Like I stated already, I hate Mariah Carey (well, post-1995 Mariah).... BUT.... I cannot deny that she has a powerful voice.

Anyone who trashes Madonna so bitterly has obviously never actually listened to the Like A Prayer or Ray Of Light albums (both of which make a lot of "best albums of the last 20 years list").... it's time to "forgive" Madonna for Material Girl... it's even worse than those who refuse to accept that Justin Timberlake has grown and gotten better because they still hold the N'Sync image against him.

Steve M. · 01-23-2004, 12:05 AM

I heard "Ray Of Light," the song in a restaurant. I wanted to leave but I hadn't paid the check! All her nineties stuff is rotten, but not as defiantly and definitively rotten as her eighties stuff!

A legend? Yeah, a legend in her own lunchtime!

By the way, this is a thread for Madonna bashers. Okay, I posted anti-Madonna posts on pro-Madonna threads, but I promise not to do that anymore. Now that you've littered this Madonna-bashing thread with your pro-Madonna posts, we're even. Okay?

omg!! i didn't post laughing at him! i posted b/c he MADE me laugh...the thing he said about "Madonna having her most inspirational moments on the toilet" and stuff like that...THAT made me laugh. B/C I'm a huge Madonna fan, and it's not like I have friends that are anti-Madonna...so I'm never hearing this stuff. I find all the things he said quite amusing. Hell, some of my favorite SNL skits of all time are the one's making FUN of Madonna. I don't care that he doesn't like Madonna. I agree he has every right to post an "I hate Madonna" thread. Music isn't just talking about the good...and everyone agreeing...some people dislike artists and they should be able to talk about that as well. I'm all for this thread, they can go on and on about how they hate her until they turn purple, doesn't bother me...well...unless they turn purple and die...that's not good...but you get the point. I'm a Madonna fan, I love her music, I have posters of her on my ceiling, however if someone doesn't LIKE her who am I to tell them off?

BTW...read my first reply again...b/c I said "I'm not laughing, like...making fun of you...I'm laughing b/c it seems that all the anti-Madonna people know all this bad things about her...and those things amuse me."

I believe I hated Avril Lavigne more than you, everyone used to practically attack me whenever I mentioned her name. I will always cherish the arguments I had with Kristina.

lyk no dood i h8 avril more than both of uy kjewliez lozl

And yes, I know all my Avril arguements rawked punk style k? Everyone freaked out when I said Avril was punk, it was amusing.

Dean Winchester · 01-23-2004, 03:31 AM

just to clear the air, I will confess that I am not the biggest fan of Madonna - the person. I used to think she was "so cool" during the Blonde Ambition era, but it seems like she has gotten really hypocritical as she's gotten older and suddenly trying to be "older and wiser". I also do not like the way she treated Carlos Leon over THEIR daughter, she promised him she would raise Lourdes a Catholic for him, but however she has gotten her kid into that Kaballah cult crap (which has actually made Carlos very upset). I was cringing when she was getting all moral on David Letterman's refusal to marry the mother of his child.... when she of all people blasted marriage on Oprah's show back in 96 right after her daughter was born.

But... despite all this. I do think Madonna is a great entertainer. She's not the greatest vocalist out there (I don't know any Madonna fan who really does think she is in Streisand or Celine's league), and she is a horrid actress (I admit to liking a few of her movies, but all of them she's in essence just playing herself), BUT... she has lots of charisma and balls. Plus, she has never stopped maturing artistically. She's not someone like Jennifer Lopez who will whore herself to the lowest common denominator trend in order JUST so she'll have a hit (you can say she whored herself during Erotica... but that was one of the most non-mainstream albums of her career, so it's not like she was doing it while singing sugar pop songs). Which is why as she's gotten older, she's attracted more and more "unlikely" fans, people who would've never had the time of day for her type of music in 1984.

Plus, Madonna, like many others, is not someone you can judge solely on the singles. She's an artist who is more about making consistant albums than great singles. I just don't get why people are so hellbent against bashing her musically. Nothing Fails off her last album was one of the most powerful songs I've heard in the past year or two.

it's funny how much everyone loved Avril then... and yet hate her now. All the Hilary fans should take a peek at posts in here from 1 year ago and remember all the Avril worshipping that went on.

Avril IMO, was okay as a "power-pop" singer... but she was NOT punk at all, and also she annoyed me in interviews. Anyone in the rock field who doesn't even know who David Bowie (IMO, one of the greatest rock stars to ever live) is doesn't even deserve a recording contract.
