Absolutely breathtaking. This is the way she should lead the new era, best I've seen her look since before the era started! [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7][emoji7] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

But that’s kind of the point in part. The photos aren’t real. They’re hyper edited on top of the already huge amount of cosmetic work and the best stylist hair make up and wardrobe that money can buy. When is it enough? Who is the deceitful, disingenuous party? What message does that send to young girls, her daughters, anyone? We were fine to question Michael Jackson’s surgery and self body image… but not Madonna’s… because she is a woman… of a certain age? Double standards. I’m not stating what’s right or wrong? I’m pointing out that the messaging is worth debating.

I find it odd that you chose NOT to question anything more than anything else….. Apart from my point of view of course..You are happy to question that, seemingly only because it doesn’t marry with your, (dare I say), slightly myopic view. Is it not curious that you take no balanced view of any of the concerns and legitimate questions raised or hinted at by numerous forum members and chose to just … blindly defend her albeit legitimate choices? No one is saying she shouldn’t do exactly what she wants, but for me to just eradicate any thought process as to why she does it or what it does or doesn’t say about her particular mind set or brand of feminism or whatever, is utterly absurd. She can do what she wants, I can think how I want. Why is that so threatening to you? I find it weird that a fan of a woman who taught us to question, chooses …not to question her, but only those that question her. It’s clear we won’t agree, but my thoughts still stand and it would seem I’m not alone.

I guess some of us just see her more than a dancing puppet and care about her well being health wise, physically, emotionally and mentally. I don’t think that’s reactionary, over blown or rageful. It’s concern, but if you chose to frame it that way that’s on you. We’ve seen concerning behaviour from her peers in terms of body image, substance abuse and controlling relationships and most of them are now dead. I think I’ve been a fan long enough to warrant noting a moment or pattern of concern. Yes Madonna is person but she is also a cultural icon and her journey matters. I tend to flip between a cultural case study and a woman I love in terms of critique / praise / compassion. These lambasting “you’re all misogynistic ageists” comments that get thrown out actually attempt to kill the conversation dead and move the spotlight. There are those that are, there are also those that wonder what is going on rather than just screaming “yass mamma werq fuck the haters” Second to this we know she has is attempting to tackle ageism and her continued fight against misogyny so…. We’re talking about it right? As with most worthy causes there are some ways to go about it that are more successful than others. I’d argue extensive, bordering on body dysmorphic, procedures probably aren’t they best route but that’s another conversation. Choice vs pressure on women and the male gaze. Is she leaning / pushing against that or is she leaning into it or perpetuating it.. or is she past that? Fuck the patriarchy is something I am more than down with. Not sure a giant fake ass and two fingers up is gonna dismantle that. She’s a feminist icon. It would be amiss to not observe and discuss the validity of her actions and also how her personal life affects those actions. Its nuanced and not as you paint it. No beef but that’s my view.

The photo above is the second trailer the one below is the first trailer... The second trailer was better the more realistic colors

M was going in the same direction as past releases: high exposure, her face ending up being almost completely white, so her "wrinkles" doesn't show on screen. I'm really really glad they changed for a more natural approach. CANT WAIT!

Just watched Hung Up from Confessions tour and she looked amazing on that leotard. I wonder what that Madonna would say if I showed her these 2 pictures and said "this is you in 16 years"

I said it earlier, but holy shit she looks stunning (and actually natural, unlike her filtered pics!!!) when I first saw these pics today I thought they were pre Rebel Heart era! Beautiful!

At the end of the day Madonna WANTS the controversy. That's why she did this. So if there wouldn't be people bitching about it (like me lol) it wouldn't have succeeded. Continue to express yourselves, all of you. But be careful in trying to silence people and pulling the ageist and misogony card. That's done far too quickly: atleast amongst fans of Madonna. Since her gender is often brought up in this debate and how she can do whatever she wants because she is a woman and all that.... People SHOULD be able to question women. They are like men, capable of being reasonable sane adults. They are equal, So i treat them that way. We need to be careful in tiptoing around women like they can't take it. No that doesn't mean to freely attack them. But dialogue and questioning should be allowed. If we can't hold them accountable, how does it help them? This goes for any gender. Bubblewrapping women from cririque like they are victims of this world is not helpful or empowering. Again doesn't mean to go on a rampage of roasting them. But questioning and discussing their behavior should be fine. In my opinion Madonna has alot of yes people around her. I made comments earlier about Madonnas cheeks and stuff, well both sets of her cheeks. And i wouldn't post it under Madonnas photoa or on her social media. But this is a fan forum. I'm going to discuss, as others should be able to do so.

Not saying she isn’t happy. Not saying she’s got health issues. Not saying she needs the concern of strangers on the internet. Not saying I know her. I’m a fan. It’s perfectly legitimate for me to hypothesise about her motives and mental state of mind. In a world where we are now encouraged to talk about and look out for mental health issues I think it’s fair to question why someone wants to change and curate their appearance to such an elaborate degree, whilst also noticing their waning confidence levels in public appearances and interviews. Its just an observation that’s perfectly acceptable to discuss. I find the attempted shut downs a bit weird to be honest. 2021 I guess.

This isn’t directed at you but why are some people here always lecturing people on how they should behave or think and questioning how they spend their time? People in glass houses…. And those same people write lengthy essays about this and that. This is a discussion forum people.

Rolling Stone magazine convened a poll of more than 250 artists, musicians, and producers — from Angelique Kidjo to Zedd, Sam Smith to Megan Thee Stallion, M. Ward to Bill Ward — as well as figures from the music industry and leading critics and journalists. They each sent in a ranked list of their top 50 songs, and this is the result. The Queen Of Pop has three entries. Are you satisfied with these entries? 55. Madonna, 'Like a Prayer' 139. Madonna, 'Vogue' 161. Madonna, 'Into The Groove' Full list: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-songs-of-all-time-1224767/

for the life of me, I just can't understand WHY the filtering of the face on the VMA promo and WHY the filtering of her face on EVERY insta pic.... if she is looking absolutely amazing!!!! I'VE HAD IT. OFFICIALLY.

Why this concern about her well being? You don’t know her. You don’t really know anything about her private life. She has a family, a boyfriend and plenty of friends. She’s also rich and can afford the best healthcare in the world. Also she’s not one of these celebrities going on tv and crying about how miserable she is. As far as we know she’s living her life and does her thing the way SHE CHOOSES to. The last thing she wants or needs is for a bunch of strangers’ unwarranted concern

The problem tho… are peoples assumptions that she’s insecure and something is wrong because she chooses to modify her body. (If anything, it takes more balls to get an ass that big and flaunt it) Trying to piece together a stumbled line in front of the camera, her love for a glass of Champagne, and her body modification like it’s some fucked up game of Clue and then say that it’s a healthy/realistic discussion is absurd. She squashed any doubt anyone should have when she addressed it after Stonewall and declared she had free agency over her body like everyone else does. Just because YOU don’t find it attractive doesn’t mean there’s some mental issue going on. Just because it’s exaggerated doesn’t mean she has delusion of what beauty is. It’s also absurd to assume that every choice she makes in life has to be reframed as a political stance on feminism. All of the sudden everyone is a doctor capable of determining that an ass of that size on a frame of that size is detrimental to one’s body as a whole when there are women who are naturally built with big fat asses. You say it’s out of concern, but your concern arose because she stepped out of a box YOU created for HER.

If you think she’s had no work done you’re delusional. Shes had her butt done since the confessions era. Just like she used fillers in her lips since the early 90s

You know what? You Love it or hate it. The one thing you can't denied is Madonna is genius of PR. Like or not If Madonna want to get a people's attention She get people and media's attention. But Look at the Jennifer Lopez! She did the almost same thing witch Madonna did at same night and same Place! She comes out in clothes that almost reveal her boobs and almost shows her pussy, and uses a minute more on stage than Madonna, but no one talks about Jennifer Lopez. Like her or Not you have to admit that Madonna is A genius of PR.

I was front row centre for Madame X in London. Ricardo was practically in my lap. I kept glancing at his phone during intervals and he was getting messages from “M” directing him in taking pictures…I thought what a strange job. Saw him next day in hotel having breakfast gossiping with one of her stylists…didn’t seem too happy.

BREAKING NEWS: The Exorcism of Madame X coming to Paramount+ this october!

Wrong. She's paying hommage to herself and the MTV10 video, and the last message shown on it. W Magazine got it wrong.

Women also have to deal with women. Don't forget them.

Madonna and Steven Klein photographed at Scooter Braun's party

Hoping she will get the bum implants reversed - it's so distracting and not in a good way

But come on, let's be honest! Take a good look, she put on weight but one can't put fat especially on his ass and like this, getting such a shape and disproportion. She has always had a muscular but small (very small) ass. And she showed it from the early 80's tours all the way up to the Sticky and Sweet Tour. Even as early as the MDNA Tour everyone had suspicions that she's had work done something. And I think that too. But she looked stunning. She probably had her new ass implants again further in 2018. Her butt changed suddenly and with a big disproportion and she tried to hide it. You can see it a lot now, even when she recently put up videos where she was working out and she looked like she was in diapers.

You guys call any of us a hater or whatever when we say it like it is and reach like a mf to defend Madonna of anything and everything saying she's in charge and she's breaking the rules 'cause she's the queen OMG slay unapologetic mama weeerk whatever but the minute you guys don't like the overedited pics on insta the poor Ricardo Guy gets all the blame and is a horrible influence on this poor, naive, helpless woman. I mean, I-

Of course her outfit at the VMAs was a publicity stunt and I LOVE IT. I applaud her. She has the g*ddamn right and the shape to pull it off without looking ridiculous! She's all over the news and it is timed perfectly for the release of the concert film.

I will never understand why this video/song dosen't already have 100 millions views

Whoever told her that she needed to filter the fuck out of her pictures needs to be ex-communicated from her camp ASAP! She looks amazing!

And some leaks hopefully

It means next week we'll have the first reviews

SHE LOOKS AMAZING HERE!! She just ate a delicious meal at Carbone too. Our queen has taste

But think about. It’s kind of disrespectful. What if you posted a photo or video online where you feel good about how you look and someone, even more so someone you don’t know and knows nothing about you, would comment “oh my god! You don’t look healthy. I’m concerned about your well-being.” I know I’d be very pissed and it would make me feel extremely insecure and probably cause mental health issues where there might be none. Obviously she’s flaunting it and everyone is in their right to express their opinion openly. But it’s one thing to say “oh I don’t like or approve” and it’s another to say “there’s something wrong with you”

Bitch I saw these pics and thought they were pre Rebel Heart or sum! She looks soooo good! Way more natural than her edited shoots make us think!

This. The God Control video was used as a video backdrop during the performance, and the World of Madame X footage was shown on her wardrobe before Vogue started (which was impossible to see if you sat far away in the theatre like me lol)

No honey we weren’t talking about you. ?

That applies to most people on social media. She was hiding it cause she got a horrible one at the end of 2018 when she made the surprise NYE appearance. That thing was grotesque and it probably took quite a while to be fixed. It looks weird from the side cause her thighs are not wide enough for such a big ass. It’s a bit too big for her.

I'm glad she's finally showing her butt, after three years of always wearing outfits that hide it (even the Madame X Tour costumes hide her ass). It's obvious that the surgeon made some mistakes, especially in profile it looks very ugly, but I never understood why she was hiding it if she's proud of it. Anyway, she looked good! During her birthday in Italy she looked better, but she doesn't look bad this time either.

OMG...call the priest, she needs an exorcism

OMG I DIDN'T NOTICE IT BEFORE!!! Is she flying???? Madame ❌ is a spider ?️?️

Can´t wait for "extreme occident"

Yay the new one looks better!

Yay! Frozen is back to being black and white!

What a horrible comment and an affront to her butt! It's obvious that it works like a rice heating pad, throw it in the microwave for 90 seconds and it's ready to go!

Sigh. I hate being this critical. That thing around her head at the afterparty looks like a plastic surgeon forgot to take the bandages off. Or I guess she was just going for a sexy nun look or something? Both looks are unflattering and either tired, cheap and/or uninspiring. I'm going to go on with my life pretending this night never happened.

Can't wait!!

I miss her smile... (can she smile, still? No shade, really).

I want something new, a new sound, something we never heard before
