  1. The world is so sensitive. He gets a pass from me. Madonna loves the attention and will jump on anything and everything for more  attention.

    Let me ask a question. Who created HIV/AIDS? And for what purpose was it created for? 

    We never pay attention to the real issues in the world.

    And it’s true. He did take a lot from black musicians and in that context it is an issue because black musicians were not properly rewarded for their success.

    But saying that Madonna ripped off Whitney’s Heartbreak Hotel with Heartbreak City, when the two songs have absolutely nothing in common is ridiculous.

    I’m not sure what your age is and if you even existed in the 80s and 90s but Madonna did a lot to bring visibility of black culture and issues into the white racist mainstream. In a time when major white artists were not doing that and it was frowned upon.

    Some young woke people love to call her an imperialist and a slave owner for Vogue. But anyone who was actually in the ballroom community at the time will tell you a different story. They all loved her for bringing their art into the mainstream and being transparent where the inspiration came from. 
    She worked with ballroom performers (and made them rich in the process) and put the spotlight on them. She’s never been conceited about it and never claimed it as her own.

    Same with Bedtime Stories. At the time she was emerged in a multicultural group of people (Tupac, Melodie McDaniels, Carlos Léon, Spike Lee, Rosie Perez, Denis Rodman etc) and of course that inspired her. And once again she used this opportunity to shine a spotlight on black culture…

    Its so infuriating when people inform themselves selectively and not look at the whole picture!

    I can accept and agree with everything you said but I still feel Madonna is a fan of Whitney Houston and is inspired by her with few songs from rebel heart and during the bedtime stories era (Forbidden Love, Take a Bow) working with babyface back in the 90s.  the bodyguard exhale shoop shoop

    So he stole Whitney’s song? ??

    Seriously man! Systemic racism is real but you need to get a grip!

    I'm just repeating what was reported about him from other people during his time.  when he was alive he was extremely jealous of talented black artist and stole their ideas.

    What are you smoking? I’d really love to know because your post doesn’t make sense.

    Madonna is an artist and has the freedom to be inspired by whatever artists she wants. And if there’s mischief those artists are adults with a platform and legal teams and can take care of themselves. They don’t need randos to stick up for them on the Internet ?
    And when it comes to litigation it’s shocking how few there are (that we know of) for someone with her massive catalogue. 
    Madonna is very cultured and since her pre-fame days has had various sources of inspiration. There’s nothing wrong with that. Any artist with vast knowledge will draw inspiration, since the wheel can’t be reinvented forever.

    Also there’s no connection between Heartbreak City and Whitney’s Heartbreak Hotel. By that logic Whitney ripped off Elvis Presley’s Heartbreak Hotel ?

    all that Elvis Presley  has done is steal black people style and music

  5. I really think secret is about a new found understanding of life and existence.

    Even in like a prayer when she had a black Jesus; madonna has been woke for a long time. 

    and she is Islam

    "race is an idea, not a fact"

    Let me give you some real history. "Sixty-six hundred years ago, Shabazz tribe ruled the world, until an evil scientist named Yacub cooked up an experiment. Yacub, who was exiled to the island of Patmos with 59,999 followers because he preached dissension, interbred the lightest-skinned segment of the black race for hundreds of years. This resulted in a new race of blond, blue-eyed a people without morals or compassion. The new race set blacks against another and created so much strife that they were exiled to the caves of Europe. Two thousand years after their exile, God sent Moses to civilize the devil race."

    It's just Madonna acting black-friendly in Harlem while she throws shade at Boyz II Men and Whitney Houston at the same time after borrowing their sound to gather popularity after Erotica  :Madonna032:

    True, she loves to copy whitney houston prince really any black artist and madonna must be a huge fan of Kylie Minogue. she steals everything she does

    Oh, also... I would say this album is more a sister with Erotica than Ray of Light IMHO. A flip side of the coin. Maybe a prelude to Ray of Light in that she's staring to impart wisdom. 

    read tyler perry GIF by The Passion: Live

    Erotica is an album that stands on it's own, it has no sister. Bedtime stories and ray of light are sisters because the topics on both albums are similar.

    Similar topics

    "Survival" vs "Drowned World/Substitute for Love"
    "Secret" vs "Nothing Really Matters" "Frozen" "Shanti/Ashtangi"
    "I'd Rather Be Your Lover" vs "Candy Perfume Girl"

    "'Don't Stop"
    "Inside of Me" vs "Mer Girl"
    "Human Nature"

    "Forbidden Love" vs "Skin"
    "Love Tried to Welcome Me" vs "To Have and Not to Hold" 
    "Sanctuary" vs "Has to Be" "Swim"

    "Bedtime Story" vs "Ray of Light" "Sky Fits Heaven"
    "Take a Bow"vs "The Power of Good-Bye"



    "Little Star"

    I'm sorry, but I still see this album as her: "I'm sorry, I've been a bad girl. Now I'm good girl again. Forgive me."

    It's not a bad album (for me one of her worst). It has three or four amazing songs and the first Madonna's track that I hate: "Human Nature" (I love the lyrics, I really hate the music). Thanks God for "Ray of Light" years later. It was boring to be a fan during the "Bedtime Stories" era. Of course, this is my opinion, not a fact...

    She's not sorry in this album at all, it's human nature. This album wasn't made for her core audience on purpose. She wasn't trying to please her fans.

    I don't think it's much more than the sound of a woman cocooning herself in mellow sounds of the time, ready to be born again a few years later with Ray Of Light

    "Why do all the things I say
    Sound like the stupid things I've said before?" 

    Skin - Madonna

    I feel like Bedtime Stories and Ray of Light are sister albums. Ray of Light has more dance tracks but the topics on both albums are very similar.

    I thought she alluded to Secret being about being gay. I never listened to the album for anything profound.

    In the video, it does have gay undertones. I think a transwomen and lesbians were in the video etc, not sure. there are always elusions in her lyrics and music. I think the song is more about a new found understanding of life.  seeing life for what it really is, the secret is not a good one.

    but "Happiness lies in your own hand."
