Madonna not letting her kids watch TV is sooo 2000. I dont get the vibe she's that strict anymore. Look at the horrible music they listen to! Besides, i think all that no media stuff was rooted in kaballah, which she doesnt seem as much into anymore. Just my opinion.

Lourdes' Instagram is confusing. For a young girl fed on spirituality for kids, it is puzzling ! I thought the height of vulgarity in madonna was her fake butt but no,  actually it's her daughter !

Lola is my age so def fair game 

Omg yas fellow Madonna fan in his / her 20s. I thought I was the only one 

Yes! And we stan her best album Madame X. We have taste too 

Yes everyone appreciate the masterpiece that is Madame X!!’

 
Haters gonna hate, but Madame X just shakes it off

This.
Devil Pray was Madonna trying to recreate Avicii's hit songs. At least there was some uniqueness on the album version.
HC, MDNA and RH were eras where Madonna was late to the party. Timbaland, EDM and Avicii's EDM with folk elements.
People are delusional to think that things could have been different if RH was closer to demo versions. Not only she wouldn't have a hit, but most of the demos (especially outtakes like Never Let You Go)  were generic and basic af. 
 

I'm sure Lola and Rocco think we, Madonna fans, are a pretty pathetic bunch (I have met a few myself lol). It must be weird for them to see the level of idolatry/worship and obsession that their mum inspires in so many people... worrying too, like we have no lives of our own. Even Madonna has clearly encouraged us to focus on our own lives, and also kept her distance from us—which is understanble. Truthfully, she has never been chummy with us, nor really made us feel like we owe her anything. Which doesn't mean she isn't thankful, but I'm convinced that she's the kind of person who truly believes that everything she has is mostly the result of hard work and discipline, even if MANY people (collaborators, enablers, industry members, boyfriends, lovers, friends, and fans, of course) have been instrumental for her success.
But going back to the topic, Lola clearly takes after her mother in terms of "sense of humour" and bitchiness. Unlike other celebrities and their children, these bunch have no interest in even pretending to like the public. Actually, I always giggled at hardcore fans waiting to see Madonna before and after shows during the MX Tour... Seriously, the woman NEVER stopped to say hi. And they still stood there (often in the cold) anxiously waiting for her. That's what Lola refers to when accusing of having "no life". Also, seeing some fans literally celebrating the fact that she's bullying them is truly pathetic, and it does expose how ridiculous social media is (in a worrying way). 
I'm also not going to pretend/imagine Madonna's kids are nice at all. Especially Lola and Rocco. Mercy does look like the kindest soul, but the others... Hm.... Rocco is really just like his dad—a posh, entitled brat. Even his choice of clothing for the recent trip to Africa made me think how much his attire looked like a distasteful throwback to the British Empire. Yuck. Some trivia: I met Guy back in 2011 at an event in one of his homes in Fitzrovia (central London) and I realised how much of an upper/middle-class chauvinistic bully he was. I was only a uni student then and it was quite heartbreaking, as I only realised afterwards how clever and sophisticated his bullying had been towards me and some of my friends. Oh well, you live, you learn. But yea, these kids... Stay away people haha.

Funny that Madonna insisted so much on being a strict mother by not allowing her children to watch television, or by allegedly exposing them to art and making them read all sorts of books. Look what it leads to. This! ?
So dear Madonna, thanks for proving that we can all watch Netflix, never read books or go to museums, and be basic (even stupid), yet, decent human beings. Not watching tv clearly doesn’t make children any better. LOL #fact #lolaleon

I think Madonna is an amazing mother intellectually with all the French lessons and culture and literature and whatnot, but emotionally she must rub off some of her own diva-ness in them, lol.

I also usually refrain from talking about this as it always ends up with some fans saying I'm "spreading rumours and/or dissing children", but when she was living here in Lisbon there were TONS of stories about the adopted kids behaviour too. One of the most shocking ones I remember were that the twins used to go around Charles LePierre (the french highschool where they were studying) hitting other children - one twin held the kids with their hands behind their backs while the other punched them in the stomach. And this was told me by the mother of an acquataince of mine who works there so I 100% believe it LOL
Mercy seems to be the only one who isn't a brat, tho.

I don't particularly like "S.E.X." either. Even the title is super REDUCTIVE. In fact, I think "Holy Water" works way better in terms of its innuendos and overall sensuality. 
When it comes to Rebel Heart, it's pretty obvious that not only did the hacker change her plans, but let's be honest, things were a bit messy anyway... The amount of producers and songwriters was inevitably going to lead to a somewhat choppy and overloaded project. Don't get me wrong, even if the album is a bit all over the place in terms of styles and production, I do think it RH is one of Madonna's finest pop records. Melodically and musically, she delivered some of her most accessible songs; the fact that songs like "Ghosttown" were grossly ignored by the public and DJs at the time, to me, did show the degree of ageism, dislike and cynicism towards M and her work. Criminal. That song, if recorded by a younger pop artist, would've blown the radio at he time. 
Now, back to the topic of a new album, I question what musical direction she could take at this point. Her last 3 albums, together, explored so many different genres and styles that I do wonder what would inspire/motivate her these days. It's interesting that she's always said to like artists like Nina Simone and Billie Holiday, yet, that blues-jazz sensibility seems to still be absent in her musical experimentations. Would be nice to get something more intimate like that at this point of her career. She could even mix it up with something trendier and modern too. She revels in fusing and mixing styles, after all, and she's darn good at it!

Oh I forgot about that. True. Madonna is such a bloody liar, what kind of example is she setting for her kids. The sex book, now this ?

let’s not kid ourselves and pretend madonna has no say in her brand’s PR management. it takes two to tango.

I understand people’s love for the Avicii demos—they’re absolute early 2010s EDM bangers. But honestly, they sound very Avicii and not very Madonna... It makes sense to me why the album versions are what they are. They definitely have more of the Madonna touch/sensibility, if you know what I mean.

On MDNA my group saw her pass by, we yelled "Hi, Lola!" and she gave us the middle finger...

Hm he’s hot? ? 
But seriously, he’s a good lyricist, has a pleasant voice, and clearly works hard- releasing new music, collaborations and music videos quite often. Hardly a mediocre person. Reggaeton/or “this Maluma character” may not be your thing but I wouldn’t devalue the merits of his work just because of one’s personal tastes.
Also, no doubt Madonna collaborated with him because of his looks and self-confidence. Don’t forget the look on her face when she first met him backstage. She was THIRSTY! Lol

You may be right, which is a shame but also understandable. M multitasks but not to the extent she used to. After all, she has 6 kids, a bf, and they are obviously her focus. It’s interesting to think that she came from a big family and eventually ended up building a big one too for herself. Must be a loud house, I would go mad. Lol
In regards to the albums you mentioned, yea it’s definitely clear MDNA came about mostly as a contractual obligation, which was a shame. I’m one of the few who totally love that album—I find the mix of EDM and post-divorce blues bittersweet & lush!—but totally get people’s complaints regarding its promo and choice of singles. I truly think it isn’t as bad. Actually, due to the leak, I am inclined to think that RH has more of a rushed feeling than MDNA, in the end. Especially when it comes to the production (too many producers and songwriters at the table?) and order/selection of the tracks. It does seem like she tried to include as many songs as possible, which felt overwhelming and badly curated at the time. But of course, the frustrations and failures of/with MDNA and RH became even more obvious with the release of Madame X. An album that, in opposition to the 2 previous ones, clearly showcased passion, inspiration and pure love. Not very poppy but quite ‘pop art’ lol.
