I just randomly remembered this video

Not cringey but very rude actually

Throwing stuff onto the stage is one of the most dangerous things for performers. So I totally get her reaction. 

[luluthecat 1,109]

Gosh, there’s just so many. I love her to bits though. 

“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people” really stands out as a moment that really shocked me, I couldn’t believe it when she quoted the values of the bloody NRA!

The Express Yourself / Born This Way / She's Not Me mashup from the MDNA Tour and the shade to Lady Gaga.

The next cringey moment for me was when she was telling the audience at the Bedtime Story Pajama Party to shut up so she could read them the storybook she brought. Why would a group club full of young people want to sit quietly while this old lady read them a story book? It's those little disconnects.. made the whole thing lame. 

I find that moment rude yet funny at the same time.

Madonna trying to read the story

Random lady: "You go girl!"

Madonna: "I will go if you don't shut up."

Just the way she casually says that. Also the event was full of contest winners and invite only people so that's why they had to sit there and listen to the story. But still, Madonna invited a bunch of die-hard fans to a club, had them dancing around and got them all hyped up and then expected them to just go from 100 to 0 when its time for the story?

Shade or not I LOVE LOVE LOVED it. I don't like the shady reasoning behind it, but because I love M and Gaga equally, and mashed up two fabulous songs, it gave me life. The meaning behind it is cringeworthy lol but that stupid gay fan in me is screaming out of joy because it happened hahaha.

The grillz absolutely, but most cringey when she tried to slyly put them on during her bit for SNL's 40th anniversary special, and then afterwards couldn't speak properly. I really don't get her obsession with the grillz.

This look. Circa Eurovision 2019. I'm not complaining about the performance just the plaits and "the strange old lady who lives in the woods and eats children" look. Please never ever again.

Well, i actually like that look

[Nahual 599]

In no particular order: many of her Instagram posts, the Drake kiss, the MDNA Tour Express Yourself/BTW mashup, the LMFAO segment of her Superbowl performance, B-Day Song, her involvement in the #TidalForAll video, and that one interview that was crashed by Courtney Love.

[MDNA22 1,166]

Drake 'performance' at Cochella, Bum implants, 2019 Graham Norton interview, Like A Prayer performance at Eurovision, MDNA Skin Care commercials, Bday song, many of the official remixes from recent albums

Her best work which to be fair is almost all of it is fantastic and love it but these points I can't help but cringe at

When did she do a bit for SNL'S 40TH ANNIVERSARY?

Only thing i've ever found weird is her need to drag God into sexual music. Some like it. Some don't. I don't. My opinion is valid.

Well, let's be honest here: she has roman catholic roots and that branch of Christianity is sexual af.

I should know, I'm Southern-European too and everytime I enter a church or see a catholic event it's: 1) naked hairy daddy blond blue-eyed hunk Jesus everywhere, 2) putting his "flesh" in your mouth, 3) wine-time becomes "drinking his holy bodifly fluids", 4) the immaculate collection conception being basically a virginity cult, and last but not least - 5) sex is extremely stigmatized and used as a means to appease God. So, sex and God are intertwined. Also, priest robes to hide the body because, you know, sexual feelings.

No disrespect if you're Catholic, tho. I do like seeing hunk Jesus.

• Anything to do with the S&S Tour (just a post-menopausal woman trying to act young).
• That time at The Grammys (I think it was The Grammys) where she showed Gaga her butt in the thong (totally classless).
• The lyric: "Jesus loves my pussy best."
• Her insane workout routines.
• Anytime she acts entitled to things (which is quite a bit of the time).
• Her artsy-fartsy ways.

I thought she was saying “Yeezus loves my pussy best”.

They’d already thrown it in the show earlier on so I get why she was mad there to be honest. But she is way too snappy at fans sometimes. 

Ok that makes sense

But still it was rude

Oh please. I knew there will be someone who's going to defend that kind of attitude. It is not nice to say it THAT way. Could've just walked away.

Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon revived the Barry Gibb talk show skit for the anniversary, and Madonna came on as another Gibb sibling. In the middle of the sketch she hastily and awkwardly slips on her grillz, and watching it I was just so embarrassed for her.

Oh come on! It's just funny.

Holy Water itself is funny.

It's in the lines of Where Life Begins.

Not Catholic. Other end of the Christian spectrum.  Probably it is my faith and love for Jesus Christ that makes me cringe at that Madonna aspect.  I won't preach though.

I get what you mean tho, I have buddhist tendencies and I absolutely loathe how the Buddha figure is often reduced in Western society to a "new-age, weed-legalizing, yoga mat" symbol (it even goes against the principles of Buddhism... lol)

Why the Prince performance was cringey? Maybe not her best... but nothing bad about it 

[brank000 2,145]

I love her to death, but...

When she talks politics..  She's always painfully uninformed (I guess the not reading newspapers, magazines and watching the news is doing well for her)

Madame X..the whole project. (and tour)  with an emphasis on that gatefold.
