Blue Skies

I totally agree with you @Blue Skies Being fans does not turn us into willless beings who will always praise what their artist does. We can also criticize them and that does not mean we should be classified by some extremists as "trolls." For example, I don't like to see Madonna spit when she sings Open Your Heart. Spitting seems unpleasant and vulgar to me whoever does it and we can say it without shame. Because fanaticism is not the same as submission. And many seem not to realize this.

I feel like that picture beautifully represents life in 2024 as well.

Yeah Madonna and Christina are my favorite pop queens.  It's not to say I love everything they do.  Like recently with M and the wheelchair incident and I wish Christina would put a little more effort into music.  But still big fans of both.

Love the song and performance.  I find it very funny and cute as well when she says at the beginning she's not taking shit off and then at the end tells she everyone to have a nice day.  

@Blue SkiesAlso, she knew there was a time and place and being at Live Aid with so many legends, she probably wanted to show her professionalism as well as her musicianship!

Yeah I think the saying have a nice day at the end is symbolic for how I see her.....  there's sweetness there behind the whole bad girl image 

@Blue SkiesYeah, this was right at the same time when Penthouse and Playboy published her early nudes before she was famous. She was feisty then and she still is now!

I always loved this song , the performance and her style there..... Her voice is so poweful on this performance

I liked this!
I only knew of this bad from that song Mariah Carey sampled.  

im not a fan of social media too.... no facebook or insta..... but yes for her fans have M on insta is amazing so you can have news  from her..... but we lost a lot of mystery and allure.....
 

I'm not a fan of social media in general so I would lean toward no.
 
From a fan perspective though it's easier to track what goes on with her and chat with other online fans about it.  Even if for me only on Madonna fan sites 

While I agree she has times in the film that her acting falls flat, but this isn't one of them.  Scenes likes this shine for her.  Hardly the most exciting scene, but she kept me engaged and interested.  I had forgotten about this scene. Thanks for posting.  I hope your day got better since posting this?

there's a terrible picture of a dog online
it's name is Peg
i bought a Bernard Purdie record for 50p
he's on that album

The whole Aja album is great 

underrated 

I've spent many nights dreaming of burying my face in her chest and well just staying relaxing there for a long time to avoid life.  Well still do.  LOL.  She has/had the perfect chest.
 
That picture is iconic as was her walk down the runway.  I did not know though charity benefited from that night as well.  Cool 

It wouldn't have been what I wanted to hear at the time but she turned out correct 

@Blue SkiesThat's right I forgot about that. In fact, I thought that happened at the Grammys or AMA's, but you are right, it happened at the VMA's that year.  Though, he didn't take the award from her.  He simply interrupted her acceptance speech, by taking her mic and blabbering on about Beyonce having the best video of the year.  What a schmuck he was (and still is).  It's odd how he still is able to get a lot of artist support (even from Madonna) considering he's gone off the rails. 
I also do remember some getting a little worked up over how Miley danced and was dressed in 2013.  Even Cher criticized her.  LOL!  Weird being I saw that performance and I've recalled far more risque movements and attire from years before even from men.  Hell, both Prince and Howard Stern both wore buttless pants in the early days of the Award's shows.  People thinking the MTV AWARDS show is supposed to be a "family type show" obviously have no idea how that awards show works.  LOL!

@Blue SkiesThey do air the show numerous times for some time after still.  I suspect it's "on demand" as well after it's original airing.  But as you said, it's been pretty boring for years now.  I never hear anyone kicking up any sort of controversy these last years for their appearance as Madonna has in the past. At least in the 80's and 90's, you knew someone beside Madonna would do something outrageous even if you're not interested in them.  These days, people are much more reserved on these awards shows and on a rare occasion barely make any noise after making an appearances.  And there have been a few times that I've heard some buzz on someone's appearance and/or performance and when I come across it, it really is nothing.  Most lip sync their performances anymore as well. 

You brought up a good point.  Pre I’ll say conservatively 2010 if it’s Madonna or somebody else you were interested in seeing perform or what not at an awards show….  You had to keep it on till they showed up 😊.  Or you’d miss it totally 
 
Although MTV used to air reruns of the awards show every so often.  I doubt they still do? 

@Blue SkiesYeah, the MTV Awards really has lost its appeal, but so has MTV since they've gone to reality Television. Even if she did put on an epic performance these days, very few people would be tuned in for it.  Then again, a lot of those performances that make any noise would go viral on the internet, so tuning in live is pretty useless these days.  I've not cared much about the awards show since the 2000's.
