Team Madonna

Eh. Great montage though. Gives me butterflies and a mind full of wonder ?
Guys 2021 is going to be FUN!!

Many of her songs were sung by Ashanti and minor acts from both Sony and Murda Inc., entirely and/or partially.

They are so naïve, they think we're not aware of their crimes...

I think when I first joined the fandom, someone had posted this pic on a forum and I thought it was photoshopped cos it's kinda weird and her chest looked huge...  I SWORE on my life it was an edit...
 
also was convinced 100% this one was fake too, cos the hair didn't look like something she would have, to be fair it's not very Madonna-esque...

I smile like Madonna. I have learned to have that gorgeous smile because of her smile.
Big and horsey. LMAO.

Oh...my bad darling I forgot that POSE was a show ?. Madonna would actually be (*cough *cough) amazing as someone bitchy. She would be playing herself.
All she ever said to me that I was shorter than she was. That cold bitch! I got no razzies because I can act. SHE cannot!

She deserved those razzies! Every single one of them!!

Why yes. Yes it is! I am the ORIGNAL Evita extraordinar! 

Anyone up for a game of MOE OR ROE?
 
 
She's so funny here. Everytime a contestant won a  CD player she would be like "Oh look a new CD player to play my new record on!" I love her 

My mama told me when I was young
We were born superstars....oh wait
WRONG SONG!
Express yourself!

Thank you! I understand your point completely. 

Oh my God, I love you so much for this question. I have a HUGE problem with the use of the word "narcissist" being thrown around like it is today. I studied Psychology for 5 years, Dark Triad Traits (those often found in Psycho/Sociopaths, which are Narcissism, Machiavellianism and Psycopathy) have always been one of my main focus in studies.

People don't realize that Narcissism is not taking 1000 pictures of yourself or wanting to be in the spotlight. At least, the clinical definition isn't. It's a lack of empathy for others to the point of harm. This is why that psychological trait comes from the Narcissus myth - he was so in love with his image that he drowned himself. The drowning here is the important part, it's what differs narcissism from just self-love, or even simple vanity. A true narcissist harms others but also often himself.

Madonna is NOT a narcissist. She's most likely just an Extroverted, Type-A personality which makes people very driven and ambitious, which we see everyday in work environments. She probably also places her self-esteem linked to her work, which is why she gets depressed when she's not working/is a workaholic. Then we have to look at the environment - years of fame and being catered to your every needs make you somewhat spoiled and a bit of a diva at times. This is even seen across all celebrities and non-famous rich people.
I never quite understood why Madonna has the reputation of being one. She's in the spotlight, actually she's THE spotlight - of course she's always going to talk about herself. What would someone expect from an artist who does very personal work? Her courage and strength also came from years of being against the social tide and (negative) social conditioning - a narcissist would never put himself in risky situations of public ridicule like Erotica for instance, because for a narcissist public reputation is all that matters. Without a positive social quota, their whole façade crumbles.

But now you say - "Yeah, well what about when she wasn't that famous yet and said she wanted to rule and conquer the world?? That's pretty narcissistic!!" - is it, though? Let's analyze:

1- She was a middle child, which are famously notorious for being forgotten and undervalued in the family dynamic. They often act out to seek attention because they all the positive parental attention being given mainly to older and younger brothers She even talks about this in the Keep It Together lyrics.
2- She wanted to be a dancer in the first place, singing or acting was never even her goal when she went to NYC. So we can assume she never had a primary goal of being that much in the spotlight, all the time.
3- She's American, and Americans are conditioned from a very early age to chase the "american dream" of making it big, thus forming a loop of positive reinforcement, especially for Type-A's.
4- That type of attitude/response is very typical of people with her personality. They want the success, not necessarily the fame or attention. It's a different thing.
So all in all, she's just a workaholic who wanted to make it big and she did. Besides, a true narcissist would never do all the (quiet) philanthropic work she's done, or even adopted a child that didn't mirror them personally (people with narcissistic disorders are especially notorious for always wanting biological children and almost never adopting unless it's for personal gain like child-slaving at home).

But want to know who most likely has a bit of Grandiose Narcissism? Guy Ritchie. But that's a whole nother story...

Sorry for the long thesis. haha

I dont want to ruin this thread with a negative question but is Madonna really a narcissist? I know it's not uncommon for most celebrities but knowing if she is or not wont make me love her less. Does she really have npd or just the traits of one??

Let's see...

Hi Madge!

I have a penchant for younger men.
Much younger men.

As a tribute to her Like A Virgin performance on the Blond Ambition tour, I once simulated masturbation on a big red velvet bed. I was just like her when I viewed the CCTV in the presence of the police just before I was released with a warning and given a 5-year ban from all IKEA stores.

Hi Madge!

This is her most underrated peformance ever! I liked it better than ROL
