that's still going on as some black people got offended in twitter because a white girl called madonna remarked her respect toward aretha.
and im still sure if janet or beyonce did it, they would have praised them to death.Madonna is the queen of pop and the biggest selling female music artist of all time!Comment

it never was an aretha tribute show last night after all.
i think people have got mistaken still.
she could pay respect to anyone if she felt like.
camilla did it to madonna.

she can make her personal speech on stage. its vmaMadonna is the queen of pop and the biggest selling female music artist of all time!Comment

Re: Madonna
While i agree that there was nothing offensive in that speech, Madonna should've stayed away from this. People are ready to attack her whatever she does, especially Janet and Mariah fans. I think MTV threw her under the bus by requesting to mention Aretha in her speech. I don't think Madonna cares about much because people who got angry aren't her audience anyway. What people should understand is that
it wasn't an official Aretha tribute, MTV asked her to speak a few words about her in her speech.Cha Cha InstructorComment

in my country, the haters who had been shading and throwing sht at her since last night were mostly mariah's and whitney's fans here online.
they just got angry and jealous because their idols were not there to do that.
how ironic!
as if they had to own the aretha.Madonna is the queen of pop and the biggest selling female music artist of all time!Comment

For sure, if Janet who reclaimed the respect from the people now did this storyteller tribute and if she talked about (let's say for example) how Aretha influenced her and the Jackson 5 and how Michael loved Aretha or whatever inspirational and autobiographical speech, she would have been praised for it.
It's really a matter of branding, Madonna with that look and those grills will court controversy and is most likely to be bashed as always.Comment

im like drop the grill right nowMadonna is the queen of pop and the biggest selling female music artist of all time!Comment

like it or not, madonna paid her triple respects to the black trinity:
Michael, prince, and aretha.
she did her job.
and at least thanked them for their memorable legacies.Madonna is the queen of pop and the biggest selling female music artist of all time!Comment

Originally posted by spiritboyWell, this is a win-win situation for both VMA's and Madonna. People talk about this more than awards and performances.
uhuh nods.
madonna can burn up anything to the ashes because of making controversy even when she did not intend to.
sometimes people just make it because bitch she is madonnaMadonna is the queen of pop and the biggest selling female music artist of all time!Comment

Originally posted by autumnwindOriginally posted by cheapthrillsIt sure came off as a tribute to me. MTV played a clip of Aretha singing "I Say a Little Prayer" right before Madonna came out,and then had a big picture of Aretha behind Madonna as she spoke.
Madonna basically said Aretha's impact was that she remembered one of Aretha's songs last-minute at an audition for which she was unprepared, but not before telling us how she was failing at every other audition, was hungry, and living in a crappy apartment. It was more "how Madonna got her start" than "Aretha impacted me." I get that she wanted to mention Aretha, but no matter how cute the story, that was an awkward way to do it.
theres no awkward place and occasion.
you are making a big deal.
maybe you got offended because janet or beyonce did not do it, but a white girl called madonna did.
lets face it.
I said nothing about race. You did.Comment
-
yes i did because this has been the race situation and thats involved.
i certainly think madonna gets discriminated and backlash from the black community because she is a white girl and paid respects to a legend on stage and it was not from beyonce, janet, sia, or any black artist.
in my country, those people were mostly mariahs and whitney fans, since there are very few of arethas.
arsenio hall did agitate the whole nation to block madonna from tributing black artists
so was the case not that?Madonna is the queen of pop and the biggest selling female music artist of all time!Comment
-
all right. i got you. i will stop here because i made my opinion and impression about it.
thank you all.Madonna is the queen of pop and the biggest selling female music artist of all time!Comment

Madonna opens schools and hospitals, raises millions for underprivileged children on her birthday and doesn't make news. She gave a personal reflection on how the Queen of Soul inspired her...her personal connection to Aretha's music..and she is being bashed. The problem is NOT MADONNA..its keyboard judges who look for only the negative while ignoring the positive. Shame on the haters."Complaining is an advertisement for stupidity"Comment

Industry folk like Diane Warren etc. were saying it wasn’t appropriate so let’s not try justify the backlash by making a stan war out of it. Madonna spoke about herself. It wasn’t a good move. People in general didn’t like it, end of.Comment
