Do you like Madonna?
 

I've been into ayu for so long I havent catched up on my Madonna...shes comming out with a new remix album and she is also having her "Nothing Fails" single out on the 9th....I'll have to get these!

Here is the cover to her new photobook "Nobody Knows Me"

For me, the answer isn't in the poll, I used to. A lot really. I mean, uhm, almost as much as I like Ayu now. ^_^ But she went wierd on me and I kinda grew away from her. So if you can put "I used to" in your answers above, I'll vote. ^_^

that also same goes to me...i really like her before but just after she married she just seem different to me and music is all good but is just weird..iunno :shrug

nooooo wayyyy @.@

I liked her "Ray of Light" album.. that's it. I don't like her at all now.

Ashley

i don't like her. don't know why either. maybe it's because she's really ugly, lol.

sicne she's ayu's idol..i'd like her too..hahahha

shes ayu's idol? I knew her arena tour reminded me of Madonna's drowned world tour.

I know Ayu at least likes her a little, but my sources say that Globe's front lady is her favorite.

I used to be quite a big fan of Madonna some time ago (yes... I admit that! lol... ), but with Madonna's recent songs, and co-production in one of Britney's recent music videos, I'm not as much a fan as I used to.. but she's still a good artist :) !

She's hot and sexy. She's so strong and sweet. She also have a powerfull voice. I want to be her husband :D

Hi The Eye I got at last oneself thereon splendid forum (^__^), I it have not for a lot of now time there now it promises that something will write already soon...

Madonna is like ayumi : an icon gay

i love her of course

if madonna wasnt here, there will be no ayumi, no britney, no shakira, etc

MADONNA IS THE QUEEN!

I've been a Madonna fan for a long time...and I think she's a very attractive woman. Her lyrics are very inspiring to me, her music different every time you hear it, (kind of like Ayumi) and image is constantly changing.

Of course, she doesn't exactly have the same shock value that she use to, (Like a Virgin LIVE and Like a Prayer spring to mind?) but she still finds a way to be different from everyone else. And I could care less about her singing with Britney Spears. Whatever floats your boat. It doesn't make me think any less of her.

I love Madonna, she is a role model/icon for me and so many other people around the world. I love her music and I guess it's really because she really was and still is quite the revolutionary in the music industry. Madonna rocks!

I like a couple of her William Orbit produced tracks like "Frozen." And the Above & Beyond remix of "What It Feels Like For A Girl" is excellent, but other than that, not really into her.

nope......no american artists for me.....

I'm glad lots of you here like her.

madonna rox!!
and shes been rocking since young age and shes still rocking now!! ^_^
i think shes a perfect role model!!

some of her music is good like "Like A Prayer" but the rest is sorta bad IMO. She tries too hard to be "different" and be innovative, when she's just a has-been. Also, her career has been carried more by controversy she's created than her actual vocal talents. Plus, did I mention her acting sucks?

I became a Madonna fan at age 8, I saw her live when I was 12.

I cried.

I'm still a huge fan. She's amazing, she revolutionized, and that girl can really entertain.

no offense but she tries to be too sexy its degrading! the brittany modonna christina kiss doesnt really help.....

she's not bad
but i love the song "frozen" so much

even ayu likes her :)

Re: Do you like Madonna?
 

Not at all, she's getting anoying...

obviously i like her.... coz she is hot and she can mix up her body and her voice babe :P

Wow I know i'm gonna get flamed for this.....

Madonna's best was Ray Of Light, great album. She is the biggest sell-out now... come on Britney and Madonna are both selling out. The only reason Christina isn't cause she has a voice. Britney and Madonna don't have that voice so they have to save their careers by kissing each other. Thats when I ultimately realized that American Mainstream is going down the craphole. It truly makes me sick... (got completely off topic)

and... at least Christina has enough common sense to change her image like Madonna.

Britney is ALWAYS Blonde!!! If she doesn't get a new hairdo and keep it.. grrrr......

I found myself addicted to die another day... that american life album sucked... rapping about lattes!? :rolleyes I also feel uncomfortable listening to what has now become a gay icon... it just isn't always the best thing to do...

I like Madonna. Although I feel some of her music is going off into bad areas, I mean, the American Life single was a terrible choice, and her promotion of making a video that gets banned is getting old.

But I love her because she does whatever the **** she wants.

yes i know! its so old....

I've never really listened to many Madonna songs, much less been a big fan of hers, but I have to admit that she does have quite a few good songs. I really like a lot of her old stuff (like 'Material Girl' and 'Ray of Light'), mostly because I have a few old Madonna cassette taped lying around and sometimes I listen to them. My parents were Madonna fans (though, not realy anymore, but when I asked my dad, he said that both my mom and him were huge fans of her when they were younger), but they don't really like her as much now. They liked her better before, probably because of her image. *shrugs*

I like her old music, but after the whole britney kiss thing.. O_o heh shes still cool tho

NO NO NO ! i do not lik eher

shes my goddess!

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. American Life is a great song, but the rest? Hmm... no comments.

I LOVE Madonna. I prefer her old school 80's stuff more than her recent works (Though I did like "Die Another Day" a lot and her duet w/Brit grew on me). Madonna doesn't care who likes her and who doesn't (there are SO many haters), she's just being herself. If that's seen as tacky or controversial, she'll take it because in the entertainment world, there is no such thing as bad publicity. I think Madonna takes Britney under her wing because they both went through a lot of similar things at a young age (reigning the pop charts, criticisms, etc). Plus, Madge said she didn't take up singing because she has a good voice, she's doing it so that people like her know that they're not alone; she's sending a message through music.

well some songs of her sound ok, she alright

No, I don't like Madonna, nor that fake English accent she has. She couldn't sing in the 80's, and she can't sing now. :|

ooh.. I luv Madonnna..
She went rock with the Remixed & Revisited album.

eh i dun see anything special about her -___-

I liek her more than I hate her. She'S anyway better than a bunch of other artists

Yes I do.

Madonna's music is great, I like her techno-ish style songs.

I'm a Madonna fan. She can come off as hard and unlikable in interviews, but she has two perfect albums (Ray of Light and Bedtime Stories) and so many great songs. More than twenty years after Like a Virgin she's still around and, as Confessions shows, making good dance music.

I actually am impressed with Madonna. She's what.. over 40? And she still looks fit and young and she produces impressive releases.

I love how she is constanly innovating herself and how she simply does not care about what people do think of her and does what she loves.

Yes. She is still the Queen of Pop!

of course

Love Madonna - surprised the group here feels the same way (for the most part).

:D

Yes, she is still doing well at 47, her music is also great.

HUNG UP! MUSIC! DON'T TELL ME! DIE ANOTHER DAY!

I love her music. well i love hr olde rmsuci anyway. i dont like her that much anymore at all. i think she just needs to reitre from the music industry alltgoether. but i do think that her older music was amazing. i have alot of her older albums.

Nah she still can produce quality work and I doubt she'll retire till she'll be a very very old woman XD

i hate madonna, shes so overrated. Not to mention shes crazy.

I like her music <3

I love Madonna :D She's number 1 on my Last.FM for a reason :laugh

Best. Artist. Ever.

Not really.. I like her old stuff.. but nowdays.. it's just scary.

yah like her old songs 2, but her new songs are ok i suppose
old songs better =)

yeah shes cool... I'm not a big fan or anything, but I like her music... and she has stayed strong through the years so... sure :D

her new cd is great! love the retro 80 feel :)

I like her new stuff but I reeealllyy miss the old Madge...

yeah i guesss...she's pretty kool^^

I think Madonna made a spectacular comeback with Confessions on a Dancefloor! It's great and I really love it! But I still think material from her Ray of Light album were the best like Ray of Light, Don't Tell Me ... those are my all time favourites!

American Life did poorly because it coincided with the Iraq War? That's what I heard ... but I still think songs like Love Profusion deserved MUCH MORE than the poor acclaim it received.

I don't really like her old material, haha, they're too retro for me! But now that Madonna's constantly reinventing herself, she rocks! And she's like 47? But she still looks SO SO SO young!

The only thing I don't like about Madonna is that sometimes, she tries too hard to be different like with her "Kabbalah" religion and some other quirky stuff she does ...

Yes I like Madonna. She has nice quality music. I'm not crazy for that Caught Up song but it is quality music. I'll excuse her for having anything to do with Britney Spears.

i loove her. she's my fav artist ever! the new album rocks!

I'm quite addicted to Hung up. It's on #1 as a video here in Europe according to MTV Italy =P

Hahaha, I can understand that. I heard 'Hung Up' twice on the radio during a day at work and I was already sick of it. That 'Super Pop' song was a bore too.

Actually I like Hung Up. Seeing a woman of 47 still dance and look like she's 27 is quite amusing.

the video for "hung up" doesn't do her much good. She's old now, and shouldn't wear those clothes anymore (although later in the clip she wears jeans, that's totaly hot!). But Madonna was the Ayu of her time. Madonna also had huge special lives and tours (and this inspired Ayu in her arena tour 2002), Madonna also changed her image/style/look every release and madonna was also considered the queen.
Ayu has been bigger in her homecountry Japan than madonna was in America, but since Ayu doesn't sing in english, she's not as famous as Madonna.
I hope that when Ayu is 47 she's still active like Madonna.

she's still HOT for her age.

oh madonna is good i think well...her old stuff anyways, i dont really like her confessions of the dance floor cd all that much.

I was never really a fan, but I did like her old stuff, as that's the stuff she was doing when I was growing up... I just don't like her new stuff, it's too much technical stuff and doesn't seem like real music, I don't find it pleasant to listen to, there's no balance, it's all techical-sounding for me. I don't like her new single, whatever it's called, I heard in on a CM for the album and she just butchered a classic with the way she used it in that awful track.
She does have a great body for her age, however she doesn't look young to me, all that exercising makes her face sharper and does make her look older than she is.

Honestly I've never seen a lovelier face of a woman aged 47. It looks young and really smooth. Could be the make up or some special cream or something.. don't understand much in this sector but I think she actually looks younger than she is.

Maybe it's just me who thinks that, but I have honestly seen women and men here who are older than her and they [natural way] look a lot younger. I look at Madonna and I think she's a lot older than her actual age. All those sharp lines on her face make her look tired to me - the same with the actress from SATC, Parker [?] I think her name is, she has sharp features like that too and she also seems to me older than she really is. Recently I saw some pics of that actress and her face looked more rounder and softer, she really did look a bit younger after she put on a small amount of weight after the show ended. I suppose I'm more used to seeing smoother, slightly more rounded faces here, which really does make some people look a lot younger, so that's what I go by.

It's not just you, I completely agree with that.

Donno. To me she has the figure even if she's not skinny and the face of a younger woman. Most women start getting wrinkles and puffy eyes. To me she still looks younger than she is.

is a very complicated theme of converzation....but...I AGREE
im' gay guy and before i knowing it I loved madonna....like many gay guys

i think that i love ayumi NOW for the same reasons....a special sensibility....for the ayu's image, change, style, songs.... all my gay friends loves ayumi...and all my friends that loves ayumi are gays.

i know that many heterosexual peoples loves ayumi,,,and childrens too (10-19)
but is the same with madonna,,,she is a gay icon...and many hetero people loves her too

i'm not saying the ayumi and madonna are just for a comunity and not the other....is very stupid say that....but the thing are like i said... between ayumi and the gays exists something special

I only like Hung Up & Like a Virgin. Her other music is.....*coughs*

I respect her as an artist for what she has accomplished but she's way too flashy with me. All that Kabbalah suff seems like a gimmick sometimes. That new video for hung up, made me kinda sick. She reminded me of my grandma at arobic class -_-

ROFLMAO

wow...i used like madonna but i kinda stopped listeing to her music ever since her MUSIC album...her music is getting worse i think...don't know why...maybe she's getting really old.
It seems like her career ended a long time ago and that's too bad!

I know! Somehow, i wonder why Ayumi attracts to a lot of my gay male friends! Practically all the Ayu fans i know in real life are gay. ^_^. I think there's something about Ayu......

At least we know she's pro gay because she hangs out at gay bars. (and more than once)^_^

If Ayu were one of my hags I would absolutely die.

She's been using Botox. Botox is a somekind of nerve toxin which in in cosmetic use can smooth out wrinkles and make you look younger. a doctor injects it in to your face with a needle and the effect lasts for a couple of months. lots of older celebs both men and women are taking botox shots. I read from the tabloids a while a back about Madonna going to a clinic to get her face done with Botox.
her 'Hollywood' music vid has her taking Botox too , cos it's what most people these days in hollywood do :P

anyway , I like Madonna's music a lot. both the older & never music. I'm a big fan of eletronic music and Madonna has some really talented producers working with her. I like her lyrics in 'Ray of Light' , especially on my favorite song off the album 'Nothing Really Matters'.

'Hung Up' is really good , I love the part where the music sorta stops for awhile and only the muffled beat remains. I'm not that impressed with the rest of the new album yet but that song is just so good :yes

I don't really like Madonna herself. I wish she'd try to succeed with her music alone , but she's always making up all sorts of lame 'scandals' to keep herself 'relevant'. kissing britney (and Xtina too , but no one cares about this lol) , her anti-war stance , her whole 'erotica' phase , turning english , her phony spriritual awakenings (first catholic , then jewish , buddhist on Ray of Light and now Kabbalah , whats next?) and etc ....

I really think that's just who she is as far as her political stance and her sexuality. She's just Madonna (off in her own category) :P

Yes. i think she's a great performer :)

i only like her song 'hung up'

Yes I love her!

Yes, her music is amazing!

Ditto.

"Confessions On A Dancefloor" was simple awesome, like a giant party on CD.

1/2 yes, 1/2 no since I'm not really a fan of hers but have to admit she's good. Her new album is great esp Hung Up.

I really do like Madonna too... but, I don't really listen to her music at all... I just like her. She is the Queen ^__^; I remember when I was way tiny, Madonna's "Like a Prayer" was the first music video I ever saw... I think I was a little shocked by it at the time... but now, as it was then, is one of my favorite Madonna songs ^^;

Hmm yeah I kinda like Madonna though I don't listen to her much. I remember getting hooked to her song, Frozen when I was 10 and now, I still like that song alot though I have not listened for ages. Hmm gonna request for the song now!

I like 'old' Madonna and her 'old' music stuff, but recently I've found interesting her new album 'Confessions on a dance floor' =]

I just became a fan of her music. I actually never listened to "Ray of Light," but I'm loving "Confessions on a Dance Floor." :D She rocks on that album; I love Madonna.

i did but i recently found out something about her that was quite shocking and i dont at all anymore

Madonna shocking? Well that's definitely the first I've ever heard of it....

:laugh

:lech no joke

maybe during her material girl phase.

I like her music and performance.

Yes,i like Madonna.

Eh, not really.

Her older stuff was okay, but her recent stuff makes me shake my head. The lyrics are horrible. I'm sorry. I don't mean to offend any fans of hers.

I've always liked her older songs such as vogue and Like a Virgin and I used to hate her stuff in the late 90's but I love it now. American Life was also a great CD that I don't think got enough attention. But I do own Confessions on a Dancefloor and that CD really is great. I love how the songs link together with no break so it really is just this continuous dance party. There isn't a single song on it that I don't like.

I love Madonna!! I love her music!!... and the fact she likes to cause controversy

Never Heard her.
Only saw a weird...movie...once...last year...on TV..

I think Frozen and Ray of Light were excellent! Madonna truly produces excellent work! When she released American Life, I think the single tracks in there were excellent, though it sold poorly because it went on sale just somewhere near the Iraq War (which was filled with vehement anti-war sentiments). But she definitely picked herself up again with Confessions on A Dancefloor. It's just techno, party crazy! She's really did an excellent job in blending pop, trance and techno with her album release this time. It's neither too one genre but very much quite a blend of a few genres.

Not to mention she's constantly striving to improve herself! Though I'm not very approving of her Kabbalah and her controversial nonsense ... but yup, she's really good!
