When did Madonna get so cheesy?

And then she sang John Lennon's "Imagine," accompanied by a video of sick and injured children from around the world.

Oy.

I don't want to live in a world where I watch Madonna sing a song from an electric chair.
Been trying to avoid admitting that she needs to call it a day, and retire. She's beginning to teeter on Barbara Streisand territory by shooting her mouth off about politics. I blame Guy Ritchie for this emphasis on violence. I like my old Maddonna concerts, pole dancing, masturbation simulation, watching her enjoy eatting a banana for all the wrong reasons.

oh please as long as i can remember Madonna has been criticized for something. they will always find something bad to say. & since you haven't seen the show you cant really say she is cheesy. i am sure the show will be great and i cant wait to go i will tell you all about after...

Madonna was born cheesy. She just acquired better production vaulues as she got older. But talented? Not even on Pee Wee Herman's worst day.

When did Madonna get cheesy ? Either when she made the cartoon video for "Who's That Girl?" or made the entire soundtrack for Dick Tracy.

Damn, I am getting old.

Oy is right....there are Rabbi's turning over in their graves right now. How is that even REMOTELY appropriate. Sigh. A good friend asked me to go with her to the D.C. show. No thanks, if I want to see that I just have to turn on CNN and her old CD's at the same time. Liberal media bias meets pop music....retch.

That "Imagine" song is so deeply strange. I just heard it again a few weeks ago, and the lyrics read like a Marxist fantasy: a godless society with no private property and an implied world government. How this is viewed as an innocuous, feel-good song I don't know.

If she wants a world where there's "no religion too," how can Madonna continue to do Kabbalah?

Vanessa: ditto on Barbra Streisand's territory.
Yaron: ditto on the lyrics of "Imagine" (I still do love the song, but when they use it as a prayer it makes me sick)

Madonna might have always been cheesy, but she used to do it with class. She was a bad ass, skanky girl, she knew it, and it worked for her. It was good bad taste, and it made her a superstar. What she does now is bad bad taste. She seems to think she has the power to change the world. You know when a pop star is no longer a star when they start acting like fucking Mahatma Ghandi (Bono so comes to mind). Imagine my ass, Mahatma. Seriously.

I think we are seeing a woman here, who has had some babies, and thus, thinks she knows how to solve the problems of the world.

"Imagine" no liberal celebrities...

Celebrities are under this delusion that if they command an audience for X (music in this case), that same audience will be interested in Y (ranting against Bush/Iraq, etc.). They might shut up when we stop giving them our $.

As Cora said,
"oh please as long as i can remember Madonna has been criticized for something. they will always find something bad to say."

Oh yeah, you better believe it. I can't stand her myself. However, I think the media have been far too kind to her for too long.

The professional music/film/concert reviewers usually kiss her butt and say how great she is, and her concert tour reviews are no exception, which is why I wrote a parody of such reviews here.

(In the future, I may be placing a copy of that parody on the discussion board as well - see link below.)

Even though I have hated Madonna's guts for many years, I did like some of the early 1980s music. I'd said she hit Cheeze-Whizdom with the "Who's That Girl" music video.

Well, some of the songs on her "True Blue" album (e.g, 'Love Makes the World Go Round' and 'Where's The Party') were pretty cheesy, but the WTG video just a more visible sample, I guess.

People like to give her a pass by saying that while her acting blows chunks in movies that she's passable in videos. Heh heh, obviously these types of people have never seen the video Who's That Girl. She tries so hard to look cute and adorable in it.
