@escuipo Because she doesn't give a shit about kissing other peoples arse's. So what if he's a "real musican"? Plenty of them are doing well for themselves just like Madonna is doing well for herself. She's a fanstastic entertainer, visual artist and actually quite creative. And if you see her in other intverviews she's actually quite articulate and intelligent. Even if she doesn't have their natural ability good on her for being ballsy enough to go after what she wanted.
she had nothing to do in this seminar .... she does not have the faintest idea ofmusic because of that nobody paid attention ... it is pathetic that such a specimen has succeeded in making music only for scandals and show ass to the world
@Budaphly: you are right. I totally agree with you. I hate the artists who imitate other people's style like ...(I don't wanna mention her but I think you guys know who I am taking about !?!?) I'm sick of her. She born this way, born to copy.
This is why Madonna is a true artist. She understood the industry and she understood music and performance. She didn't follow trends, she started trends and made sure they would become popular. Not like today where artists are all riding the tails of other people's styles.
You base this on what exactly? Men are capable of thinking without using their dicks, would recommend that you avoid basing your ideas around cliches and see the world with your own eyes.
@blahdelablah Be that as it may, the fact stiill remains, that it's impossible for you to sprout any thought without them. Tell me, how bad is your "little" ego bruised?
It would've been a great decade for music, it started out really great with lots of edgy British artists, punk was getting airplay, then wham! All the record companies switched to Madonna wannabe's and the creativity went back underground until the 90's when punk broke with grungier edge. You can't blame M for it but many did, including me at the time.
@erwcat i was there!! Just seemed there was an explosion of new music Hip Hop,House and dance just to name a few, 1984 was a good year ...HOT summer.lol
Madonna surpassed them in celebrity, but there's no way you can make a valid argument that James Brown's place in music history is less important than madonna's.
actually if you read the facts, it was the record company and producers working with her that got her started. All her big hits she did not write or arrange. She just sold an image and it worked. people just want to believe and make someone out to be larger than life.
@ChesterDoraemon Elvis never wrote a song in his life yet it didn't affect his status, although I do have more respect for people who write their own music. Actually since Madonna has written a lot of her own material and she did write Lucky Star and a few others on her first album.
John Oates probably thinking: Who does this little bitch thinks she is ? Im a superstar, and she´s just a rookie whos been singing for less than 2 years
Dude didnt realize that this little girl would grow up to be the biggest female star ever
I never realized how prissy she was until now. I thought it was just until recently that she adopted this prissy, fake british accent. But she has always had this pretentious, fake voice. Its so annoying. When british people talk with their real accents, its CHARMING. When Madona does it, it sounds forced and prissy.
Madonna released her albums like a politician running for office. Always a new concept, new sound, new controversy, new look. All carefully crafted. No other artist, male or female, was as much of a careerist as Madonna. She lives and breathes it with such a powerful and competitive nature.
what a creepy goofy cheesey looking dork john oates was! but madonna, holy crap was she pretty. she still looks good today but even if she didnt, id love to fuck her just knowing she once looked like that.
@meathead2001 madonna looks like kesha ? first off madonna and kesha should not even be in the same sentence and second, notttt even. shes way more beautiful, classy and original. :)
AMEN to what he said omg... we had to have videos.. true.. but pop music is different from rock.. Pop can include all that acting and character making. Rock is more down to earth and we SHOULDNT be only signing people that are beautiful in the face, but music makers.. the BEST in the times before tv videos were not beautiful people but they were EXCELLENT with music and now ..we suffer in music because of how we choose our artists.
@LadyJadeLight Some videos are interesting to watch, but woe is you if you have a fantastic voice, but you don't have the "package"--that is, if you are average looking, or worse, ugly and fat. Mama Cass (look it up) would NEVER have made it these days. Sometimes the future brings cool things, sometimes it doesn't.
what can I say, i've been a Madonna fan since childhood, but it's in her interviews that I can really notice she's an intelligent woman. Compare these young Madonna interviews to other interviews of young artists nowadays, these people won't sound as clever as Madonna.
i grew up in the 80s and to me Madonna was the most beautiful woman in the world. I could never take my eyes off her back then, and even today i STILL can't take my eyes off her :-)
interesting I grew up in the 80s but never thought of the lycra & gloves fashion as cycling inspried (madonna's shorts "rossi cycles"), I guess it was.
Madonna was so far advanced than these idiots!!!! She saw the "Music Video" as a way of getting the music out there. It's 2010 and she is still making great music and selling alot of records and tour tickets. No offense Hall and Oates..........
MJ has always been very overrated. To these days all people know about him is moonwalking and Thriller...and yes they were both great but that man didn't evolve at all artistically. He was stuck in the 80's..... he was the biggest weirdo among celebrities and that is also the reason why he became so famous. Madonna was ground breaking for most part of her career.However, sadly, Madonna seemed to have turned into something different to what she was when she was young, she doesn't risk it anymore
@greattimed Rhythm & Blues in 1984 was much different than what we would consider to be R&B music today. Madonna was considered "urban" because as a white female artist she wasn't following the Pat Benatar rock formula of the day.
This was a couple weeks before she did her VMA performance on MTV. I wonder if any of those artists had any idea they were in the presence of the biggest female star ever and would go on to surpass all of them in music history ???

@Burritoability, u r the ridiculous one here cos Madonna Like a Virgin album was not even out at the time of this interview, as she's confirming in this interview...... so he was not obviously referring to that.
That's a very kissable mouth. I would like to spend about fifteen minutes with her when she was at that age just kissing. But I would ask her to brush her teeth first. And I would too.
No strings attached just a very very smart girl telling it like it is!! It was obvious at the time to see that she was going to shake up the industry, but she went on to shake up the world in the process!! To me she is the biggest icon in the world and will go down as the greatest recording artist to ever live!!
She's so painfully obvious, but it gets the point across...She's cool and aloof in a way...Like she knows something you don't. Like you haven't shaved or she doesn't like your outfit.
i know Madonna has been massively influential in the music industry in many ways, but so was Micheal Jackson. Not only that but was even able to do his music with a story from time to time and in my mind that's better than what Madonna has done
@sxv32idf when has madonna not told a story? she's addressed issues like sexism, homophobia, materialism, and different aspects of the catholic church. i know i'm gonna get shit for this, but madonna had just as much influence on music and pop culture as michael jackson. period.
@burbscinates Qualify your statement by saying in the US and perhaps Canada and England. Nobody had as much influence on 1980s pop culture than Michael Jackson. His was worldwide, growing up I liked Madonna alot and thought her style of dressing was hot, but I didn't literally leave anything I was doing to watch her on tv.
@dbastard1977 i'm saying madonna had more influence on POP CULTURE. things like style, censorship, women's rights, sexism, homphobia, and the "celebrity" as we know it. michael had a greater impact on music and the performing arts...not so much pop culture.
That was kind of rude when she cut off james brown, but she apologized. And i respect her speaking up & being fierce in that conference or whatever it was. She shows great strength. And for a woman. that is so hard sometimes.
@kramnrublaw Are you kidding me the 80's sucked ass. The only thing good about them were the Cartoons, Hulk Hogan, Madonna, Micheal Jackson and Prince. I thought the 90's were way better. Rock, Rap and entertainment in general got better in the 90's
@MrTUFFTALK hell no. so much of music today and the synthesized sounds you hear more and more are most definitely 80's inspired, just modernized. The 80's were the shit, but actually I agree that the 90's were better.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
MIchael Jackson blew this FUCKING WHORE right off the stage! Everything Madonna did was trying to catch up to whatever MJ was doing. Just watch Michael dance and it was PURE GENIUS. Watch Madonna and you see an average whore doing her whore moves like a slut. MICHAEL WILL ALWAYS OWN CUNT MADONNA.
@Hunkola I respect what Michael Jackson did, but his brilliance faded in the mid 1980s. After that, he just seemed to rehash the same music and dance moves and didn't seem all that interested in what was happening outside his bubble. By the 1990s, MJ was known more for the kid thing than his music. A tragedy and waste of talent. Madonna did pay very careful attention to what was around her and her numerous reinventions of style in both her look and her music and her performances shows that.
If this cunt came out before MTV, she would never ever ever have been given a record deal in a billion years for the simple fact she sucks. MTV has done such incredible damage to usic it`s insane. Before a singer or band would sell on how good the music was. After MTV it was all about image and fraud.
OMG, so glad to have found this. I was there that weekend at the NMS and was lucky enough to have "met" her and got her autograph. Also saw her at 1983 NMS perform on the roof at Danceteria. Amazing.
MJ will never be as good as Madonna becuase he all he always did was the billie jean, glove and moonwalk dances all the time; he never came out with anything new or fresh in his shows or music; Everytime he performed it was just the same old act over and over again! But Madonna; well thats a totally different ballgame; every album and tour had its own look; she constantly had something new and fresh to offer; besides Paul Mcartney will always be a better songwriter than MJ!
Madonna putting on a little English accent in the panel part is cute. I can't believe that artists got that bothered about music videos. It's all a moot point now, just try to find music videos on TV anymore in between Real World reruns and Jersey Shore, LOL
I fucking hate that, you turn on MTV which stands for MUSIC Television and do I see? Stupid casting shows and advertisements for ringtones. Over and over.
Because Lady Gaga is the closest of this generation you could get. If you are too young to relate to Madonna, who else could you pick? It's either Gaga or Pink. And Pink's music is too rock oriented to really compare.
how the hell did Madonna open doors for black people by doing R&B? Michael Jackson already had the best selling album of all time before anyone even knew who fuck Madonna was. Not to mention Stevie Wonder was already a multi-grammy winning legend in the 70s with a string of number 1 hits. The Supremes were one of the biggest selling female acts of all time when Madonna was in high school. Saying she opened doors for black people is like saying Justin Timberlake opened doors for black people.
@xgs724 agreed. Her own brother stated that she "sexed" herself up to sell records. She never grew up singing and dancing like Michael Jackson or even Celine Dion. Singing came by and she took the opportunity otherwise she'd be a prostitute and rightfully so.
@arielc1ful She never grew up singing and dancing? Hello she turned down a full dance scholarship to take a chance moving to New York. Just because she didn't grow up with drill sergeant parents forcing her to sing and dance from birth doesn't mean she wasn't a natural born performer. And what does her being sexual have anything to do with her being a prostitute. I guarantee she's more intelligent than you.
@arielc1ful Also even with all that training from birth Michael had, whose career faded out well over a decade ago, his or hers? His in case you didn't know.
@DUANEMUSIC1 um hellllllll no u must have lost ur damn mind... she had absolutely nothin on him...at all she can barely sing witout the stupid voice they put on.... cnt believe u actually said that
TALENT...AND DATS PRETTY MUCH IT! MADONNA IS A WAAAAY BETTER STAR! AND IF U DONT LIKE HER DEN, STOP WATCHING HER VIDS! GET A LIFE! RUDE YOUTUBE VEIWERS! >_<
@DUANEMUSIC1 I completely disagree, but then I'm not American, most non American people especially those who lived at that time would disagree with you statement. Disagreeing with you doesn't mean that people are rude. Madonna cannot really sing all that well and Michael Jackson could, however, she had stage presence and a good marketing strategy. I liked Madonna in the 80s when I was growing up and she really is an entertaining character but there should be no comparison to MJ at all.
@SeanAvolio Yeah, both her singing and dancing "skills" are outta worldly!!!! I'm sure people all over the world will be building monuments in her honour, when she goes!!!
@arielc1ful Urm excuse me but that's why I find Madonna's success more admirable than somebody like Celine Dion. She came into it relatively late with all the odds stacked against her and she still made it, that shows strength of personality and will plus she's still here. And so what if she "sexed things up", didn't Mick Jagger in the 60's with the Rolling Stones, what do you think "I Can't Get no Satisfaction" is about?
@xgs724 I don't think that's what she said. Madonna's point was that she was a big part in people getting away from placing artists in hard and fast music genre catagories.
If you go back to the 1930's, singing and dancing in film was a mandatory requirement for actors so this whole music video performance conceptually is'nt new. It was new for television but not film makers. A lot of actors in the 1930's did'nt like tha idea but they did it to work.
Madonna is a great performer, she can dance, sing and has presence. I like most of her music and definately enjoy watching her. However there is definatley a lack of great strong muscianship and song writing in POPULAR music today. It is kind of a beauty contest.
Madonna says that singing is the same as acting, the camera is on you so what is the difference? I will tell you the difference- if you are just acting and not playing music- that means you are not playing music? (Hello!) AND the bigger differnece, Madonna, would be that in your case (for example) you can't act. When the cameras are on you and you are not performing (music) you bomb. Huge difference! It's not the same, dear!
@Burritoability She didn't say that AT ALL. Madonna's argument was that when you are on stage and singing a song you have a persona for that song. So in that sense you are acting (for instance, you may be singing about heartache, although at that very moment you are happily in love). So what's the difference between a live performance of a song and someone recording that live performance and putting it on tv? Most videos at the time were just the band playing the song anyway.
That's a very kissable mouth. I would like to spend about fifteen minutes with her when she was at that age just kissing. But I would ask her to brush her teeth first. And I would too.
It depends on the type of "show" you do. If you're pretending to be something other than yourself and you give "it" a different name, then you're acting. If you're performing or singing as yourself you're not acting. Performing, yes, acting, no. That's why ppl in movies "as themselves" behave...as their selves.
@GazMysticism Yeah but this bitch doesn't deserve anything nice so I decided to point out that she looks like a shriveled up grandma now. Is that ok? Or should I just be quiet about it.
I guess if thats what u think then thats up 2you,personally i think shes an incredible woman with depth intelligence strength humour compassion,she luks pretty sexy 2me i have nothing but respect for Madonna,its a pity u cudnt see what i see open ur eyes
@GazMysticism I met her. She's a cunt. I am a fan of her work though. And she gave me my first real hard on's when I was a kid. The fact is this. Madonna would treat you like a peon. She's probably a bit nicer now since she is elderly but damn, the woman is an asshole. F her.
Visionary since the very beginning!
That is why she is an icon!

i know Madonna has been massively influential in the music industry in many ways, but so was Micheal Jackson. Not only that but was even able to do his music with a story from time to time and in my mind that's better than what Madonna has done
sxv32idf 1 year ago
@sxv32idf when has madonna not told a story? she's addressed issues like sexism, homophobia, materialism, and different aspects of the catholic church. i know i'm gonna get shit for this, but madonna had just as much influence on music and pop culture as michael jackson. period.
burbscinates 1 year ago 3
@burbscinates Qualify your statement by saying in the US and perhaps Canada and England. Nobody had as much influence on 1980s pop culture than Michael Jackson. His was worldwide, growing up I liked Madonna alot and thought her style of dressing was hot, but I didn't literally leave anything I was doing to watch her on tv.

@dbastard1977 i'm saying madonna had more influence on POP CULTURE. things like style, censorship, women's rights, sexism, homphobia, and the "celebrity" as we know it. michael had a greater impact on music and the performing arts...not so much pop culture.

MIchael Jackson blew this FUCKING WHORE right off the stage! Everything Madonna did was trying to catch up to whatever MJ was doing. Just watch Michael dance and it was PURE GENIUS. Watch Madonna and you see an average whore doing her whore moves like a slut. MICHAEL WILL ALWAYS OWN CUNT MADONNA.
Hunkola 1 year ago
@Hunkola I respect what Michael Jackson did, but his brilliance faded in the mid 1980s. After that, he just seemed to rehash the same music and dance moves and didn't seem all that interested in what was happening outside his bubble. By the 1990s, MJ was known more for the kid thing than his music. A tragedy and waste of talent. Madonna did pay very careful attention to what was around her and her numerous reinventions of style in both her look and her music and her performances shows that.

MJ will never be as good as Madonna becuase he all he always did was the billie jean, glove and moonwalk dances all the time; he never came out with anything new or fresh in his shows or music; Everytime he performed it was just the same old act over and over again! But Madonna; well thats a totally different ballgame; every album and tour had its own look; she constantly had something new and fresh to offer; besides Paul Mcartney will always be a better songwriter than MJ!

Because Lady Gaga is the closest of this generation you could get. If you are too young to relate to Madonna, who else could you pick? It's either Gaga or Pink. And Pink's music is too rock oriented to really compare.

how the hell did Madonna open doors for black people by doing R&B? Michael Jackson already had the best selling album of all time before anyone even knew who fuck Madonna was. Not to mention Stevie Wonder was already a multi-grammy winning legend in the 70s with a string of number 1 hits. The Supremes were one of the biggest selling female acts of all time when Madonna was in high school. Saying she opened doors for black people is like saying Justin Timberlake opened doors for black people.
xgs724 1 year ago
@xgs724 agreed. Her own brother stated that she "sexed" herself up to sell records. She never grew up singing and dancing like Michael Jackson or even Celine Dion. Singing came by and she took the opportunity otherwise she'd be a prostitute and rightfully so.
arielc1ful 1 year ago
@arielc1ful She never grew up singing and dancing? Hello she turned down a full dance scholarship to take a chance moving to New York. Just because she didn't grow up with drill sergeant parents forcing her to sing and dance from birth doesn't mean she wasn't a natural born performer. And what does her being sexual have anything to do with her being a prostitute. I guarantee she's more intelligent than you.

@DUANEMUSIC1 I completely disagree, but then I'm not American, most non American people especially those who lived at that time would disagree with you statement. Disagreeing with you doesn't mean that people are rude. Madonna cannot really sing all that well and Michael Jackson could, however, she had stage presence and a good marketing strategy. I liked Madonna in the 80s when I was growing up and she really is an entertaining character but there should be no comparison to MJ at all.

@arielc1ful Urm excuse me but that's why I find Madonna's success more admirable than somebody like Celine Dion. She came into it relatively late with all the odds stacked against her and she still made it, that shows strength of personality and will plus she's still here. And so what if she "sexed things up", didn't Mick Jagger in the 60's with the Rolling Stones, what do you think "I Can't Get no Satisfaction" is about?

@xgs724 I don't think that's what she said. Madonna's point was that she was a big part in people getting away from placing artists in hard and fast music genre catagories.

If you go back to the 1930's, singing and dancing in film was a mandatory requirement for actors so this whole music video performance conceptually is'nt new. It was new for television but not film makers. A lot of actors in the 1930's did'nt like tha idea but they did it to work.

Madonna says that singing is the same as acting, the camera is on you so what is the difference? I will tell you the difference- if you are just acting and not playing music- that means you are not playing music? (Hello!) AND the bigger differnece, Madonna, would be that in your case (for example) you can't act. When the cameras are on you and you are not performing (music) you bomb. Huge difference! It's not the same, dear!
Burritoability 2 years ago
@Burritoability She didn't say that AT ALL. Madonna's argument was that when you are on stage and singing a song you have a persona for that song. So in that sense you are acting (for instance, you may be singing about heartache, although at that very moment you are happily in love). So what's the difference between a live performance of a song and someone recording that live performance and putting it on tv? Most videos at the time were just the band playing the song anyway.

It depends on the type of "show" you do. If you're pretending to be something other than yourself and you give "it" a different name, then you're acting. If you're performing or singing as yourself you're not acting. Performing, yes, acting, no. That's why ppl in movies "as themselves" behave...as their selves.
