@shinznay "thanks to gaga i know its ok to be different"

Wow. So if Gaga becomes a religious fanatic tomorrow like her creative director (the woman behind a big part of the Gaga persona) and says it's not ok to be gay, will your opinion change?

@1994fashionboy You're an idiot! Madonna has NOT always been copying Marilyn. Monsters are just going with that since it's their only ammo and they are too stupid to think for themselves. Madonna took an image of a woman that was already dead, a needy, desperate woman who the world looked up to and transferred that needy, victim image into a strong, powerful woman. I feel bad for Marilyn and all but she was a victim of her own fame, like GaGa will be very soon. Madonna is nothing like them.

[dinodavid220]

I like them both. I just dont get it. They both seem like great songs. Maybe Madonna is feeling a bit long in the tooth? Jeez...... SHARE THE GLORY

Back in the days when Madonna started there were lots of taboos.Talking about teen pregnancy , related pop music with church, inter-racialism even the way she dressed she had to overcome and risk of been banned in some places like when she went to Puerto Rico and while on stage rubbed PR flag against her genitals OMG conservatist wanted to burn her the day after.And still she did it her way and I think that is what sets Madonna apart and above.
