trappedintime asked: I'll disagree again (cause I'm just like that), and say that her apperanace or age is being overblown and is only because she embodied sex for so long for so many. Does anyone care how old Paul McCartney or Tom Petty looked during their performances? Was all of the talk about how they were 60 years old? I think that's what I hate most about pop music. It's always as much or more about the look of the women performing than what they actually perform (which I personally don't care for at all).
And I’ll disagree with you again (cuz healthy, friendly debate is always fun!). Actually, no it’s not really disagreeing, because I see and appreciate your point. But my criticism was less about the way she looked and more about her actual performance, which was hindered because she chose to wear crazy heels and whatever (so I guess it was a little bit about the way she looked). BUT. You think people didn’t comment on Paul McCartney? The Cute Beatle? OMG, people definitely talked about how amazing he looks for how old he is. And I noted when I saw his show at Wrigley that his bravada with strutting across the stage after every.single.song got a little old. Here’s the difference…his show was amazing. And while he’s a little showy and cheesy sometimes, it was genuine and awesome. He did his Paul thing. But not his 20-year old Paul thing, but his aged-into-himself Paul thing. I’m in no way saying that Madonna shouldn’t dress a certain way or whatever. It’s not about that. It was about how she performed. And like I said in my first post…the show itself was pretty damn good! I of course liked her song selection and loved how she disappeared into a cloud of fog as her exit (that was really awesome). It was a fun half-time performance. Among the best I’ve seen. There was just something off about HER. And that, to me, anyway, was a smidge (or a sMadge…hahaha) sad.
Ultimately none of this matters…but it sure is fun to talk about.
