The ugliest muscle in the history of muscle. Expecially those grotesque arms. Happy lip-syncing, though!

She's a bitch. It doesn't matter what age she is.

She's a bitch. It doesn't matter what age she is.

Now, honestly, what do you really think of her -- ha ha!
She does evoke strong feelings in people. I don't know why. I mean, she's merely a musician.
So, one can either like her music or not. No big deal.
I never hear people calling, say, Gene Simmons an asshole. Nice tongue though -- ha ha!
The visceral venom seems more often directed at women.
Again, one should focus on her music. And if you don't like her music, well, that's fine.

She's not "merely a musician". She's done many other things. She said it on American Bandstand when she started out - she wanted to take over the world. And she does seem bitchy to me, but I don't know her so I don't really know how she is.

Poor old lady pumped by cosmetic and medical doping. Who tries to look young. Everyone should know the limits there it's necessary to stop.

Yeah, we don't know celebrities.... We've no idea as to what they're like in their private lives. Not fully. Nor should we know.
I mean, fixating on celebs, of course, is designed to divert people. To get people to pay attention to things that are of no importance.
Celebrity lives are no more or less important than the lives of anyone else.
It's OK to focus on their music etc., etc.
And, too, I'm starting to prefer musicians who are political, who have something meaningful to say:

i personally like her a lot (maybe not as much as ben) but i think she was more attractive in the 80s than now (though i'd still hit it). i even remember sneaking into my uncles library to sneak a peak @ her 'erotica' book.

i can definitely see how people see a bitch- she definitely seems very assertive, strong-minded and very outspoken, but i feel like she deserves it. i still remember seeing her on television saying she "wanted to take over the world" and thinking "yeah- dream on.." then suddenly she was everywhere

as far as success goes? madonna killed it

I'd still beat her ass like a dirty rug. She is probably the biggest bitch that has every lived, but is still eat the peanuts!!!

Why is she "the biggest bitch that has ever lived?" The so-called definition (I mean, we can't say a word means anything no matter how we use it) of bitch is: annoying and whining female.
She is hardly whining.... One could say she is: bothersome and troublesome. The "troubling" aspect could be that she has added to our hypersexual culture, our sex-saturated culture.
Which is, to give a fairly accurate description, "... hypersexuality is defined as a dysfunctional preoccupation with sexual fantasy, often in combination with the obsessive pursuit of casual or non-intimate sex; pornography; compulsive masturbation; romantic intensity and objectified partner sex for a period of at least six months."
Has Madonna added to that? One can argue that she has.
Is it a bad thing? Well, coming from a conservative belief system, well, I'd say it runs counter to traditional values.
