Don't go for second best, baby. Put your ILM ARTIST POLL #31: MADONNA to the test.

Avoided most of the Springsteen thread cos I didn't care much and didn't vote.

There's a difference between saying someone is pretty/beautiful and panting like a horny teenager. It sounds juvenile and sexist to me, but whatever. I'll just pay attention to the actual results and ignore the nonsense.

that pic = wkiw

Again, I'm not sure where you've read anything like that in this thread, but whatevs.

i'll pray for you kent

freaking kirk cameron posting here all of a sudden

ac green

shocked shocked such licentiuousness would be on a madonna thread

such ribaldry

lol I can't hear/read the word ribaldry without thinking of Jon Lovitz as Evelyn Quince

While I realize she has used sex appeal

I misread this...

I'm not sorry, Kent
it's human nature

Je suis désolée
Lo siento
Ik ben droevig
Sono spiacente
Perdóname

i've heard it all before

Again, I'm not sure where you've read anything like that in this thread, but whatevs.

Yeah, not just here, but also the voting thread as well.

If anyone else wishes to compare me to a rabidly homophobic, humourless, fascist, fundamentalist wingnut like Kirk Cameron, well, who am I to object? Faced with such clever responses, I can only present http://noorigin.wordpress.com/2010/12/04/sexism-in-music-journalism/ and retreat to the altar to pray for your mortal souls.

In Jesus name etc.

oops, I didn't know we couldn't talk about Kent

Yeah, not just here, but also the voting thread as well.

Can you cite any distateful or objectifying posts? Because I've been mindful of any conversations dipping that way since I started the voting thread, and I must have completely missed whatever has turned you off.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT IN THE COMPUTER?!

lol

damn, I missed the opportunity to drop a Prince WHAT? on DL's french phrases

i for one am shocked SHOCKED at all of your behaviours *clutches pearls*

kent hasn't been the same since he found out that Like A Prayer is about blowjobs

While I realize she has used sex appeal and sexual imagery to market herself throughout her career, reading so many comments about Madonna's supposed 'hotness' is totally weirding me out. In the future I will have to stick to discussing Madonna strictly with women and gay guys.

wait, is there anyone posting on this thread that *doesn't* match this description.

I am a straight guy but I have been posting about the hotness of girls who've taken after Madonna tbf

Yeah, idg that being construed as horndogging and objectification, but some people have a lower tolerance.

well i'm leaving

can we just say that Madonna is beautiful?

Madonna is beautiful imo

Gross, some dude. Take your machoness elsewhere.

Clairvoyance tells me "Beautiful Stranger" got at least one #1, so I see good things ahead. My favorites today: "Don't Tell Me," "Bad Girl," "Oh Father." The appeal escapes me: "Like a Virgin," "La Isla Bonita."

i love la isla bonita but yeah the chorus is sortof a letdown

Can you cite any distateful or objectifying posts?

I was going to go through both threads and find some quotes, but besides being a major headache I really don't think anyone cares.

kent hasn't been the same since he found out that Like A Prayer is about blowjobs

Kent has written a song or two about blowjobs, so don't be stupid.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT IN THE COMPUTER?!

so is there any chance that that song, which is top 10-ish for me, shows up somewhere in the top 20? my gut says no, but the rest of me has been pleasingly perplexed throughout this thread and therefore can't quite figure.

I love the chorus to La Isla Bonita! Those backing vocals that chime in right after Madonna's lead and the harmony on the title... Makes me mswoon. Wasn't on my ballot, but I think the chorus is the best part of that song. Well maybe the bridge.

haha of course not. it's not even a 'song' really. xp

sigh.

in a weird way that song is the glue that holds LAP together for me.

I had a friend whose goal in life was to one day go down on Madonna. That' s all he wanted that was all. To one day go down on Madonna. And when my friend was 31, he got his wish in Rome one night. He got to go down on Madonna in Rome one night in some hotel. And ever since, he's been depressed. His life was shit from there on out. And all our friends just shake their heads and say "too soon, too soon too soon. He went down on Madonna too soon."

NYE party 10+ years ago, wee hours & everyone has gone except me, the host & our v drunk core group of friends, sitting on the floor of the kitchen singing along to La Isla Bonita at the top of our lungs

fun

Madonna is beautiful itt

tbf, that was Kent's car in the "Borderline" video. He's still pissed about it.

lol

Interviewer: "Act of Contrition," the closing track of Like a Prayer, has backwards masking and other mysterious elements. Did he have anything to do with that one as well? The credits only say, "Produced by the powers that be."

Madonna: Yeah, he did. He played guitar on it. He also played guitar on "Keep it Together."

Interviewer: I noticed on "Act of Contrition" that you have the choir from "Like a Prayer" reversed on that.

Madonna: Yeah, we turned the tape and played everything backwards.

Interviewer: Your idea?

Madonna: Yeah. And then, of course, the whole thing, the saying of the prayer (on "Act of Contrition") and everything, that was totally conceived of in the studio, in the control room. Pat put out a microphone, and I just started fooling around; and that was free-form, too. Whatever was on my head. It’s totally unedited.

oh Act of Contrition appearing in the top 10 wd not surprise me at all

i'd be a little shocked if any non-Erotica deep cuts show up from here on out
