I'm sleep walking, and you just bout woke me up! Celine..., just keep me in my nightmare


G'night

No matter how one feels about her, no one can deny that Madonna has made some kind if impact with music and society in general and anyone who doesn't realize that must have been living under a rock for the last 20 years. I like Madonna's music, she's made some of the best songs in the last 21 years but for me Prince is light years ahead of her because he has the whole package as an entertainer and a musician where Madonna's just an entertainer. Not a bad one, but just one. Just my 2 cents.

MA who?

Wow, ANOTHER Prince V Madonna thread, i love these so much. Its not like this ground doesnt get covered every single week. Who started this dumb ass thread, you should be ashamed of yourself - idiot.

It seems to me that most Prince fans have a real chip on their shoulder when it comes to Madonna. Can't bring themselves to do anything but hate on her, but there are a select few of us out there who have the perspective to be able to see each for what they are, and love them both seperately. I love Prince, and I love Madonna. Both different in what they do. Both talented. both successful. both great performers. Both great music icons of our time. Cant we just leave ita at that. You dont see madonna fans coming on here or madonna sites for that matter hating on Prince, so why do so many pathetic prince fans feel the need to do the same on here time and time again. This site has really gone downhill in the past few months. Nothing interesting being discussed, just "my music icons better than your music icon".....wake up morons and stop acting like kids.

Well excuse me, i didn't realise that this was going to be ANOTHER prince vs madonna thread. I didn't expect to receive a bunch of dumb-ass comments either; i thought i was asking prince his fans a legitimate question, hoping they might share their thoughts about his level of popularity. It was of interest to me because i know that prince and madonna are comparable. Besides, what people think and have to say about this issue today is not the same as yesterday.

let me guess, you like Like A Prayer because Prince wrote/composed/produced and played the guitar, but did not take credit, right?

her sales and success throughout the years proves, Like A Prayer is not her only song

OK maybe in hindsight I was a bit harsh on you - the thread itself wasn't directly pitching one against the other, its just that these threads inevitabley just turn to the bashing of another artist and its pointless. My complaints are directed towards those who simply can't accept other people liking another artist. Its like a few months back we had endless Michaael Jackson Vs Prince threads, now these seem to have turned to Madonna. So called "purist" Prince fans are obsessed. Its like they have a chip on their shoulder that prince was never as commercially successful as either MJ or Madonna, and to exorcise this they have to simply dismiss them as talentless, and insult them, simply because they're "not as good as prince" - jeez set your mind free people - open your mind up to the possiblitity that other artists can be talented and successful too - this doesn't detract in any way from princes talent or acheivements.

Did rock just die?

Think again. She writes her own music like Ozzy writes his. She may come up with a line or two, or sing some semblance of a chorus to an actual songwriter. That's it.

Then she shows her boobs and all is forgiven. Ozzy shows his, and he's shamed.

Luv & Peace,

Just her only good one.

Was Prince really involved with the tune? If so, that explains why it's the one song by Madonna that I actually somewhat enjoy.

Actually it's Prince singing the song, but Madonna took it.

sloopydrew4u said:

No, she writes the lyrics as she's said before. The reason there's credit for a songwriter along side her in the credits is because they write the music due to the fact Madonna is not a musician.
WHen was the last time Madonna showed her breasts? seems like a decade ago, yet you people still have to use that as your only defense. Pretty lame.

sloopydrew4u said:

Prince was not involved with that song whatsoever. He had a featured track on the album which was a duet with him and Madge and that is that.

jayaredee said:

You guys are getting it confused with 'Justify my Love'.

Friend of Prince, Lenny Krafitz, wrote that one. She stole it outright.

Wait...up..., more like this

Ingrid Chavez, a singer who had worked with Prince, sued for royalties from this, claiming she wrote it with Kravitz. It was settled out of court and Chavez got a composer credit along with Kravitz and Madonna.

Where did anyone bring up Justify my love? He wrote the song FOR her, how the fuck did she steal it.

jayaredee said:

You're too quick, check back to my edited message. You know its like 10 years old, give me a break.

"Ingrid Chavez, a singer who had worked with Prince, sued for royalties from this, claiming she wrote it with Kravitz. It was settled out of court and Chavez got a composer credit along with Kravitz and Madonna."

Rockability said:

Even more interesting:

"Meanwhile, Chavez sued Lenny Kravitz for not giving her credit for co-writing Madonna's Justify My Love. Chavez's style consists of breathy spoken passages over heavy dance beats and this can be clearly heard in the Madonna track. Chavez is quoted as having said that Kravitz didn't write any of the lyrics and only came up with the phrase justify my love. She is also reported to have said that Madonna only changed one line of the entire song. She was finally given credit for the lyrics plus a rumoured couple of million dollars in an out-of-court settlement " - http://www.leninimports.c...havez.html

Rockability said:

Ok so what does this have to do with anything?

Rockability said:

Ok well in the credits it siad it was written by Lenny Kravitz and additional lyrics by madonna, in this case the one line. It's not like Madonna was taking huge credit for that song anyways.

jayaredee said:

Just the fact she doesn't write anything but maybe one line

She is basically a cheesy performer. Thats it, oh yeah, and a horrible musician.

Thank you.

Whoever reading this dumb debate between me and whoever wishes to retort should wonder:

WOULD Prince ever steal ideas or let people write his music just so he could sing to it?

Would Prince dance a song that wasn't his own with the same feeling on stage?


Thank you

Good night!

Rockability said:

This is Lenny's problem not Madonna's, jesus christ! Can't you read what you write? Madonna never took credit for anything in the liner notes. What the fuck are you saying. And it says she sued Lenny NOT madonna. READ, LEARN TO READ.

Madonna is a horrible musician because, she's not a musician. And for such a cheesy performer, she had a sold out tour and was charging ticket prices up to 300.00. Looks like you're just proving how little you know.

jayaredee said:

Why can't you Madonna Brigade knuckleheads admit that old bag is average at least as a live performer??? Also calm your ass down and stop getting so worked up by behind Madonna
At least DavidEye stays cool about it.....
