It's the Madonna apologists. They write their reviews of her performances and when they mention she plays guitar or any instruments with her rudimentary ass skills, they write it as if
she was really doing something!!!! Go figure....

if Prince broke out a trombone in one of his shows, i'd crap my pants

Could it be that they secretly want to mimic .

sinisterpentatonic said:

Thanx penatatonic. My sentiments. Cuz it looks cool. Performers who aren't real musicians ie Andre 3000 knows holding a guitar gives the "appearance" of musicianship. As sinister pointed out, this is nothing new. Just ask The Monkees. At least Alicia Keys is a real musician, so I have no doubt she can actually play guitar. Most people who are good at piano can play guitar and visa versa. I would love to see Alica get down on the bass actually, with her fine self.

I will get down on that fine butterscotch sista!!!!

blackguitaristz said:

It' interesting that you guys find her to be good looking. I will say that now she is trying to look a little more ladylike.

Madonna rolling around in a wedding dress and the Madonna Brigade thinks that crap is genious!!!!

meltwithu said:

Now its on Madonna? Ok, Im not defending her.

gman1966 said:

That's a pretty slanderous remark towards Madonna fans. That's like saying Prince fans think it's genius that he wears high heels, it's stupid to talk nonsense

Hotlegs said:

I always thought Alicia looked super-good.

i have a fucking guitar in my hands right now, which is why i felt a little when i saw this thread.

the strings need changing though.

jayaredee said:

That's what I love about the Madonna Brigade you are all so sensitive!!! By the way that comparison you just made is stupid!!! How does rolling in a wedding gown that is SUPPOSE to be a performance comparable to the fact that Prince wear high heels??? Another thing stop being so damn sensitive!!!

Hotlegs said:

Are you kidding..Alicia Keys is a beautiful Black Woman!!!

jayaredee said:

i'm just saying....if vanessa del rio's been doing porno movies for 25 years, I don't think anybody would take her seriously if she did Romeo and Juliet with her clothes on--hence, 25 years of Madonna exhibiting NO MUSICAL INCLINATION WHATSOEVER overshadows the fact that she now wants to show her guitar-by-numbers musical side. Prince has always hada guita in his hand, but like i said the day he pulls out a trombone or a saxophone in the middle of a concert, i'm leaving.

gman1966 said:

She's s pretty white-black girl.

meltwithu said:

lol i wanna kno too...i'm all like since when does andre play guitar? and alicia? but at least andre played kinda good..when alicia did it on bet she messed up a lil....but its all goody good and nice to see them tryin..as for madonna..i've heard that she plays but never seen it..is she a little good?

Wait till y'all see me get down on the 6-string!

sinisterpentatonic said:

Hey man, Elvis was a great rhythm guitarist . Although he did only use the thing as a prop at the end of his career.

gman1966 said:

Nobody's sensitive, it's just that it sounds like you call Madge fans stupid by your remark that we call her a genius when she rolls around in a wedding dress, that's just stupid. In fact no Madonna fans call her a genius, smart maybe but not a genius.

meltwithu said:

That's what you call being closed minded.

jayaredee said:

LOL...don't bother trying to argue with Gman1966.He appears on EVERY Madonna-related thread,bashing her and everything she does.He even admitted that he does it just to piss off her fans,so no need to take him seriously.Secretly,i bet he's a huge fan,lol.

DavidEye said:

Ok david thanks for telling me, now i won't have to waste my energy over it. And yes i think he's a fan too.

jayaredee said:

DavidEye said:

Hey it's the Captain of Madonna Brigade himself, my man DavidEye...I don't bash everything about Madonna. Just the fact her ass sucks as a live performer!!!

gman1966 said:

lol,here we go again

DavidEye said:

Hey DavidEye what Madonna board do you frequent the most? So I can follow you there and raise some hell!!!

meltwithu said:

Why you ask - because it makes them appear to be real musicians when in fact they are only entertainers. Say what you want about Alicia, the girl can sing, play and write. She doesn't need to hold a guitar to prove that to me. Madonna on the other hand.....

kisscamille said:

Ok. I will give you that. She does write her own brand of pop soul music. Now, if the music stands the test of time is another story.
