You don't have to be a fan of someone in order to find them attractive. I'm not a fan of Kylie's but I can see she's attractive. Millions of men who have no interest in her music would agree with me on that. Madonna is different. You just don't find straight men who fantasize about her. She doesn't come up in discussions of sexy celebrities. At least not if straight men are doing the talking.

You also seem (along with other zealots in this thread) to be blinding yourself to some key points. It's one thing to exercise and stay in shape, but most objective people can see that Madonna's obsessive regimen goes way beyond that. It's clearly a symptom of some psychological uneasiness. The result is not a healthy looking woman, but a ghoulish one.

And by the way there are plenty of older women in showbiz who look far better than Madonna. Far better.

Shocking and Disgusting? Really?

I think people are focusing on the bad pics at a bad angle. Come on? There's current pics where she looks fantastic. She has an amazing body for her age. AND who the hell said life ends at 50? What the hell is she supposed to do now? Bake cookies? She's doing what she's always done and seems to be having a helluva a good time doing it too!

Like Gwen Steffani said "The Proof Is In The Make-up". She has never in her life been beautiful. But there was a time when she actually looked good when made up. We'd all like it if we were only photographed at "good angles" and only when smiling or only in what we deem, appropriate outfits but the world isn't like that. She now happens to be one of the most unattractive women in the business and that cannot be disputed. No one is saying she should retire and bake cookies, but stop trying to look like a teenager when your body is showing the world otherwise. Prince dresses like a 50 year old man and looks damn good doing it. I don't see him in sagging jeans and over-sized tee shirts just because it's the cool thing to do.

This discussion can't be complete without:

Hey, we probably agree on more than we realise. I've known quite a few women in Madonna's age bracket who were sexy as hell. If you're talking celebrities though, Goldie Hawn, Kim Cattrall(?), and Susanna Hoffs all spring to mind. Also, I may be wrong for it, but I always thought Diana Ross was fine as hell..... I still definitely would.

The ugliest thread in pop biz...

Come back when you are 50 and post a pic of yourself then we can judge YOU...ha,ha,ha!

from an entire concert, you chose to pick 1 photo. i mean, i don't think i'm
handsome or nothing but if i had to perform on stage and sing a song i'm sure
i would be shocked to see some of the pictures of my own face. i'm sure there
would be a couple looking even more frightening than the one of madonna you
chose to make this thread



i think she looks ok enough for 50. maybe she sould be a little less concerned
with looking skinny and "young" and, dare i say it, start behaving a bit more
like her age. for instance, with her experience, i keep wondering why she just
sticks to modern/contemporary hip/dance music. surely a woman with her fanbase
and her power shouldn't have to be affraid to make a grown up album with some
introspective adult music. real instruments, beautiful melodies and just a bit
more stripped down grown up approach.

i mean, bruce springsteen is fine at what he does and it suits him but if he
would make albums like enrique iglesias and tried to dress/dance/act like him
he would look like a sad old fool. that's my theory.

madonna looked and sounded more like her true self (whatever that is) during
the bedtime stories era and even more so during the like a prayer era. when
she released "ray of light" she was probably at her most beautiful/comfortable.

after that she stuck to a gimmick and it became too old, too fast. it's like
she's stuck in some warp and can't get out of it.

does that mean she's ugly? no it doesn't. it just means she's hanging on to
something that doesn't suit her too well when she could be so much more.

midnightmover said:

it's true many of her male fans are gay but not all. People, Madonna is a pop star. She's gotta be a cartoon. She can't look like other women. Long gone are the times when she said I'm average expect of my mind.
Now she's got some super human being body and I admire that.

Face teh truth: There are some beautiful 50 year olds like Marlene Dietrich was without muscles they just looked fine.
But most women at 50 have bellys or hanging tits. I bet most women would die to have Madonna's body. (

Well.. she was never pretty

What a horrible thread.

TheResistor said:

Yeah disgusting and shocking ..and also horrible...Im focusing on the bad pics froma a bad angle? come on, she is not in her 20's anymore,stop trying to find excuses for whats she is doing, im not asking her to bake cookies , fair enough if she wants to sing but she is 50 and a mother of children , its time for her to wear some colthes and respect her age ...

seeingvoices12 said:

What does respect her age mean?
Leave the woman alone. She works out and takes care of her body.
How many women here will want her body at 50?
I'm not a fan, but I don't have problem with what's she's doing or her appearance.
Prince is also 50, touring and dressing like he did in his 20's . . .

Michelle Pfieffer, Monica Bellucci, Famke Jansen, Jennifer Tilly, Rene Russo, Isabella Rossellini, Diane Lane, Stockard Channing, Diane Keaton, Olivia Newton John, Sharon Stone, Cyndi Lauper, Katey Sagal, Jane Seymour - all stil ROCKING IT better than Madonna.

And that's just the white women.

You don't have to be a fan of someone in order to find them attractive. I'm not a fan of Kylie's but I can see she's attractive. Millions of men who have no interest in her music would agree with me on that. Madonna is different. You just don't find straight men who fantasize about her.

Of my straight male friends they all say they fancied her in the Like A Virgin/Desperately Seeking Susan days. As soon as she went to zero body fat when True Blue came out they went off her physically.

Of my gay male friends... well my gay male friends aren't walking cliches and all think she's pretty gross now

Ellie said:

funny, I'm exactly the opposite. When I saw the Papa Don't Preach video it was the first time I ever thought she was really sexy. Express Yourself, Open Your Heart, those were hot videos!

Granted I was young, and looking back at her Virgin era, in retrospect I think she looked pretty good then.

It REALLY pisses me off when people say Madonna was fat in the early 80s. She had a great figure then.
