The madge and brit affair...good friends or just marketing and PR...

Madge has done everything with the limited talent she has....pushed the boat right out...been butt naked..
Britney can't do much more? with even less talent...all she got left is taking all her clothes off?

Do you think her career can last that of madge?

No its because she wants to suck her blood so she can absorb her

.....chillichocaholic....you made my day... that such a great video its so funny ...and true

I'll agree Madonna needs to stop leeching off other artists but really, Britney is a complete threat to Madonna in every way.

Younger
Wider Audience
Slowly winning people back
#1 hit this year WITHOUT Timbaland/Timberlake
Huge fan base
Consistent, catchy, addictive pop

And I don't know where you've been but Britney's already taken her clothes off in two music videos. Learn your facts!

I love that video...look at my cane and look where I stick it...its been in my pants who wants to lick it

LondonStyle said:

Yes. She definately sees her as a kindred spirit.

purplesweat said:

I disagree! Wider audience? I think Madonna has more fans. Britney sold only one 6th with her last album than COADF did.
I'm sure Britney could never reach the dimension with her new tour Madonna did with S&S!
Slowly winning people back... well, Madonna doesn't have to win them back...
#1 hit... But Womanizer is not as known as 4 Minutes. All in all, 4 Minutes is the bigger hit since it was 25 weeks in the top 50 in the US, and virtually #1 everywhere else in the world!
Huge fan base... not as big as Madonnas....
catchy, addictive pop music... sorry, Madonna can't be beaten. Especially a song like Womanizer is simply awful.
On Brits new albums there is not one pure pop track like Beat Goes On, Heartbeat, Miles Away... Britney rarely has melodies in her songs.

Compare that new b-side that uses the same chords as Madonna's Get Together...
Well, now tell me which song is better? Which one's got more melody?

i've often suspected it.

The best part of that video is how easily a comedy group, that works on a weekly schedule, can produce a song that could easily pass for a song from a Britney or Madonna album. It speaks to the throwaway nature of their music.

Obviously.

oh, and what pisses me off is Britney's videos. Madonna def had some artistic ambitions with soem of her videos, i.e. they were inspired by old books/movies/fashion icons etc or she did use modern techniques...

On the other hand I just hate those comedy style videos Britney does (and Pink! as well) where she slips into all kind of roles and tries to do something funny.

i agree with everything except for the wider audience part

LondonStyle said:

I don't care for "talent" such as theirs, but Britney has a new one in their same pop "talent" category to worry about now: Rihanna (who, like her predecessors Madonna and Britney, so many people seem to love for some reason).


LOL.

I think Madonna has a lot more talent than Britney. One of those being a very saavy business woman. I don't understand the comparison, other than that they are both female and make pop music. Madonna has pushed the envelope in more ways than Britney ever will. Their career paths also have been very different.

That said, I doubt anyone can ever have a career like Madonna. I think that that particular type of superstar can no longer exist in the entertainment world. Sure you'll find those that have longevity, but none will ever match Madonnas Super (or Mega) star status.

LondonStyle said:

I thought madonna felt sorry for brit so thats why she is trying to help her out.

chillichocaholic said:

Oh God. The vogueing her crotch part!

I think she sees they're similar. Not too talented, not too beautiful, banking on their bodies/sexuality, and somewhat savvy in their choices for surrounding themselves with talent and generating interest & buzz.

I doubt Britney is anywhere near as smart as Madonna, however, and I doubt she'll be able to survive losing her youthful looks the way Madonna has.

Mostly I think Madonna sees Britney as an offshoot of herself. Not a true equal but someone who wouldn't exist without her having paved the way. Madonna acknowledging Brit is like saying "see I have been influential!"

NDRU said:

my sentiments exactly. i think it's why she didn't bond with christina aguilera in the same way. though christina has had her forays into hyping her sexuality, there was still something to back that up. she's moved on from that, for the most part, because she can. madonna, on the other hand, is posing for her album cover spread eagle like she's still 30 years old.

kibbles said:

true, and not only is Xtina more talented, she wasn't nearly the superstar [cough*for no good reason*cough] as Britney. I think the enormous fame part really fundamental to both of their careers. They couldn't make it as anything less than superstars.

I swear this clip never stops being funny

Thanks for posting that, I hadn't seen it in yeeeears

they are the only two who understand what it's like to live the life they lead.

kindred spirits... Princess Diana maybe the only person who has ever experienced the amount of Media Exporsure as for as long and as intense as these two.

ehuffnsd said:

You mean as far as women go right? Because I'm pretty sure Michael Jackson and Elvis would of experienced more. Oh and Marilyn had it pretty hard too.

Remember, there was a time when people thought Madonna would be a flash in the pan, and look at what she has accomplished (with her limited talent). Madonna has pushed a lot of buttons, and shocked a generation. Artist from Madonna and Prince to the rappers today have pushed the envelope of scandal and controversy to the limit, so we are now a much more jaded society which doesn't shock easily (except at the sight of a Black woman's tity), and there isn't much left for Britney to do but continue on making great catchy pop songs. Don't count Britney out.

I agree with everything you said.In many ways,Madonna is one of a kind.None of these current female artists will be able to have that kind of career.
