I don't understand why you are making this a Madonna v. Cyndi thing. Many people like both. They're different but both talented. If you go to a Madonna forum, you will see tons of people praising Cyndi's last album.
Also, I looked at a Cyndi forum once and most of her fans like Madonna. It just seems there's one crazy Cyndi fan here who hates Madonna
If you want someone to like your favorite artist, the way to go is to tell people positive things about that artist, not by putting Madonna down. All you accomplish is turning off the people who happen to love Madonna. It doesn't win Cyndi any more fans.
I happen to love Madonna, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate other artists who may happen to sell less records than she does. The reason I love Madonna is not because of her great success, but because I genuinely enjoy her music.

Actually, I'm trying to avoid the Cyndi v. Madonna thing because it degrades Cyndi, but unfortunately, you vampire fans are only focusing on Madonna as usual. Still, at least a lot of people have seen the interview now, which was the purpose of the thread anyway.

Glindathegood said:

Thats because Midnightmover is a WUM of the highest order (wind-up merchant). Why is it necessary to have to put one artist down to big another up - i dont get that mentality, and it happens alot on this forum. Im hesitant to say its bitterness as i sense a degree of playfulness in it - but sometimes you'd be hard pushed to call it anything other than some kind of obsessive bitter attitude towards madonna, or the people who like her which i feel is even more negative.

CrozzaUK said:

Wow, you noticed the playfulness! It must be because you're British that you got that. These Americans, you know. It goes straight over their heads.

Madonna tried to say 'WE' cyndi was not rippin her off
She might have stepped on a few people stolein a few ideas to get to the ''top''

A potted history.....

I LOVE Change of Heart. One of my fave songs ever. Also remember doing a John Lennon song...thinking it was Imagine...right after the 9/11 attacks that was amazing. Girl has some pipes that is for sure.

midnightmover said:

you being a brit is the reason i dont pay much attention to your bitter rants, yall are just a bunch of uptight people and know it alls. anyway i only know 2 of her songs...girls just wanna have fun and time after time

lowkey said:

SHE BOP


TRUE COLORS


I DROVE ALL NIGHT


MY FIRST NIGHT WITHOUT YOU


THAT'S WHAT I THINK


...and from her latest album,
INTO THE NIGHTLIFE


& a fan vid of ROCKING CHAIR (awesome song!!!)

PurpleJedi said:

thanks, i do remember she bops and i forgot she sings true colors, i love that song

lowkey said:

Wow, what an ignorant stereotype! Have you ever been to Britain or even known a British person? I doubt it. You need to keep your lazy, bigoted mind focused on more trivial matters than national identity because it's obviously something you have no clue about.

Poplife88 said:

Change of Heart is a great song. The only thing I don't like is the production. What's the point of writing a beautiful song if you're gonna whack a big, ugly '80s snare drum all over it. Still great, but I'd prefer a live recording.

midnightmover said:

err..just noticing...you were the first to make a bigoted, stereotypical reference to "These Americans"

you can dish it out, but you can't take it

heartbeatocean said:

If you actually read the comment you'll see it was talking about me being playful. Playful means not serious. Like... joking?

And needless to say, Lowkey was not joking. He/she was being totally serious.

Just thought I'd share this little dream of Madonna's about Cyndi. I think it comes from her Sex book, and Lord does it show how HOPELESS Madonna's literary works are. Anyway, I don't know what the intention of writing this was, but in her dream/nightmare Madonna imagines her boyfriend cheating on her with none other than Cyndi. This is just an excerpt. If anyone has the full story, maybe they can share it with us. On second thoughts, maybe not, as Madonna's juvenile twitterings can only be stomached in small doses. Here it is.....

-----

And I see that he's fucking somebody and I'm horrified. It's this little blond chick. So I pull him off of her and I notice that it's Cyndi Lauper, So I pull him off and I said, "You disgusting pig! How could you f*ck somebody? And most of all, how could you f*ck Cyndi Lauper?"

midnightmover said:

I never read the SEX book.
...but that's way funny.

PurpleJedi said:

You found that funny? To me it was just puerile. Amazing she was 34 when she wrote that tripe.

I like cyndi - i think she was unfairly overshadowed by Madonna in the 80's.

But this midnightlover character's hatred for Janet is a bit worrying.

mancabdriver said:

It's called knowing and caring about ART.

midnightmover said:

Yes, her comment was funny. Childish AND funny. Yes, it's something that a teenager would probably say. But at 34, Madonna was probably still a teenager mentally. After all, she's - what? - 50 now?...and she's still running around like a 30- year-old.

U must understand that everything that Madonna says and does is for a purpose. That's how she's managed to stay at the top for so long, with so little talent. I highly doubt that she actually had the dream in question, she obviously wanted to raise eyebrows...and she did.

Oh, the English, ...things just go over their heads.

PurpleJedi said:

As you said yourself, Madonna is childish, so her writing is not childish by choice. It's childish because she can't help herself. It's no more a choice than her being an awful singer is a choice. Prince and David Bowie used to like to shock people too, but for the most part they weren't childish about it. They did it with some imagination. Madonna is just a bad writer. One would have to be extremely underdeveloped to find her little story funny.

midnightmover said:

Oh....I see...and who better than a Brit - God's chosen angels - to tell people what they should consider humorous.
Gotcha.
...oh...sorry for the slang there...don't mean to offend your superiorshipnessticity. Oops! Did I do it again? Forgive me, I'm just so underdeveloped, you know?

PurpleJedi said:

You're forgiven.
