With shared ownership of the ‘Queen Of Pop’ title, Beyonce & Madonna stand as two of the only entertainers to enjoy Pop superstardom and critical praise.
So, in acknowledging her competitor’s outstanding run in the industry, Beyonce has praised the ‘Evita‘ star in her spread with ‘The Gentlewoman‘,opening up on why she feels the world needs more women like her.
Read below…
On the icon, B shared:
“When I recorded 4, I decided it’s OK. I’m going to be independent. I just have memories of when there was no air conditioning in the new building and we didn’t have an office, and it was like camping. It was like, ‘If you want to be a part of this, you got to grind it out.’ It’s a different level of commitment, because it comes from love and respect, and that’s how I try to lead. I think about Madonna and how she took all of the great things she achieved an started the label and developed other artists. But there are not enough of those women.”
“Now I’m controlling my content, controlling my brand and archiving it for my daughter and making sure she has it and she respects it. You see Puffy and you see my husband and you see these male artists that become moguls, and the female artists might become legends, but there’s not enough of us that become moguls. And I think there are many ways to get there.”
She is so right.
Madonna wasn’t the best singer but she is one of the boldest women in history.
She owned her music, career, and image. She created so much and has earned the respect for that.
I have to say even with her efforts Beyonce hasn’t even come close to touching Madonna on that level.
Kings!
I’m not that much of fan of either but Beyonce knows how to show respect. I like artists from ‘current generations’ who know how to tribute icons of the past and not have it be done is jealous or concieted way.
She appreciates what Madonna has achieved and has done for the female ‘Pop’ artists of the future.
Unlike “certain artists” who “claim” that they’re “original” but are complete carbon-copies of Madonna, Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, Prince & Grace Jones!!!!!!!
There’s absolutely no one like Madonna, she is on her own level. The thing I like most about Madonna is her I don’t give a f*** attitude. Madonna is not fake unlike a certain one who pretends to care about her fans whilst faking a knee inflammation. Madonna will forever be the one and only Queen of pop and pop culture. You cannot touch Madonna, no one can.
SHE BETTER STAN FOR MADONNA…YES KING B…SHE SAID NOTHING ABOUT THE TRUTH.
Omg I couldn’t agree more if I could with the 1st comment!!
“I have to say even with her efforts Beyonce hasn’t even come close to touching Madonna on that level”
@sam “shared ownership of the Queen of Pop tittle”…don’t start with me!! Beyonce even though the best performer of our generation is yet to inspire the next generations to come and then go ahead to compete with them!!
They share the queen of pop title? That’s ridiculous, even for this site. That’s like comparing JT to MJ, Alexandra Burke to Whitney or 1D to the Beatles.
That’s Madonna’s title and always will be. Beyonce can be queen of contemporary RnB or something, but she’ll never be the queen of pop.
I like that Bey showed respect for Madonna though. She has done before as well.
Is it because you both are frauds?
What? Not enough devil worshipping, illuminati hi priestesses.
I think one is enough with all the up and coming ones.
She is so right. Now that’s how you pay homage. Nicki Minaj Betta take notes! *sides eye lil Kim*
That Why I love King Bey!!!!!!!
TRUE THAT BEY! Madonna was in charge of everything. She had to fight so hard for what her imitations call “original “and “my idea” all while tearing hips and such.Madonna,Barbara Striesand, Diana Ross etc those women were BOSSES! Beyoncé is coming into that arena now and really when you are your own boss and successful you make WAYYYY MORE MONEY. If Beyoncé pulls this era off in her life she will be the only female artist this generation to fully say “I run my own s***”.But the fact that Bey respects the Queen only makes me love her more
beyawnce the Queen of pop? pppfffftttt!!!!! she is the Queen of the ghetto R&B anthems.
Beyonce is not Madonna’s competitor on any level and she doesn’t share Madonna’s title so sam stop acting delusional….instead of simply quoting what beyonce said,you had to show subtle disrespect to QUEEN MADONNA
where’s her new single tho??
I have to say that I was extremely puzzled by the heading of this post at first. To see certain individuals stating that there aren’t enough women like Madonna is just odd for me (especially when it comes down to the kind of women that offer something completely different to music that I wouldn’t associate with Madonna). 0_o … After reading further it totally made sense. The most admirable thing about Madonna is her strength and nervy, aggressive attitude. She’s a go-getter! That’s something most strong women would find inspiring. It’s nice to see Beyonce refusing to sit in the back ground, she’s just as capable as anyone else to run things! I commend her for looking out side the box and not getting caught up in roles.
BTW, it may not be debatable when it comes down to the King of Pop (MJ), but as for the Queen it’s a totally different story. Whitney, Janet, Mariah & Celine ran that race too closely to be excluded from sharing that throne!
About time Sam, good thing S****** Blonde talked about it.
I like the fact that Bey shows respect to Madonna and points out her strength, independence and businesswoman side of her. It’s a good thing that she’s inspired by her in that direction.
i Find it bitter for my taste-buds but U know I always Keep it real With these B****** , BEYONCE is Really That B**** of Now, we can always have our arguments and debates about her authenticity , Originality and Realness ” and any Fuel for a Lil Stan war for that matter” , HOWEVER , I got a mad respect for her Determination and her hard-work , She’s Not Lazy and Deserve Every Bit of what she’s getting Right Now , Ppl Respect her in the industry and Out of it and she just all together a Good Person.
AND PERSONALLY , i Think MADONNA is the Best Female Entertainer EVER !!! She just has The Perfect Balance of Everything Required to Be great.
BEYONCE always Respected Madonna , Seriously , who can Deny Her Force in The music history Though ?
whoever you stan for , Ricki , Kitty , K$hit , etc …. Without Her , Those “ACTS” won’t be There if it wasn’t for Madonna, she simply did everything in the Book to the point it is hard to come up with something new or creative to the table that Won’t be compared to her Vault automatically. [……………….. 🙄 ]
anyway , Beyonce , Stay Blessed!
TO THE NAVY
THE SINGLE IS LOCKED UP IN YA MAMMMY DRAG OUT P**** C****.
beyonce is probably the only female in her generation that is a spawn of madonna; the business woman, and mass media manipulator.
at this point in her career she is 100% in control of every single thing she does. she has her empire and the media in the palm of her hands. and more importantly, like madonna she has studied the industry inside out and avoided that crash and burn that almost every pop megastar suffers (mj, whitney, britney etc)…
@L :
TELL THEM!!! I HAVE ALWAYS SAW IT LIKE THAT.
It’s nice that Beyonce gives proper respect to the REAL QUEEN of POP Madonna, but seriously …..Beyonce isn’t even in her league!!! I think her marriage to Jay Z has made her Artistically confident in ways that are just not real…
Beyonce has made most of her money from touring, touring, promotion, endorsements, very very little on Album sales…
Madonna isn’t afraid of what people think…that’s what makes her the Queen..
Beyonce is to concerned and caution about what people think…this picture of perfection is sickening!! The only thing bold about Beyonce is her ability to proclaim herself as Queen of anything!
I dont understand why sam want to put beyonce up there with madonna. I dont think beyonce is close to madonna’s level on the music area but she is darn close in the business area.
Ummm!! Nicki minaji already said this about not being enough female moguls!!
SHE’S RIGHT. BEYONCE IS ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS, PERFORMERS AND BUSINESS WOMEN IN THE GAME.
MADONNA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>BEYFAT NECK!!!
Satanic Hoez of course they stick together
Beyonce has payed her dues she has always praised her heros from mj.tina turner, whitney,diana to mc etc madonna migth be one of her core inspiration or hero but it nice she gave props no wonder they are they ones singing her praises now she is kinda humble.
LOVE HER SO MUCH !!!
YOU BETTER BOW DOWN TO THE REAL QUEEN. BTICHPLEASEEEEEEEEEEE
Are you crazy?! “shared ownership” for Queen of Pop… Let me quote Nicky Minaj on this one;
“THERE’S ONLY ONE QUEEN AND THAT’S MADONNA, B****!!!”
Madonna really is the queen of pop
MDNA is her biggest flop and its still sold over 2 million in under a year
I can’t at the hive praising Madonna when just a few weeks ago y’all were going in on her Superbowl y’all faker than Beyonce yes Madonna did books and directed movies she really screams brand but she never calls herself that she’s a person and is thankful to have a long career and work with the people she had pleasure of working with and that’s what Beyonce don’t get she sees herself as a brand/product
Queen Bey ain’t saying nothing but the truth. Madonna is a trooper.
Back the f*** off. I f****** CAN’T with this fake b****. So now she’s a big Madonna fan? I’ve heard it all now from BeYAWNce.
Madonna is a trye difition of a boss lady, she had 100% control of her business, brand, and career. And developed a net worth of $650 million. I hope I can have a career as long as monica.
Madonna is a true difition of a boss lady, she had 100% control of her business, brand, and career. And developed a net worth of $650 million. I hope I can have a career as long as madonna
She better bow down haha. I’m not going to fall in the temptation of diss her just for Sam obsessions, that’s why i’m getting tired of this site b*******, always disrespecting the ones who did it all for the ones you worship, why don’t you just post what she say. Anyway, Beyonce is right, I must admit that she always acknowledge her influences unlike others. Everybody knows Madonna is an icon without peer, she doesn’t share her title with anybody, no Janet, Whitney, Mariah, Kylie..none of them has been MADONNA and no one is at the moment at her level, she’s not at MJ level, for me Madonna is in a level that no other musician has reached, she has succeeded where Michael Jackson and many other so called more talented than her have failed.”….Madonna created the title Queen of Pop, it’s for her that the title exist, there’s has been thousands of her in the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s but is always her, thousand faces but always the same irreverent girl with more years and more wrinkles but always Madonna Louise Ciccone.
I wonder how many dislike i will have, just for telling the truth that many refuse to accept. I wonder if it would be different if Madonna had been black, i mean if a black woman would have done everything Madonna did and everything she has contributed to Pop Culture, i’m pretty sure y’all would bow down to her and use her success to shades the White females who hasn’t accomplished what she did, to Caesar what belongs to Caesar my friends.
Rihanna is the closest one after Madonna, Madonna knows that and Beyonce knows that. She better shut up, and make love to Jay-z.
Rihanna is the closest thing to madonna, beyonce better recognize! Rihanna is closer to being a madonna than beyonce being a michael….she better learn!!
This b**** is a phoney though (beyonce)…..b**** you not empowering to women! I know madonna was a nasty b**** in her time, but h** you take the cake with your sashay p**** popping across a stay, than calling it dancing SMH! at least madonna acknowledge she was a h**, you dress it up, and put a ribbon on it and call it a gift smh!!!! beyonce stop it durrrrrrling you aint no damn mistress of the universe or no damn king h**, you just a clown that entertains the towns people for the time being….
She only told the truth. But of course, the #delusionalNavi came out. At least Madonna can put out a great show, writes and produces her own songs, and has almost complete creative control, very unlike their fave HIVrih.
whoever you stan for , Ricki , Kitty , K$hit , etc …. Without Her , Those “ACTS” won’t be There if it wasn’t for Madonna
________________________________________________________________
Girl please tell me you’re joking!
Madonna was an inspiration to Dickie Garbaje and Kiii$hit???
One of them is the ultimate Queen of pop, the other two are the best when it comes to ending their own careers. What does Madonna have to do with these h***???

@ L
Your comment = 10/10 😀
If not for Jay-Z Beyonce would be just another artist. She’s actually a dancer who sings. She be in burlesque.
With all the plastic surgery they look alike.
Beyonce is a little bit late, isn´t she? I get what she´s saying, but girl women have been dominating the industry for like 20 years. Madonna and Whitney were the first ones to dominated the entire world in the 80´s like no other before, and then others came. We are in 2013 and you are late with all these women empowerment girl. It´s nice but you are not the one starting s***. get over it girl. Album sales I posted yesterday say it all
Kudos to madonna for everything we already know. But @s****** relax, no other of the big contenders is pure pop, so she was obviously going to be the Queen of Pop. And no Madonna is not bigger than Michael, end of story, she surviving the industry is not good enough for me to accept that, Michael was better at everything and any person in the world would tell you that
Sam Is Really Rihanna’s Undercover Stan, Because He’s Sure Doing His Best For People To Hate On Beyonce And Come After Beyhive.
You Always Shade Rihanna, So People Get Tired Of Your Shade Then They Star Supporting Her.
You Praise Beyonce Every Single Day And Put Her On Some Level( Like This One) She Can’t Reach, So People Get Tired, Star Bashing Her More, So She Got More Haters.
You Don’t Even Like Gaga, Yet You Call Her “The New Queen Of Pop” Just To Bash Your Majesty, Madge And More Hater For Lady G.
Well Done Sam You’re Really Playing Your Game Right, CH!
@TISHA, The Best Comment! You’re 100% Right, That’s Why I Can’t With Delusional Comment Like:” The black Madonna, The Next Queen Of Pop, The New Queen…”!
“With shared ownership of the ‘Queen Of Pop’ title”
LIES!!!!!!
@JOHNVIDAL
I’m calmer than Lana Del Rey honey, Madonna rules the music world becacuse she’s MADONNA and who give a f*** if you and others don’t accept that.
Madonna>>>>MJ…where all of you where when he was alive, he is bigger again because of his death and his excellent old catalogue meanwhile Madonna continues to break records and writing history and pushing her Legacy to an unreachable level something that MJ and many true greats stopped doing long ago.
So true!
Wtf she trying to sound like a struggling artist. Talking bout no AC and all this. Girl u got money…Pepsi money. Quit acting like u heating the house w the oven lmao. I love me some Bey but its like just sit back and be great. You don’t have to TALK about being a mogul. Just be one. You don’t have to TRY to be approachable and down to earth bc that’s what ppl expect now. Folks will hate anyway and say ur not giving enough. But I digress.
Why the f*** are these delusional navy stans calling Rihanna the next Madonna hahahaha. You have to be f****** kidding? That’s an insult her artistry is not and will never compare to Madonna’s. Not only does she poss accomplishments Rihanna will never be able to achieve (like being one of the best selling artist of all time, having raw talent, or being an amazing performer) she’s a legend. I don’t agree with Sam Beyonce isn’t in Madonna’s league… because Madonna has been in the game 30+ years and has made a major impact on music. However, Beyonce is by far one of the best overall performers of our generation, a business woman, and humble… unlike Rihanna. Even Madonna herself commends Beyonce. Why? because Beyonce has shown mad respect on many occasions. Which is why so many legends praise her and her talents. I have yet to hear as many legendary artist speak highly of Rihanna. So idk why the navy is saying “bow down” and all that b******* because Beyonce always gives respect where due. So this isn’t anything new. If anyone needs to bow down its Rihanna. Maybe then she could actually learn some humility and possess some damn talent. Smdh hypocrite’s.
Of course she’s no Madonna lol. Madonna is the epitome of legend!
But Beyonce is a better entertainer than a lot of the no talent having artist today, like the new “black madonna” for example LMFAO. I’ve never been a stan for Beyonce but I respect her talent, hussle, and the fact that she’s humble. Years and years from now she might very well be able to obtain legendary status. Who knows? Idc how many “hit singles” you have raw talent is what’s important and respected at the end of the day.
Yup @PRINCE MACHIAVEL I peeped Sam out too a long time ago when it comes too Beyonce. I really can’t with these navy stans either. They want to diss Beyonce, who is showing nothing but absolute respect, only to make Rihanna look better who has zero talent when in comparison. Wtf? I can’t with this biased site.
Rihanna is shutting the game down. Rihanna will soon be known as the biggest pop female icon in the world. She is 25 and has sold over 100 million records WW, her next album will be bigger than all of her previous ones. She has remained consistent since 2008. She is not stopping. Beyflop like Madonna?? yea right. I can’t at beyfraud trying to act classy… Bytch you are not empowering women by showing your trashy Photoshop pics, dancing like a stripper w**** and wearing nasty leotards, all while being a married woman.
Madonna is more talented and is a better entertainer than Beyfraud. You tried!!! Madonna can dance,sing, play instruments and she’s creative. Beyflop can sing but dancing, heck no. She does nothing difficult. Just the same old booty poppin steps anybody can do. Her retarded H** call that dancing.Beyonce will never touch Madonna’s success. Bytch still trying to keep up with Rihanna.
B**** Please you tried. Nobody gives a f*** about Rihtards bruised and battered ass. “she is 25 and has sold over 100 million records WW, her next album will be bigger than all of her previous ones” b******* it took her alien looking ass 7 albums to do so. None of the greats had to relentlessly release an album every f****** year to reach the 100 mill mark. So stfu!
“Beyflop like Madonna?? yea right. I can’t at beyfraud trying to act classy… Bytch you are not empowering women by showing your trashy Photoshop pics, dancing like a stripper w**** and wearing nasty leotards, all while being a married woman.” Wtf? Doesn’t any of that have to do with her talent or artistry you superficial b****?Oh I no, NOTHING. Thus, your argument is not valid. Beyonce is 10 times more talented than that E.T. looking broad. But acting like you have some damn sense in public, marrying the dude whom you’ve been dating for 10 years, and having a child after is real trashy right? Please I no damn well you are not trying to call Beyonce a ho because of the way she dresses on stage. B**** have you not seen E. T? I mean Rihanna?
Well isn’t that “pot calling the kettle black”. Because that big fore headed ass b**** walks around looking like a REGULAR H** on and everyday. But your bias ass is to blind to see that right. Because you would much rather worship a crack h** that walks around half ass naked, cross faded, and damn near drooling over the dude who beat the s*** out of her. The b**** is a damn escort with no talent. KEEP IT REAL. Yeah Madonna> Beyonce. But Beyonce>Rihanna. Most people, other artist, and legends like ,The Queen Madonna herself, would agree.
Rihanna will never have a good range, amazing tone, pitch/vocal, resonance, killer dance moves, or decent stage presence. At least Beyonce makes an effort to learn choreography all Rihanna seems to be able to do is pat her f****** bruised cooch. Which is exactly why Beyonce’s tours gross more money. So don’t even start. Beyonce does not want to be that h**. She’d NEVER discredit herself that way.
Eww dude she does look like that thing from the movie Splice @ BEYONCE SLAYS THAT SPLICE LOOKING ASS B****!!! haha *dead*.
Eww dude Rihanna does look like that thing from the movie Splice @ BEYONCE SLAYS THAT SPLICE LOOKING ASS B****!!! haha *dead*.

Hey, can we please just calm down and congratulate ALL these ladies for what they’ve done? Madonna, Beyonce,Patti, Rihanna, Nicki, Kim, Janet, Whitney, Britney, Kylie and so many others have all achieved and accomplished so much in their careers, regardless of whether you like them or not. STOP pitting these women against each other, the music industry is NOT a damn competition!!!
