And the claws are out!
Following last Sunday’s Superbowl 2012 half time show, which saw Madonna perform with Nicki Minaj, Cee Lo Green and MIA, the icon has responded to the controversy surrounding the latter’s fauxpas during the performance.
Her interesting remarks below…
While we understand Madonna’s frustration, it seems she has forgotten about a few of her own antics.
From releasing Erotica to locking lips with Britney in 2003 , it’s oh so rich for her to accuse MIA of attention seeking when she herself rose to fame by doing just that.
So what do you think? Should MIA apologize to her?
Yeah it was ridiculous for MIA to do that!
guess who she learned from?
and there she was!!! criticizing Janet’s show
which was an accident…
there she is.. inviting some stupid singer
which only talent is ti be vulgar…
now you have madge … suck it up and leave janet alone…
i’d rather have the boob out .. than “sicky” minaj and the other one
what’s her name???? pffffffff next…..
Janet’s stunt was no accident. Lets not…
no let’s!
can you prove Janet’s accident was a stunt? ….. that’s what i thought
I thought the Halftime Show was great. Shame that it’s getting all of this negative publicity because of one finger
here’s my problem with madonna and most of the media…
M.I.A. flips the bird in the video for “Give Me All Ur Luvin” so why wouldn’t she do the same thing on stage? people do a lot of things on stage when the moment hits them. it’s no different from Madonna kissing Britney and Xtina or Adam Lambert kissing his bass player …i could go on and on…i really wish that the media and general public would understand that it’s 2012….WHO CARES????? i mean really!!!! kids see worse things on a cartoon than a split second of a middle finger…eugh…
I think it was wrong, but Madonna made her career on this!
Madonna is famous because she has done pop masterpieces.
she didn’t go in on it very hard. she just said, given the overall energy of the performance, that it seemed out of place… like a “teenager irrelevant thing to do.” but she also praised nicki and mia for their young energy and for being “badass” in their own right.
FLASH NEWS: Madonna has Alzheimer’s disease.
Sit your old ass, Queen of All Pop!
M.I.A. you better NEVER apologize, gurl!
Madonna is so hypocritical and Americans are so sensitive. She built her career based on scandals and controversies, now she thinks she can recriminate others. B****, please! You sold s** and vulgarity for decades! Can’t she handle that her lip-synched performance has been overshoweded by MIA’s attitude? LOL. BYE FLOP! Go back to the asylum, we already have got many untalented b****** thesedays, you’re just another one jumping on the bandwagon.
M.I.A. > Madonna
Madonna needs her to stay “current” plus wouldn’t be surprised if madonna set this up for publicity considering she lipsinked the whole performance . M.I.A is so beyond madonna BLASTS “BAD GIRLS”
Apparently M.I.A already has apologised to madonna….which she should NOT of done!…….seriously half a second flipping the finger and all this drama??…and madonna will do and say anything to sell mdna, queen of pop or not no one can say all this bitching is honestly making them wanna pre-order a copy….is just making her look petty and old(er)
i dont get the hate! she didn’t GO IN on M.I.A. and what she said was not rude by any means. all she said was “i just didn’t get the point”
gosh you young queens in here probably didn’t even listen far enough and just based your opinions on the (biased) article
The purpose of quotations marks is that you’re stating something directly said, TGJ yall be lying with these quotes she did not say “M.I.A. what you did at the superbowl was irrelevant”, yall made it seem like she went in on her or something, she obviously still like her
i dont think m.i.a. should apologize if she felt strongly enough to do that. if she was directing that toward the nfl or fcc or whatever.
but if that flip off was a spur of the moment/impulsive move, she should very well apologize. it wasn’t MTV OR BET. it was a FAMILY PROGRAM where she was well aware that madge had previously promised NO ANTICS. madge held up her end of the bargain, so should everyone else have
Again starting s*** over nothing. I love it how every time Madonna is asked a question about abotger artist and answers honestly (yes what we’re all thinking about GaGa, MIA, etc) she’s accused of shade. It’s true! Madonna is 53 and doesn’t court controversy like she used to and is the master at timing. Theres a time and place for antics (videos, MTV VMA’s etc, certain late night shows) that aren’t suitable for the largest tv audience of the year and all age groups. Madonna never pulled s*** like that in front of kids
And again the only country who cares about a middle finger is america! Hahahahah pathetic! M.i.a you rock!!!!!!!!
Madonna is really gonna have to take several big seats in her stunt queen granny rocker. She’s just mad because M.I.a.’s middle finger made HER irrelevant in the aftermath of the show. Nobody is talking about how Madge killed it at lip-syncing for her life on some bleachers. Not thy I think what Mia did was badass, but Madge is just mad she got out stunted in what was supposed to be her moment of shine. Oh and I could find a dozen pictures of Madonna flipping the bird at her shows… Just sayin.
Sam when you use quotation marks, that indicates that those where the actual words of the person. i’ve seen you do this time and time again plz stop
Of course M.I.A should NOT apologise to Madonna OR NBC! When Madonna enlisted her for this feature, she knew who M.I.A. was, she had watched her videos, she knew she’s a troublemaker and likes to shock. If she wanted an innocent little girl that would follow her instructions, she could have picked Taylor Swift, but NO! She chose M.I.A., so the middle finger was only expected. She shouldn’t act shocked.
Love M.I.A & I hope she dosen’t apologies like, I don’t see the big deal about what she did, there is so much worse s*** on tv & people are outraged by this?!?!?
What a GIMMICK!!!!!!
MIA only put up her middle finger to distract us from Manfreds BORING performance .Manfreds show was lackluster at best and the GREAT LACEFRONCE was not impressed with his GIMMICKS or LACK OF talent.
MAN.D.N.A. will sell 1m at most.
Wait, so all this controversy was around MIA’s middle finger. People are so sensitive. What is really irrelevant is that this is actually caused an outrage. It wasnt any kind of hatred towards anyone. But i guess thats just the industry. They penalise u for everything you do. Its actually ridiculous.
Guess how many people actually listened to the clip?
Madonna said what most people already feel. The middle finger isn’t the Armageddon people are making it out to be, so f****** what. It’s irrelevant and anyone making a big deal out of it needs to step into 2012.
Sam you’re a liar looking for hits by tricking gullible people. Lazy queen.
Gilberto, sis, there ARE laxatives for a reason. All you do is hate. Pop an exlax b**** and calm the f*** down. Madonna is the Queen of Pop, while you are the Queen of iHop. You better gag on those never ending pancakes while Madonna makes that money!!!
Dustin, do you read what you write before you click submit? Before Madge takes a seat, I’mma need you to take a remedial English class and get that grammar together. Yes Madonna is old. Is that an insult? And yes we are aware that Madonna is controversial. However, the Superbowl is viewed by people of ALL ages; including children. That’s why the finger was inappropriate.
The Great Lacefronce, Gimmicks? You are aware of who you have as an avatar right? Madonna is old, yet she is beautiful, while the b**** in ya avi looks like a cracked out mutt with a bad groom job from PetCo. You are a stan of the rat, a t***** of NO originality or class. Madonna is that rodent’s idol and its career is based off Madonna’s. And those are FACTS. The show was great, the ratings were high, and it was the talk of tumblr and America. She didn’t have to break out of a damn egg or look like a mop-wig wearing m***** like Gaga to get attention. The Majority of America’s opinion>>>>A bitter f**.
B**** PLZ, as much as Janet wanted Justin to pull her bare, Madonna asked MIA to cut edge. THK ABT IT!!!!
*rolling eyes* she wants to be taken seriously by now …but ppl do not forget that MDNA is the trashiest of ’em all. Thanks to her we now have that Spears, Bieber plague. Illuminati Jew plastic s***.
I agree with the posters that said Americans are to damm sensitive when it comes to these irrelevant things. Always the most hypocrite of all
And esp. for that idiotic comment @Lacefront
That’s how people really feel:
http://www.pollstar.com/blogs/news/archive/2012/02/06/795522.aspx
Michael Jackson: 72%
Grannymandonna: 3%
If you have no taste in ppl who can ACTUALLY sing and dance, write, produce, arrange and entertain on THEIR own, you take a damn seat with this chosen one illuminati crap, being a ‘star’ just for massive media promo.
Your wake-up call: All western media is owned by a hand full of Jew Families
MIA did her thing and it,s not that serious.madge isn’t going in on her but knowing grape twisting things to start a stan war and for some reason it always works,most of you who is talking sh-t is just mad that it wasn’t nicki minaj who did it,so you all can go in on her because we now that 90% of you don’t like her on this sh-t,it would be the end of the world up in this mofo,up to this day it would still be making headlines all off the net…anyway madge,mia and nicki keep doing yall thing.
yeah it is truth, we American are to damn Puritans or wants to give that image to the world, i am an American but i have always find this thigs so stupid, as for M.I.A. she did wrong, if Madonna that is the Queen of Controversy this damn time doesn’t want to create scandals why this girl that was only a damnnn guesssss on her show, this time Madonna doesn’t want to create controversy because people would say that she was trying to overshadows Janet’s performance at the Super Bowl, i was there at the Super Bowl and i didn’t notice that until i see the performance on YouTube, this time Madonna want just to make a great show.
She was trying to STEAL the show like the Queen of Thieves(Beyonce)
Um it’s not the same thing. The Superbowl isn’t about Madonna or MIA or any of the performers. This wasn’t MIA or Madonna’s concert, video, TV performance. This was the Superbowl. Madonna has always pushed the envelope in HER right in HER videos, HER performances, her career. The Superbowl Halftime Show isn’t about the people who perform, it’s about the ENTERTAINMENT for the audience. Madonna “GOT” that. MIA obviously didn’t. And of course ThatFLOPJuice doesn’t.
Madonna flashing cooch in Erotica to promote her career and her book and her album is NOT THE SAME as Madonna being INVITED to perform at the Superbowl. It was no place for Madonna to flash cooch, hang from a cross, or kiss a black Jesus. The NFL wants people to ENTERTAIN, not push their ideas. OTherwise they would have had Lady Gaga on stage trying desperately to be iconic.
such a false c*** madonna is…
Sports events are filled with frustrated fans, players, and bosses. All them m*********** are cursing, yelling, and fighting. Then in between all the cray s*** we have to have a PG Halftime performance. Don’t get me wrong MIAs finger could of been avoided. But if it is in the music video then it’s gonna be in her performance. nicki dancing was very flirtatious. Dare i say stripper like? No one says nothing.
@Teacher
Pressed that RiRi can’t put on a show anywhere?
ROYALACE
H** STFU!!!!!!!!
THE GREAT LACEFRONCE will never ‘stan’ for T***** Caca either so THE GREAT LACEFRONCE is unfazed.
You tried.
The weird thing is that when I watched it on tv I do not even remember seeing MIA doing that. Maybe she was doing it when the camera was not on her.
One middle finger compared to her s** book which one stronger a woman with kids and a s** book maybe still selling or a woma who put a middle finger up
Madonna have a lot of nerve with her old ass!
i watched the video and i see anything wrong about it mia just said something like i dont give a f***/s*** and just had the midlle finger who wouldnt have that hahah i will also show the world my finger and besides madnna has done some things to so she badder not be mad at mia
