swine killer 0 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Like wtf is she doing. Defacing pictures of people more socially important than her won't her bad album any better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nissa 51 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 You are reading far too much into it omg :madge: Bringing Jesus, Gandhi etc. back using Minecraft, just for stealing their blood to save her career from drowning sounds better to you, then? What a skewed comment. People are protesting in Ferguson right now over the rampant killing of black youths by overzealous cops as we speak. There's a huge biopic about MLK's advocacy on the way (title is "Selma") that is both poignant and incisive. This is Madonna's way of getting brownie points by looking "progressive" in the tackiest, most out-of-touch way imaginable and is in no way comparable to Gaga using imagery of human rights advocates and other icons in her GUY video - they were there to represent the positive aspects of humanity, they were not there to represent Gaga. It might be remotely comparable if Gaga had been promoting Born This Way with imagery of MLK, Rosa Parks or Maya Angelou, thus appropriating their struggles to further her own goals (ideology-wise or commercially). This is a very rich woman - with a checkered past when it comes to race - endorsing pictures of people who are/were leading a movement that is a very hot topic right now and letting fans put five minutes of effort into defacing them so they can serve as fodder to further her flimsy "rebel" message (and promote her upcoming album that contains no social commentary whatsoever). It's lazy, intellectually disingenuous and an entirely predictable Madonna-esque thing to do. It is just as thoughtless as when Apple did their "Think Different" commercials. Sites that concern themselves with racism and racial issues in pop culture are rightly lambasting her for this move. And don't forget: this is a person who casually called her son the n-word just a few months ago on Instagram and then did a sorry-not-sorry fauxpology afterwards. And to other people who are trotting out the age-old "Everybody gets so easily offended nowadays", remember: "I am not pissed therefore there is no problem and you have no right to be pissed either" is the language of the entitled and the privileged.

Luc 4,775 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Ehhm, they're actual rebel hearts. This is completely okay, and she probably thinks the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALX 170 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 No single out yet, no full album out yet, just 6 rush released songs, what exactly do you expect? Wait till March. Living For Love says hello Pre-order the already chart topping "Rebel Heart" on iTunes now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbeTpLVlyZQ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkwolf 590 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Did y'all forget this? This. And most of all, many of the songs from the album are about equality and freedom, with lyrics that hint to people like MLK and Mandela. Not touch me, touch me, don’t be sweet , Love me, love me, please retweet LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji 20,113 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 She's clearly got good intentions with this. Be glad she's decided to also put Gaga with such amazing people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunk96 2,526 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 She's just making a statement about people who fight for their passion. Anyone trying to make this controversial.. :air: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mars 2,340 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Its really about taste, Gaga used Gandhi, Lennon and MJ as pop cultural good-will icons in her music video. Madonna has used black activists at a very sensitive and unrested time to promote her pop album. She might have good intentions but they are completely ignorant and uneducated.

Tumblr 1,846 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Why can't she let the music speak? Her album clearly must not be that good if she needs her Instagram to get attention!
