Lava 3,540 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I've recently been listening to a lot of Madge and I love her music so far, Rebel Heart is so good omf. But anyway, one thing is very consistent throughout all of her music. Religion. There are so many religious references and inspirations all the way from the eighties to RH. I don't dislike it, but I mean.. the majority of her music revolves around religion. Gaga's so diverse and different with each album and Madonna just isn't imo.. I'm not hating on Madge but religion is her biggest aesthetic (but i will admit that bitch can turn out some looks. ) Spoiler Receipts: The Fame - about fame, money, celebrity praise, etc. The Fame Monster - Fear Born This Way - Self love and religion ARTPOP - Art and music Joanne - Reminiscence and love Gags only used religion a lot in the btw era. (And dont say she did in tfm era bc it was only Alejandro and wearing crosses) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xoxo cupcakke 4,781 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Um... I get there's still an existing invisible feud between Monsters and Madgesters, but these references are there for a reason as they shaped who Madonna is. Give me a minute to tell how you're so wrong with your argument Madonna: Straight up dance-pop Like a Virgin: Yeah, I'm a rebel and I get money doing it, how are you doing? True Blue: A pop album that features themes of love, teen pregnancy, world peace Like a Prayer: An album centered around Madonna's upbringing, personal relationships, and how she copes with it all Erotica: Do not think there are any religious references here, but definitely Madonna fearlessly expressing her sexuality, and sexuality and sensuality in general Bedtime Stories: A slow moving album that show's a softer side to Madonna Ray of Light: An album about motherhood, adulthood, and womanhood Music: A pop album that is really just that at the end of the day, almost a lyrical call back to her early work American Life: Her most political album to date and can be considered almost a part two of Like a Prayer as she delves further into some of her past relationships Confessions on a Dance Floor: A pop retrospective of Madonna's career to that point with various references and overall a good time Hard Candy: Eh, terrible album but not that religious as you say MDNA: Let's just not talk about this one Rebel Heart: Pretty much just a regular pop album with religious references and Madonna trying to intentionally be provocative almost but that's on her, not judging her for that So let's not assume that Madonna's albums are not diverse, she explores many themes like 4/12 of her albums seem to heavily focus on religious material, two of them for the sake of doing so for attention (MDNA and Rebel Heart). Gaga talked about fame, as someone stated, for her first four albums. I'm elated Joanne does not focus on fame, but we cannot deny our HBiC is supposedly not doing the same Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAnotherDay 8,402 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Madonna's music does feature a lot of religious imagery, but she has lot of different music about lots of different topics, Ray Of Light about motherhood, American Life is scrutiny of America and it's government, Like A Prayer is about her relationship with her family and religion, Erotica about sex and desire, etc. was NickARTPOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a minute to tell how you're so wrong with your argument I'm not trying to start an argument at all, I love ha music, I just feel like she does so much involving religion and it's kinda just boring at times. She's obviously done a lot more than just religion but that's a good portion of it. And her fanbase is called Madgesters? Explain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lxdygxga 3,353 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Madonna is one of the most diverse artists in pop. That's why everyone is so often compared to her - there's really nothing she's not done. Whilst religion is an overarching theme in her music, it is not a part of all of her albums, or even most of her songs. In the same way you could say Gaga's obsessed with masturbation, because she refers to it on 80% of her releases, but the actual album is not about that. Like a Prayer, arguably Madonna's biggest album based on religion, really only explicitly deals with it on the title track , Act of Contrition and Oh Father - three out of 11 tracks. As a huge Madonna fan, I don't really see your point that she's lacking in diversity when her lyrical themes as well as her imagery has been nothing but diverse.

AJH219 4,448 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 "Madonna's not diverse. She writes about the same stuff." God, opinions like this are why I hate our generation.
