DONAJENDRO 1,914 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 It felt unintentionally disrespectful. I love Madge but I think she went off on a tangent that was a bit much. What I'm confused about is why MTV's "tribute" is just someone talking about Aretha for a minute with the VOTY award presentation right after. It deserved more.  EDIT: guess I was wrong! I'm glad she cleared this up!. Mad Onna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geopang 4,831 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 People will never be satisfied. The VMAs paid Aretha dust with no tribute, and Madonna decides to give Aretha a moment, yet it backlashes because people are ungrateful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iCpro 14,846 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 It was a nice sentiment, it showed how Aretha’s music inspired others and gave people the confidence to follow their dreams. However I do think the story went on for too long and the tribute felt poorly placed within the ceremony. It was basically just a lead-in to VOTY. 08, 09, 11, 13, 16, 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
migamiga 12,067 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 i need to see the full vid before i can give my unwanted, pretentious input EDIT: ok read the full transcript on harpers bazaar. I think it was odd, puzzling, and selfish. She could’ve reduced that story into two sentences and use the rest of the time to actually paying tribute to Aretha  also she looked like post malone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheodoreRx 1,540 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Hot take: These award shows need to cut the tributes. They never please anyone and always seem unsatisfactory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was anyone female artist that gave the "tribute" y'all would have dragged her from a to z. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miky 9,400 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Why does she speak with a lisp? What's wrong with her? Too many people here with moral superiority complex. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she just speaks in a faux British accent, much how many other artists do it to sound "cool" or more "educated." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a nice thing from Madonna but since it's Madonna, what else type of opinions can you expect here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
