Like the rest of the universe, Madonna was devastated by the death of her fellow iconic superstar David Bowie, who’d had a huge influence on her life and career. During her Rebel Heart Tour in Houston last night, the singer paid tribute Bowie, who died of cancer January 10 at age 69.
“I want to pay tribute to a man who inspired my career,” she announced to the audience. “If you haven’t heard of David Bowie, look him up motherfuckers. He was one of the geniuses in the music industry, one of the greatest singer-songwriters of the 20th century and he changed my life when I went to see him in concert in Detroit. He showed me that it was OK to be different. And he’s the first ‘rebel heart’ that I laid eyes on.”
Madonna then performed a spirited rendition of Bowie’s 1974 hit “Rebel, Rebel,” which you can watch below.

“Look him up motherfuckers.” Oh she’s a class act.

@Glücklich: I do wish she’d act a little better too… sometimes. No wonder her goodlooking son Rocco prefers to live with his father.

She could have pulled “Fashion” off, only if rocking haute couture.
Neil Young could cover this tune and put a long, drawn out guitar jam in the middle of it, slipping signature, high pitched twangs in the crest of his wave. He may need two drummers and an amazing bass, but could he relate to the lyrics? It’s sort of a gay “sedan delivery.” Rebel, rebel. Last night I was cool at the pool hall. Hey babe, let’s stay out tonight. No one knows. No one knows. She’s not sure if you’re a boy or a girl. He pulled some teeth and I lost some blood. We like dancing and we look divine. Everybody says he’s mad, no one knows the things that he knows, hot tramp, I love you so.

New headline: “Madonna hops a ride on David Bowie’s corpse”

Madonna, you are no David Bowie.
You’re a serial exploiter, Madge. You exploit in order to make money. Go away, girl.

I think Mr Bowie would be having more than a chuckle hearing this

Her rendition of his song was atrocious, and she looked slightly disoriented at the end of it. Basically, Bowie was everything Madonna is not, and that includes being humble, polite, unpretentious and pitch perfect.

@Brian: Please explain how Madonna is “making money” off singing a David Bowie tribute song at one of her already-sold out shows.
Perhaps you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. Yes, perhaps that’s it.

Again we are reminded why her 15 year old son, Rocco, wants to be with his Dad. Is there anything this women does that is not ALL ABOUT HER? If that was a salute, I’d hate to see how she should diss someone.
