What to do when you’re all cooped up…
Sing into your hairbrush about fried fish? Absolutely.
Wax poetic from the bathtub about how “terrible,” but also “great,” the coronavirus is? Hmm that’s a tough one.
Madonna, like millions of other humans, is experiencing some cabin fever.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
You can see that in full effect from this bathroom rendering of “Vogue” about eating fried fish, and we’re here for it:
“Cut me some slack,” she requests of her viewers.
But in another post about the pandemic, Madonna likely ran out of slack after explaining to folks, from a milky, flower-pedaled bathtub, why COVID-19 is “great.” She also called it “terrible,” for the record.
“That’s the thing about COVID-19,” she says in the since-deleted post. “It doesn’t care about how rich you are, how famous you are, how funny you are, how smart you are, where you live, how old you are, what amazing stories you can tell.”
She continues, swirly piano music accompanying her: “It’s the great equalizer and what’s terrible about it is what’s great about it.”
Reaction was mixed at best.
“This video is stupid. We all know that you are in your own rich confinement. You live in other reality Madge. Stop it. With petals on your rich bath, oh my god,” one user commented. “Covid19 makes distinction cause you can afford your own respiratory machine. Stop trivializing this awful situation please.”
Though the video was removed from Instagram, it’s still available just about everywhere else:

The response she got of …””“This video is stupid. We all know that you are in your own rich confinement. You live in other reality Madge. Stop it. With petals on your rich bath, oh my god,” one user commented. “Covid19 makes distinction cause you can afford your own respiratory machine. Stop trivializing this awful situation please.””

Not much to add to that.

I commented on the video before she deleted it. I pointed out how she said “…it’s terrible that it’s made everyone equal….”

What’s wrong with her face?
BrokebackBob
No makeup, that’s what’s wrong.
Glynn
that’s easy to answer: it’s over-bloated, just like her ego, personality and opinions – stay safe

What she said actually makes sense. This disease doesn’t care who you are, it’s an equal opportunity disease.

Indeed that’s what she meant.. Everyone is equal in this, and everyone must stay home, whoever you are.. Off course it’s not something you can say in America, the land where half of the people love to feel victimized. ? And yes, she’s a little weird, who would film themselves talking serious naked in a bathtub! ?

Man that bitch is old and ugly as sin. Who even knows of her new/later work? It’s garbage. She has not been relevant since Ray of Light.

If she wouldn’t have adopted all those young kids (what was she thinking mid 50’s)? At a later age & any age, kids age you & change you. Her profession is not made for new parenting at her age. Looks like she borrowed trump’s hair dye. She’s still our queen like England has their queen.

She’s kind of a mess…

She really cannot sing. How’d she get over on us for so long?? Oy!

Totally agree. It’s actually shocking to compare even what many would consider her “best” work to stuff by (for example) Cyndi Lauper or Annie Lennox, all of whom surpass Madonna vocally and continue to produce vastly superior music, and get a fraction of the credit she’s demanded for 40 years.

WE ARE ALL EQUAL YOU MORONIC SKANK
Coronavirus didn’t make us equal
Money, fame, humour, brains, expensive real estate, age and stories do not make you superior
This clip perfect encapsulates why everyone that knows you, loathes you
You believe these things make you better than everyone else
The deranged singing also proves you cannot sing for shit

I think her actually message -which makes sense to me- gets totally lost in the naked-in-the-bathtub setting with a face looking like Lolo Ferrari…. A weird way to try to send over a message. The virus DOES make everyone equal in the way that anyone can get infected and no matter how rich you are; there’s no cure to buy.

Doesn’t there come a point where people realize that a few wrinkles actually look better than pumping filler into your face and making it look swollen and paralyzed?

It’s really shocking to see her star fading so fast. Seeing her now, it’s hard to believe she was once queen of the pop songs and MTV videos.
I always imagined she’d age gracefully like Bette Midler, Cher or Dolly Parton — instead she’s become an embarrassing, out-of-touch try-hard who should’ve retired years ago.
