Madonna is confused about why she's here at all and nonexplains the joke about her ass, but she'd like to say thanks for whatever this is.

Madonna was great in the early days the VMA awards, so it was nice to see her perform live:


Speaking of confusion, I see no distinction between what she was doing back in the 80s and what these performers who look like her are trying to do now. Maybe that's the point she's making here.

Jokes about her pet donkey or roasting a political affiliation equitable and inclusive.

Well, it's good the swelling has gone down, that's a plus. But.... isn't she getting a little too..... rectangular, to be wearing outfits like this one?

RideSpaceMountain said...

Is that Madonna's culture? I don't like it!

MadisonMan said...

I agree that the dancing looks very familiar to anyone from the 80s and 90s.

She's lost a step. A younger Madonna would have removed a butt plug and preached to the audience about the liberation that comes from using one. Maybe engaged in a little lesbo action with Sabrina. But I guess now she's transitioning into the Grand Dame phase of her career and feels it important to strike a note of gravitas and dignity while accepting awards.

Her butt plug was ready for its close-up.

Eva Marie said...

She looks good. Sounds good. 68 and still opening the show. Imagine what she’ll do at 69.

Lazarus said...

I also wonder what Madonna is still doing here and when the mothership is coming to take her away ...

Lazarus said...

Wait a minute ... there's still an MTV? Is it a podcast now or something?

Her dancers were embarrass3d to be there after sh3 feigned pulling something out of her ass...

I think you were the only one who loved that performance. Most of us feel sorry for the old lady. She once had it. Some people just dont know when to cede the stage...

…Eva Marie is a cheeky monkey…

I labor mightily to not respond to posts about Madonna and Dylan.

Is she on something?

I love being a church musician, playing and writing hymns. Wish I’d never been in the popular music biz. The dreary demand for political and cultural posturing was just a complete pain in the ass. What a bore.

gilbar said...

so, they're giving awards to embalmed mummies now?
what ever happened to Live Music? (you know, music by living people)

gilbar said...

imagine being SO OLD, that you think that Madonna is relevant?

Peachy+2 said...

Madonna bores me.
She reminds me of the influencer class.

Peachy+2 said...

oh that's it. All that embalming fluid shrunk her down and made her loopy.

Eva Marie said...

There comes a point as you age when you either stop caring about relevance or you start chasing it.

“Like a Prune”…

According to Megyn Kelly - laser beams shot out of the asses.
Stay classy.

rehajm said...

…at least we didn’t see her kooch like last time…

“According to Megyn Kelly - laser beams shot out of the asses.”
lol. Good thing there weren’t any stray cats around. They’d have pounced. Ouch.

Peachy+2 said...

Eva - lol

narciso said...

That skinsuitz fits a little better

Her big artificial lips affected her vocals...

Not a fan.

Peachy+2 said...

I have sometimes wondered why I cannot stand Madonna.

This really captures why.

Fast forward to the 2:27 mark. You will see the classy sex dance and then you will notice Che Guevara in the back.
ah yes - Madonna-- Another empty headed celebrity glorifying a mass-murderer. In the name of pro-communism. Does she not get that SHE would have been gunned down by that goon-- to confiscate her wealth?
nope. clueless.

You can tell a lot about a culture by its icons.

Will Cate said...

68, you say... well, that's 2 years older than me, 4 years older than my wife. We are virtually generational buddies. But the reason for the mass appeal that she still seems to garner at her age eludes me. Also, the gap in her teeth seems to have gotten wider as she has aged, and that's creepy.

bagoh20 said...

She's my age, and although she looks good (great work and makeup), she obviously can barely move. I move better than that. I would think all those years of dancing would keep her limber and spry. Maybe she should try welding therapy. It worked for me. She deserves recognition for what she accomplished in pop music, but it's clearly time to hang up the dance shoes.

bagoh20 said...

She was never much of a dancer. That was done by the backup dancers who carried her around and made her look good just prancing and voguing.
