My friend saw the Material Mom’s not-so-secret guest appearance at Roxy the other weekend (Roxy alerted their mailing list a week before saying she was NOT coming, but New Yorkers called bullshit). She showed shortly after 2AM, (here’s a pic), and selected gay men from the audience to take turns dancing with her. The roars were deafening of course … But is Madonna still relevant in the music world?

People have compared the original pop blondie to Gwen Stefani since the latter’s solo jawn dropped last year. (Incidentally, Gwen gets the lesbian vote.) Even Madonna’s chimed in:

[Gwen] ripped me off. We work with a lot of the same people. She married a Brit, she’s got blonde hair and she likes fashion. But I don’t mind. I think she’s very sweet and talented.

Let’s take a look at the girls’ new videos and compare.

Download Madonna’s “Hung Up” video here. (AVI)
Download Gwen Stefani’s “Luxurious” video here. (MPG? But I can only get audio … better link coming)

Madonna Gwen
SONG: “Hung Up” “Luxurious”
SAMPLES: ABBA Isley Brothers
RELIGION: Kabbalah Harajuku
CROTCH: Too much Not enough


I’m not particularly impressed with either. Guess it’s a toss up –

Wait, this just in:

Madonna had the most vicious body odour. It was like she had not showered in a week. She was a great dancer, but I tried not to get too close to her or I would literally pass out.

OK, Gwen wins this round (unless she starts writing children’s books). But curious what you think of the new Madonna tune…

UPDATE VIA JIM: A Gwen Stefani children’s book would sound like this. Check out the other Mother Goose Rocks flash vids while you’re at it. U2 & the Pope do a kick-ass “Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes.”

    I danced so much to Madonna that my Buttplug fell out!

  3. God, madonna’s Gross…How could anyone think a 47 year old lady rolling around flapping her ass everywhere think, “Oh, That’s Cool”…Cause if a regular 47 year old would do that, we’d think it was gross..what makes madonna so special? Because she has money? “Oooh, All Hail madonna” or is it the fact that she has kaballa to back her up? All in all, I think madonnas ready to go to a retirement home, someone needs to calm that crazy ass down.

    Please…Madonna vs NO ONE…she’s MADONNA no surname necessary we all know her! It’s like comparing Oprah to Jerry Springer–people known on a first name basis always work literally WORK! And with reason she worked the shyt out of Hung Up!…look at the body 40ish 2 beautiful children…And she’s a DIVA…DIVAs always work…she came off Holiday to show Brittany how to work a video…and then came back and let all the girls know…”No time soon ladies, I’m MADONNA–a Diva always shines…Brittany (sorry Madonna, I know you’re friends), is trailor park from the rooter to the tooter (she pretended to be a star, possibly a diva and let us all down), Madonna will never let us down! Madonna may have come in out of the cold but she knew what her destiny was; she knew the life she was destined to lead and managed to break barriers at the speed of sound in doing so FOR HERSELF AND OTHERS (GENEROUS)…she is to lead the life of a Diva and when you’re that sure of your intent and purpose and you dare to dream, headline and conquer that makes you FIERCE and no one will ever be able to denounce her throne…she likens to Queen Elizabeth-she too will reign forever and she’ll always be first…long live the Queen (Madonna)! Furthermore, she IS so Fierce SHE NEEDS NO ONES CONFIRMATION, AFFIRMATION NOR DOES SHE CARE, SHE’S FIERCE NOT BECAUSE SHE THINKS SHE IS BUT BECAUSE YOU AND I KNOW SHE IS AND SHE KNOWS WE KNOW! KOBY LOVES U MADONNA! CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU IN MIA…I’LL BE FIERCE IF JUST FOR THAT NIGHT BECAUSE I’M UNDER THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE AND A TRUE LEGENDARY DIVA! Real friends/fans don’t listen to your gift for 20 years and then pick the next “thing”!
    Madonna forever!

    P.S. IF VH1 DID A REAL DIVA’S LIVE, SHE’D BE THE ONLY ONE ON STAGE!

    P.S.S. When the torch is passed if you decide to do so…I hope it remains in the royal family…I hope it is passed to Lourdes!

    A fag hag that sags, Madonna makes straight guys puke now.

    Madonnas getting old she looked fat in that music video.

    I think gwen has her owen style and is totally not copying off of madonna.

    Madonnas old, flabby, and needs to give up where little slinky clothing. Because trust me she doesnt not look good anymore.

    I think Madonna’s new song is great, but she needs a little more than a leotard in the beginning of the video, especially for her age because it’s really gross. It’s good to compete, but there’s also crossing the line. Gwen stefani’s video and song are awesome! She doesn’t have to show her whole crotch for sex appeal. Gwen and Madonna should NOT be competing though. The media always goes to far with this shit. Good luck to both of them!

  9. Well, to anyone with any style, taste, or especially individuality….this would be a moot point. They are conformist pigs in the garb of trendsetters. A crime that should be punishable by death, but instead earns you fame and adoration in that ass-backwards sorry excuse for a country. No wonder the world laughs at the USA.

    Pigs….the lot of you.

  10. madge has a dusty crusty hole,
    gwen is hot.
    the end.

  11. Man is she sexy. I boned as soon as I saw her. But now I am about to be sick. As the video went on I saw her legs more and at the end of the day, they are curvy, but fat. I mean if I was to try and get in bed with her I would feel so awkward. Being thin myself, I go for smaller women, but my legs would be sticks compared to those. I have been in bed with a woman who was physically larger before and I hated it, you are meant to be bigger than the women. That video was sick. Her legs were so muscley, they were basically man’s legs.

    Dave Froggatt, I love your positive energy. Madonna is a legend, and that’s fact. Gwen may possibly be one someday as well. They are both successful entertainers who are well adored. All people have different ideas about what they feel is the greatest. The wonderful thing is to be passionate about it, but the hatred will consume you. I grew up on Madonna music and I also enjoy Gwen’s music now. As far as age is concerned, Madonna looks amazing and she works at it. There’s nothing wrong with her style, her dancing, or her music. Culture does that to people. Don’t hate because it different than what you’re used to being exposed to. Open your mind, allow yourself to experience new things. You don’t have to like it, but there’s no reason to hate. Evolution is not by lack of exposure.
    Madonna’s new album is a winner. She’s exquisite and for any age, she looks incredible. Peace to you all no matter what artist you enjoy listening to.

  13. As you can see, I am a huge fan of Gwen Stefani. She’s really cool in all of her music videos and I think that she is a really talented singer. I really like how she is so hyper and especially liked how she kicked a cereal box in “Hollaback Girl” (she did an awesome roundhouse kick). As for Madonna, I don’t really know much about her except for the fact that she’s an inspiration to Gwen. I’m not going to judge either of them.

    I like hung up better than luxoriouse because the tune of Hung up and the music just wants to make you dance like Lose control by: Missy Eliot but I’m not saying Madonna and Missy have anything in common I’m just saying that both of there song want to make you dance and Luxorious doesnt want you to make you do anything but this is the only Madonna song I like.

    Madonna looks great, her legs are thick but that’s musclarity, an indication of fitness and vitality for all you nim-wits. Her face ain’t all that hot, never was, but her body is still more than a bit bangable. Gwen Stefani ain’t that damn young either, she’s like 37 isn’t she?

    I don’t know, Madonna’s the only pop music I give a shit about, I’m more into Seether, the Used, System of a Down, etc, but when Madonna releases a record, I’m there, if that makes me a fag, that’s fine, her new record rocks the party.

    Y’all are a bunch of serious losers with nothing better to do.

    ‘Nuff said. Now go home before your mommies realize you’re been out banging the neighbors.

  17. do you know madonna? if you know her you will realize immedietly that she is the best!
    a living legend!and also her hung up
    is the best! i grew up with her music and also i know she is the best!
    she locks very good at her age.she locks like she has 40! madonna is the best!

  18. Madonna is the best!she looks like she has 40 not 47. she has a beatiful body and she will be always on top!

  19. why is anyone even comparing madonna and gwen????
    they are both individual people. gwen has a great voice but she is trying WAY to hard(whats with the rap thing???)as for madonna , just because shes 47 it DOESNT mean shes a bag or whatever you narrow minded simpletons call her. madonna is bursting with undescribable brilliance,and you would realise that if you read her interviews(madonnavillage.com)(especially the one with david letterman)and learnt about her history.as for the whole ”selling herself”thing,so she showed her crotch in a video,so she masturbated on stage,so she did a book on sex, SO WHAT.i mean get over it,just because shes not afraid of her sexuality it doesnt mean that shes a skank,she does all of these crazy things like burning crosses and making out with women on live tv because thats just her, she likes to keep things fun,imagine how boring the world would be without her. and by the way i cant believe people are actually taking her comment on gwen seriously. for gods sake take a joke.

  20. Although I am a huge Gwen fan, I don’t really know all that much about Madonna. I’ve seen her “Hung Up” video and it was interesting. It seems as though they were inspired by each other and are good friends so those of you who are compariing them are actually not making the other one feel better, and it’s mean too. Who do you people think you are to judge anybody?

  21. ERIC LALA AN MODONNA YOU ALL NEED TO GO HANG YOURSELVES OR FUKIN SLIT YOUR THROATS YOU PATHETIC USELESS PIECES OF SHITE

    Gwen nunca imito a madonna, ella siempre hizo ska, rock, reggae, rock steady, musica mucho mejor que la de madonna.Gwen acumula mayor experiencia musical, a pesar de ser mas chica. Y gwen es mas bonita

    You all are so stupid. Gwen Stefani is completely different from Madonna. Madonna doesnt have a backround like Gwen. Gwen wrote and sang music for 9 years before No Doubt was even on the radio. She didnt do it to become famous. Gwen has explored so many different styles of music and cultures. Im from LA and my HipHop,Pop,and Rock Radio station play Gwens music.

    Gwen all over the map.

    And Madonna??

    Madonna hasnt done anything but sell herself.

    Madonna is bigger and 100 times more famous but why? BECAUSE she showed her tits, she sold sex, she showed her ass, she burned crosses,she kisses girls on national tv, she made headlines. Gwen Stefani hasnt needed any of that for her success.

    Madonna wins the famous vote

    BUT

    Gwen has the credibility.

  28. thank you very much for your help. You guys 75601 rock, thanks again.
