This Much I Know… Madonna

So she’s back! Once again pouring herself into those lycra outfits, with a face 40 years younger than her body, airbrushed to within an inch of recognition. It can only be the one and only Madonna and this much I know, it’s time she was stopped! Never mind the fact that at one point she was the untouchable, gay icon, she’s dragging the whole thing out much too long. Firstly, she hasn’t made a good album since Music in 2000 (and even that is open to debate) since then with each album her credibility slides further down the muddy hill, as she desperately tries to remain current; even though she’s of the generation that would use the term ‘down with the kids’. This time ‘Madge’ has finally lost her grip on the slippery slope and has sunk into the muddy swamp below, leaving her covered in a brown sticky substance, to which you could compare her music. But it’s not only the art form of music that she is intent on offending these days, oh no! She’s continued her attack on the film industry as well, releasing the sentimental drivel, ‘W.E’, which was panned by critics and audiences alike.
In a desperate attempt to keep herself young, as well as nipping, tucking and exposing as much flesh as possible, she keeps teaming up with much younger popular artists. In 2007 she made out with Britney and Christina at the VMA’s, then in 2009 saw her gyrating against Justin Timberlake, at half her age both encounters are highly disturbing. But now the whole sorry affair has moved from disturbing to just plain depressing, as, in her latest video for the ear offensive song Give Me All Your Luvin’, Madonna has employed girls of the moment, M.I.A and Nicki Minaj. However, this little team hasn’t worked quite as well as she’d hoped it would, with naughty M.I.A swearing at the Super Bowl. ‘Well you kids can be unpredictable sometimes’, I can only imagine is how Madge is consoling herself.
Finally, I know it’s time Madonna was stopped because she’s just too damn old! She’s 53 now, and though there’s nothing wrong with the process of ageing; it’s a perfectly natural thing. What is not natural, however, is for her to still be writhing around, wearing shockingly little. Nobody wants to see her chicken legs and veiny arms, giving her the overall look of too many chicken breasts inside a Tesco plastic bag. Therefore, just to reiterate, this much I know, that Madonna must be stopped, for offending our ears and eyes, and scaring small children when it isn’t even Halloween.
