Madonna: I'm no blasphemer

Categories: Madonna

94453__mad_lKabbalah scholar Madonna is defending herself against charges of blasphemy regarding her new song ”Isaac,” insisting that it’s not about Kabbalist sage Isaac Luria — couldn’t be, because she doesn’t know anything about him. Being a Kabbalist who doesn’t know Luria is like being a scientist who doesn’t know Darwin, but it’s nice to know that Madge is no longer in the business of deliberately offending people.

    Madonna/Esther has in her aged wisdom learned the fine art of the backpedal. She’s no fool, she knows that everyone hates her for having only one talent: self promotion. This is why she will live forever, she knows who to steal from!

  • Tim

    lets not forget her HUGE talent for making music. How can people say that Madonna isn’t an artist or that she doesn’t deserve the fame she has?

  • Michael

    Whenever a new Madonna album comes out, there is always positive and negative remarks from everybody. The fact is that people are still talking (a lot). There isn’t another artist who can provoke debate so far into his/her career. That in itself says something.

  • maria

    that is an incredible picture of her.

    While I enjoy Madonna’s music Tim, I do not think of her as a great singer/dancer. She is a fabulous entertainer, and I really do have a soft spot for her. However, her talents lie in her presentation.

  • Ashleigh

    This is completely irrelevant to the discussion, but does anyone else think Madonna looks like Rose McGowan on the left-hand side of this picture? Especially when she dyed her hair soon after joining the cast of ‘Charmed’. It really took me by surprise when I was scrolling down. Just an observation. Feel free to disagree.

  • Jeremy Brett

    Let’s revel in our irrelevance, Ashleigh, as I thought the exact same thing.

  • Shane

  • tim

  • michael r.

    how would the madonna machine survive without a little controversy? She is a talented businesswoman, nobody does it better in pop music.

  • Maddy

    Madonna is the epitome of a STAR in its truest sense. Talented or not, people will always be fascinated and talk about her, for good or ill.

  • Michael D

    Madonna IS THE BEST!!!!! No questions asked!

  • shtetl_mensch

    OMG! I thought he subject was about the Pres. of Argentina, Marona or Madrona, whatever. lol
    But while on the subject of Madonna/Esther…who cares? Here I thought the article was about Cuba Gooding in a Madonna video!
    Oh well…
    Elian Gonzales is the anti-christ.
    Cuba is not a communist country.

    “Madonna” is a supreme bitch. She seems to absolutely hate Catholics. Everything from her name, “Madonna” (Taken from Virgin Mary), to her accusing all priests of being gay. She is ignorant and intolerable. She says that all religions need to be gone, yet she subscribes to the religion, a.k.a cult, of Kabala. She is American but thinks she is British, living in Britain and even faking a British accent. She calls for peace yet she wars with her “friends” and the precepts of her “religions” own beliefs. She is a complete diva, everything has to be HER way. She is a hypocrite and is weak-minded. And the only music she can make is fruity dance music for gay men. She has NO musical talent. Anyone who thinks she does have talent needs to take some courses in Music Appreciacion. She is appauling and offensive and I find it the same that you other posters applaude her for being so.

    No, she is just the biggest one around. She is pretending she is not. Madonna could not care less. It’s too bad she is not setting a better example for her children. She needs more help than she realizes.

  • Indianafan

    Happy Birthday Madonna. You are the best. :)

  • Paula

    This witch has got you all eating out of her hand. She is vile! She should just crawl back to America where she came from. The devils daughter words cannot express how sick that female is.
