Madonna is confusing us today. We can’t tell if she’s being kind about Britney Spears or Lady Gaga, or handing them a massive backhanded compliment.
Chatting to The Advocate, Madonna was asked about a recent Time magazine quote that called Madonna “the Lady Gaga of the ‘80s”, in the regards to her large gay following. A fair enough – if not slightly cheeky – question, but it’s Madonna’s response that is perplexing us...
“It seems natural,” says Madge, “And I can see why she has a young gay following. I can see that they connect to her kind of not fitting into the conventional norm.”
So far so good, but this is where we get a bit lost…
“I mean, she’s not Britney Spears. She’s not built like a brick sh*thouse. She seems to have had a challenging upbringing, and so I can see where she would also have that kind of connection, a symbiotic relationship with gay men.”
We not entirely sure what Madonna means when she says that Lady Gaga isn’t built like a “brick sh*thouse” and Brit is. We although thought that GaGa seems pretty strong? Is she dissing GaGa or Britney, neither or just one of them?
Answers on a postcard – or in the comments box below, that’s probs a bit easier…
