Why is general public so much harder on Madonna than Cher?

Cher is too old for the current GP to really know her

Cher has a sense of humor and doesn't take herself too seriously while Madonna always seems like she has her head up her own ass

Because Cher is a legacy act while Madonna is still releasing albums, which leaves her vulnerable to criticism & mockery when the projects aren't successful. 

 

Honestly, in music is better to end on a high. Cher hasn't released an album with original songs since 2013. She's basically retired with the odd Christmas song.

Cher is safe and people don't really think of her or have opinions of her. She is also nice. Madonna has never been likeable.

Cher "aged out" of the industry the way that people expect older women to. She does her award show appearances and projects here and there, but nobody thinks she's trying to keep up with the newer generations the way they accuse Madonna.

Madonna is cringe and Cher is not. It's not any deeper than that.

Because Cher plays dumb it's amazing, we stan a delusional queen :alexz:

 

Madonna is forever doing the most e.g. sniffing poppers on a live with terri joe for clout like :biblio:

Have you seen some of the stupid **** Madonna posts on social media? Perhaps that has something to do with it?

Cher wasn't ever seen as controversial to my knowledge. Madonna was. it's easy to make fun of them and degrade them because you think it's "deserved":michael:

Well Madonna also pushed more boundaries and had a bigger platform than Cher. I'd even argue she's more famous despite Cher starting her career a decade before M. 
 

Madonna is also more successful and achieved more. So she's reached higher heights which inevitably makes her a bigger target

This. As much as I like her, she is detestable

Madonna has always been a polarizing figure, much more than Cher. She also doesn't have the same self-deprecating humor that Cher does.

The way that Madonna has discussed religion and interpolated it into her work in the past has probably set a lot of people against her for life. Like Cher may have had controversies and been provacative back in the day, but she's never pissed off the Vatican. :rip:

Dancing Queen earned her her highest BB200 peak (with higher first week sales than Madame X, mind you) and her "odd Christmas song" went #1 on a US radio format (something Madonna has failed to do in the 21st century). :rip:

Cher has a humor about her persona, including what she wears and quite frankly better fashion style than M. It also seems like she's very comfortable with her legacy and no one can threaten her position. Madonna, since she lost her queen of pop status, became a try hard.

Madonna's career is built around being bratty and abrasive. Even in her peak, she was largely disliked as a personality and she played into it herself. Truth Or Dare very knowingly portrays her as an unlikeable narcissist who doesn't take sh*t from anyone. Other than a short window between '97 and '01, her relevance is largely based on going against the grain and being a provocateur

 

Cher doesn't have that sort of thing. She's dealt with sexism, ageism, sl*t shaming and all the other forms of toxicity women in showbiz deal with, but beyond that, she's generally respected, especially as a veteran showwoman and actress.

Cher is seen as your silly grandma who is a bit eccentric but means well

 

Madonna is still doing proper tour and full pop girl eras with award shows, performances, etc. 

 

but also, Madonna is just a lot more famous. Especially outside of the US/UK. I hate to say it because Cher is a legend but she's not close to Madonna's global sales or popularity at all. Nobody really knows Cher irl except old people, some gays, and stan twitter.

Neither does Madonna, people don't seem to get it though. She's taking a piss

When has she lost that? Cher gets hate but she isn't as famous Madonna, she's not on as many people radar as she is.
