Meanwhile the Confessions II era is unprecedented territory and already the most successful, relevant and acclaimed era from a woman over 60 in music history. Madonna has more streams than every female artist pre-1990. Lady Gaga has more streams than Karol G. 1980s Madonna - 12b Whitney Houston - 8b Céline Dion - 7.5b Enya - 5.3b Kylie Minogue - 4.2b 2000s Taylor Swift - 128b Rihanna - 61b Nicki Minaj - 43b Lana Del Rey - 42b Lady Gaga - 37.8b (and 2k away from surpassed by Karol G)- Roisin Murphy hits out at 'confused young people' as she addresses her "cancellation"

As far as I'm aware Roisin was cancelled just by her comments on puberty blockers. I haven't kept up with what she has said since. Gender nonconforming children (effeminate boys, masculine girls) are disproportionately "ideal candidates" for puberty blockers. Children who are gender nonconforming are roughly 20 times more likely to grow up to be homosexual. A 1998 case study following 111 children given puberty blockers at age 13. Of the 70 patients who became 'ready' to take cross-sex hormones, 69 were homosexual or bisexual and only 1 patient was heterosexual. Scientists followed 139 gender dysphoric boys from 1989-2002 and found that 88% of boys outgrow gender dysphoria by age 20 when left alone. Of those boys, 63.6% turned out to be same-sex attracted. 80-90% of Tavistock patients were same sex attracted. Studies show children who grow up to be LGB were 98% more likely to follow onto cross sex hormones after being given puberty blockers. The sequence of puberty blockers > cross sex hormones results in sterility 100% of the time, as well as underdeveloped genitals and sexual function. Essentially homosexual people are disproportionately "eligible" for a process that results in sterility, genital disfigurement and absence/loss of sexual function. If it was a different group pushing this (say, conservatives) it would be considered a homosexual genocide and every commenter in this thread would be taking the exact opposite stance. Homophobic belief systems/practices will always be on the wrong side of history.- Predict the genre of Taylor Swift's next album

This thread will be very interesting to look back on in 10 years or so- Madonna at 68 >>> Lady Gaga in terms of House Music. Why?
Because Madonna has a passion for (and authentic connection to) house music whereas the other song is a caricature created for the sole purpose of pandering to a cynical (homophobic) idea of what house music is. Really it's an insult to LMs music taste, and the fact they're defending the song with their lives makes it all the more embarrassing and sad.- Be honest: did you ever listen to Gaga's jazz albums?
I would listen if it was original material and modernising the genre, presented as an actual era. But basic covers of ancient standards with their original arrangements doesn't interest me in the slightest. It kinda feels like Trisha Paytas cosplay where her audience just accepts that she will keep doing it because she loves it, but no one asked for it or would care if she stopped.- Stereogum reviews Bring Your Love: "reminds me a bit of Rain On Me"
Madonna referencing her own 90s music = Rain on Me?- Now we can officially announce the trinity of the current MPGs of this gen.
