In the song "I Dont Give A" are the lyrics "baby Jesus on the stairs..." or is it "baby Jesus understands"?? Please settle this bet for me. I love you.
zeshtorm2422 karma
I don't really have any question for you. I love your music. Acknowledge me.

Hi Madonna!! Listen, I go through a rough breakup after a 3 year relationship with my bf...what should I do to ease the pain?? Which of your songs should I play repeatedly???

Pharell Williams once said he suggested to Daft Punk that they should produce for you. Frankly, it would be the ultimate fucking collaboration, ever. Would you consider it?

Is your publicist or an intern typing everything for you? Be honest. This is still awesome. Thank you!

Hi, M! I hope you're doing well. ♥ What is the last dream you remember that you're willing to share?
_Madonna3260 karma
Brad Pitt and I were living together and there was a small blonde child in the bed. Sorry Angelina, it was only a dream.

Throughout your career you've taken a stand against homophobia, sexism, ageism etc. but what current issues drive you to voice your opinion creatively ?
_Madonna2969 karma
Censoring of artists, around the world. Censorship - for instance Pussy Riot.

“American Life” was an unfairly maligned album and many of you fans rank it as one of your best. What do you think critics and casual listeners “didn’t get” about that album?
_Madonna1659 karma
because i dealt with alot of controversial issues in it. i criticized american politics, the entertainment business in hollywood..i was in an angry mood when i was making it. maybe that came across. but i was in an angry mood when i made my last album too

Hey M, what's the first thing that comes to your mind when you enter on stage to a roaring crowd?
iamjanthony874 karma
Ray of Light album helped me come into my own in small town Nebraska, and know that there was love and acceptance in my future. So many of us have had similar experiences through your music. I can't imagine what that must feel like for you. How often do you think about who your art is reaching?
_Madonna1360 karma
only when i hear comments like this from people do i think about it the rest of the time i only think of how i would like to explress myself i think about expression not results
Quixotic91866 karma
Madonna (holy shit, I can’t believe I’m even potentially talking to you),
I’m a 22 year old gay guy (how’s that for a stereotype?) living in Texas, and I just want to thank you for everything you do. When I went to your Dallas show last year I ended up bringing my very conservative mother with me, and you brought us much closer together. She has never been ok with me being gay, and she still isn’t completely there yet, but, her eyes were opened for those two hours. She danced with the gay couple next to us during “Girl Gone Wild,” sang at the top of her lungs during “Express Yourself” (nice job reclaiming your song, by the way), and held me during “Like A Prayer,” but, what really struck her was your “Nobody Knows Me” video interlude. When she saw me and most of the people around us begin to cry, I think it struck a chord in her.
So, even with all of the unwarranted criticism you receive, thank you for continuing to speak out and stand by your message. Thank you for standing up for gay rights when it WASN’T a popular thing to do. Thank you for fighting against misogyny and ageism. Thank you for being genuine and not exploiting your fans, unlike certain charlatans that like to try and emulate your career. Most of all, thank you for continuing to make great, and criminally underrated, music.
I guess I should throw actual questions in here after that diatribe.
Have you ever considered making an album of acoustic or orchestral reworkings of your personal favorite songs (from your back catalogue)?
Also, if you met someone that had never listened to one of your albums as a whole, which one would you personally recommend that they listen to? What is the quintessential Madonna album according to you?
Thanks so much for doing this, and I hope you get back in the studio soon!

Did you heard about technical mastering issues on some "MDNA World Tour" DVD & Blu-Rays in Europe ?
_Madonna1512 karma
yes and im absolutely horrified. my label is looking into it...trying to get to the bottom of it. it might be a case of old technology not working with new technology. please be patient.
jasonicon768 karma
I have so much respect for you for answering this question. You have INTEGRITY! Love that about you. xo
_Madonna1799 karma

gehrettellis638 karma
I know you love soundtracks. Which ones have you been listening to recently?
madonnamatt549 karma
In your MDNA tour DVD you talk about how much you appreciate the love of your fans, and at the end of masterpiece i can see the emotion in your eyes. What do your fans mean to you? You mean so much to use. we really truly love you
_Madonna1066 karma
we exist because of one another so its circuitry its totally reciprocated.
davidsmom9310499 karma
Madonna I want to apologize for booing at your concert oct 16th 2008. You mentioned Obama and I booed . I have felt bad for years after. I think you are a wonderful person and an amazing artist. Thank you for inspiring me all these years.
_Madonna1307 karma

Pussy Riot member Maria Alekhina has unfortunately been denied parole and a Russian news outlet’s headline “No Russian Feels Any Respect for Pussy Riot” is less than progressive. How important do you feel it is an artist’s duty to voice forth a statement of equity between such issues and do you feel it’s being used enough in the current year 2013?
(I want to sincerely thank you for your support for social and political justice, specifically the Pussy Riot movement. I’ve been a fan since I was 4 years old. I’m 24 now. “You’ll See” was the first proper single I’d ever owned. Thank you also for the great music & being an inspiration to generations upon generations).
_Madonna590 karma
its essential its the artsts responsibility to reflect society and have the freedom to express themselves

Big fan and current University of Michigan student here. What is the craziest thing that has ever happened during one of your concerts?
_Madonna703 karma
all the power went out in the middle of the show for an hour in a stadium in Cordoba. That was fun
_Madonna688 karma
that she was the subject of her art all of her work is a self portrait and yet she shared universal stories and feelings by sharing her personal story also she was a freedom fighter and she lived a controversial life and was a survivor so i admire her life story and art the way she lived her life as well as her art
french_boy353 karma
In Die Another Day (love this song !) you say : "Sigmund Freud, analyse this". Can you explain why ? You like his work ?
Hope a new album for 2014 ! I can't wait 4 years again... Because if you are not getting old (.), I do ! ahah
_Madonna1624 karma
actually im not a big fan of Sigmund Freud, it was meant to be ironic because i dont think everything can be analyzed i think he was too celebral and a misogynist. im a fan of carl jung.
jaimeeexo307 karma
why do you think people have such a hard time wrapping their head around everything you do? it seems like people are so confused by you.
_Madonna518 karma

Hi Madonna. If you decide to write a book for women, what is the first subject that comes to your mind?
Atame138 karma
Hi Madonna, years ago during an interview on Italian television, while answering a question about the relationship you have with your fans you said:"it's like a love relationship, sometime they love me, sometime they hate me". Is is still so?
_Madonna70 karma
i dont remember saying that and if someones your fan i dont see where hate comes into the picture
_Madonna42 karma

You have accomplished pretty much everything. What's your proudest achievement as an artist?
twinmatrix20 karma
Would you consider ever doing a small fan tour with less known songs (but very loved) like Skin, Falling Free, Time Stood Still etc for the real fans?
gelloh16 karma
My love! I know many a gay man (including myself) have performed to one of your songs, but I must ask, when was the last time you saw a good drag show? Sending you a zillion kisses from Vancouver! XOXO
joshuazachary9313 karma
Madonna, I'm trying to make a 2013 playlist, what is the song this year that you have playing on repeat nonstop? I could use the help. =]
_Madonna63 karma
