Madonna Dedicates "Like A Virgin" To The Pope (VIDEO)

Madonna's Sticky & Sweet tour hit Rome on on Saturday, September 6th. Playing to a crowd of 60,000 people, Madonna dedicated her song "Like a Virgin" to the Pope, saying, "I dedicate this song to the pope, because I'm a child of God. All of you are also children of God." According to Reuters, "Italian newspapers gushed over the singer's electric performance and called the dedication a surprising provocation."

Oh man, I thought she'd got over this kind of pointless headline-seeking before she released 'Ray of Light'. I guess she's decided she needs to keep gunning for that publicity or else the world will forget her ... That's what happens when you build your career more on image than substance, I guess.

Excuse me, Madam Madonna, but you are so over. Flat-lined. Irrelevent. You haven't put out good music since the 90s. I am so sick and tired of seeing and reading about your derivative, repititive antics. Wait another 10 years and maybe you'll deserve a comeback. Look what Cher and Tina Turner baked in their semi-retirements. They came back with new sounds, maybe if you've got real talent you'll do the same. Please, move along now, you've worn you've become such a bore.

Apparently she isn't over since you devouted such a long tirade against her. You morons have been saying the same tired BS about her since the beginning and yet she still proves you wrong everytime.

Madonna bashing Catholicism is like watching Gallagher bash a watermelon.

That shtick is old.

In Madonna's words:
This is who I am
You can like it or not
You can take me or leave me
But I'm never gonna stop, no no

Sounds like an STD.

Poor old lady..

Madonna hasn't been relevant since the 80's.

She still sure knows how to play the media, though. It was always her only talent.

She always throws sex and religion together, deliberately. Madonna knows that formula gets instant media coverage, which fuels controversy, which keeps her in the public eye, which keeps her career alive. http://mespace.wordpress.com

I like Madonna, she is irreverent and scandalous. I can only pray that lil Lola turns out just like her old lady.
What will be truly amazing is seeing Madonna try and pull this off on her 60th. Maybe she will give discounts to AARP members!

She looks great. If all of you think this is just rewarding bad behavior don't post your juvenile insults. She looks great and once again, telling it like it is.

Just remember: Insult her all you want. It changes nothing.

[mcole]

You need help. Madonna Derangement Syndrome.

I don't think that was necessary. Madonna only you will know who gets the last laugh!

Eew. Enough already, Madonna!

I clicked over to this headline specifically to ask HuffPo to please STOP rewarding Madonna for her every pathetic attempt to get more publicity. For crying out loud. This game of hers is more than 20 years old.
