Madonna Hits "Emotionally Retarded" People At Post-Split Show (VIDEO)

The night after her divorce from Guy Ritchie was confirmed, Madonna slammed the "emotionally retarded" at during her Sticky & Sweet tour. Performing in Boston, Madonna introduced the song "Miles Away" (about a couple who grow apart) by saying, "This song is for the emotionally retarded. You might know a few people who fall into that category - god knows I do."

The video is grainy, but you can hear her say it: (Scroll for the song's lyrics)

Lyrics to the song "Miles Away":
I just woke up from a fuzzy dream
You never would believe those things that I had seen
I looked in the mirror and I saw your face
You looked right through me, you were miles away

All my dreams they fade away
I'll never be the same
If you could see me the way you see yourself
I can't pretend to be someone else

You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we're miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best when we're miles away

So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away

When no one's around then I have you here
I begin to see the picture, it becomes so clear
You always have the biggest heart,
When we're six thousand miles apart

Too much of no sound
Uncomfortable silence can be so loud
Those three words are never enough
When it's long distance love

You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we're miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best when we're miles away

So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away

I'm alright, don't be sorry, but it's true
When I'm gone you'll realize
That I'm the best thing that happened to you

You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we're miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best when we're miles a-a-away...

You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we're miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best when we're miles away

So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away

whats the big deal? she is Madonna.

[GlimmerofDope]

Madonna is turning into a man baby! You can't fault Guy for wanting a woman.....­.

[NTO08]

Madonna has been bisexual, what with her affairs with Sanda Bernhard and others...n­ot a problem, but she reminds me of her idol, Marlene Dietrich, who also had a pansexual nature...

[sansego2000]

Everyone knows what she is talking about, it is just not a very smart way of saying it.

[NTO08]

Cheap shot...sav­e it for the court room, honey.

[pipp]

Madonna like McCain should be put out to pasture. Madonna like Palin has nothing worth listening to.

[MoNut]

Guy Ritchie IS "emotionally retarded".­..

When they first married I thought it was because he was a bit on the timid side....

But, sit next to him at one of her shows (when he finally mopes his way into one, that is) and you too can see how the stick up his butt overshadows his face.

He pouts and mopes about like a spoiled jealous child just like John McCain. He probably drove Madonna absolutely nuts by acting like another child in the family rather than a co-equal adult.

Just seeing the headline with the words "emotionally retarded" was like having an epiphany after a long time mystery is finally solved....

Leave it to Madonna to come up with the perfect metaphor for the big child she's finally been driven to force-ween from teet....

"Don't go for second best, baby..."

Amen, Madonna.

Amen.

[pipp]

Amen? Even if you had seen Guy walk into one of her concerts..­.how many times would that be now that you are a an expert on his demeanor at one? Amen? From the mother of their children? Amen?
Amen when she finally grows into her fame.

[NTO08]

Guy Ritchie was doing well until he fell under her spell...he must be so happy to have gotten her out of his hair...

I feel sorry for the kids...onc­e again, mere pawns in the egotism of celebrities whose "personal growth" and welfare matter more than their children..­.

She adopted a child for less than altruistic reasons...­for PR, and to mimic Angelina Jolie...NO­T good reasons to adopt...

[XCITIZEN]

Only the hardest hitting news from Huffinton Post!

Madonna, I love ya, but it's always stupid to throw the word 'retarded' around casually, AND, has anyone told you, you're starting to look like one of those puppets from TEAM AMERICA: World Police?

[CowgirlAmy]

Just so most of you know, Mariah Carey fans have sent over, once again, their board minions to bash Madonna on this site with countless user names(and they are bragging about it). 99% of the anti-Madonna comments are from them. They even spend some of their time posting on other articles to keep up appearances. Check it out for yourselves. Mariah.com

[NoSillyName]

There you are, CGA! I have never been, nor will I ever go to a mariahcarey website. I am not a fan of any POP singers so I don't frequent their websites. Does it matter who is commenting where? Is this a BATTLE OF THE POPSTARS? Some people simply like different kinds of music... jazz, classical, fusion, '60s & '70s rock for example and do not like madge.

[CowgirlAmy]

Oh lemme guess. You are too good for pop music. You like . Yeah we get it. Now, run along and go listen to that music no one has ever heard of and the rest of us "don't get" because its sooo deep. Spare me. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it is bad or generic.

[CowgirlAmy]

You like *insert no name band no one has ever heard of or will ever care about*.

[NTO08]

How silly...

[tsloan]

Silly rabbit....­.tricks are for kids....

[Lozange]

Bet you Guy Ritchie won't be stuck alone for long. After what he's put up with, any woman will come across to him as angelic! Grow up Madonna, you're no Marilyn Monroe and A-Rod is no Di Maggio - what a cliché!

[Elwood]

What's Cindy McCain doing there?

... Oh, nevermind, that's Madonna.

[whoknew---]

You may not agree with Madonna's lifestyle but----

Madonna is a survivor and did it all on her own starting out in New York with only $30 in her pocket....
That takes a great deal of talent, intelligence, and strength..­.
Considering the usual lifespan of an entertainer that in itself is an amazing feat....

[1manisland]

Talent ! I don't think she even writes her own music. Talent is when you can write the lyrics and compose the music and perform it. That acting like a tramp thing got old 20 yrs. ago. You think after having a few kids she would have grown up just a bit. The best thing to happen to Guy Ritchie is this divorce. She is classless white trash IMO .

[CowgirlAmy]

Where do you people come from? How unbelievably st*pid and uninformed can some of you get? She has written her own music her entire career. She has written 95% of her own material. Rick Knowles, a very respected and well known music producer, says she is one of the best songwriters in the biz, saying she is on par with Billy Joel and Carole King. Please, don't embarass yourselves with your stunning ignorance in your need to bash Madonna. NoSillyName is bad enough but we all know he is "RainbowButterfly" on the Mariah Carey board and brags about his constant slamming of Madonna on HuffPo.

[NoSillyName]

She used people as stepping stones.

[CowgirlAmy]

Wahhh wahhhh I hate Madonna so much I am going to spend my entire day responding to people who like her and bash her. Wahhhhh

[Dave01]

Bitter! Party of One!

[WolfLarsen]

I guess now she can lose the phony English accent.

Get a clue Gwyneth...­..and do the same.

[OtayPanky]

Too easy.

[ranch111]

Why is she successful?

[Furby]

She did it by not letting her detractors discourage her, and by not letting the censors intimidate her. She did it through hard work and independent thinking. She didn't always succeed but dusted herself off and carried on. So you see, you too can be successful some day if you take a page from her book.

[NoSillyName]

Thanks, but no thanks.

[NTO08]

She did it through hard work and independent thinking..­.

She did it by walking over people, never treating her fans with respect, and acquiring an air of pretension she so unjustly wears.

I use to love her...but no more.

[KristenfromMA]

Projection - it's not just for republicans.

[lechatnoir]

lol! You nailed it.
