MADONNA & QUEEN

It's strange how in all those years the one artist that gained the most iconic status in contemporary music never seemed to acknowledged Queen or F.Mercury.
And vice-versa. (a bit strange how Freddie never noticed her)
I seem to remember a Madonna's statement on F. Mercury tribute concert but that was probably a formality.

So, am i missing something or that's about it?

so.
they never met and never mentioned each other.
ok.
what's the point ???!

They've got *almost* nothing in common, methinks.

They didn;t need to meet to express some form of opinion. It's not like they had to, but since both shared controversial imagery and were sexually suggestive in their own way there is some kind of connection in the shock value territory. But i guess Madonna was too egocentric to acknowledge Mercury/ Queen and Freddie smart enough to undertsnad Madonna was more marketing and product than genuine artistic experession. No big deal whatsoever...

I never found Madonna particularly hard not to notice so I can definitely relate. :)

misread..thought it said....maradona.

I remember reading somewhere that she wanted to perform at the Freddie Mercury Tribute, but they turned her down due to a complete lack of any proof that she had either praised (eg. naming her inspirations) or made mention of the band previously...or something along those lines anyways.

I don't know how much truth there is to that, so take it with a grain of salt.

I asked Brian about this via his soapbox a couple of years ago and his answer was, that "these rumours are not true".
They wanted her to perform on the Freddie Tribute and she was keen to come, but then wasn't able for one reason or another.

I'm glad she didn't appear at the tribute, remember live 8 ?
"London, are you ready to fucking rock ?"
Not really appropriate for early evening t.v.
And Mariah Carey wiped the floor wi' the lot o' them by the way !

She mentions Brian in one of her lyrics actually.."Brian May, and Monroe Deitrich and DiMaggio", its from Vogue.

...and then she adds

Grace Kelly; Harlow, Jean
Picture of a band called QUEEN

Every morning when I get up, I am grateful for another day where Brian May and Roger Taylor haven't stooped to the level of working with Madonna. The further they keep that deranged tart from Queen, the better.

Still would have preferred a new song collaboration "QUEEN + MADONNA"

*INSTEAD OF 5IVE and dappy

To miss the old music artist and want to listen their all song at the one platform then this is the great platform for yourself. Get the all music with lyrics at the essayoneday who provide the all old album free of cost to all music lover.

She also name-checked FM in one of her recent songs, on her last record. I don't mind Madonna, lots of very good pop songs, her Ray of Light album is mostly great.
