Eh... I just judge the music. And that has been subpar since COADF. But I don't particularly care for whatever else that is purposely created by her, or manufactured by the media, or by the internet. Like Gaga coming for her crown, that she should act her age, that she should stfu, that BTW is a ripoff, "reductive", .... It's all entertainment made for the internet masses. A recent example: if I read people claiming Madonna is copying Gaga based on 5 pictures of the MDNA tour stage that has leaked, all I can do is chuckle. I mean, really? The only thing you can conclude from them is that she is using a crucifix again.
I think Madonna should have focused more on her music instead of her movie director's career (lol) and other side stuff, and I will give her flack for that. But the woman can do whatever the hell she wants besides that, and I won't give a shit if it's "good" or "bad". When I heard the Express Yourself - Born This Way medley, the first thing I noticed was that she sounded pretty good live. Not that "omg this is so petty of her the shade the shade!".
