Cindy-

Madonna never wrote her lyrics for teeny boppers or marketed herself to them (unlike Britney). She was an adult and wrote about many adult themes. Many young girls did follow her, but she was never manufactured or targeted to any specific audience, she was just herself and did and said what she wanted, and many girls (young and old) were drawn to her unique personality, look, and style. In the 80s she was more about empowerment, having your voice heard, being yourself, and enjoying yourself rather than overt sexuality which she later took on in the 90s (by then her the bulk of her fans were already adults).

Lourdes will not be singing “Like a Virgin” she’s only wearing a version of her mom’s iconic dress for a very small cameo that’s, as of now, not even in the original “Celebration” video (which included fans dressed as Madonna throughout the years). The original video has Lourdes wearing age-appropriate attire and doing some pop & locking dance moves with a backbend- the girl has some talent, no doubt! Madonna’s a really good mom, she really wants her children to be open minded and worldly, and not entitled or ignorant. Lourdes speaks three languages fluently since she was a toddler, she plays the piano, guitar, and other musical instruments. She’s in gymnastics, ballet, and other activities. She loves to read and doesn’t watch TV. The children are allowed a movie or 2 TV episodes on DVD during the weekend if they’ve earned them. Madonna makes the kids do some chores and pick up after themselves. The children eat really healthy, but occasionally have treats. There’s a really great balance. Remember that Madonna was “wild” as an adult (mainly in her 30s), but as a child, she was a straight-A student and earned a full scholarship to the Univ. of Michigan. And “sex” isn’t a bad word- as long as things are explained and are talked about when they are age-appropriate, there is nothing wrong w being open.

No, not all 12 year old girls will pay attention to the words but those of us who were truly interested in the music will. There were a lot of us out there. I believe if you are and know you are a role model for teeny boppers you will either adjust your image or lyrics accordingly or make it very clear to the public that you do not wish to cater to young girls and for them not to listen. Just my opinion…

When I was 12 listening to this song….. I liked the beat and it was fun to dance to. I didnt concern myself with being touched. I dont think I PAID that much attention to the words. Comes to show that all 12 year olds are not alike. You can only speak for yourself.

…and big deal about her being so successful in her business, that does not impress me….protecting her young daughter from growing up too fast would though.]

btw – Lourdes is stunning, so beautiful!

I am certainly not afraid of the word “sex” and quite frankly am all for it! I just don’t think that 12 year old should be pondering such ideas as “like a virgin, touched for the very first time”. I was also a 12 year old when she made it big and loved her…but I tell you, “being touched for the very first time” all of a sudden became an interest of mine when I should have been thinking about skipping rope and slumber parties. Life is hard enough as a kid…

With you here, Dnice. Madonna was a marketing genius and was 25 years old when she did Like a Virgin. And as one of those who was 12 when Madonna made it big, she was one of my faves. BTW – people here, have you actually ever listened to the lyrics of Like a Virgin? It’s not a pornagraphic song. Its about how this love she’s in makes her feel new, and untouched (like a virgin). It’s not about sex. And I think that as a woman who single handedly established a 25 year career and became one of the most powerful people in the entertainment industry, she is definitely a wonderful role model for her kids.

Why, with 6 billion people walking the earth, are we so scared of the word “sex”?
