Is Madonna the worst actress of all time?


I think so!

reply

Yes she certainly is, Madonna has very little real talent, she can't sing, she can't dance, she can't act, all she can do is sell herself to the dumb masses. She's just a very old Britney Spears.

Well put! Could not agree more!

Youre an idiot,, comparing madonna to Britney is insulting to Madonna and they're nothing alike.. Britney idolizes madonna if anything. Madonna cant act, agreed there but lots of people would disagree in your opinion that she cant sing or dance-she is a phenomenal dancer, and was a dancer before she was a singer. For someone who has "no talent". she has released 15 albums, toured the world several times, and has been in the Billboard charts continously for the last twenty-five years.Now go back to your room.

You're proving my point, thank you PissNAz! It's just like I said, she appeals to the dumb masses, the uneducated people - you clearly belong there kid.

Please, keep defending that old washed up talentless Britney Spears, she's counting on clueless fanboys like you. ROFL & LMAO, thanks!

Why are you watching Swept Away if youre not a Madonna fan??? Seriously did you actually think you would enjoy it? Whose the stupid one here?It is agreed madonna cannot act but you saying Madonna has no talent is really uncalled for. She had outsold many artists and has managed to have a consistent career the last 25 years. How about naming some truly talentless people who we cant seem to get enough of:Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and you. I get the impression you don't like anyone who is successful and better looking than you.

reply

Why on earth are you watching Swept Away if youre not a Madonna fan??? Why else would anyone watch it??


Uneducated people also shouldn't have to say ROFL & LMAO. Specifically "rolls on floor laughing". Idiot.

It's a sad thing that your adventures have ended here

LOL
This movie was not very good.
Yes, she is not the greatest actress on earth.
But don't you insult her on her other talents.

Madonna is an iconic woman and she is a legend.

She doesn't have the most powerful voice ever but the woman sold more than 300 milion records.
Madonna is the Queen of Pop, and she will always be remembered.

I agree that in this movie Madonna was a very bad actor - unless she was playing a bad actor in which case she's excellent.....

reply

I think she did okay in this movie.

reply

yes

i think the film would've been ok without her

with her it is relentlessly shti

reply

I thought she was okay. I quite liked it.

reply

If not, she must be close.

reply

At least one of the worst.

reply

She can be good if she has a role that suits her and a director that knows how to ease her out of her insecurities. She's great in "Evita", "Dangerous Game", "A League of their Own" and "Desperately Seeking Susan" but not many others. Hardly one of the worst but certainly not consistently great either.

reply

Evita was more of a singing role however, requiring very little spoken dialogue.

The trouble is that it's way too late in the day for her to be taken seriously (in my opinion) . She's been so consistently bad in her movie roles that audiences can't relax and buy into any character she is trying to portray because they automatically expect her to be obvious and unconvincing.

I believe the reason for this is because Madonna is simply too self-aware and cannot truly become the character she is portraying. I suspect she's so focused on her appearance and the lighting etc. that she just can't concentrate fully on acting out the role and losing herself in the part. This is exceptionally evident in this "Swept Away" film - most memorably during a few desert island scenes whereby she's doing that whole misplaced and unnatural rapid fluttering of her eyelashes. It is completely forced as are a lot of her facial expressions on the boat scenes. Yes, she's acting but there is little subtlety in her expressions which is why everything looks so wooden.

I think the worst would be Meryl Streep. Madonna is better than her.

For the sake of your sanity I hope you are joking!
