'Sweating to the Oldies' Madonna Sparks Ageism Controversy With Tour Performance (Video)

AngieArtist

Madonna is 65. She is still touring and performing and she is REALLY performing. She has not made her stuff acoustic and moved to sitting on a stool or at a piano. She is dancing and moving and giving her fans what they have always expected from her: A PERFORMANCE. She is also giving us something else people expect from Madonna: CONTROVERSY.

From all of our digging that seems to be the clip that started the uproar on social media. There are tons of others using the same clip as well. The controversy is: Just because Madonna CAN do that, SHOULD she be doing that? 

Many are speaking out saying it is ageist to even question it. Her supporters say If her fans still love it then y'all should shut up. Many say, time for her to retire and stop doing that kind of performance.  

Honestly, we fall on the side of, if she CAN do it and people are paying her money to see it, she can just keep on keeping on. This writer is a Gen-Xer and we remember her in her prime, and we are not so young ourselves. If you can move like that as a grandma and still get paid the big bucks, we say go for it. We also are totally on board with the internet being the internet and making as many jokes as it possibly can so we can laugh and share them with you.  

Chuck D, lead for Public Enemy decided to put his toe in the water and defend Madge. 

Look, we are not saying anyone has to retire and never be seen again after they turn 50. Madonna should do what she wants as long as she wants, BUT when she puts herself in the public arena, makes enemies over politics, and is in front of cameras making sure people know what she is doing and what she thinks about everything, then she is also fair game to get a pile on if something like this 'Golden Granny Bar Dance' pops up.

Another defender made some valid points.

She is in a box suspended in air and she is doing that at 65! We know some people at 16 that would cry at the thought. So again, we have to say that Madonna gets to be Madonna until she decides she does not want to do that anymore or her fans stop paying to see her. Either way, it is kind of impressive and also hilarious and easy to make jokes. 

Besides the dancing can we talk about how unflattering that outfit is? Is it the lights hitting it a certain way, is it the fit, or is it just ugly? Maybe it is all of the above, but we know she has enough money to have practiced that dance in that light and could see it was a bad choice. 

Twitchy's own Coucy got in on the jokes. OF COURSE HE DID! We here at Twitchy are a bunch of sassy pants and we sometimes can not avoid making the jokes that are begging to be made. :)

We kind of did. When she kept popping up every decade, we figured she was going to be around and trying some nutty stuff well into her 80s. We are not saying she should not be doing that, we are just saying if she is still humping objects on stage singing Like A Virgin at 80 then the internet gets to point and laugh. 

Welp. We will never unsee that comparison. 

HAHAHAHA! Wait, we saw her perform that one too. WE ARE NOT GETTING OLD. WE ARE NOT 172! Stop that right now. If you keep implying we are old we will pull this car over. Stop. It. 

Seriously the internet is mean. Funny but still mean. 

We are going to let you guys decide if it is ageism, if it is funny, or if it is awesome because we feel like it is all three. 

Go on. Shoo. Get out of here. Go to the internet and make some mean jokes that we will laugh at. GET OFF OUR LAWN!
