Still was ok with her until she really seemed to go nuts a few years ago..kabbalah, turning into a man(muscle bound and obvious use of steroids.human growth hormone), her fake posh 'upper class Englishwoman' shit..obvious control issues..sky high ticket prices..more fame/money whoredom, and now this adoption shit has pushed me over the edge.

Sojita, Your post explains exactly why i myself have come to loathe ole Madge, too. Like you, i used to like her. When i was a kid, i totally looked up to her & thought she was so awesome. I used to think she showed amazing "freedom of self-expression" & was a strong, in-control, boundary-pushing strong female...Especially around the "Express Yourself" era, circa 1990 or so, i was like 12 and i idolized her. But now, she is an annoying self-absorbed shadow of her former self. --IF (a big "if"!) that "former self" i refer to was ever even real, and not just nothing more than a carefully-manipulated public image she craftily created for her own personal gain. i.e., simply doing whatever she thought would further her "boundary-pushing" image.--like hooking up with the gay community, as you mention. Overall, like you touched on in your post, i've come to think that the things i idolized about her back in the day, were nothing more than SELF-PROMOTION on her part. I agree, i think she just "used" gay people to further herself & her *oh-so-scandalous* free-thinking, envelope-pushing ways. I used to admire her devotion to the gay community. (I'm the proud sister of a gay person.) But now, i think it was all just an act to further her "cutting-edge" image. I mean, she even STOLE the whole "Vogueing" dance movement from the gay community & pretty much passed it off as her own. My lesbian sister can't stand her, and in fact recently said exactly what you said above, about Madonna, when we were watching TV & a segment about Madonna came on.
And i agree, that fake English accent is BEYOND ANNOYING. When i hear her talking like that, i'd like to slap her & scream "You're from Michigan, not Primrose Hill, London!!!!".
Bottom line, IMO, Madge is FAKE, ATTENTION-SEEKING, and SELF-ABSORBED. Not good qualities, in my book.
