• what the hell, the other inductees and members should protest.

• She deserves the honor. I know a lot of people hate her, but I like her. Her concerts are still really good. Worth the money.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 10:05:27

• Madonna can do whatever the hell she wants. She is fuckin Madonna, for christ's sake.
  
  p.s. - nice boobs.

• Prima donna wasn't offered enough money or does she think she's too good for the "honor" ?

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 10:08:43

• She's an egotistical bitch. And Iggy doing her songs? WTF?
  She's irrelevant as far as I'm concerned, and has been for a very long time.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 10:08:56

• She's probably sick. Leave the bitch alone. At least she's showing up to accept the award.

• Iggy Pop is a flamer, so this makes sense to me.

• "Many consider Fun House and Raw Power to be two of the greatest albums of all time."
  
  Sorry, but those people are insufferable hipster douchebags. I once had a friend try to tell me that The Stooges were better than Led Zeppelin. Naturally, my reaction was to throw him into a woodchipper and feed his remains to his children.

  Your reaction was not out of line. Your friend deserved worse than that, imo.

• Two of the greatest albums of all time??? Who said that? Were they high at the time?

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 10:29:04

• She looks a little thick in her younger days.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 10:34:34

• "thick"? Kill yourself.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 10:35:22

• Iggy Pop is queer.
  
  Punk rock was a lot of things, but definitely not queer.

• She's a strong woman in a male dominated industry and she doesn't give a fuck if you don't like her. I say congrats to her!

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 10:48:36

• I guess that Modonna has earned the right to do whatever she wants when she is being honored; she is Madonna, after all. It's just too bad that she has to show everyone what an insufferable asshole she is by not performing. I used to love her back in the day, but she - like every other very successful entertainer - has forgotten where she came from.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 10:49:25

  Sigh...so, I take it you're voting for Clinton. Ugh...can we take away your voting rights again, please?

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 10:50:41

• Why are people surprised she'd act like a "bitch" or a "diva". She's been like this since before she was a superstar. Dick Clark asked her on American Bandstand ages ago what she wanted to do with her life and she said she wanted to "rule the world". She's always had this attitude! At least she doesn't lip sync in her concerts. Maybe there's something wrong with her voice and that's why she can't sing at the show.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 10:53:05

• "Sigh...so, I take it you're voting for Clinton."
  
  No. I don't vote for democrats. Nice try.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 10:54:41

• An untalented whore who made a career out of pandering to a gay audience. She's 50 years old and still can't play an instrument, she has no vocal range, and "co-writes" her music. Sound like Hall of Fame material to me. She is the reason for all those delusional people you see on American Idol. After all, if she can make it, why can't they?

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 10:55:03

• Madonna plays the guitar and has played it live during concerts and on at least 2 of her albums. She's also written many of her own songs without being a co-writer. Sounds like there's a lot you don't know about this woman you hate.

• "Madonna plays the guitar and has played it live during concerts and on at least 2 of her albums. She's also written many of her own songs without being a co-writer."
  
  Oh, OK, she's hall of fame material then. So is Adam Sandler, I guess. And, the guy who played Lenny on LaVerne and Shirley. Cincinnati Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo and Red Sox GM Theo Epstein should also go into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. THEY PLAYED THE GUITAR ON STAGE!!!! OH MY GOD.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 11:04:37

• @ 11:04 calm down. 11:01 was obviously replying to 10:55. Stop trolling, troll.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 11:05:44

• She's an egotistical bitch. It's not any more complicated than that.

  By MadonnaSucksNYC, on March 7, 2008 11:07:35

• Hmmm, Madonna is not even on the list of people I think of when someone says ROCK N ROLL. Sheesh.

• Uh oh, Madonna's fans are on the warpath. Does anyone have a weapon that works against gays and uneducated 45-year-old women?

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 11:11:05

• I think the Madonna haters are worse. They foam at the mouth just like the Angelina Jolie haters (a.k.a. Aniston fans).

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 11:14:29

• Nice tittays!! Those things are perfect. Thank god she doesn't have those ugly dinner plate areolas.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 11:17:41

• Madonna had sex with Dennis Rodman and Jose Canseco.
  That should pretty much settle the debate over whether or not she should be taken seriously.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 11:25:35

• She also had sex with Warren Beatty, Sean Penn, Tupac Shakur, Vanilla Ice, Sandra Bernhard, Debi Mazar, Ingrid Casares...

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 11:31:15

• Anybody can tell her vocals are enhanced and pitch corrected and her guitar is only a prop. Anybody could play better after about 2 lessons.
  Madonna and her style over substance opened up floodgates of untalented females that pattern themselves after her.
  Why would she perform at the Hall of Fame? It doesn't seem like the right venue for lip syncing and sassy gay backup dancers.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 11:39:18

• Madonna doesn't lip sync. You guys really need to find better insults if you're going to bash her. At least know what you're talking about.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 11:45:57

• 11:11
  I've discovered that any good music, especially long guitar solos, make a good repellent.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 11:47:00

• She played two live solo acoustic sets with just her and her guitar on stage in the last concert I saw. It wasn't lip synced and there was no background help at all. It wasn't the best I'd ever heard, but it wasn't bad either.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 11:48:49

• By the way Madonna started in music as a drummer for the band.So she plays drums and guitar.She has written songs not only for herself but for other artists.Fact!

  By Laine D., on March 7, 2008 11:52:20

• She deserves to be in the HOF, obviously, given her commercial success and how the HOF doesn't exactly set high musical standards for inductees. I think it's absolutely perfect that she won't perform. She's an entertainer, not a musician. When somebody wins an Oscar, they don't go up and perform a scene from the movie. But it Madonna's case, it's should be an advertising award like a Clio.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 11:53:00

• Madonna is a narcissist. She only cares about herself, always has been that way. Funny how she peddled sex to kids all these years but won't let her own precious offspring watch tv for fear it might "corrupt" her. Madonna is the reason why your 13 year old thinks it's ok to do it.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 11:57:31

• Madonna played drums and guitar for "The Breakfast Club" and started out in a "punk" band.

• 11:48:49 "It wasn't the best I'd ever heard, but it wasn't bad either."
  
  I think you just convinced everybody that she deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In fact, they should use your line to introduce her.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 11:59:00

• Not everyone in the HOF was a brilliant musician. You guys are just hating Madonna because she's Madonna. Grow up.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 12:00:32

• what a talentless attention whore!! she only has a career based on image, sex and controversy!! and now she is using justin and timbaland to get a hit cause she can't do it by herself anymore. why are people doing what she says, why isn't anybody standing up to her!!?? her EGO needs to be taken down and she has to stop acting whorish!! she is 50 now, what will lourdes and rocco think of all the porn she did in the "sex" book? there is a picture of her with her finger up her vadge!! she is that slutty!! google it!!

  By purple dildo, on March 7, 2008 12:18:30

• She is a no-talent ass clown and those horrid videos only prove it. And you must be using the word "played" loosely. Her fans have the lowest musical standards and Madonna always delivers.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 12:21:08

• She's like 110 years old and STILL performs for a sold out crowd in every concert she has. That really bothers a lot of you doesn't it? Hahah get over it, people.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 12:24:00

• "She's like 110 years old and STILL performs for a sold out crowd in every concert she has."
  
  So does Hanna Montana. What's your point?

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 12:26:09

  Something tells me Hannah Montana won't still be doing that for another three decades almost.
  
  Say what you will about the bitch, but she's got some serious staying power.
  
  I saw her perform during her "Confessions" tour and I have to admit, she put on a good show.
  
  Great entertainer, but most definitely a pretentious twat.

  By Hyperbole, on March 7, 2008 12:38:19

• the only thing i will say to this ridiculous chain is this:
  
  to quote the post: iggy pop has to prance around stage singing songs about gay dances and pushing love over the borderline
  
  HAS TO?
  does someone have a gun to his head??? he chose to! and he has opened for her before, so i think the man can make up his own mind.

  By joe to hell, on March 7, 2008 12:45:24

• As far as her being an egotistical douchebag, isn't that true of about 99.99% of rock stars? They all have huge egos and think they're way better than they actually are. And she fucked alotta people? So what. If that was grounds for disqualification, there wouldn't even be a Rock 'n Hall of Fame. I hate Madonna because she's an annoying cunt who makes shitty music, not because she's guilty of the same shit as every other bloated has been who charges 200 bucks for a concert ticket.

  By Abram, on March 7, 2008 12:45:42

• Iggy has been friends with Madonna for decades and he's also gayer than her Vogue backup dancers when he performs. I'm sure Iggy was happy to volunteer for this. You're WAY off on this one Todd. Sorry.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 12:48:36

• "And she fucked alotta people? So what. If that was grounds for disqualification, there wouldn't even be a Rock 'n Hall of Fame."
  
  Yeah, but most of these people were male, therefore it's applauded. Male rock stars can fuck anyone. Women who sleep with lots of men are venereal disease carrying whores. Plain and simple.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 12:49:20

• Her "music" is a joke. She's more known for showing off her tits, or changing her hairstyle. And this twat gets inducted into the "ROCK N' ROLL" hall of fame? Stupid bitch is NOT a rock n' roller; she's a pop artist. Who I hate with a passion.
  
  The reason she won't perform is because she knows she'd look like crap singing her little poppy songs next to real rockers. That & being incredibly arrogant. Stupid cunt...

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 12:50:25

• Don't quit your day job Todd. You're not much of a music critic.

• In related news, Britney Spears is being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Tuesday night and is also refusing to "perform". She will be serenaded by The Clash and the Sex Pistols who will sing a medley of her most important songs.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 13:02:07

• She deserves to be there as much as the Ramones do. No offense to you Ramones fans. I know you love them, but every one of their songs sound the same to me. 1, 2, 3, 4, ....

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 13:05:41

• Wow. The gays (her only fanbase) come out full force whenever anyone attacks Madonna. She could put out a freakin' album of herself coughing over dance beats and the gays would call it 'genius' and 'grounbreaking'.
  
  She does not deserve the acclaim. She's all style over substance. Stole ideas from those that are far more talented and doesn't even write her own lyrics.
  
  She's a washed up hag.

  By Mariah Carey, on March 7, 2008 13:16:48

• Anyone who thinks gay men and women are her only fanbase haven't been to one of her concerts. You can't convince people who are fans of hers to hate her, so stop trying.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 13:25:10

• It's true, her fanbase is not just gay men. You can't forget the tone deaf and the easily amused.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 13:42:23

• I've seen her up close. Her belly looks like an orange peel left out in the sun. And her face is ugly, uglier, ugliest.

  By anonymous, on March 7, 2008 18:26:31

• Since Britney Spears was labeled as the successor to Madonna as the Pop Princess, would it be safe to say that Britney will be inducted into the R&R HOF in the future?

  By anonymous, on March 8, 2008 06:42:59

• Madonna is an icon!! She's entitled to do whatever she chooses...maybe she's not all into the hype of performing for something she deserves. She's a true artist and we all know that.

  By anonymous, on March 8, 2008 07:28:25

• Rock and Roll. Madonna. Jesus Christ.
  I got a free subscription to Rolling Stone magazine, and every month when it comes in the mail I throw the piece of shit in the trash. That's what I think of Legendary Counter-Culture Journalist Jann Wenner, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
  Might as well just call it the "Being Famous Hall of Fame" - They'll let any high-profile asshole in. Who next, Jocelyn Wildenstein?

  By jbonz, on March 8, 2008 11:23:22

• the whore was never any good she should not be there so who cares if she does not perform all she is going to do is crawl around the floor like a slut licking pee of the floor ,just tell her to go back to england and to shove a two decker bus up her ass or srse

  By madona has no talent, on March 8, 2008 19:05:37

• Where I come from, if a woman pulls this kind of bullshit control freak move, she's labeled a cunt. However, MaWHOREa is queen bitch of the cunts. Good thing she's not living in my state; she'd be bitchslapped morning, noon & night. Hey, come to think of it, that's not a bad idea!

  By anonymous, on March 10, 2008 12:46:58

• Stupid twat does not deserve any recognition, much less induction into a hall of fame which focuses on music she's never performed. Her induction is absolutely political; it stinks to high heaven, just like her...
