It wasn't bitter though, it was true. Brinty her music, especially at the beginning of her career, was super basic.
And like I said, she defended Brinty too:
Quote:
Ingrid: Now I want to ask you about Britney Spears.
Madonna: OK.
Ingrid: The reason I’m interested in that it feels like there’s more than meets the eye here.
Madonna: Mm-hmm.
Ingrid: I’m constantly hearing people who are saying, "Well, she’s being funny."
Madonna: You mean being ironic?
Ingrid: Yes.
Madonna: Well, obviously I’m embracing it because I know it’s going to confuse people, but the true essence of my feelings for her is that I feel really protective of her. Don’t even ask me why.
Ingrid: That was my instinct.
Madonna: I’m not going to sit here and dissect her music.
Ingrid: Right, nor do I want you to.
Madonna: In a way it’s not even worth it because it’s like dissecting my daughter’s music.
Ingrid: [laughs]
Madonna: You know it’s just not dissectible yet. But there’s something about her. Even though she’s terribly successful, for some reason I think of her as an underdog.
Ingrid: She is. Why? I was thinking about that the other day.
Madonna: I know it’s that weird thing.
Ingrid: I thought, Why am I thinking that this person – who has billions of dollars and is so successful – is an underdog? She’s a victim of a type of snobbery is what it really is. Didn’t you start to bring her up after people made fun of her on things like awards shows?
Madonna: Totally. It’s like when you go to a party and there’s a girl, and everyone’s avoiding her because she’s really pretty, or whatever. I always want to go over and talk to that person. She is a victim of snobbery. People are going, oh she’s this, and oh she’s got fake **** and blah blah blah, and you know as soon as I see somebody getting picked on, I just want to go and, you know, talk to them at the party. Do you know what I mean?
Ingrid: Why do you think that is?
Madonna: I don’t know. Maybe to a certain extent I can relate to it, because I feel that I was certainly a victim of snobbery when I first started. I can’t even count the number of things that I read about myself that kept dismissing me.
Ingrid: Go on.
Madonna: And dismissing the fact that I had talent or what I could sing or any of those things. And now I just see everybody doing it to her, so I feel defensive of her and protective of her. It’s so easy to get up and criticize people, isn’t it?
Ingrid: It sure is.
Madonna: It’s like blah blah blah. I say you get up and do it then. You hang your balls out there. You get up and dive off the diving board, and then let me hear what you have to say. [Wearing the Britney Spears T-shirt was] a funny thing because it’s just like everything else. When you know something’s right, you just go with it. I swear to God, from the time I put it on, till the day I finished my promotional tour, it was my talisman. It may sound totally perverse, but it just brought me luck.

Cher's Madonna shade was really good though because she veiled it as a compliment.
Mariah just is so petty. She is like a mentally stuck 12 year old girl. 
Gags is too passive agressive and pretends to be so nice so she can't play diva role properly. She rather play victim. Which is actually much more manipulative than just being catty and bitchy.

Well, both singles flopped there, so it's really a wonder that the album even went top ten there at all.

Whitney had one about you, didn’t she – she said that she’d kill her children if they turned out like you.

$15.99 there, but I need them by Christmas Eve. If it's on Amazon I get free 2-day shipping with Prime. I could just give them iTunes giftcards, but I kind of wanted to give them the physicals.

I swear that **** said like $18.99 like 15 min ago and I wanted to go in the store and get them so I didn't have to worry about getting them in time. They don't even have it yet.

Cher, despite being an total dunce, is absolutely fabulous.I will never be here for her music, but her attitude and character is amazing. I love watching her interviews, especially with Letterman.
Mariah's a man-child, and Gaga's an idiot.
