Ever since Madonna introduced Sam Smith to perform their song 'Unholy' at the 2023 Grammy Awards, music fans have been looking forward to the pair collaborating.

Now, that time has finally come as the pair have released a new single known as 'Vulgar' - though the track isn't without its controversy.

In fact, many people have been left shocked at the sexually aggressive lyrics, as the musical duo continue to have their critics.

OP, we’re pretending this song doesn’t exist. Thanks.

Madonna’a lack of willingness to be a legacy act is vulgar

She's become a parody of herself. He looks like a pumpkin.

This is a good example of why "they" and "them" don't work as pronouns, grammatically.

[quote]Ever since Madonna introduced Sam Smith to perform their song 'Unholy' at the 2023 Grammy Awards, music fans have been looking forward to the pair collaborating.

The first clause makes it sound like the song "Unholy" was recorded by Madonna and Smith or somehow belonged to both of them.

So for clarity, editors and writers need to say, "Ever since Madonna introduced Sam Smith to perform Smith's song 'Unholy' at the 2023 Grammy Awards"

Clunky!

The songs IS called Vulgar. I don’t know what they expected.

By "they," do you mean Sam Smith, R9?

r8 this may be confirmation bias, but whenever I read a third-person account of a person who uses they/them pronouns, I feel that the author employs syntax that really hits us over the head with the "THEY/THEM". Like, they deliberately structure the prose in a way that uses third-person pronouns as frequently as possible.

I agree, R11.

They/them is being overused at the expense of—I fucking hate the term "virtue signifier," but that's kind of what it is—when a surname would be a better choice.

As an editor, I'd advise using the surname in every feasible mention, and they/them only when a surname would sound absolutely ridiculous or distracting.

It often sounds clunky compared to he/she, but here we are.

I'm just shocked that Madonna's face here looks like she sucked off and fully inhaled a giant lightbulb.

But Sam's face simply looks fat, like the rest of him.

Stop posting pictures of the ugly alien from Uranus. She scares me.

That Unilad website is taking the piss.

No one is shocked. It’s exactly what everyone expects from two people desperately to shock people into being offended.

A more appropriate headline would be ‘people shocked at how bad the Madonna/Sam Smith song is’

Why the shock - Sam is sex on a stick!

Or maybe a stick of butter. I’m kinda tired.

OMFG Madonna has turned into Amanda LePore!

It’s like the Disney version of what is considered vulgar nowadays. Throwing in lots of fucks doesn’t shock anyone anymore. Especially after Cardi B rapped about her wet ass pussy. Or Megan Thee Stallion rapped about living off of her boyfriend’s semen for the weekend.

As usual these days, Madonna is chasing a trend and getting it wrong.

R8 Wouldn’t that sentence still be confusing if it were two men or two women? For example:

Ever since Miss A introduced Miss B to perform her song “Boston Greg” at the 2023 Grammy Awards, music fans have been looking forward to the pair collaborating.

Who’s song is it — Miss A’s or Miss B’s?

Oh, dear.

You mean “Whose song is it?”

And the answer is, it is MY song.

R27 / Greg, thanks for the correction. I should know better. BTW, how did you find my post so quickly? Are you an A.I. experiment launched by Muriel?

It's a major flop. Debuted at #166 on Global Spotify with only 1.27 million streams.

Madonna and Sam are freaks of nature and should tour as freaks

I prefer to stay stuck in the 80s and 90s. This way I don’t have to know about things like this.

Blissful ignorance is real, R39. Scoot over a little and I’ll sit right down beside you and listen while you hum some 80’s ditties.

I can’t stand Sam Smith, but he should run for his life…Madonna will bring him down.

her tour rehearsals are said to be messy, she can barely dance anymore, falls galore.

r43, conjures things in his head. How do you know any of this? Girl, please.

And the song is #3 worldwide. And her song with Weeknd is #10.

I don’t get it. As a former fan, I thought more of us were done with her due to her antics these past two years (growing a tree out of her old cunt?!) yet she has two top 10 hits as we dial into summer.

She’s a disaster. Yet she is bouncing back. Maybe there’s something to the rumors that she’s a high priestess of the Illuminati.

No idea how that happened but I’m on the loathsome app Tiktok a lot and I am being sincere when I say I never hear about her. Algorithm comes into play, but I’m always on the hunt for new music so I think I would hear about her at least sometimes?

I had no clue she did a song with The Weeknd and quite frankly, I can’t imagine why he collaborated with her in the first place. The Sam Smith collab makes sense though.

I think if she manages to have relevancy at all it’s because she continues to have a decent online presence. It makes me cringe, but all that talk about her strange behavior and bad plastic surgery keeps her from fading away completely.

Now that I think about it she does bring an edgy weirdness to everything she does these days. Given that The Weeknd is quite successful, yet boring as fuck, maybe he wanted to bring some of that edge to his music. At least for one song.

R21 truly a very far fall. It's so sad and "Vulgar" is just awful.

The song ain't bad, kinda hot actually. But Madonna is absolutely off the rails and in Mae West territory now. I'm not sure there's a way back, although I hope there is.
