How stupid can Madonna be ?

[a falling tree]

It's still not as bad as U2's "One, two, three, fourteen!" intro to Vertigo.

however i agree that was a weird thing to do, they did that because it was their 14th album and the intro would've been too long if they counted uptill 14.

Ways to translate I'm sorry into dutch (and this is loosely taken)

Het spijt me (I'm sorry/forgive me)
vergeef me (forgive me)
sorry (I'm sorry)

Any of these 3 (and there are prob more but I am not spending alot of time on this) fit the song perfectly..

ik ben droevig (I'm sad) makes no sense whatsoever in the song.

[PolluX]

ik bin droevik

[Zazu]

Sometimes things don't literally translate from one language into another.

I'm not saying that that's not the case, but perhaps. And if she really did make a mistake...think about what you're saying about the person for making a translation error (and how much money she has, has nothing to do with it). It's really retarded, imagine if someone called you a retard for everytime you made any kind of language mistake, yeah, even in your native.

People who laugh at other peoples' mistakes are really the fools in this world.

I'm a native Dutch speaker, so I do know what "Ik ben droevig" means.
And her money and stuff does have to do with it... Because she's shouting that song around all over the world.
Sure sometimes you make language mistakes, but if you do not have a clue what you're saying, do NOT say it. And especially .. DO NOT SHOUT IT AROUND ALL OVER THE WORLD !

If you ARE going to say those few sentences in a different language than your native language, make sure you are saying it correct. Especially when you KNOW people all over the world are going to hear that song.
The effort it takes to get the correct translation is like ... minimum for Madonna.
Take her 3000$ cellphone, dial the number of someone who is a professional translator (dunno the English word for that) and ask the translation.

And lol yeh Pollux ! "Ik bin droevik" :P But I can live with the fact her pronounciation is rather awful.

-= and btw Ardour. She's singing 5 mins about being sorry and apologizing. And she's saying "I'm sorry" at the start in 6 languages. And then you think she meant to say "I'm sad" one time out of those 6 ?

Is there anything grammatically incorrect in that phrase?

You people are freaking out about the difference between "I'm sorry" and "I'm sad"? Chill out. Whoever said you have to pay attention to someone you don't like anyway?

And another thing...don't crack on the accents, try speaking in any foreign language without an accent.

Oh F'n cut me a break...please...she is from the States...I didn't know the UK accent was so much of a difference as well as a barrier in understanding how these two countries & peoples speak and understand one another.

I guess that being I am from Philadelphia, I should put on a fake Alabama accent if I go to Mobile, or a Boston accent if I go to Massachusettes.

It's not like she is putting on a fake Italian accent. I can speak Italian, yet I do not try and take on various dialects.

Pfft@! It's F'n Madonna who cares? Lets move on to a Michael Jackson topic please

[Vykromond]

who the fuck cares? the new album is a shit of a lot better than the last four before it, and "hung up" was a brilliant song

[Subjugation]

You know, Madonna pretends to be so spiritually evolved...

Fixed.









Madonna is the female Tom Cruise. She's an opportunistic, self-aggrandizing phony and turned to Kabbalah in the same fashion as other actors turn to Scientology---Marketing, Networking, Publicity, and Money. Like any other celebrity douchebag, Madonna has been very good at "reinventing" herself every few years to stay relevant. This is just one of those vehicles.


Here's a clue: If your religion has given marketing rights to poseur drinks, it's not a real religion.

[Epinephrine]

It isn't any more stupid than white people who wear shirts with random chinese words (or TATTOO RANDOM CHINESE WORDS) who find it funny when say the Japanese wear tshirts with random English words... translation errors happen. Big deal. Besides, no one has said the obvious yet... no one cares about the Dutch and their Islam bashing ways. (that past line was a bit of sarcasm in case you want to eat me alive now for saying that or something)

[Liquid Blue]

Kids with the dragons on their shirts and/or flames all the time aren't too "cool" in my book, either.

[PH]

Ich bin ein Berliner.

[Displaced]

Je suis désolé (French, "I am sorry")
Lo siento (Spanish, "I'm sorry")
Ik ben droevig (Dutch, "I am sad")
Sono spiacente (Italian, "I am sorry")
Perdóname (Spanish, "Forgive me")

In that context she could have well said I am sad....

would you be ragging on the lyrics if they were in English and went as follows:

I am sorry
I'm sorry
I am sad
I am sorry
Forgive me

No, because it does actually make sence, likewise, it makes sense in that context, and perhaps (oh no, whod have thunk it!) it is deliberate.

would you be ragging on the lyrics if they were in English and went as follows:

I am sorry
I'm sorry
I am sad
I am sorry
Forgive me

Yes, I would, becuause she's still a phony Kabbalah douchbag.

What if she drank your jesus juice?

[Material Girl]

What if she drank Pimpjuice? :fear:
