her robotic, glacial voice; the blood; the gasps from the crowd; the way her mic hits the ground on beat with the song; its performance at its peak
iconic
she gave unhinged women our rights
i watch this video exactly once a month and it gives me full body asmr
This was fighting for gay rights
We will forever stan
never forget her commentary on this performance:
“The methodology behind what I’ve done is that, when they wanted me to
be sexy, or they wanted me to be pop, I always fuckin’ put some absurd
spin on it that made me feel like I was still in control. So
you know what? If I’m gonna be sexy on the VMAs, and sing about the
paparazzi, I’m going to do it while I’m bleeding to death and reminding
you of what fame did to Marilyn Monroe, the original Norma Jean, and
what it did to Anna Nicole Smith, and what it did to…
Yeah. You know who.”
Who was she reffering to? :^
I’m pretty sure she was referring to Princess Diana
ok thank you ^^
I actually think she was referring to Amy Winehouse
Either one of those works; it’s also possible that she meant someone else, or that she left it unspoken because it applies to so many other women.
