Madonna Calls M.I.A. Immature: Hypocritical?

Still no word from the FCC regarding M.I.A.'s spontaneous middle finger at the Super Bowl halftime show, but now the "Paper Planes" singer is facing criticism from her own team. Madonna, who headlined the performance and featured M.I.A. in her "Give Me All Your Lovin'" music video, criticized the act, calling it a "teenager" and "irrelevant" thing to do -- even though a quick Google image search will confirm Madonna is no stranger to flipping the bird herself.

She told KIIS-FM, "I didn't know about it until I left. I was really surprised. I didn't know anything about it. I understand it's punk rock and everything, but to me there was such a feeling of love and good energy, and positivity. It seemed negative. It's one of the those things, it's such a teenager, irrelevant thing to do ... what was the point? It was just out of place." Hm. Is it just us or does Madonna sound a bit hypocritical -- especially with the photographic evidence below?

    I wanted to say "Yes" based on Madonna's past performances. But the SB was her gig and not M.I.A.'s. Common courtesy says that you do not mess up someone else' gig.

    To be honest Madonna can't really talk, but I do agree with her on this one, M.I.A, in my opinion, M.I.A is just looking for attention.

    Her halftime show seemed to make her look immature. MIA has no manners trying to upstage the headliner.

    I meant to press No. Madonna is probably referring to M.I.A's low class action of trying to steal the limelight from Madonna. She was a guest on Madonna's stage.

    Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Give me a break. Madonna is the last person that should be calling M.I.A. immature as her entire career in music has been based on shock value.

    She waits a week after the incident to say something? No, she's just an attention whore!
    No one is talking about her or how her 'half-time' performance rated, they're only talking about MIA and the crude gesture. Kick MIA out of the country and keep her out. She flipped America the bird! Don't buy her records which supports her cause-- which is the terrorist organization Tamil Tigers.
    If this mattered to Madonna, you would've heard from her loud and clear the very next morning! She's looking for some spot-light. We stuck a fork in her--she's done.

    i agree with her on this one. M.I.A was attention whoring and belittled her big comeback performance. a lot of negative attention has been focused on her rather than madonna's actual performance. i would be upset also for someone i let in my performance making a mockery of it all.

    Let's see...M.I.A. is 36 so it is a bit immature what she did. However, when Madonna was that age she was rolling around in her underwear on a bed in "Take a Bow." This, of course, was done right after releasing her "Sex" book, and doing various music videos and film that were borderline pornographic. So, who is she to talk?

    Madonna has been there & her ego doesn't allow her to remember how controversial & an attention whore she's always been. I guess it's her right now that she's come so far & is a mother now trying to set a good example.

The mixtape was produced by the two artists at Diplo's home studio in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Despite its unofficial status, several music publications included it in their listings of the best albums of 2004.

    DOES MIA WANT TO LOSE HER BREAD? SHE's a SHRI-LANKAN-BRITISH from a slum of LONDON. SHE'S 36 YEARS OLD, not a child but acts like ONE. IF MIA DOESN'T LIKE the USA, then GO HOME or GO KISS CANADIANS' REAR ENDS.

    A lot of Americans knew M.I.A. Mainly because of her song in Pineapple Express that just about every rapper sampled the beat and/or her "swagger like us" line from the same song. It's just the REST of America found out who she is.

    Madonna is a gigantic hypocrite and something way past diva. I don't even know a word for it ATM. I could say the C word but that would be inappropriate. People talking about M.I.A. ruining her gig? Whatever. Madonna has done worse antics at a number of places and gigs. Consistently. The problem was Madonna was upstaged and she didn't like that. More attention was given to the middle finger than Madonna. Nothing was "ruined". Madonna is the poster child for immaturity. It's like the pot calling the kettle black.

    For this reason, and this reason only: It was not M.I.A.'s show.

    Do what you want when performing your own show. But don't pull crap like this when you aren't even the main act.

    I don't care about about the whole situation, but I hate hypocrites. Madonna, you have no right to criticize someone about raising their middle finger high given your history (with your weird arms...-_-' eww); and M.I.A, I love you and all that, but you probably got into the heat of the moment or you wanted to be in the tabloids once again, and whatever your reasoning is you crossed a line. Point blank. So Madonna, shut up and stick to dating men half your age, and M.I.A apologize and set this crap straight. Eh, hoped that made sense. *Kanye shrug*

    Now that Madonna is 53 and a mother of 4, she has re-created herself as Lady Madonna. Has anybody forgotten her outlandish behavior on stage and off, her naked pictorial coffee table book, her kissing Brittany Spears, etc., etc. Still, M.I.A. is disrespectful to the American public. I think M.I.A. should be fined.
