You knew Madonna entered the club because she had a human wall around her to keep the peasants away, and that might sound negative but just accept it for what it is. Cyndi on the other hand is the cheerleader you want in your corner. Cyndi to me is the personification of a happy old person is a work of art, but she has always been her own work of art.

The rivalry between Madonna and Cyndi Lauper never really existed outside of the media. It’s kind of sad that women need to be pitted against each other in that way. I still remember at the time you were expected to like one or the other, and I liked both.

Ssu album is now in the library hall of congress as one of the greatest albums ever recorded. She just had a ceremony for her handprints/footprints imbedded in cement at TLC, Grauman's chinese theatre last week and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She has had an amazing enduring career. And now she's finishing writing the musical score for Working Girl...for broadway 2025/26. Not too shabby

I was ten when Madonna and Cyndi Lauper both burst onto the scene. I loved them both. They both had their own thing going. Never saw them as the same at all. Don’t know where that came from. I don’t recall any rivalry being mentioned in the 80’s. We didn’t have social media or any of that so maybe that’s why. Could careless too.
I personally thought Cyndi’s line and vocal in “We Are The World” was a highlight of the song, some others fell victim to affectation (especially given the company) but she sang it from the heart. She felt it.
Lauper got chops, Madonna is a performance artist so it's apples and oranges.

Not to pretend that female artists didn't face sexism (they obviously did), but male artists were also pitted against each other all the time during the 80s, yet no-one ever played the "sexism" card... I mean, endless teen magazine covers featured headlines such as "Duran Duran vs A-Ha !" "Michael Jackson vs Boy George !", "Prince vs Michael Jackson !"...And every Canadian growing up in the 80s is quite familiar with the "Corey Hart VS Bryan Adams !" variant of this issue ! lol ! It was a competitive era, it's the nature of the music business. Not EVERYTHING in life is about sexism and discrimination, you know...
Ай бұрын
Cuz the music world has always been dominated by men, so it’s dumb to put male against male… There’s too many!! Too many bands, too many solo artists, too many boy bands…it’s pointless to highlight “gender rivalry” when obviously they will compete for the market. Females were rare as super stars. Hardly a handful in the 60’s and 70’s and always below the males’s success. The 80’s changed that. A female solo artist could headline her own concert in a stadium ( Tina Turner in Rio for example)…alone. Her name alone was enough. That never happened before. Not in Rock music. So when Cyndi and Madonna came out almost at same time ( Cyndi came first), the styles, the hairs, the accessories, etc were very similar and a rivalry started…by media. If by then TONS of super star-female singers were around ( like now: Adele, lady Gaga, Kathy Perry, Beyoncé, Dua Lipa, etc) I doubt such rivalry woulda take place. But it was the 80’s… first decade with female power in music. The media was just beginning to learn how to deal with solo female super stars. Sad because they both were great and very different…

Yeah I’m personally tired of artists blaming bad behavior on the press or society. Everyone is responsible for their own behavior. There have been stories about Madonna for decades now. Cher also had negative experiences with her. I don’t think Lauper or Cher are the types to instigate drama like that and it’s always Madonna. She needs a diagnosis.

First off... Cyndi looks phenomenal for almost 71. She has never hated on Madonna.. she isn't like that. They were pitted against another because they were the two female pop stars who ruled the charts. Janet is #3 but she really didn't hit it huge until 1986. Whitney too. Cyndi was ,and is , the relatable legend for the misunderstood and shy kids. I have a feeling Madonna respects her now even though she poked fun at her expense decades ago. It's too bad Cyndi's son is a mess.
A lot of people believe Madonna did not like them. She just has that energy about her

Thing is, I don't think either of them have any regrets, they did it their way and made timeless music in the process.

Rivalry? Nonsense! Cyndi can sing.
Even tho Madonna outlasted Cindy as well as other 80s female artist Cindy held her own. She was unique and original. Great singer with big hits it’s too bad she fizzled out. But she looks fantastic and I wish her and Madonna would make a duet. I chose Cindy over Gaga.

Madonna did like Cyndi but was probably not sure in return if Cyndi liked her as they had others constantly making up quotes and stories about each other but it never was a rivalry like Gaga wanted.

Madonna was no where close to being as good a singer and lyricist as Cyndi Lauper. There really was no competition. Same with Debbie Harry, Madonna never came close to having the cool and the charisma of Debbie. Madonna knew how to sell her product and then use her new found wealth to pay others with artistry and talent to make her look and sound better than she actually was.
