Second Worker Dies -- Madonna Breaks Down

46. They were probably clapping to show their support and encouragement towards Madonna, as the tragic accident was in no way her fault.

U guys sure enjoy looking at things in the most negative light.

47. Right Madonna, I bet you bawled your eyes out just like you said you did over Michael Jackson then the next day you were in People magazine laughing your head off. I think she is a big phony.

48. It is sad when anyone passes and death just touches the human spirit no matter who you are. However, these fans are cukoo for Madge because she mentioned "A crane fell and a large piece of the set fell" these crazy fans were like WAHWHOOOO! YEAHHH! WE LOVE YOU! um, the morons must have thought it was gonna be a joke that had a punch line. Insert crickets here.......

49. While I am not a Madonna fan whatsoever, some of you have made some really idiotic statements. Do you realize this concert was in Italy? Now, if there was some Italian guy or gal performing here in the United States, speaking Italian to a primarily English-speaking audience, do you think very many would understand more than a couple of words being spoken? While I'm sure the Italians apparently love Madonna, and many probably do understand and speak some English, my guess is the majority of the audience hadn't a clue what she was talking about.

I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt that she does care what happened to the workers. Before you criticize her for not helping out the families of the dead and injured, maybe you should give her a couple of days.

50. First, It's not hard to figure out why they are clapping. They are clapping because they don't know what the heck she's saying. She's in Italy... language barrier... dumbasses. Second, Madonna didn't have to say a thing about it outside of her publicist. But she took the time to address it. She's not getting anything from it, so the fact that she stopped her show to send her condolances is an honorable thing. I don't follow Madonna, but I also don't understand why people are so quick to judge her. Guess it's easier to knock her than to listen to her appeal for kindness.

51. Somebody has been taking acting classes. This is the best acting she has done in decades!

52. If she's so devastated then she will have no issue signing over a few compensation cheques to the families of these people who have died creating a stage that allows her to charge $350.00+ for tickets to the show.

Or are they crocodile tears...we shall see.

56. If Madonna was worried about bad press then she wouldn't of spoken about it at her concert. That fact that she did mention it & paid tribute to these men should speaks volumes to her character & caring nature. For those of you who are throwing stones at her for not offering to compensate these family appropriately...how do you know she won't? Simply just cancel a concert - have you actually thought of what that means? Although this is tragic you have to think about the thousands of people who are involved in the current show, the fans that have travelled, taken time off of work & on & on. What about all those people who would have lost out? I am certainly not saying out of pocket expenses are more valuable than a loss of life but the big picture has to be looked at.

57. Same thing kept happening in Spinal Tap with the drummers.

58. I have love Madonna since she 1st arrived on the music scene in the 80's but how does she talk?? She has become very phony over the years ....Madge...be yourself ..the quirky 80's girl I love!

59. I agree with what everyone is saying. The loss of the two men is more devastating and beyond a few words by the discustingly veiny, unsympathetic, money hungry, random child adopting Madonna. Notice how the statement was all about her! The ridiculous display of tears was an example of her pathetic acting skills. This is the same person who honors Michael Jackson by hiring a lame impersonator to perform in the middle of her concert near the day he passed. Kinda creepy! Maybe she could have donated the money spent on the impersonator to the city of LA to help fund the memorial service! Just a thought..... One other thing, can someone please explain her extremely odd accent? Isn't she from the midwest? I know she's lived in England, but it's not a English accent. It's like her own special creation! UGH! Enough of her!!!
