Madonna Gives ‘Popey-Wopey’ Her Blessing

“The pope is stalking me”, she continued, while explaining she performed in New York recently, where Francis will be until Saturday.

Following her gig Thursday, however, the “Like A Virgin” soloist carried to effectively Facebook to communicate her confirmation of Pope Francis, who might be noted for his rather major beliefs on essential things like including, start the proceedings and homosexuality, in comparison to past directors of this very Catholic Church.

Meanwhile on Friday, a concert welcomed the pope to New York at Madison Square Garden, featuring Jennifer Hudson, Gloria Estefan, Harry Connick Jr. and a Catholic choir from the Church of St. Charles Borromeo in Harlem. “It shows the Vatican cares”.

She then dedicated a ukulele-led version of Edith Piaf ” s ‘La Vie en Rose’ to the pontiff, saying “Since Popey-wopey is on his way over here, I want to dedicate this song to him because it’s a love song, and I firmly believe that love does make the world go “round”.

Whether you’re a Madonna fan or not, you have to give her props when it comes to pushing the boundaries! “He seems very open-minded”, she said.

After climbing up on a table, the 57-year-old said: “I made it. Can the Pope do that?”

If Madonna needed further evidence the pope is following in her footsteps, it was announced Friday that Francis is releasing a pop-rock album called “Wake Up!” Her 1989 video for “Like a Prayer” featured burning crosses, and during her 2006 Confessions tour she staged a mock crucifixion just miles away from the Vatican. Her seminal 1990 “Blond Ambition” tour included simulated masturbation and brought condemnation from the Vatican.

That doesn’t necessarily mean the Vatican has entirely banished the singer. Scuccia had won the Italian edition of “The Voice” earlier that year.
