On September 17 1998, Madonna released a statement against the World Vaisnava Association’s criticism of her Ray of Light/Shanti MTV performance: “The essence of purity and divinity is non-judgement… they should practice what they preach… if they’re so pure, why are they watching MTV?”
Today In Madonna History 
Madonna is a Ray of Light because Ray of Light is a beautiful song!
What was the criticism? Cultural appropriation? Fair crack. Had Madonna even been to India? Nup. But something new to sell for a minute, lol
Also that was a shocking vocal. Cringeworthy
Yeah that vocal performance was pretty damn bad. I don’t give a fuck about Cultural Appropriation. The lamest butthurt bullshit in a long time. I DO believe that Madonna was genuine in the ROL era. It’s later that she waffles.
PERFECT reply to hypocrites. True Madonna style.
As I recall, the criticism was that you could see Madonna’s nipples through her wife beater on national television. Jealous haters who wish they had epic tits like Madonna’s.
