Washington: Queen of pop, Madonna, thinks that people have made too much of her crucifixion stunt, and insists that she was sending an important message to people through it.
The 'Hung Up' singer, who became a target of religious criticism after she performed live on stage hanging from a cross, said that if people chose to be shocked by such a stunt then they had every right to, but that she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.
"It is what you make of it. If you want to be shocked, be shocked. As I've said, I don't think Jesus would be mad at me, as my message during that song is not so different than his," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.
"I want to help make the world a better place. I want to open people's eyes to the suffering that's going on, especially the children still dying of AIDS in Africa. Besides, Jesus was not the only person who died on a cross," she added.
