Music icon Cyndi Lauper has revealed that while Madonna's attendance at the recent Women's March on Washington was important, she thinks her speech could have been less aggressive. 

During an interview on Watch What Happens Live, she told host Andy Cohen that the Queen of Pop's message might have been more powerful if it had been communicated without anger:

"I was glad that she went, I think it happens a lot when you are really jacked up on feeling your emotions. I don't think that it served our purpose because anger is not better than clarity and humanity - that is what opens people's minds. When you want to change people's minds, you have to share your real story. Like Scarlett Johansson - she shared her story, it was clear, it was eloquent. Yelling doesn't - it just jacks people up, but it doesn't communicate any kind of humanity or any kind of story that would open another person's mind."

Madonna addressed the crowd at the historic event and said: "Let's march together through this darkness and with each step know that we are not afraid, that we are not alone, that we will not back down. That there is power in our unity and that no opposing force stands a chance in the face of true solidarity. And to our detractors that insist that this march will never add up to anything, f**k you!"

"Yes, I am angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. But I know that this won't change anything. We can not fall into despair."
