I think the reason for Madonna getting so much anger and pure hate is because she has never shown any sign of backing down or regret. The press and quite frankly lots of people hate that. She’s been this indestructible human, and a woman, which has made the situation even more difficult for people to deal with. And she still sells out arenas and is controversial in her own way. Quite a remarkable human being in many ways. Thank you for your in depth analysis and commentary, you are always on point.
I love seeing Madonna in interviews ❤ She’s so open, honest, witty and authentic. I think it’s so sad that this was 1995 and nearly 30 years later, she’s still being judged and having to put up with the same old comments being made about her by the media. Just that now it’s amplified as she now has the internet “trolls” thrown into the mix. She’s absolutely right though… they’ll be kissing her ass once she’s gone!
Can't wait for you to get to Evita, I'm not quite sure how you would do it? You've got Don't Cry for me Argentina, You Must Love Me, Another Suitcase in Another Hall, Buenos Aires & Rainbow High are probably the best songs to do, but it would be so worth doing the whole movie in sections.
This was the first time I'd seen this interview in full and I loved it. Madonna really has whatever that special thing is and more of it than anybody else. The more she tells the world about herself, the more interesting she becomes, and that's rare. XxX
This is one of Madonna’s most intimate interviews. Like you said, she opens up about many topics, specially regarding her future family. She got one thing wrong though: she mentions she wants 2-3 children and she currently has 6 😅 by that time she gave a few more interviews showing vulnerability, which was good not just for us to get to know her better but also to prepare people for evita, making the world see that there was more to her than controversies. So glad you enjoyed this! This was such a lovely surprise from you. Now, I hope you enjoy the evita era too 😊 it’s one of her best
Thank you! ❤️❤️ We're very excited for the Evita era - Can't wait to hear the music (and feel the nostalgia for Buenos Aires). And yes, she did underestimate the number of children she would have, didn't she? 😉❤️
Hi Emily and Brenda. Albert from Phoenix, Arizona. Just wanted to say love watching your reaction to Madonna videos and interviews. The world needs more people like you open minded and positive individuals. Not sure how this goes first time ever commenting on here. I am listing three youtube videos on Madonna that you need to see, not sure if someone else has recommended them. Madonna on Johnny Carson 1987 duration 15 mins, Madonna 1987 interview with Jane Pauly duration 43 mins, this one is probably the first long interview and Madonna Primetime Live 1995 duration 15.23 minutes. Can't wait to see your reaction. Both take care.
Aww, thank you so much - You're very kind! ❤️❤️ And thank you for taking the time to comment and share those interview recommendations. We really appreciate it, and we're very grateful you're here! ❤️
❤ Much love from the UK 🇬🇧 always look forward to your reactions.. I saw madonna in concert 14th Oct last year opening night... Your both going to have a wild/enjoyable/emotional night.. Looking forward to your next video 😊
Love Madonna interviews she is very open about her career and life ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️thank you beautiful ladies for your reaction lovely❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love how pensive,considered and thoughtful she is, she isn’t just filling airspace, she speaks in an informed and honest way without regard to its reception….it’s just 100% her! I haven’t seen this since it aired all those years ago! Thank, thank THANK you! 👍💕🙏💕👍
Really enjoyed watching your reactions, makes for great viewing! Madonna, what can I say, she’s really is an incredible woman and you can only ever truly learn from her ❤
This was around the time, maybe a little earlier, she started making very careful choices on what she said. The moments you see her pausing to think. She was still Madonna, but we were getting to see the softer edges. She was either pregnant or about to become pregnant. I think that's why she turned the conversation away from it. She did end up a teacher, just not a "conventional" one. I know she was my teacher on life, on how to carry yourself to the outside world while remaining true to yourself. She was the best teacher I ever had.
Thank you to both of you for reacting to this interview. ❤ I don't remember ever watching this interview, and it was a treat to watch along with you. I am looking forward to your reactions to the Evita era! 💯
Omg! I love this interview! What a wonderful surprise ladies. I really enjoyed seeing this with you. She looks gorgeous in this Evita era. Can’t wait for your next video! Have a great day!! ♥️
This was a great interview. I remember watching and recording this when it aired. I was 17. Great questions and great answers. Thank you again, ladies, for sharing your thoughts while watching this with us. 🥰🥰
I’ve seen this interview several times before but it’s really fascinating watching it with someone that’s so interested, intelligent and fun to watch with!!!! Thank you both so much 👍👍🫶🫶👊👊Zane
girls! You have to react, this interview is really nice and remember to take your tissues😁 Madonna - Primetime Live interview (complete with teaser) (1995)
Having a trauma or death in their life past or present has and will make one of the best albums of their career. People love a dark melancholy album. By the way her transition into 2000’s was just as unique.
I think it was around this time that there was the Legendary interview Madonna had for MTV that was gatecrashed by Courtney Love please make sure you don't skip this honestly it's iconic
Thank you, i've never seen this before! She's so intelligent. If her music wasnt amazing and so versatile already but her personality and intelligence and wit, makes me love her even more. IMO she is such a good role model, it's crazy she has to deal with so much hatred when everything she puts out in the world seems to positive to me.
Hello! Just a suggestion…..While you are doing the Evita era,may I suggest you read ‘Madonna’s Private Diaries’ that were printed in Vanity Fair magazine. It’s archived online…just do a search.They are a fascinating read. One of the rare times you get to read Madonna’s thoughts,written by her own fair hand. I still have my hard copy from back in the day. Keep up the good work! Love from UK 🇬🇧 x
Great reactor you guys and I agree with you both; this was a great interview; by the way Brenda, you and Madonna are both sporting very similar hair styles and I must say that you are both rocking it really well. She’s rocking that hair beautifully and so are you. Just thought that as a gay man who acknowledges and appreciates beautiful women and beautiful style that I should mention it. Keep bringing us your reactions; I am really enjoying them
I was about to say the same thing. Very similar hair styles and both look absolutely fantastic with it. Madonna looked amazing at this time, hair, make up, so elegant.
Love your reaction to this great interview, she is not usually too receptive to female reporters, but was great in this one. For the Evita era, please rest to her Oprah Interview, maybe break it into two video’s, so you can react to the whole thing, it’s by far one of her best and most candid interviews after her daughter’s birth.😊❤
Hello Ladies! I hope this finds you well. I remember watching this interview on VH1 hahaha. I wanted to share a not so nice story involving Patti Lupone (Diva to the max) who originated Evita on Broadway. Patti LuPone is not a Madonna fan, clearly. The Broadway legend went off on Madge during Tuesday’s (May 9 2017 ) episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, where she made it clear she doesn’t care for Madge’s singing, acting, or anything else, really. The American Theater Hall of Famer took particular issue with Madonna’s portrayal of Argentina’s Eva Peron in the 1996 movie musical Evita, a role LuPone originated on Broadway in 1979. “I thought it was a piece of s-t,” she told host Cohen. “Madonna is a movie killer.” The two-time Grammy and Tony Award winner went after Madonna when a caller asked if the two had ever spoken about their shared performances as the late First Lady of Argentina. She explained that she was performing in Anything Goes while Madonna was making her Broadway debut in David Mamet’s Speed the Plow in 1988 when a press agent put a sign up that said “there was only one diva allowed” in the theater at a time. LuPone got a snicker out of that, but quickly followed up by saying that the only words Madonna has ever spoken to her were: “I’m taller than you.” That hurt, but LuPone was not nearly done. “She’s dead behind the eyes. She couldn’t act her way out of a paper bag. She should not be on film or on stage. She’s a wonderful performer for what she does, but she is not an actress.” This made me despise Patti. All she did was put another woman down instead of lifting her up. (Then again Madge does her own lifting)
LuPone had her time and acclaim portraying Evita on Broadway. She had worn-out the stage playing that role. You’re right, she felt entitled to play the film role. She has a reputation as a diva with a difficult personality. She was miffed when she was not considered for the Evita film, after Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli, were considered; Michelle Pfeiffer and then Meryl Streep both dropped out after being chosen for the role, and Madonna ended up being chosen by Alan Parker, Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Tim Rice. LuPone should ask these 3 why she was passed over instead of hating on Madonna. LuPone and Madonna don’t know each other personally or professionally. Her disparaging remarks about Madonna which she aired before Andy Cohen-another Madonna basher-made her sound like sour grapes, mean-spirited, petty and jealous. It’s doubtful Madonna ever made that comment about their height-Madonna is much too smarter to say something like that. Madonna throughout her career had graciously honored, paid tribute to many artists who had inspired and influenced her. She has acknowledged them in her artistry. She has collaborated with many other artists and inspired/mentored many other younger ones. In many recorded interviews, it’s rare if ever she’d shade another artist she doesn’t know out of jealousy or just to be mean-that’s not her style and character.
Thank you for sharing that story with us. ❤️❤️ The world would be such a better place if people could be more gracious and respectful of the talents of others...
So glad you covered this 1995 interview. ❤your insight and reaction. Her detractors were writing her-off here, a little over a decade into her career-little did they know she’d be producing more albums, music videos, selling out 8 more world concert tours way into 2024, and by 1996 she’d proved her doubters wrong by scoring her great acting/singing achievement in Evita. After the success of Evita, director Alan Parker said that Madonna played a big part in that success which I thought was an understatement. The film had a budget of $55M and grossed $141M in the box office-not including the revenue from the sale of the soundtrack album and singles-giving a handsome $return to the film producers Robert Stigwood, Alan Parker and Andrew Vajna. Most likely, Madonna’s global fandom accounted for that box office and soundtrack revenue. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice received their Golden Globes and Oscar awards for the song You Must Love Me which Madonna performed in the film and during the Oscars. True to her artistic passion, Madonna sacrificed money to get to play this role. She accepted a flat fee of $1M and waived the usual % of the box office revenue. She devoted nearly 2 years of her life for this film, where she could have instead made tens of millions$ more had she not shelved her Bedtime Stories world tour. Alan Parker could not secure the approval of the use of the historic Casa Rosada executive mansion for the balcony scene where Eva Peron gave her famous last speech, and where Madonna sang Don’t Cry For Me Argentina. It was Madonna’s personal initiative and charm that won over Carlos Menem, then Peronist President of Argentina, to approve the filming at that building that gave the film authenticity. Sure Madonna received the Golden Globes award for Best Actress in a music drama, but was snubbed at the Oscars. But despite that, Madonna graciously performed You Must Love Me at the Oscars which host Billy Crystal acknowledged. For Madonna, it was vindication enough that she can tackle the theatrical modern opera -like singing and acting for Evita as good as any of the established artists that was considered for the film. I think the best reward that she got out of Evita was earning the admiration and ardent loyalty of the Argentines and Latin America where Eva Peron is idolized. As fate would have it, it took a pop music and cultural icon in Madonna to portray a spiritual and political icon in Eva Peron. For this, Madonna is revered and beloved in Argentina just like their soccer heroes Maradona and Messi. The Argentines will show this admiration and love when Madonna returned 13 years later in 2008/09 during her spectacular sold out Sticky&Sweet tour in Buenos Aires where she serenaded the adoring audience with a beautiful and touching You Must Love Me and Don’t Cry For Me Argentina. This was a legendary show.
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️ And thank you for that beautiful description of her path to becoming Evita. We're incredibly excited for this era (and to see her in this role). "As fate would have it, it took a pop music and cultural icon in Madonna to portray a spiritual and political icon in Eva Peron." So well said! ❤️
@@OurAnxiousReactions Pls check your reaction video (part 2) of her 1985 Virgin Tour. In my follow up comment there, I shared a rare collector’s video footage of her attending the premiere of Desperately Seeking Susan in Los Angeles. She looked stunning at that appearance-a must see for us fans.
@@OurAnxiousReactions Sometime either before or after recording of the soundtrack of Evita in London in 1995, a photo call was made of the principals; here’s a video link of this photo shoot ua-cam.com/video/uyLIZoLNa-A/v-deo.htmlsi=qLe3cj4vC3hQXcsD At around the 54 second mark, standing from L to R: producers Robert Stigwood, Andrew Vajna, Alan Parker (director also), lyricist Tim Rice, Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Madonna (seated), actors Jonathan Pryce, Antonio Banderas. Fascinating interaction here of the “rose among the thorns”.
What an amazing piece of history - Thank you for sharing that with us! ❤️❤️ It's incredible to show so much grace and good humor with everyone shouting... That alone is a special talent! 😉
MADONNA ON THE ARSENIO HALL SHOW WAS ICONIC…. she gave him all the trash talk he tried to pull on her…. It was the interview to promote Dick Tracy… She will have you laughing so hard…. AND SHE LOOKED STUNNING….. Madonna for this part of Evita she wrote the Director a 4 page letter telling him every reason why she should be the actress for the part… convinced he gave her a audition…
@@OurAnxiousReactions DEFINITELY… and she won a golden globe for her performance… she looked stunning that night … checkout that video clip of her winning… so cute
please please check out Madonna Artist Achievement Award 1996 (Tony Bennett presents) video. Not great quality video but who cares. It will give you goosebumps.
It's a very interesting interview, right girls? Soon after, in the Evita promo she gave an even better one, the Primetime interview, if you want to watch it, it's short, it's only 12 minutes long, I'll leave the link. What did you think of the "remix" version of Love Don't Live Here Anymore? Do you prefer the one in the music video or the one in the album? Kisses from Brazil. ua-cam.com/video/30VIEjvM9eA/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for the link to that interview - Looking forward to it! ❤️❤️ We preferred the remix album version to the video one too - Both are great, but the instrumentals on that version are just gorgeous. ❤️ 😘
I think the reason for Madonna getting so much anger and pure hate is because she has never shown any sign of backing down or regret. The press and quite frankly lots of people hate that. She’s been this indestructible human, and a woman, which has made the situation even more difficult for people to deal with. And she still sells out arenas and is controversial in her own way. Quite a remarkable human being in many ways. Thank you for your in depth analysis and commentary, you are always on point.

Just that now it’s amplified as she now has the internet “trolls” thrown into the mix. She’s absolutely right though… they’ll be kissing her ass once she’s gone!
❤️❤️
The other interview where she talks about her mother and tears up always makes me cry, I can relate
Please react to her 1995 Primetime interview, it is probably the most vulnerable and open I’ve seen her.
I agree!
Can't wait for you to get to Evita, I'm not quite sure how you would do it? You've got Don't Cry for me Argentina, You Must Love Me, Another Suitcase in Another Hall, Buenos Aires & Rainbow High are probably the best songs to do, but it would be so worth doing the whole movie in sections.

Hello! Just a suggestion…..While you are doing the Evita era,may I suggest you read ‘Madonna’s Private Diaries’ that were printed in Vanity Fair magazine.

Hello Ladies!
I hope this finds you well. I remember watching this interview on VH1 hahaha.
I wanted to share a not so nice story involving Patti Lupone (Diva to the max) who originated Evita on Broadway.
Patti LuPone is not a Madonna fan, clearly. The Broadway legend went off on Madge during Tuesday’s (May 9 2017 ) episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, where she made it clear she doesn’t care for Madge’s singing, acting, or anything else, really.

Hi you two - please, please, please do a review of the full Evita film at some point 🙏🏻!!! Love - Alan in England Xxx
Love that idea! ❤️❤️
When are you going to celebration tour? I can't wait to hear about it!! I'm going March 5 in Los Angeles

@@OurAnxiousReactions Pls check your reaction video (part 2) of her 1985 Virgin Tour. In my follow up comment there, I shared a rare collector’s video footage of her attending the premiere of Desperately Seeking Susan in Los Angeles. She looked stunning at that appearance-a must see for us fans.
Thank so much for sharing that with us - Can't wait to see it. ❤️❤️
@@OurAnxiousReactions Sometime either before or after recording of the soundtrack of Evita in London in 1995, a photo call was made of the principals; here’s a video link of this photo shoot ua-cam.com/video/uyLIZoLNa-A/v-deo.htmlsi=qLe3cj4vC3hQXcsD
At around the 54 second mark, standing from L to R: producers Robert Stigwood, Andrew Vajna, Alan Parker (director also), lyricist Tim Rice, Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Madonna (seated), actors Jonathan Pryce, Antonio Banderas. Fascinating interaction here of the “rose among the thorns”.
What an amazing piece of history - Thank you for sharing that with us! ❤️❤️
It's incredible to show so much grace and good humor with everyone shouting... That alone is a special talent! 😉
MADONNA ON THE ARSENIO HALL SHOW WAS ICONIC…. she gave him all the trash talk he tried to pull on her…. It was the interview to promote Dick Tracy… She will have you laughing so hard…. AND SHE LOOKED STUNNING….. Madonna for this part of Evita she wrote the Director a 4 page letter telling him every reason why she should be the actress for the part… convinced he gave her a audition…
It really seemed like it was meant to be for her to play the role of Evita. ❤️❤️
@@OurAnxiousReactions DEFINITELY… and she won a golden globe for her performance… she looked stunning that night … checkout that video clip of her winning… so cute
I’m looking forward to Evita reaction. I’m curious if you are going to go in order of the film soundtrack.
We'll planning to follow the order of the singles (so the first one from the Evita album is You Must Love Me). ❤️❤️
Awesome Ladies! Thank you for another great reaction to the Blonde with Ambition and her amazing interview.❤️

If you get the chance watch the Andrew Denton interview with Madonna, it's refreshingly intelligent and fun she's very at ease .
Thank you for the recommendation! ❤️❤️

It's a very interesting interview, right girls? Soon after, in the Evita promo she gave an even better one, the Primetime interview, if you want to watch it, it's short, it's only 12 minutes long, I'll leave the link. What did you think of the "remix" version of Love Don't Live Here Anymore? Do you prefer the one in the music video or the one in the album?

Thank you so much for the link to that interview - Looking forward to it! ❤️❤️
We preferred the remix album version to the video one too - Both are great, but the instrumentals on that version are just gorgeous. ❤️ 😘
