No one gives one whit about Annie Lennox. She herself doesn’t seem to be too concerned about the aging process. She’s an artist and is just good. Madonna cares way too much about her aging. She seems very uncomfortable with it. She’s interesting as an entertainer but an artist is a stretch in my opinion.
Anyone who criticizes her age will be her age in a blink of an eye and will not have done a millionth of what this woman has done. And in the grand scheme of life, she is still a young woman.
She’s so creative it’s amazing. Some artists just produce an album and don’t put any thought into it. Madonna comes up with an alter ego, a back story, and conveys so much emotion into her music. She’s still number 1
I'm impressed with this interview.Kudos to Harry Smith. He did his research and he conducted it with so much introspection and respect for the artist that is Madonna. He was able to draw so much from Madonna.
People don’t give Madonna enough credit for her artistic talents. I’m listening to the “Madame X” album and it’s a creative, musical masterpiece. The lyrics and music are beautifully raw. Madonna is an artist who constantly pushes the boundaries with her art and I’m constantly inspired by her.
Tell you what they don't do.. They don't listen at all in the first place, they just trash immediately they even hear her name. Quite a few people have passed through my life that came with the - Oh no, you don't like Madonna do you?? ( After seeing the OBVIOUS after taking a look in my music shelves ) So, what i used to do is TRICK them.. Listen to a lot of other music and get them engaged in a conversation about music, anything and everything except Madonna.. and with a sufficient amount of time having passed, after a few drinks ( or a joint ;) i'd suddenly put on a Madonna pearl i was absolutely sure they will never have heard.. like Swim, original, or Father...whatever.. and suddenly these peeps go - Oh that's a really nice song!! WHO is that?? For real, the haters have never listened to her.
I was a huge fan up to Confessions and then I lost interest. With hard candy she wasn't on top anymore. Not setting trends, but running after the trends
She is EXACTLY the type of person that took this country and burned it to the ground. Disagree with order and decency, but to campaign for the opposite is another story. So dark. And so culturally devastating.
How are y'all gonna clown her for doing something EVERYONE does? We all age! I'm in my 20s but hope I get to see my 60s and be as vibrant as Madge is now. Shes amazing
Ian Lee that is your way of thinking, don’t try to make it everyone’s standard way of thinking. She is an artist and a very good one at that, I wish people would just stop concentrating on her looks or age and discuss what is relevant here, her album.
African Woman ....she’s the one that lives a public life claiming she’s Miss X, a secret agent spy that sleeps with one eye open or whatever ridiculous persona shes acquired to stay relevant in show business. That’s what a comment section is for, so you can tell me what a wonderful creative artist she is and by same token, I can have my own opinion, that it’s a silly, juvenile, gimmick. What kind of person tells another that they should not have an opinion? An arrogant one I think.
Ian Lee well I just started my comment with "that is your way of thinking,,,,". Meaning it’s your opinion, not everyone else and definitely not mine too. You just wrote its an image she is putting for showsbiz, so why are you behaving like this is who she is in real life, like she will be hanging in the kitchen making coffee looking like madam x! You sound like those kids covering themselves with tattoos because they saw a famous person having them, then they realise ten years later those famous people did not even have tattoos to begin with, it was just an image.
She is EXACTLY the type of person that took this country and burned it to the ground. Disagree with order and decency, but to campaign for the opposite is another story. So dark. And so culturally devastating.
And Harry does not bow down or kiss her booty. His approach is very inviting. Ss well his questions are well thought out and he actually knows what he is talking about.
Let me tell you something Madonna. I never, ever had any conflict about what I feel for you. Since 1983, my love for you just get stronger and stronger.
She speaks so eloquently but seems very anxious, she obviously doesnt enjoy doing these types of interviews but he does an amazing job at getting her to open up. Xx
Juliet Coates She must be exhausted of doing back to back interviews, just think about it, she’s been in this game since 1982, and that length of time how many interviews do you think she’s done back to back to back to back?
Then why do interviews at all? Can't she promote her new album in other ways? I mean there is the internet. She's a pro. The world has evolved in that arena. If it's about the music and the message then why does she feel she needed to use a persona? There's no mystery with mystique.
@@melloneesnyder7434 not everyine has easy access to the internet like you and i so she has to 'play the game'. As far as the persona I suspect thats part of the show, the music, the video the outfits, the imagery its what madonna is all about and in my opinion shes one of the best at doing the 'show' ❤
It seems she's on some kind of medication. She slurs. She Stutters. And takes a while to compose her sentences. Something is not quite right there. Contrary to many of her fans on this posts, I do not find her articulate at all In interviews. She never interviews well as a subject because of her defensiveness. This lack of focus and distraction of Madonna's has been a common thread throughout this whole Madame X promotion on various tv chat shows (watch Graham Norton) and interviews such as the Andrew Denton one. Has she taken up drinking alcohol? Seems that it's alcohol plus medication (anti-depressants?) not sure...
The album is a pure masterpiece. Honestly, don't listen to the media and the tabloids trashing her due to her age. This is easily one of the best albums of the year. Go & listen for yourself.
You must be super young, or lived in a cave.... Madonna has been doing interviews for years, has done several movies, a couple documentaries on her life and even came on Will and Grace 😂😂😂
@@jeanniesPlanet I live in Italy and I'm not a big fan; hence those appearances were not so evident to me as to the rest of the World but US people I guess
Madonna is so expressive nowdays. She seems to be in a lot of emotional pain, but not in a bad way. I guess she was always tormented but as she got older she is more open to her feelings and emotions. In the past she was addicted to fame, scandals, achievements, exercise and a non-stop work schedule. Right now she seems more in peace with her own tormented self.
Firstname Lastname Really? Well, I don't, this latest album is really awful and she's always so stiff and standoffish in her interviews. I miss that old Madonna you're talking about so much.
A woman addicted to fame, scandals, achievements and exercises, how dare! Madonna has been persecuted by the media, society and the world, just for not playing the expected role, for not only smiling and saying that everything is fine, everything is just a "misunderstanding". No, it's not okay, a woman has the right to seek, to dream and to have the goals she wants. Why don't you, and everyone else, also blame powerful men who, like her, are addicted to work, fame and power? Do you blame a woman for not presenting the virtues you and society expect, and then you and your friends bother with commercials denouncing ''toxic masculinity''?
'This is not background music.' I couldn't agree more. I've listened to this album probably 6 times all the way through, each time with a really great set of headphones on. And during each listen I find something new. 'Madame X' is sonically Madonna's best work since 'Ray of Light' and she has every right to be very proud of it. It's just a shame that the powers that be in the game of commercial radio (and it IS a game) won't give these songs a wider audience - they only see her as 'an icon' or 'a legend,' not as 'an artist.'
NothingHereToSeeMoveOn ...me too. I listened to it 12 times in a row. Also with good headphones and hear things I didn’t hear before. Mostly horrible things, this last time I thought she was telling me to get lip injections and buy an eye patch. I’m going back and listen to it until she gives me some positive affirmation.
It’s weird. The echo of the room brings such an open and honest take to this interview. It’s almost dark. It’s almost like your in the room. Or down the hall. Listening to 2 people talk amongst themselves.
Madonna is definitely the most relevant female artist of all times... Again... And once more ... Her album hit number 1 today in more then 60 countries. ... All the haters here below should just shove it.... And get out of here. No space for ignorance here and for ugly stupid comments. Madonna is an incredible human being! And a true unstoppable huge superstar . ♥️
Candace Bennett Karen Carpenter got hits for about five minutes, and is completely forgotten by everyone under a certain age. Cannot hold a candle to Madonna.
@@PDC1987 Yeah keep telling yourself that. She didn't hump everything on stage like Madonna did. She had a gorgeous voice for people who appreciate music.
@@candacebennett434 Humps everything on stage? You sure about that? I really like Karen's voice (voice of an angel) but to say Madonna humps everything on stage is way off the line. We're allowed to have our opinion but distorting the truth is delusional.
The stupidty and arrogance of todays simple minds. To attack her simply because she is the age she is.. Wake up ! We must learn to appreciate life goes in stages.
They aren't attacking her. They expose all the insane surgeries she had had done. She needs to see a therapist and not another plastic surgeon. She obviously does not love herself
@@palestar828 changing your look (which is the same with plastic surgery) has, in fact, nothing to do with "hating yourself"... this is just a stupid and way too simple way of thinking. She's evolving herself as an artist over and over again, that is and ALWAYS was her biggest passion. And yes, she also uses plastic surgeries for that, but to criticize her because of that is exactly as dumb as criticizing her for being in her age. Because? Because it is not our business at all... take her as an artist as SHE wants to be or leave her alone. It is THAT easy, but people love to hate and criticize on other people lifes. But it isn't your life... your opinion is completely irrelevant. Get.Over.It! lmao
@@visualhatefvck a lot of people get plastic surgery done because they dislike themselves so I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't even read your whole rant because it doesn't make sense. She looks ridiculous to me. She needs to see a therapist and accept aging. It happens to everyone.
I love Madonna's new persona. She's more vulnerable, self aware & laid back now but from time to time, she still knows how to pack a punch with her witty observations. I love when she said that she does not expect the whole world to like her new record. But only a handful who appreciates this new musical direction is more than enough. And I definitely love the eyepatch symbolism, wounded but resilient. This is a great reinvention!
I miss Madonna’s interviews, we haven’t heard her talking since Madame X period. It would be nice to hear her new outlook and thoughts about life since 2019.
" Do you know how much you mean to people?" I have the answer: When I was a teenager, I decided to learn English to understand each of your words...I eventually became an English teacher, so Madame X, let me tell you that you brought me happiness and a JOB. I am so happy about it that each year, one of my units of work in class is dedicated to YOU :-)
Bertrand Scuiller ...amazing!! Most people would pick someone to admire like, Anne Frank or Mother Teresa, etc. no you choose Madonna or her alter ego Madame X. By the Way, I took your English class, can’t write a sentence but I dance like a mfer.
She is one of the most successful women alive today in music and performance art. Haters seem to be threatened by powerful women with strong opinions. Bringing up her age or telling her to retire is the cheapest jab at her I can think of. We all age and being old is a state of mind. We should all aspire to have this kind of fire and work ethic when we are 60 or older. Slowing down is as good as being dead.
Imagine working at a printing press or any random job and being the #1 guy at each or any job. Now imagine maintaining that excellence and staying #1 for 40 years. This is Madonna's career. Absolutely amazing.
I just read that her new album is expecting to sale as much as 100k this week in the US alone and that it’s breaking a record...crazy how nearly 40 years in the business she still proves she has the staying power among the top pop artists of today...no wonder she’s The Queen of pop! Go Madonna
She grabbed the LGBT crowd because she needed them to sell albums to. She cares about money and being idolized. She played them, that's all. Ultimate manipulation for money. She's gotta pay her taxes.
@@nightowls7324 Yah, most people I know couldn't even name a song she had since the 90s. I remember Frozen. My issue had always been with her, is that instead of focusing on raw talent, she made her entire career over shocking people.....but she's now ran out of things to come up with, other than acting silly on tiktok
She does speak about her venerability. She said "that is essential." I also think (and I may be projecting here,) aging is not fun, no matter who you are. I read more and more comments about her age, and the work she may have done on her face...I think as we age, we can become more fragile and again, venerable.
Madonna is phenomenal. One problem tho. She can't let herself relax and just be. Always controlling, always doubting everyone, criticizing, looking down... There are tons of signs that she's very insecure little girl yet powerful great woman. So weird.
I feel she's like that.. Because when she speaks her mind, (like in her early years)... Everything got twisted... Now I feel she takes everything with a pitch of salt because she feels all interviews may end up with bad press... I mean everyone wants to pull her down... She's Madonna!!!
@@tanz5389 So..? How is that any correlated to the quality of the album..? And there goes another mindless sheep stupidly assimilating commercial success with quality. Ugh. Anyways, the album is in fact absolute garbage.
I like how she says "It's not that kind of a record". She made an album that she wanted to make and seems less bothered abut having a huge hit. Good on her.
God Madonna is fantastic when she’s asked intelligent questions. Also: “Some of them are more charming, some are more cultured, some listen better” she handing compliments there sir.
Great interview. I love the vulnerability she shows here, the butterflies...the caring about what people think of her record. Always so smart too. "God is always there, taunting me, daring me...a God to give thanks to and to question."
The reason why she's so influential is because she is is a protective, scared, famous, over protective woman... But when she released music or is on stage she is magic... And thats why she is successful... Yes she does have an ego.. But its a crushed ego... She is aware of her success but is also scared it'll go... She's not an ego maniac like people want her to be.. She just a normal woman that speaks her mind and get nervous about it but can do it well!
I wouldn't use the word normal, she is human yes, and feels vulnerable sometimes like we all do, but normal no, she has bought herself creative freedoms that most can only dream about - she is highly self developed.
Madonna I love you have since 1984. We as fans do care about you and will love you to the end. Madame X is a masterpiece for sure but I think there is a lot more to come from you something entirely different and unique to you and your talent. Loved what you said about God and how you always as why. I can relate. Love you forever. Je t'aime Queen of Pop there will never be another like you
No her influence comes from her devil worship! She is a satanist and uses rictuals in her music... Those listening to her music are participating in these rictuals!
Me @51 yrs. : Am honestly one of the conflicted people about how I feel about Madonna ; but in all I believe about her no matter what I feel I must take a bow and love her as I have since the tender age of sixteen. I can not imagine conquering my adolescence and young adulthood without Madonna's music and inspiration for survival. As much as I have not always felt the way she does about peoples life differences and beliefs ; I believe she has not only commanded respect and deserves it but I know she has earned it .
Madonna looks very tired and sad in this interview. People need to start to enjoy her . Michael and prince and Whitney is gone . Madonna is pure artist
People say what a shame it is when a talented woman dies young, then they criticize women who age for getting old. You will never please everyone, so you do you. For the haters: she doesn't need your approval. Who are you anyway? She is an icon.
Lately the educated reporters seem the most joyful and interesting. She seems to check with him for constant validation. “Don’t take your eyes off me.” He was ever so classy. And a perfect interviewer.
Of all the things I admire about Madonna the main ones; creativity, courage and persistence. We could all learn to be more of who we really are without fear of other people's judgement.
This is potentially the best interview Madonna has ever given. Because it wasn't an interview! You could easily see, and easily gain from their interaction, that this was a conversation between friends.
#1 in 60 COUNTRIES on release date must be such a kick in the balls for all those pathetic, ageist, sexist low-'energy' haters. That's the thing with trolls - they're just loud(er) cause they're bitter and wanna get heard. These days with SM everyone just seem to be a critic and lash out. I actually feel sorry for them cause it must be exhausting! Madonna seems to have the last laugh after all... Her new album is phenomenal I have to say! Best one since 'Confessions' (at least!) #LOVE
A hundred points for your comment. Some people Just hate her. Maybe caus they cant reach her. So they invent what they pretend to be justification for their hate. Quite pathetic, I Say. Long Live the Queen and the GODDESS! VIVA MADONNA!
It think maybe, its because they really cant find anything else to complain about. I'm sure most of all her haters have danced to her music at the clubs, Hypocrites.
This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen with her. Harry's an equal and they can match each other's intellect. It's a lot more exposed than normal (you can tell she's nervous about speaking so frankly) and the content is fascinating.
I just love this woman, this fighter, this vulnerable and courageous soul so much, I would never in my life have the honor and the pleasure to take the whole time to tell Madonna how much she means to me, how much she saved me, she made me cry, dance, laugh, reflex, complain, ask... I just love Madame X❤️🖤❤️
It’s so nice to see a softer Madonna. Still has bite but more sensitive. Love the new album and I think her fans want her to be number one everywhere! 👑💖❌💫
FabyoulousfabTaurus Tiger .....it’s a lot easier to get softer and more sensitive when you’re 60 but I got meaner and grumpier. I wear two eye patches.
Sweet. I have more respect for Madonna than I ever have. Way to be you and express that, Madonna. Thanks for being your own special ray of light and hope to the world.
@ There is always good and bad things when artists take different ways to keep creating. I love that she has always been risky and never repeated herself, but in the last years I found her very lazy in her music, not innovative but just making mainstream music like just for paying her bills. I found her last records repetitive, boring and mediocre. And her last move making reggaeton was the last straw for me because I loathe this... music.
Her sensibilities touch me because each time Madonna dings, speaks, is reflection,she defends her conviction point of view and she is so so tolerance because some people insult her and I don't know a lot of people who can stay quiet in this case. TRUE ARTIST SHE IS SO SO STRONG 💪 INTELLIGENCE and we appreciate with deeply respect her carreer and her personality ❤️ 👏 💖
This album is so good. It’s going to take a spot as one of her best ever 🙌 it needs to be listened to in full, like she said. As a whole piece of art 😎🙌
Fernando Quinones I totally agree! I felt the same about both songs until I heard them in the full context. Even the bonus songs are awesome! Still listening 😍
"Who's Madame X"? How many times are interviewers going to ask this, a simple google search would answer that. It's Madonna for god's sake, I have SO many questions for this woman besides that one.
She keeps getting asked tho because she has made it so prominent in this project- like Dita for Erotica. Plus, these interviewers have to inform their specific audiences- most non Madonna fans aren’t consuming all the stories I get so many people won’t know who madame x is unless it comes into their world
Actually, no. It is a famous play long before Madonna was born and Martha Graham never called Madonna that during her time at the school, nor would Martha say the ridiculous things Madonna stated (about Madonna reminding her of a secret agent, changing her look all the time, etc. ) because Madonna wasn't even changing her looks during that time and Madame X wasn't a spy. Martha was educated enough where she would never have connected that nonsense. Martha wasn't teaching then, (she was in her 80s), and she was in poor health. She wasn't meeting with individual student troublemakers. That is beyond ridiculous that anyone would buy her story. Madonna didn't even meet Martha until after she became famous. In all the years of stories, Madonna never mentioned this supposed nickname until she decided to name her album/character this. Too funny. And Martha isn't around to dispute it. Madonna has always been good at media manipulation, but we older folks know the truth. Looking away, btw, isn't a "tell". Psychopaths, for example, lie all the time without looking away and honest people will look away to collect thoughts. Ms. M is full of it.
Like he said in the Interview she means so much to me . There are no words I can type that express my love for this amazing women. I had to loses my Italian mothers to here the words in her songs about how much she misses hers . Love you Madonna !!!!!!!!
As a huge fan for more than 35 years, I was initially a bit wary of this new look and direction. But I also realized how unimportant that is in the big picture. How many other superstars manage to remain relevant and interesting and on top of their game for as long as Madonna? Very, very, very few. I’m honored to have been witness to the journey she’s taken me (and the rest of the world) on...and, as always, will follow her wherever she decides to go next.
Madonna we love you thank you for sticking up for those who are different and condemned. Thank you for simply being yourself you are amazing. Youve made a huge impact.
One of Madonna's best interviews. And it is noticeable how well and kindly I say the Interviewer handled the interview. What struck me and made me sad was the part where she wasn't 'sure what she means to people'. Obvious, as much as many love her; way too many hate her. They Just hate her. Maybe caus they can't reach her. So they invent what they pretend to be justification for their hate. Quite pathetic, I Say. Long Live the Queen and the GODDESS! VIVA MADONNA! I am always loving her. True Leader.
It's never easy with Madonna, she's just usually so abrasive and combatant in conversation - this interview cuts through that and was really interesting to watch.
The album is really good. I'm disappointed with the easy shots people are taking at her age. Female artists don't die after 35. Get over it.
Well said :)
THANK YOU!!!
No one gives one whit about Annie Lennox. She herself doesn’t seem to be too concerned about the aging process. She’s an artist and is just good. Madonna cares way too much about her aging. She seems very uncomfortable with it. She’s interesting as an entertainer but an artist is a stretch in my opinion.
pevitzachast Madonna’s not an artist but some of her videos are in the MoMA? Okay makes a lot of sense 🙄
When she first started she talked about aging stars...and she was mean...so payback....because if you live long enough you will get old....
Anyone who criticizes her age will be her age in a blink of an eye and will not have done a millionth of what this woman has done. And in the grand scheme of life, she is still a young woman.
Well said
True that, its upsetting how she's being criticized for that
Scott Clayton wow, this is surely a great perspective!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 I totally agree!!
Nope shes a old hag

She’s so creative it’s amazing. Some artists just produce an album and don’t put any thought into it. Madonna comes up with an alter ego, a back story, and conveys so much emotion into her music. She’s still number 1
When she is interviewed by someone who is intelligent and asks interesting questions, she is so fascinating to listen to.
I completely agree, Cory. I found this interview to be very interesting.
hes an annoying ugly white bald man - the questions arent intelligent madonna is just intelligent - this interviewer is disgusting .
He is a great interviewer!
@@ArcaneStar1 Wrong.
Michael Duvic best you could do?
Actually, for being over 60, her voice has not changed much.... she sounds just like she did in the 90’s ❤️
Maybe early 90s, before she learned how to sing? I love her voice then, and now. But Evita and ROL were vocal masterpieces.
Quite strange for a human
Yo
yes she does
She became very English while living in England and married to Guy Ritchie. Now her voice has returned to her earlier days
Notice her face, eyes, and body language when she says that she has her days when she feels like "an open wound". Wow. She felt that.

Then why do interviews at all? Can't she promote her new album in other ways? I mean there is the internet. She's a pro. The world has evolved in that arena. If it's about the music and the message then why does she feel she needed to use a persona? There's no mystery with mystique.
@@melloneesnyder7434 not everyine has easy access to the internet like you and i so she has to 'play the game'. As far as the persona I suspect thats part of the show, the music, the video the outfits, the imagery its what madonna is all about and in my opinion shes one of the best at doing the 'show' ❤
It seems she's on some kind of medication. She slurs. She Stutters. And takes a while to compose her sentences. Something is not quite right there. Contrary to many of her fans on this posts, I do not find her articulate at all In interviews. She never interviews well as a subject because of her defensiveness. This lack of focus and distraction of Madonna's has been a common thread throughout this whole Madame X promotion on various tv chat shows (watch Graham Norton) and interviews such as the Andrew Denton one. Has she taken up drinking alcohol? Seems that it's alcohol plus medication (anti-depressants?) not sure...
Her answer to who is Madam X, is so poetic, and so dense in meaning, I get shivers.
The concept of "Madame X" is what Madonna's been doing all her career.
Agree 🤛🏾
P R little B yes!
Madame X is a metaphor for Madonna. It’s genius
Every Album has been a different character. My favorite was Dita.
Since dancing lessons era!
The album is a pure masterpiece. Honestly, don't listen to the media and the tabloids trashing her due to her age. This is easily one of the best albums of the year. Go & listen for yourself.
Springsteen is no 1 at 69 years of age. Stop the lies. Her album sucks
It's terrible
the album is great. "God Control" is a work of art. It has a very "Clockwork Orange" sinister/ironic vibe to it.
@@letBIGGIErest "Work of art"... good one
@@leolight5369 it's better than anything else that's out right now
After all these years it's the first time I got curious to hear her voice when she's not singing. She is charming actually.
You must be super young, or lived in a cave.... Madonna has been doing interviews for years, has done several movies, a couple documentaries on her life and even came on Will and Grace 😂😂😂
@@jeanniesPlanet I live in Italy and I'm not a big fan; hence those appearances were not so evident to me as to the rest of the World but US people I guess
Madonna is so expressive nowdays. She seems to be in a lot of emotional pain, but not in a bad way. I guess she was always tormented but as she got older she is more open to her feelings and emotions. In the past she was addicted to fame, scandals, achievements, exercise and a non-stop work schedule. Right now she seems more in peace with her own tormented self.
Exercise addicted, British, slim faced Madonna was everything.
@@FirstnameLastname-nx1oh You mean 2000's Madonna? Or was it Ray of light?
Firstname Lastname Really? Well, I don't, this latest album is really awful and she's always so stiff and standoffish in her interviews. I miss that old Madonna you're talking about so much.
A woman addicted to fame, scandals, achievements and exercises, how dare!
Madonna has been persecuted by the media, society and the world, just for not playing the expected role, for not only smiling and saying that everything is fine, everything is just a "misunderstanding".
No, it's not okay, a woman has the right to seek, to dream and to have the goals she wants.
Why don't you, and everyone else, also blame powerful men who, like her, are addicted to work, fame and power?
Do you blame a woman for not presenting the virtues you and society expect, and then you and your friends bother with commercials denouncing ''toxic masculinity''?
'This is not background music.' I couldn't agree more. I've listened to this album probably 6 times all the way through, each time with a really great set of headphones on. And during each listen I find something new. 'Madame X' is sonically Madonna's best work since 'Ray of Light' and she has every right to be very proud of it. It's just a shame that the powers that be in the game of commercial radio (and it IS a game) won't give these songs a wider audience - they only see her as 'an icon' or 'a legend,' not as 'an artist.'
NothingHereToSeeMoveOn ...me too. I listened to it 12 times in a row. Also with good headphones and hear things I didn’t hear before. Mostly horrible things, this last time I thought she was telling me to get lip injections and buy an eye patch. I’m going back and listen to it until she gives me some positive affirmation.
It’s weird. The echo of the room brings such an open and honest take to this interview. It’s almost dark. It’s almost like your in the room. Or down the hall. Listening to 2 people talk amongst themselves.
You're

mpourmpoulithra2011 for like a day
Madonna is definitely the most relevant female artist of all times... Again... And once more ... Her album hit number 1 today in more then 60 countries. ... All the haters here below should just shove it.... And get out of here. No space for ignorance here and for ugly stupid comments. Madonna is an incredible human being! And a true unstoppable huge superstar . ♥️
People are allowed to have different view points. I would have to say Karen Carpenter is right up there with female artists.
Candace Bennett Karen Carpenter got hits for about five minutes, and is completely forgotten by everyone under a certain age. Cannot hold a candle to Madonna.
@@PDC1987 Yeah keep telling yourself that. She didn't hump everything on stage like Madonna did. She had a gorgeous voice for people who appreciate music.
@@candacebennett434 Humps everything on stage? You sure about that? I really like Karen's voice (voice of an angel) but to say Madonna humps everything on stage is way off the line. We're allowed to have our opinion but distorting the truth is delusional.
The stupidty and arrogance of todays simple minds. To attack her simply because she is the age she is.. Wake up ! We must learn to appreciate life goes in stages.
They gonna get old one day and they gonna realize how stupid they are
They aren't attacking her. They expose all the insane surgeries she had had done. She needs to see a therapist and not another plastic surgeon. She obviously does not love herself
@@palestar828 i think she still looks good.
@@palestar828 changing your look (which is the same with plastic surgery) has, in fact, nothing to do with "hating yourself"... this is just a stupid and way too simple way of thinking. She's evolving herself as an artist over and over again, that is and ALWAYS was her biggest passion. And yes, she also uses plastic surgeries for that, but to criticize her because of that is exactly as dumb as criticizing her for being in her age. Because? Because it is not our business at all... take her as an artist as SHE wants to be or leave her alone. It is THAT easy, but people love to hate and criticize on other people lifes. But it isn't your life... your opinion is completely irrelevant. Get.Over.It! lmao
@@visualhatefvck a lot of people get plastic surgery done because they dislike themselves so I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't even read your whole rant because it doesn't make sense. She looks ridiculous to me. She needs to see a therapist and accept aging. It happens to everyone.
I love Madonna's new persona. She's more vulnerable, self aware & laid back now but from time to time, she still knows how to pack a punch with her witty observations.
I love when she said that she does not expect the whole world to like her new record. But only a handful who appreciates this new musical direction is more than enough. And I definitely love the eyepatch symbolism, wounded but resilient. This is a great reinvention!
Christian Aseron ikr she’s so humble and sweet. I like this side of her.

Very smart and calm, intelligent interview. I always respected her work but now I have new found respect just for who she is as a person. ✌🏻🌈
👍
I miss Madonna’s interviews, we haven’t heard her talking since Madame X period. It would be nice to hear her new outlook and thoughts about life since 2019.
" Do you know how much you mean to people?" I have the answer: When I was a teenager, I decided to learn English to understand each of your words...I eventually became an English teacher, so Madame X, let me tell you that you brought me happiness and a JOB. I am so happy about it that each year, one of my units of work in class is dedicated to YOU :-)
n'aw did you make it. pat yourself on the back you poor oppressed little dreamer.
@@hindenberg507 Why so unnecessarily hateful ? Shut the fvck up already you angry weirdo
That's amazing! Congratulations!!!
Bertrand Scuiller ...amazing!! Most people would pick someone to admire like, Anne Frank or Mother Teresa, etc. no you choose Madonna or her alter ego Madame X. By the Way, I took your English class, can’t write a sentence but I dance like a mfer.
Beautiful story !!!
I love the fragility of her here. She is just so eloquent
She anything but fragile. She's a f#cking boss. She shows vulnerability, but not fragility.
Tom Jones - haha! Go fulfil your nonexistent, meaningless life 😂
Finally she got interview with depth and intelligent questions
She is one of the most successful women alive today in music and performance art. Haters seem to be threatened by powerful women with strong opinions. Bringing up her age or telling her to retire is the cheapest jab at her I can think of. We all age and being old is a state of mind. We should all aspire to have this kind of fire and work ethic when we are 60 or older. Slowing down is as good as being dead.
You are delusional. Go plan your next lgb parade, and leave grown up conversations to adults. Lolz 😂
She gives the best and most interesting interviews. She has a smart humor, that people translate it as "rude".
Illuminati King it’s funny sarcasm .. I loove this Woman
Exactly!
She does! You could tell you could talk to her for hours and hours she so talented.
Imagine working at a printing press or any random job and being the #1 guy at each or any job. Now imagine maintaining that excellence and staying #1 for 40 years.
This is Madonna's career. Absolutely amazing.
I love her music but her intelligence always have captivated me as well.
Are you serious? She's not stupid but at best she is in the median IQ range.
check her highschool grades...she was an A+ student. Not that stupid to create a successful career from nothing.
@@soilofk You probably think AOC is smart too.
@@soilofk
You're right
also Madonna's IQ is 140
Same here. Madonna is exceptionally intelligent and equally shrewd and intuitive.
I just read that her new album is expecting to sale as much as 100k this week in the US alone and that it’s breaking a record...crazy how nearly 40 years in the business she still proves she has the staying power among the top pop artists of today...no wonder she’s The Queen of pop! Go Madonna
She grabbed the LGBT crowd because she needed them to sell albums to. She cares about money and being idolized. She played them, that's all. Ultimate manipulation for money. She's gotta pay her taxes.
@@nightowls7324 Yah, most people I know couldn't even name a song she had since the 90s. I remember Frozen. My issue had always been with her, is that instead of focusing on raw talent, she made her entire career over shocking people.....but she's now ran out of things to come up with, other than acting silly on tiktok
Shes jittery, nervous and rather insecure here. Never seen her interview like this before...Her voice quivers, as if she's about to cry.
Lyn B yes, I’m hearing that too
She does come off as rather apprehensive and nervous here
She does speak about her venerability. She said "that is essential." I also think (and I may be projecting here,) aging is not fun, no matter who you are. I read more and more comments about her age, and the work she may have done on her face...I think as we age, we can become more fragile and again, venerable.
@@junegirl9378 she has a patch on her eye...she must feel ridiculous
@Oona Craig holy crap...what? Reading your comment just gave me chills!!! Wish I could interview you, pick your brain of what makes you say that!
Her bravery inspires me.
Tom Jones Stfu Tom.
Madonna is phenomenal. One problem tho. She can't let herself relax and just be. Always controlling, always doubting everyone, criticizing, looking down... There are tons of signs that she's very insecure little girl yet powerful great woman. So weird.
That's the paradox, don't you think? And that's one of the reasons we love her most.
@@mestretemponarrativa9648 madonna's words 😜
I feel she's like that.. Because when she speaks her mind, (like in her early years)... Everything got twisted... Now I feel she takes everything with a pitch of salt because she feels all interviews may end up with bad press... I mean everyone wants to pull her down... She's Madonna!!!
Her Sun sign is Leo (extroverted/confident) & her Moon is in Virgo (introverted/perfectionist) hence the contrast.
That’s what happens when you get instant fame at 18.
Gosh she is so smart, imagine having her for a friend
I bought album today.
It is masterpiece really
Good job M

Anyways, the album is in fact absolute garbage.
LOVE this interview. Madonna being comfortably herself.
Such a sensitive and intelligent interview ❤️
I like how she says "It's not that kind of a record". She made an album that she wanted to make and seems less bothered abut having a huge hit. Good on her.
Joanie C I thought she meant an almond that wasn’t as serious
Yet it was such A HUMONGOUS hit

Wonderful interview Harry Smith ... I have gone down a MADONNA rabbit 🐰 hole the last few days; I realize how much I have missed her ~ 💖
God Madonna is fantastic when she’s asked intelligent questions. Also: “Some of them are more charming, some are more cultured, some listen better” she handing compliments there sir.
Madame X are the best thing madonna have done in years, and i am fearless to say that is one of the best Albuns in her glorious career...
she’s the most pro person i know when it comes to interviews my god
Pedro Marques .....you cant be serious. It was the most nonsensical interview ever. From a woman with an eye patch who says she’s not self absorbed.🤣😂
Hi handsome
@@saltynutsman1 🤣🤣🤣♥️
Great interview. I love the vulnerability she shows here, the butterflies...the caring about what people think of her record. Always so smart too. "God is always there, taunting me, daring me...a God to give thanks to and to question."
JD Kelleher ....utter rubbish
Imagine if the interviewee were a male artist, a businessman, a "visionary", would it be a virtue to be "vulnerable"?
The reason why she's so influential is because she is is a protective, scared, famous, over protective woman... But when she released music or is on stage she is magic... And thats why she is successful... Yes she does have an ego.. But its a crushed ego... She is aware of her success but is also scared it'll go... She's not an ego maniac like people want her to be.. She just a normal woman that speaks her mind and get nervous about it but can do it well!
I wouldn't use the word normal, she is human yes, and feels vulnerable sometimes like we all do, but normal no, she has bought herself creative freedoms that most can only dream about - she is highly self developed.
@@andymac9944 I meant normal... As in relatable.
or maybe its just something to do with her red kabbalah bracelet🤷
Madonna I love you have since 1984. We as fans do care about you and will love you to the end. Madame X is a masterpiece for sure but I think there is a lot more to come from you something entirely different and unique to you and your talent. Loved what you said about God and how you always as why. I can relate. Love you forever. Je t'aime Queen of Pop there will never be another like you
No her influence comes from her devil worship! She is a satanist and uses rictuals in her music... Those listening to her music are participating in these rictuals!
It's amazing to still have something to say, to be able to change after so many years in the show business.
Madonna is unique, brave and original.
This interview could've been three hours long and I'd have watched and enjoyed every single minute too.
Luis Tovar same!
Same lol
She is absolutely amazing. Period.
Tom Jones You need a hobby.
why is that?
Me @51 yrs. : Am honestly one of the conflicted people about how I feel about Madonna ; but in all I believe about her no matter what I feel I must take a bow and love her as I have since the tender age of sixteen. I can not imagine conquering my adolescence and young adulthood without Madonna's music and inspiration for survival. As much as I have not always felt the way she does about peoples life differences and beliefs ; I believe she has not only commanded respect and deserves it but I know she has earned it .
Madonna looks very tired and sad in this interview. People need to start to enjoy her . Michael and prince and Whitney is gone . Madonna is pure artist
ericlabanowski55 Shane she omitted him from her album
I agree, she needs to be celebrated more!
No ones needs to do anything, actually. If people don't enjoy her, then they don't.
Tom Jones and yet here you are
She's been a major superstar for more than 30 years. I think people have been enjoying her work and brilliance for decades.
I’m captivated by her thoughts and the way she speaks but also captivated by her beauty.. love the new album ❤️
Great comment!

Really????! ....
Scott Garbo thank you! Just speaking my mind
Olivia May yes really
People say what a shame it is when a talented woman dies young, then they criticize women who age for getting old. You will never please everyone, so you do you. For the haters: she doesn't need your approval. Who are you anyway? She is an icon.

Lately the educated reporters seem the most joyful and interesting. She seems to check with him for constant validation. “Don’t take your eyes off me.” He was ever so classy. And a perfect interviewer.
I find her too dominant and self absorbed. She’s too protective.
@@Asyma88 not her fault she’s dominant
These two should be talking for hours. And I would be fascinated for hours. The energy and intelligence of these two people is so in balance. ❤️
Of all the things I admire about Madonna the main ones; creativity, courage and persistence. We could all learn to be more of who we really are without fear of other people's judgement.
This is potentially the best interview Madonna has ever given. Because it wasn't an interview! You could easily see, and easily gain from their interaction, that this was a conversation between friends.
Gregory Patrick ...dumbest nonsense I’ve listened to in years. You must be easily fascinated.
Looking gorgeous queen M!
#1 in 60 COUNTRIES on release date must be such a kick in the balls for all those pathetic, ageist, sexist low-'energy' haters.

True and not many people understand that. Haters will just spew whatever bs they have on her for no sensible reasons at all.
This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen with her. Harry's an equal and they can match each other's intellect. It's a lot more exposed than normal (you can tell she's nervous about speaking so frankly) and the content is fascinating.
Wow what an interview! Love this two people together! He is so respectful and intellectual, and she is such a deep and strong human being. Respect!
Gosh her voice is so young. She looks quite vulnerable at the start
I just love this woman, this fighter, this vulnerable and courageous soul so much, I would never in my life have the honor and the pleasure to take the whole time to tell Madonna how much she means to me, how much she saved me, she made me cry, dance, laugh, reflex, complain, ask...

Brilliant interview! Thank you.👏
I’m in love with this album. Amazing!
Madonna fan for ages here. For me, it is the WORST album from her ever. I never thought she should retire until she made this one.
@ I think that from Hard Candy on every album got worse than the last. Hard Candy was the last album of her I bought, and I wasn't very fond of it.
@ There is always good and bad things when artists take different ways to keep creating. I love that she has always been risky and never repeated herself, but in the last years I found her very lazy in her music, not innovative but just making mainstream music like just for paying her bills. I found her last records repetitive, boring and mediocre. And her last move making reggaeton was the last straw for me because I loathe this... music.
Me too.. I went out of my way and bought the tee shirt as well.
@@conatcha So because *you* didn't like it, *she* should retire? Funny how your world works, wouldn't want to live in it though.
That is one electrifying, smart, beautiful, compassionate, woman. I love you, Madonna.
Her sensibilities touch me because each time Madonna dings, speaks, is reflection,she defends her conviction point of view and she is so so tolerance because some people insult her and I don't know a lot of people who can stay quiet in this case. TRUE ARTIST SHE IS SO SO STRONG 💪 INTELLIGENCE and we appreciate with deeply respect her carreer and her personality ❤️ 👏 💖
This album is so good. It’s going to take a spot as one of her best ever 🙌 it needs to be listened to in full, like she said. As a whole piece of art 😎🙌
Royce Christyn completely agree! I didn’t like Crave or I Rise but they sound great when listening to the album as a whole. Such an incredible album.
Fernando Quinones I totally agree! I felt the same about both songs until I heard them in the full context. Even the bonus songs are awesome! Still listening 😍
"Who's Madame X"? How many times are interviewers going to ask this, a simple google search would answer that. It's Madonna for god's sake, I have SO many questions for this woman besides that one.
Lol 😁 Thanks God the interview was much more interesting than that silly question.
@@nacho1533 Yes I watched the full interview, I'm glad the interview took a more interesting turn lol
She keeps getting asked tho because she has made it so prominent in this project- like Dita for Erotica. Plus, these interviewers have to inform their specific audiences- most non Madonna fans aren’t consuming all the stories I get so many people won’t know who madame x is unless it comes into their world
@@mariahwhitneycelinejanetmadona Good point, you are right! 👍
Actually, no. It is a famous play long before Madonna was born and Martha Graham never called Madonna that during her time at the school, nor would Martha say the ridiculous things Madonna stated (about Madonna reminding her of a secret agent, changing her look all the time, etc. ) because Madonna wasn't even changing her looks during that time and Madame X wasn't a spy. Martha was educated enough where she would never have connected that nonsense. Martha wasn't teaching then, (she was in her 80s), and she was in poor health. She wasn't meeting with individual student troublemakers. That is beyond ridiculous that anyone would buy her story. Madonna didn't even meet Martha until after she became famous. In all the years of stories, Madonna never mentioned this supposed nickname until she decided to name her album/character this. Too funny. And Martha isn't around to dispute it. Madonna has always been good at media manipulation, but we older folks know the truth. Looking away, btw, isn't a "tell". Psychopaths, for example, lie all the time without looking away and honest people will look away to collect thoughts. Ms. M is full of it.
I don't know how old madonna is. Seriously. It does not even matter, she looks and sounds amazing!!!
Like he said in the Interview she means so much to me . There are no words I can type that express my love for this amazing women.
I had to loses my Italian mothers to here the words in her songs about how much she misses hers .
Love you Madonna !!!!!!!!
Madonna your fans love you so much. Thank you for everything and please never stop.
🙌🏽
She's so smart and daring that I caugh myself hypnotized the whole interview.
Fool
As a huge fan for more than 35 years, I was initially a bit wary of this new look and direction. But I also realized how unimportant that is in the big picture. How many other superstars manage to remain relevant and interesting and on top of their game for as long as Madonna? Very, very, very few. I’m honored to have been witness to the journey she’s taken me (and the rest of the world) on...and, as always, will follow her wherever she decides to go next.
I feel like I want to give her a hug ❤
Yes she looks wounded and a little pathetic
Madonna we love you thank you for sticking up for those who are different and condemned. Thank you for simply being yourself you are amazing. Youve made a huge impact.
One of Madonna's best interviews. And it is noticeable how well and kindly I say the Interviewer handled the interview. What struck me and made me sad was the part where she wasn't 'sure what she means to people'. Obvious, as much as many love her; way too many hate her. They Just hate her. Maybe caus they can't reach her. So they invent what they pretend to be justification for their hate. Quite pathetic, I Say. Long Live the Queen and the GODDESS! VIVA MADONNA! I am always loving her. True Leader.
I'm pleasantly surprised how much I enjoy the record.
It's never easy with Madonna, she's just usually so abrasive and combatant in conversation - this interview cuts through that and was really interesting to watch.
I bought album today and I became addicted already for wonderful songs.
