      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.

( 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!!

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...

    '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.'

    He estado escuchando su álbum Madame X, es excelente. La entrevista estuvo muy buena también. Cuando Ella respondía a las preguntas, me imaginaba que fascinante sería conocer a esta artista que ha sido inspiración para muchos. La verdad es fascinante y alucinante escucharla hablar. Sus 6 hijos son muy afortunados de tener a una mamá como Ella. Y sus amantes también lo son. Madonna no para, esta mujer estará creando música por mucho tiempo.

    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!

    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 ❤️ 👏 💖
