Regardless of whether you like her personality/music or not, you can tell from this interview that she has lived life and love. She has seen marriages, divorces, babies, parents dying and rich and poor. I'm sure she knows the record business better than most people and has witnessed it, just in the way music has been distributed over the decades. Whether it's vinyl, cassette, CDs, downloads or streaming. She's been through it all. On top of that, she's survived not only the music business, but literally some of her peers from her era, whether it's Michael, Prince, Whitney or George Michael. That shows she must have done something right.
No, I never liked her overly commercialised basking in pop culture celebrity image nor her at times slutty behaviour. But we're talking 30 years ago more or less. However although her music is basically just throw away pop music, she was definitely one of the best at what she did and had an enduring career spanning 2 decades at or near the top which is unusual for that here today gone tomorrow narcissistic world where you're essentially over the hill at 35.
You obviously have not listened to a lot of her music then. Yes, she does have some songs like that, especially at the beginning of her career, but she has many, many, many songs that are not that.
@@terrystorey I'm not questioning her talent, I just have never liked mainstream pop culture very much where artists on MTV for example get paid to shake their asses and look cute.

Not really. All celebrities have the advantage of media creating or perpetuating a persona/myth. That usually has little to do with the person in question but can be used to their advantage. Self made to me means without the benefit of media machine.
@@0scJohnson0 what you’re saying is valid, but it’s important to put things in context. The media is part of her profession. It’s not like she’s an accountant that used the media or something outrageous. As a matter of fact, the fact that she was able to control a major aspect of her image, and took control of her narrative in the media is a master class of her sheer power and “Blonde Ambition.” Her story is remarkable.
@@Jon-tt9bfcompared to what? Or compared to who? She’s at the top of her profession. You should have started by saying you don’t like her music which is fair. But you can’t take away her accomplishments, or her ground breaking career.
This is the longest interview I’ve ever seen Madonna give to anyone. I love how grounded and humble she is. She can handle any question thrown at her and reduce the drama we all thought about her to very logical and organic choices she made.
its a great interview, but shes not really "relaxed" here, but Stern approached this interview very very very well, hes was incredibly respectful and im sure Madonna walked into it knowing his history and "vulgar" innapropriate questioning methods, but most likely surprised her as his questions as they were not stupid. They were more introspective all while praising her and continuously plugging in her latest album. It was very well done.
Yea the only thing I found hard to like about Madonna was she always seemed so untouchable unrelatable at arms length maybe even snobby but this interview shows a whole diff side to her and that she is capable of those things
I just watched "Truth or Dare" with my 24 year old daughter and now she gets it. Madonna was ahead of her time- fighting for equal rights and freedom of speech via her art. ❤😊
I actually like Madonna for the first time in thirty years. Howard has a way of pulling the human side out of his guests. This interview is a masterpiece.
Mr Stern - this was simply one of the best Interviews. Thank you for bringing us so intimately close to our incomparable Icon. Madonna was My idol as a Teen and still s today and keeps inspiring me to live my best Life today. You showed us the way Madonna Louise Ciconne and we wish you all happiness in the world ! You are a modern day Joan of Arc . Fearless & Brave 👏👏👏👏👏👏 You do not know how much you meant to so many young women in those years and still today ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is a great interview! I saw a side to Madonna I hadn't seen before. She seemed vulnerable and down to earth. I especially liked the conversation that begins at 40:04 about Jean-Michel Basquiat. I always found her relationship with him so fascinating. He was an enigma, so talented yet troubled. I believe out of all of the men Madonna dated he was the most compatible because she is an artist at heart. She still talks about him with love. I was looking forward to her biopic but it's been shelved. I hope she can get it into production after her tour is over. She has lived so many lives and her story deserves to be on the big screen.
Wow, this is the best interview by her I have ever heard! No nonsense. No kidding around. No sexy conversation. Howard was the best I have ever heard! Honest, strait forward, sad, extremely honest. Wanting to perform, create, be an artist and be a mom.
It’s interesting how when she’s relaxed and has time to convey her thoughts and explain where she’s coming from, she comes off as thoughtful, down to earth, and very intelligent and you can see how she was able to carve out such a huge career. I don’t know what’s going on with her now (and no one else commenting here does either) but hopefully she can work through it and can come back down to earth or something.
@@SkyePhoenix I don’t think it’s about people being “shocked.” I think people are rolling their eyes and perhaps wondering what mental illness she’s dealing with.
I would just like to say to all those that say they didn't know this Madonna, a lot of her true fans have seen this Madonna. She had done a lot of amazing interviews throughout her career where she was very open, down to earth, intelligent and fun. This is the Madonna we have always known and loved. Js🤷🏻♀️
I’ve always admired her beauty and phenomenal creativity. She became an icon because she was fearless and believed in herself. She caused a great deal of thoughtful and heated conversations among my circle of friends, and one male friend actually asked me how I could be so intelligent and love Madonna. It’s because she caused a lot of fun while doing so many admirable, albeit controversial deeds. She is one of a kind, and will always be one of my favorite artists.
49:15 I think the answer is most definitely David Fincher. I think she really loved him. Her diary entry from Feb 22, 1996 is quite telling: “Last night I dreamed that I was pursuing a director I was once in love with and he invited me into his home to tell me that he couldn’t be with me. I sat at his kitchen table on the verge of tears. Then he said to me, ‘You once described a man’s body as powerful. What is your definition of power now?’ and I replied, ‘Power is being told you are not loved and not being destroyed by it.’”
Nice work? He is a total creep. Horrible man. The Worst interviewer ever. She is totally the most professional in the face of the most creepy horrid man ever to ask questions. Truly
Shes so calm collected and so down to earth wow. Howard really knows how to interview hes amazing. I feel like she enjoyed this interview cuz Howard was asking her about her work rather than the usual dumb questions. I have seen her get really bothered by questions others would ask. This interview is amazing.
i been listening and watching her from the very begining ,i love Madonna ,and Howard been really kind here .lots of respect !! amazing artist !! very humble ...good interview ....
As someone else said, this is one of Madonna's best interviews. She was very down to earth, answered questions, mature, no sarcasm, not trying to be shocking, honest, and just chilled out. I hope I see more of this Madonna. ❤❤ I am so happy she is well and touring. ❤
I have come to respect Madonna for so many reasons- she's become a better artist over time because she never stopped working on her craft and taking chances . That's one of the reasons she's great. But she does seem like a truly generous and kind person as well. We owe her a lot as women! ❤
I was very fortunate to see MADONNA in concert in Vegas during her “MUSIC” tour, in LA during her “Rebel Heart” tour, and will see her in a month in Berlin to celebrate 40 years as the top selling musical artist of all time.
Easily the most vulnerable, real, earthy I have ever seen Madonna. Ever since Truth or Dare, I’ve always felt that I was watching Madonna being Madonna..guard up, fully aware of the camera. This is as real as I’ve ever seen her
This is an awesome Madonna interview, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know and understanding what motivates Madonna - the human being. Thank you Madonna, Howard and Robin! ❤
@@michellelekas211 Moments of warmth but also guarded. She wasn’t kidding when she said she thought Howard didn’t like her and that’s why she never did his show before. Back in the 90s on his radio show he could be quite obnoxious and cruel talking about celebrities, particularly women and he liked to pick on her. She had good reason to come into this interview with some armor up.
Really loved and enjoyed this interview and the way Madonna presented herself. What a great woman, and she looked fantastic! Wish she would still be this grounded today.
It was one of the best Madonna interviews I've ever heard. Fast forward to 2023 & Lady M is on tour. Still doing what Madonna does best, out there giving joy. I'm a million miles from her life, yet the 10 year little girl is still enjoying her creativity at 50. Thank you, Madonna, ⭐️🎶⭐️🎶❤
This I feel is the real Madonna. I absolutely loved this interview and it reminded me that I still DO love Madonna. I just wish she would show this side of herself more often. She is so likeable and so good and entertaining just being herself.
Love this interview, one of Madonna’s best. Howard is so engaging and his approach is so fluid, with great questions just flowing off each other. Madonna seems to respond so positively and naturally to this. Brilliant.
Yea, but he doesn't shut up. He asks a question, then cuts her off and doesn't let her finish the answer. I do love how comfortable and open she is in this interview though. As far as an interview goes, it is one of her best.
@@terrystorey Yes, you’re right. He does do that a lot. Maybe it’s the element of surprise so his guests are kinda caught off guard and answer more instinctively. They don’t have time to think about what’s been asked as they’re still answering the previous question
God, she's gracious, articulate, warm, and intelligent here. Not pretentious or cold like she is in some other videos. Such a rare interview. I hope she gets back to whatever place this is. It really suits her.
Madonna is a fascinating intelligent woman and quite underappreciated. I think she gets more shit than she deserves, she has paved many ways for a lot of people.
I live in the city right next to Rochester in Michigan. I remember when this came out how upset the mayor of Rochester Michigan got and all I could do it laugh. Madonna is an icon and created a brand all of her own. I am just happy to know I live and go to many places that Madonna started her life in. This was the best interview I have seen of her. I love it. Thank you for posting. 💙
This is the reason why we love her. She's fun she's smart she's thoughtful. She's not doing things for purely attention. She's not a superficial Lady who would do anything to get the media talk about her. Unlike some lady whose dumb name shall remain nameless. Madonna is like a true Mother figure. After my mom, she really is the person i look up to the most. She's brave, hard worker, intelligent, humble, creative etc. She deserved the titre icon and Mother of pop. She's so interesting to listen to. She's an exemple.
The same words you used to describe her are also absolutely applicable to Stefani- Gaga’s real name. She’s an incredibly talented human being who uses a monicker to make art - as so many of the greats do. Tony Bennett had no problem doing gorgeous albums and tours with her. Bradley Cooper certainly didn’t regret hiring her for “A Star Is Born”, for which she became the first woman to win an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Golden Globe Award, and Grammy Award in one year. You think you’re praising Madonna, but you’re actually insulting her by disgustingly tearing down an equally prolific, hard-working and talented woman. They had a petty brush up 13 years ago thanks to Madonna’s ego, but she is now, and has been for long while, a fierce supporter of Gaga, and would be pissed to see this comment. Like she said when she was congratulating her on her Oscar win & taking photos with her, “don’t mess with Italian girls.” And if we’re being real - Gaga is a great musical artist, AND a great actress, hence the Oscar. Madonna tried her hand at films, and was sometimes decent, but where she really shined was her music videos. And those videos inspired generations of musicians, including Gaga. They’re BOTH superstars. They’ve BOTH had massive, epic careers. You don’t actually seem to know much about either of them. Madonna actually notoriously hasn’t been super nice to many people over the years (including Gaga at one point, over a decade ago, and fans at points in her career) & people often brushed it off as her being a diva, but Gaga has managed to get to equal levels of fame and still be incredibly kind, gracious, and ALWAYS grateful. That’s their main difference, honestly. The ego. She isn’t nearly as humble as you apparently think she is…and that makes me question how much you actually know about her.😂 She also started out & peaked at a different time in society…but ultimately doesn’t change the behavior. But she’s Madonna, right? It appears you need to do your homework on BOTH of these powerhouses. There’s no need to tear another woman’s incredible career and unending hard work in order to praise another woman who has worked just as hard - just for longer. Gaga’s shows are so physical that she’s done permanent damage to her little body and is in constant pain, but still continues to put on epic performances. Trying to slight her and make absurd comments, like she’s only famous because she does things for attention is absolutely laughable. Seems the last time you actually kept up on Gaga’s career was 2009. Hilarious. Try again. Pitting strong women against each other is so gross. They’ve both been amazing advocates for the LGBTQ community, since the beginning of their careers, and have helped make ALL people feel empowered to just be themselves, and embrace their differences, and each other. This was an embarrassing comment from you, and a slight to her legacy. She would hate this.
@@lonetardigrade 😂😂😂🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤮 The OP literally ignored any and every questionable thing that Madonna has done over the course of her career, and completely bashed another female performer for absolutely no reason because they’re OBSESSED with her, but when I point out that she’s flawed like everyone else, and say we don’t have to put another female performer down just to say Madonna is great, when both of these women have amazing careers… But I HAVE celebrity worship!? Hilarious. And delusional. Why are you watching this video?? I happen to love music, that’s why. You’re watching this entire interview, you love Madonna. Therefore, according to yourself, you must also worship celebrities.🙄 Ffs.
Imagine, this was 8 years ago, she's in her late 50's she looks beautiful, phenomenal. It's too bad what she's now done to her face. Before IG too. She's such an icon. 💖
She'd already had quite a bit of work done at the time of this video (fillers, a facelift, botox, an eye job and lip injections). It was just good work. The problem is she couldn't or wouldn't stop.
@@hutch1197 honestly, I really don't see that. Maybe Botox but I don't see filler bc her face looks slender here. Plus she has crows feet around her eyes but she looks beautiful she looks like herself. Maybe COVID pushed her farther.....🤔
There’s little threads in Madonna’s interviews all her life about her creativity that web into her work. Like it or not she’s always gonna be an artist.
THANK YOU so much for posting this. I've looked and waited for this entire interview for years. Finally it's here. At the time of this interview M had no idea of the Covid epidemic we were all about to go through. Ahead of her time and this interview with howard though uncomfortable in parts for her is so honest and true of her as an artist.
I really like this interview with her. She comes across so much more humble and human in this. I think she likes to portray herself as a tough, no nonsense person, which she is, but I love her honesty and shows she can be vulnerable.
Howard GREAT INTERVIEW!!!!! Madonna i followed your "in the public career" from the start and NEVER KNEW YOU LIKE THIS INTERVIEW YOU DID HERE !!!!! Thank you for doing interview.😇
It’s a shame that there are people out there that hate on others that choose to be innovative, artistic and trail blazing. Artist like Madonna should be heralded for being all that and her longevity is a testament to her that she still is loved and relevant.
its still crazy how she elevated herself to almost enigma status.. where u dont feel like your talking to a person, but some sort of goddess alien or something... has lived a very wild and interesting life.. and never stopped making good music.. even after she kind of was out of the spotlight for awhile...
the amount of resilience and strength this Woman has too have to have survived so long, and still create her Art without fear or favour is inspirational. even in 2023 in these comments folk are still saying things like " she still looked so good back then"....the sh^t never stops coming for Madonna and she rolls along doing her thing. 👏👏👏
I listened to this interview in audio format, but seeing it on video has a whole other flavor, even more beautiful. Madonna is a wonderful, wise, loving person who has had an extraordinary life. It’s beautiful to hear her talk about her life, full of anecdotes. Madonna loved, suffered and lived life to the full. She has done so much for the homosexual world, for freedom, to be proud of what one is, for equality and she has always sided with the last. The world, without Madonna would be a worse world. Love you M!
Just found this gem August ‘23 and I’m freaked out a bit about Irene Cara but I truly believe this is one of the most honest interviews /conversations I’ve ever heard with M !❤
Wow! What a great interview. This is the first interview I’ve seen where she is not overly defensive and off-putting. Just a real person. Much more likable and interesting
Regardless of whether you like her personality/music or not, you can tell from this interview that she has lived life and love. She has seen marriages, divorces, babies, parents dying and rich and poor. I'm sure she knows the record business better than most people and has witnessed it, just in the way music has been distributed over the decades. Whether it's vinyl, cassette, CDs, downloads or streaming. She's been through it all. On top of that, she's survived not only the music business, but literally some of her peers from her era, whether it's Michael, Prince, Whitney or George Michael. That shows she must have done something right.
She's the genius of music industry. She's the music industry.
No, I never liked her overly commercialised basking in pop culture celebrity image nor her at times slutty behaviour. But we're talking 30 years ago more or less. However although her music is basically just throw away pop music, she was definitely one of the best at what she did and had an enduring career spanning 2 decades at or near the top which is unusual for that here today gone tomorrow narcissistic world where you're essentially over the hill at 35.
So has every person her age alive today.
You obviously have not listened to a lot of her music then. Yes, she does have some songs like that, especially at the beginning of her career, but she has many, many, many songs that are not that.
@@terrystorey I'm not questioning her talent, I just have never liked mainstream pop culture very much where artists on MTV for example get paid to shake their asses and look cute. There's not much substance there usually, especially nowadays. That's why Zepp appealed to so many. They in particular were the antecedent of all of that
I think this is the best interview she's ever given. She's so human here.
*Howard´s been through `some kind of hell´ as wEll*
She really is such a fascinating person. Self made, the most iconic female pop star of all time, she’s incredible. We’re lucky to still have her.

🙄😒 Howard?
Seriously, he keeps interrogating her & then interrupting her answers. Please, take the Adderall, Howard.
he's the worst constantly interrupting her! He needs to grow up.
He's not, he never lets the guest speak or finish a thought.
I absolutely love love love this interview with Madonna. She is so relatable, transparent and down to earth here.
Yes! I like Her, too and I like this interview with Her!
Yea the only thing I found hard to like about Madonna was she always seemed so untouchable unrelatable at arms length maybe even snobby but this interview shows a whole diff side to her and that she is capable of those things
There is no one like Madonna. No one. This interview is a true testament to the artist that she is. The blue print of a magnificent career.
Just a shit pop dance singer that screwed everyone with a heartbeat.

I can't believe this was not even 8 years ago...?! She still looked so good back then.
Me either..wow 8 years!! That’s a lot
Exactly what I was thinking. Think she tried to fight aging badly with surgery. Shame. She should have just aged gracefully and taken some wrinkles
Woman age quickly in their sixties...she had not reached that stage here..she was not in her early fifties here
@jimmygillard stop hating on women for what they choose to do with aging.
Some ppl think she was replaced right around this era
Most authentic Madonna interview I have seen. Nice work Howard.

I enjoyed every second of this video. I was a child of the 70s and 80s and was fan of Madonna for decades. She is a true celebrity. Love her!
She is an amazing human, so full of life, deep, smart, fascinating, ambitious...
I think this is the interview in which I have seen her to be the most authentic and vulnerable.
Finally the video interview is available in its entirety on UA-cam. THANK YOU

Well Robin does interrupt all the time. 👍
@@sheteg1So does Howard. It's obnoxious.
Her best interview. Wish she would do something like this again
Love this interview, one of Madonna’s best. Howard is so engaging and his approach is so fluid, with great questions just flowing off each other. Madonna seems to respond so positively and naturally to this. Brilliant.
Yea, but he doesn't shut up. He asks a question, then cuts her off and doesn't let her finish the answer. I do love how comfortable and open she is in this interview though. As far as an interview goes, it is one of her best.
@@terrystorey Yes, you’re right. He does do that a lot. Maybe it’s the element of surprise so his guests are kinda caught off guard and answer more instinctively. They don’t have time to think about what’s been asked as they’re still answering the previous question
@@bounded maybe 🤔
God, she's gracious, articulate, warm, and intelligent here. Not pretentious or cold like she is in some other videos. Such a rare interview. I hope she gets back to whatever place this is. It really suits her.
i love madonna's personality, she has certain personality traits that i'd love to have
Madonna is a fascinating intelligent woman and quite underappreciated. I think she gets more shit than she deserves, she has paved many ways for a lot of people.
I live in the city right next to Rochester in Michigan. I remember when this came out how upset the mayor of Rochester Michigan got and all I could do it laugh. Madonna is an icon and created a brand all of her own. I am just happy to know I live and go to many places that Madonna started her life in. This was the best interview I have seen of her. I love it. Thank you for posting. 💙
Never seen this before, except some snippts here and there, so far my 2nd favorite interview ❤
This is the reason why we love her. She's fun she's smart she's thoughtful. She's not doing things for purely attention. She's not a superficial Lady who would do anything to get the media talk about her. Unlike some lady whose dumb name shall remain nameless. Madonna is like a true Mother figure. After my mom, she really is the person i look up to the most. She's brave, hard worker, intelligent, humble, creative etc. She deserved the titre icon and Mother of pop. She's so interesting to listen to. She's an exemple.
The same words you used to describe her are also absolutely applicable to Stefani- Gaga’s real name. She’s an incredibly talented human being who uses a monicker to make art - as so many of the greats do. Tony Bennett had no problem doing gorgeous albums and tours with her. Bradley Cooper certainly didn’t regret hiring her for “A Star Is Born”, for which she became the first woman to win an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Golden Globe Award, and Grammy Award in one year.
You think you’re praising Madonna, but you’re actually insulting her by disgustingly tearing down an equally prolific, hard-working and talented woman. They had a petty brush up 13 years ago thanks to Madonna’s ego, but she is now, and has been for long while, a fierce supporter of Gaga, and would be pissed to see this comment.
Like she said when she was congratulating her on her Oscar win & taking photos with her, “don’t mess with Italian girls.”
And if we’re being real - Gaga is a great musical artist, AND a great actress, hence the Oscar. Madonna tried her hand at films, and was sometimes decent, but where she really shined was her music videos. And those videos inspired generations of musicians, including Gaga.
They’re BOTH superstars. They’ve BOTH had massive, epic careers.
You don’t actually seem to know much about either of them. Madonna actually notoriously hasn’t been super nice to many people over the years (including Gaga at one point, over a decade ago, and fans at points in her career) & people often brushed it off as her being a diva, but Gaga has managed to get to equal levels of fame and still be incredibly kind, gracious, and ALWAYS grateful. That’s their main difference, honestly. The ego. She isn’t nearly as humble as you apparently think she is…and that makes me question how much you actually know about her.😂 She also started out & peaked at a different time in society…but ultimately doesn’t change the behavior. But she’s Madonna, right?
It appears you need to do your homework on BOTH of these powerhouses.
There’s no need to tear another woman’s incredible career and unending hard work in order to praise another woman who has worked just as hard - just for longer. Gaga’s shows are so physical that she’s done permanent damage to her little body and is in constant pain, but still continues to put on epic performances. Trying to slight her and make absurd comments, like she’s only famous because she does things for attention is absolutely laughable.
Seems the last time you actually kept up on Gaga’s career was 2009. Hilarious. Try again.
Pitting strong women against each other is so gross.
They’ve both been amazing advocates for the LGBTQ community, since the beginning of their careers, and have helped make ALL people feel empowered to just be themselves, and embrace their differences, and each other.
This was an embarrassing comment from you, and a slight to her legacy. She would hate this.
@@Free420Love Gaga is a fake and a ‘reductive’ phony-sry bout it…she marketed herself to the Lgbtq community for $$$ it’s deplorable
@@Free420Love Celebrity Worship did a number on you 🤡
@@lonetardigrade 😂😂😂🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤮
The OP literally ignored any and every questionable thing that Madonna has done over the course of her career, and completely bashed another female performer for absolutely no reason because they’re OBSESSED with her, but when I point out that she’s flawed like everyone else, and say we don’t have to put another female performer down just to say Madonna is great, when both of these women have amazing careers…
But I HAVE celebrity worship!?
Hilarious. And delusional.
Why are you watching this video?? I happen to love music, that’s why.
You’re watching this entire interview, you love Madonna.
Therefore, according to yourself, you must also worship celebrities.🙄 Ffs.
Madonna, You are a beautiful human. Thank you for giving to charity and adoption. ❤
Now her album Sales worldwide stand at 400 million ❤
Great Interview... Madonna will always be my hero
I am not just saying it but this is the best interview I've seen with her. And this is coming from someone who has been following her since 1985
Imagine, this was 8 years ago, she's in her late 50's she looks beautiful, phenomenal. It's too bad what she's now done to her face. Before IG too. She's such an icon. 💖
Madonna runed her looks she use to be drop dead gorgeous
it wasn't before IG...lol...it's 2015....she was definitely on IG
She'd already had quite a bit of work done at the time of this video (fillers, a facelift, botox, an eye job and lip injections). It was just good work. The problem is she couldn't or wouldn't stop.
@@mlvc82 I meant before all the weird unhinged behavior. 🤦
@@hutch1197 honestly, I really don't see that. Maybe Botox but I don't see filler bc her face looks slender here. Plus she has crows feet around her eyes but she looks beautiful she looks like herself. Maybe COVID pushed her farther.....🤔
There’s little threads in Madonna’s interviews all her life about her creativity that web into her work. Like it or not she’s always gonna be an artist.
One of the best interviews I have ever seen
Madonna has always been amazing and now is a living legend!
Madonna went through alot. Became this Icon in the music industry . I think she is a Wonderful person and Business woman. Loving mother ❤
THANK YOU so much for posting this. I've looked and waited for this entire interview for years. Finally it's here. At the time of this interview M had no idea of the Covid epidemic we were all about to go through. Ahead of her time and this interview with howard though uncomfortable in parts for her is so honest and true of her as an artist.
❤❤❤
This is such a fantastic interview! Madonna is so open and self critical,
Best Madonna interview ever!
I agree! Howard is one of the best interviewers in the business. He has evolved...and Madonna is just amazing.
I really like this interview with her. She comes across so much more humble and human in this. I think she likes to portray herself as a tough, no nonsense person, which she is, but I love her honesty and shows she can be vulnerable.
She's so comfortable in this interview!! Remember to stream REBEL HEART 💜
So beautiful ! Such a good story ! Love her
Howard GREAT INTERVIEW!!!!! Madonna i followed your "in the public career" from the start and NEVER KNEW YOU LIKE THIS INTERVIEW YOU DID HERE !!!!! Thank you for doing interview.😇
This is the Madonna I love!! I surprised how soft spoken Madonna is! It’s refreshing!
It’s a shame that there are people out there that hate on others that choose to be innovative, artistic and trail blazing. Artist like Madonna should be heralded for being all that and her longevity is a testament to her that she still is loved and relevant.
She looks great. I’m not a fan but i do think she has a beautiful voice and i like some of her songs. Like her or not, she is a definite diva
that's enough of a fan to me
This was in early 2015 lol I’m not saying she doesn’t look great now but this was a while back
Saw her in person 2 weeks ago at her concert in berlin and she looks great. These pics on social media do her so much injustice
@@brianblanco254she doesn’t look great now you can say it 😂
Madonna THE human being
One of my favorite looks. Arm goals for days!💪💪💪💪💪
She still has midwestern values in many ways- especially the charity. 💟
I love Howard (and Robyn’s) interview style so much. This is the possibly the very best Madonna interview of all time
Kudos for keeping her professional composure, whilst being asked a few ridiculous questions. ❤
What an amazing interview, I wish I had seen it when it aired in 2015!
I like this Madonna. And I have to say Howard did a really good interview and asked good questions.
its still crazy how she elevated herself to almost enigma status.. where u dont feel like your talking to a person, but some sort of goddess alien or something... has lived a very wild and interesting life.. and never stopped making good music.. even after she kind of was out of the spotlight for awhile...
This is a proper interview, this is how you do it. Fantastic 👏
the amount of resilience and strength this Woman has too have to have survived so long, and still create her Art without fear or favour is inspirational. even in 2023 in these comments folk are still saying things like " she still looked so good back then"....the sh^t never stops coming for Madonna and she rolls along doing her thing. 👏👏👏
like yea....look at those arms with NO CREPE!!!!
She doesn't deserve this bullying.
I listened to this interview in audio format, but seeing it on video has a whole other flavor, even more beautiful. Madonna is a wonderful, wise, loving person who has had an extraordinary life. It’s beautiful to hear her talk about her life, full of anecdotes. Madonna loved, suffered and lived life to the full. She has done so much for the homosexual world, for freedom, to be proud of what one is, for equality and she has always sided with the last. The world, without Madonna would be a worse world. Love you M!
One of the best Interviews to Madonna.
🤔 Always interesting to listen to Madonna in an interview!‼️
Thank you for this video, and for all it took to produce it
Just found this gem August ‘23 and I’m freaked out a bit about Irene Cara but I truly believe this is one of the most honest interviews /conversations I’ve ever heard with M !❤
Can you remember at what point Irene Cara is mentioned?
@@joelharlow3350between 48 and 49 minute mark
Thank You for putting this up!
Wow! What a great interview. This is the first interview I’ve seen where she is not overly defensive and off-putting. Just a real person. Much more likable and interesting
I luv Howard for this amazing respectful well thought out lovely truthful interview. And LUV Madonna always and forever
I LOVE QUEEN MADONNA SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!
Omg I love you for finding this!!!!
