John Marlowe this is so true. I've been watching her interviews as far back to the beginning of her career and she has always been sharp as a tack. Sharper indeeded, than most of the interviewers. Particularly when they were trying to humiliate her with "untalented" or questions about her supposed lack of morality. She really deserves her success.
Where was Madge when I was being bullied pretty much my whole life !? Nobody spoke about it when it was happening to me. I am so thankful that stars like Madge and Lady Gaga are speaking about it and raising awareness concerning this issue now. No child should ever have to suffer and be traumatized like I was. No one !!!!!
Madonna is a saviour, for me included. Especially when I was in school when I was going through horrible stuff. Luckily I met her in 2001. And got to tell her Thank-you in person. Truelly the moment I'll treasure forever. She is a Queen👸 ❤❤
Madonna talks so such sense. We pay attention and take notice of people we think are cool and make less effort with people we see as different or beneath us. We're all wonderful human beings who deserve respect and friendship and not hate.
I love how she's grasping the rolled-up papers in her hand; you can really see the anger and emotion she's going through in addressing this issue by how she's gripping those papers. I was waiting for them to be ripped apart or burst into flames ... Madonna is just really a true human being of greatness!
I felt different since I was a child. But luckily I found Madonna's music at the age of 8 and I have looked up to her and listen to her ever since. she has seen me through some bad times and some really really good times too. if you listen to what she believes in and what she stands for then it makes perfect sense. Be yourself and Express Yourself but be kind.
This is why Madonna is the TOP SELLING & TOP TOURING ARTIST in HISTORY!!! She has always stood up for the underdog, whether you're a female, gay, hispanic, black, etc. Madonna was the ORIGINAL badass that stood up for people. And she did it with class. And she didn't need stupid outfits (i.e. a meat dress) to do it. Madonna's message was enough.. And of course the conebras. And she didn't have to try sooo hard to get approval from the gay community (i.e. Lady Gaga). Bravo Madonna.
I know people mean well when they say how articulate Madonna is. She is quite well read and a brilliant musical artist and business woman. I expect her to be well spoken and eloquent. She never disappoints. I know those comments were genuinely meant to be compliments. I don't think people realize how it sounds.
Madonna & Janet have always started the revolution, and stood up for the under-dog. There will always now be people trying to follow in their foot-steps. But Janet and Madonna have done so much.
It's always great to hear good people open up and give their audience the ability to hope and persevere in life about being unique and just be who you deep down desire to be. Especially them two. Thanks
This is so awesome!!! That's why I've always loved Madonna. There is a commandment, one of the ten commandment, that says "Thou shalt not bear false witness against they neighbor (or anybody at all)." That also means to not gossip, lie or say anything untrue about another person whether you like them or not. Character assassination is also in there somewhere so it would be nice to go a day without hearing any negative things said about another person.
I love this. I agree with everything Madonna was saying. I did not know she felt that way in high school. Bullying sucks in any form, at any age. We need to be more caring and respectful. After all every single one of us are human, has feelings, and should be treated with respect no matter what. On another note, damn her kids have gotten big. Times really does fly by to fast. Madonna has beautiful children.
Thank you Madonna. How nice to see her and Ellen share some time for something constructive and empowering without involving a sales pitch or advertising. Madonna and Lady Gaga are fighting prejudice from the same corner. Gay community should be happy that we have these smart intelligent entertainers that are speaking up for our community. it's not where you start but where you are and where you finish. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
I love her but I didn't quite agree with her comment that if one was bullied he's likely to do some bullying. I was bullied throughout school and couldn't imagine putting anyone through it
madonna 1986 open your heart the first gay image on pop vids she has always supported the gay scene & other's this is y she's still going strong respect & hard work she never stops amd fair play to her no matter wat age u are
@purpleteardrops1 Yeah, the irony in nonbreeder's statement is Madonna has been named the biggest gay icon by the advocate, over judy garland, cher, etc. Just google the key words biggest gay icon and the top searches IS Madonna. Mostly young people have no clue what Madonna's LIFE was growing up. her background, mentors, gay night clubs at the age of 16, her closests friends, the downtown NYC scene, how most loyal fans. Madonna's gay alliance has always been personal and AUTHENTIC!
@PiscesAnnie No one said no onel else did it before Madonna. Yes, Elizabeth Taylor did. But Madonna has always had and edgy and interesting vibe while doing so!
@nonbreeder First of all I like BOTH artists, but your comment is off base. Madonna stance with the gays has always been authentic. Its been documented since her beginning back in her teens. Her mentor, etc. As far as Gaga, it seems more like a smart career move. She has no history with gays before her musical career. When Madonna was supporting gays, it wasn't fashionable or even accepted. She had a huge hand in that. Nowadays its encouraged to gather the devotion of the most loyal fanbase.
@Dared2DoIT Madonna has always spoken out and supported her gay fans, and not just her gay fans, but all fans in general. She has been involved in HIV matters since the beginning of her career. Madonna has always supported individuality, and the freedom of expression. I've seen many interviews where she has been asked why she thinks that a large base of her fans are gay. I think she as well as other stars are bringing this more to light b/c of the outbreak of suicides of recent.
Im not used to comment on her videos or presentations. I respect her very much. And I subscribe to her point of view. As she say, also was used to visit Gay Discotheque when I was a youngster. Nothing to feel ashamed for and you need to have friends from different points of view. Our generation was only of "Be yourself".
@lilgrim131 Lets talk facts. The Rolling Stones have the highest grossing tour of all time (2 year tour, Bigger Bang), but they are considered a Band or Group. Madonna is a solo artist, she is the Top SOLO touring artist for both male and female of ALL TIME. These are WORLDWIDE FIGURES. MIchael Jackson's LAST tour and HIGHEST grossing, History (1996-97), is ranked 16th. Madonna has 3 in the top 20 alone, more than any solo artist globally. I suggest you do a little research. You have no clue.
I like Madonna opening up on this topic and talking about her early life and ballet teacher. I haven't heard her talk about this much in the past. I'm so glad that people like her and Lady GaGa and Ellen exist.
Actually, Madge already has a song called "She's Not Me" on her Hard Candy album. It was already there before Gaga came out. She's not making fun of Lady Gaga for being Lady Gaga, but making fun of the song that she copied from hers. I think there's a difference between calling a person "ugly and fat", than a person calling out a person for stealing their music.
It shouldn't be called "sexual preference". Being gay is not a "preference". Being gay is a natural part of someone. "Sexual Orientation" is a more apt description. I know Madonna didn't mean anything negative by saying "preference", but just wanted to make my point. Thanks.
@sulamithwulfing She released a sex book and a album geared towards adults and used sexuality because she can, it is NOT something demonic or evil. Its okay to be sexual and that was her message. Lol
Bullying is a shameful and hateful part of our society. It has been around for a while (I even remember it from my adolescence) and only shows the people's insecurities. We can only fight it by standing up for a victim!! Open your eyes people, and don't be afraid to be a moral, loving human being.
Madonna´s laugh at 0:46: PRICELESS!!! And..let´s face it..If SHE can get lice, EVERYBODY CAN!! That being said, I really, really like her endless support of the LGBT community. You will always be Our Queen!!
Well some ppl focus on what they gonna say and they do things like .. Look up or look down or close their eyes etc ... And Madonna is a genius and all genius are different .. doesn't bother me at all cuz .. I am more interested in hear what she have to say ..
The cousins conversing on a very important and still relevant topic. It all comes down to empathy and the golden rule of treating all other sentient creatures just as you would like to be treated: with kindness and compassion.
@Starkardur What does it matter? It's everyone's own decision if do something to own body. she look gorgeous anyway. I love that she is been with me 27-years (that time I am listened her music) Her music gave me power when I was weak and when I am happy I can dance with her music. Thank you for that Madonna.
at least she tries to have a positive message across the world , even if it's seems like propaganda , she 's just became someone with strong opinions and she tries to speak out and maybe try to change or help ppl
oh god i heard headlights until the 10th time i watched it trying to understand. HEADLICE!!!! And total italianamerican...she totally reminded me of Drea de Matteo
I think Madonna's words were meaninful and everything, but in all honesty, for me; the best part was when she said she had to "get her butt in the studio and make some music" lol!!!!
"Or they've been bullied themselves, because let's face it, If you've been bullied as a child it's gonna come natural for you to bully somebody." ... I was bullied as a young child, but I don't bully anyone.. o.O ..?
@MadonnaColo i agree with you, but i like lady gaga's work too and i think she does great work for tolerance as well. and i think shes serious about the issue as she could have started as a little popsensation like britney did and not tak about political things. would have been an easy way as homosexual and non whites are still underdogs for the major part of society, sadly. anyways, of course madonna is the queen and will be forever at least for the generation who grew up with her. :)
awesome couldn't have said it better! we have no right to judge other people for WHATEVER REASON. how would you like to be put down and harrassed non stop for what makes you you. remember before you open your mouth with something negative about another how would you feel if you were judged negatively for something about you that you have no control over...just something to think about
Love her so much! She is so right she has a big heart i talk to my daughter about bulling has well and i tell her do on to otheres has they do on to you be nice and hopefully they are nice back. Thank you Madonna. 🤗 big fan.
Ill admit sometimes iv been disingenuine to my self and everytime i hear her i hear something that resonates so true with my self that it can sorta redirect my behavior inline with my moral compas.
I love how articulate Madonna is and how she thinks about every word that comes out of her mouth before she says is...she is truly an amazing woman.
alessa1972 yeah she's so eloquent and open-minded
She's a combo of Mother Teresa, Mrs Ghandi and Joan Didion. She deserves a Nobel Prize.
Madonna has always been so far ahead of the times socially, culturally, musically.
Agreed
madonna saved my life in high school
How? I really like Madonna she's so spiritual 😄
Saved mine too!
There just isn't another pop star as articulate as Madonna. There never has been.
John Marlowe this is so true. I've been watching her interviews as far back to the beginning of her career and she has always been sharp as a tack. Sharper indeeded, than most of the interviewers. Particularly when they were trying to humiliate her with "untalented" or questions about her supposed lack of morality. She really deserves her success.
Never will be.
Shakira
As everything gaga try to copy this
@@szymonszymon7311 No.
Not just because it's Madonna, but this is the best discussion I've watched over the subject of bullying. Frank, honest and smart.
She's a great speaker, no matter what the topic is. I love her.
That's so true. I love her too❤
Where was Madge when I was being bullied pretty much my whole life !? Nobody spoke about it when it was happening to me.

Madonna makes alot of points here and now she survived Bullying and now she is on top of her game! Their words mean nothing now!
People beneath you?
I love how she's grasping the rolled-up papers in her hand; you can really see the anger and emotion she's going through in addressing this issue by how she's gripping those papers. I was waiting for them to be ripped apart or burst into flames ... Madonna is just really a true human being of greatness!

I was bullied most of my life now i have depression anxiety and complex ptsd im also transgender thank you Madonna
"I'm editing it and as soon as I'm done I gotta get my butt in the studio and make some more music." That's the best news I've heard in a while!
Madonna truly made me not to judge others. Fact.
This is real Madonna..she spoke so genuinenly about the cause. I respect💞
This is why Madonna is the TOP SELLING & TOP TOURING ARTIST in HISTORY!!! She has always stood up for the underdog, whether you're a female, gay, hispanic, black, etc.

Madona is simply amazing..I love her..I love ellen too.. Air hugs to both of u

"I think it's an instant hit when you're gossiping about somebody, but you feel empty afterward." True!
We need more people like Madonna and Ellen in the world.
Well said Madonna!! You will always be my inspiration and also to you Ellen...Your both amazing!! Much Love to you both❤
She change the world.
Incredible woman.
Thank you Madonna.

Thank you Madonna and Ellen. Madonna has grown into such a beautiful elegant woman.
What an amazing and Powerful interview! I can't believe I missed this one! Inspiring and a true leader ❤️❤️❤️
I love her but I didn't quite agree with her comment that if one was bullied he's likely to do some bullying. I was bullied throughout school and couldn't imagine putting anyone through it

Ellen and Madonna are like sisters
They are 11th cousins.
LIVING LEGEND!!

Madonna allways says the right thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Stop bulling
I like Madonna opening up on this topic and talking about her early life and ballet teacher. I haven't heard her talk about this much in the past.
I'm so glad that people like her and Lady GaGa and Ellen exist.
We can only change our own BEHAVIOUR.......a fine line between having an opinion ...and judging ... responding and bullying.....etc ..
Actually, Madge already has a song called "She's Not Me" on her Hard Candy album. It was already there before Gaga came out. She's not making fun of Lady Gaga for being Lady Gaga, but making fun of the song that she copied from hers.

The Queen has spoken. I would love to see Marilyn Manson's view on the subject
Madonna was good on the topic!!
@sulamithwulfing She released a sex book and a album geared towards adults and used sexuality because she can, it is NOT something demonic or evil. Its okay to be sexual and that was her message. Lol
No hay nadie como Madonna, sencillamente es extraordinaria!!
Dear mom and dad-
...if only I was strong enough to share this with you...
I would thank you for my strength
Love, sara
Madonna and Ellen are awesome and brave by getting involved on this. Love them to death.
MADONNA BEAUTIFUL I LOVE MADONNA ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

It's no wonder she is the TOP SELLING FEMALE & TOP TOURING SOLO ARTIST!!
this was absolutely amazing she's so beautiful and a great role model.
