The reason Madonna turned out to be the biggest name in the music industry is because she stayed TRUE TO HERSELF. She doesn’t CARE what negative criticism she receives from the press or fans. She lived her life and did only what ever made her happy. And is very intelligent and SMART when it comes to THE MONEY.

She is a very intelligent lady.

He constantly cuts her off in a question when she is answering perfectly well, but I love how Madonna always just lets him cut her off and just carries on with the next question. I wish I could be like that.

just remember shes outsold every other female and gave birth to any pop act post 1982. That gets me through my day, every day

This is one of the most mature, classy, intelligent interviews she has done. I wish she could be in this head space the majority of time.

She was 45 or 44 here. People already called her "old". She looks fantastic, classy, mature. I miss this Madonna. 2022 Madonna is just so vacuous.

I lost my mom when I was six. Madonna and her music helped me get through as I grew up. I look up to her because she was that motherly figure I never had.

It's a shame when anyone's parent dies, but I do believe that it's because of that, that Madonna went onto achieve everything she has today. She's said several times over that she'd probably be quite different if her mother had lived. Madonna has a steel exterior which has taken her so far, but you can see that she also has pain and a longing for love and, again, I think that comes from the death of her mother.

She looks terrific here, and also she gives really great answers to someone who is really not a great interviewer... She is a very very smart woman.

I've watched a few madonna interviews over the last few days. I have grown to respect her tremendously. I know business very well and I do not respect celebrities because they capitalize on perpetuating the disempowerment of the masses, but this is a woman who IS NOT PERFECT, but has sincerely done more to improve the world than most and though she's played by the rules of the business, she's used her position to truly change the world and though I would have made different choices, overall I find myself somewhat impressed by her.

I hate when interviewers talk more than their guests.

If he would just let her talk... Damn. He asks a question and before she can even finish giving her full answer, HE ASKS ANOTHER! So annoying and rude.

This is one of the best Madonna interviews I've seen!

I can't imagine how it would had been not growing up dancing, reading hearing and watching Madonna.. Thank you Madonna for being in my life. I'm looking forward to hearing and watching more Madonna.

The only thing this woman is , is WONDERFUL

A great business woman.

She was so relatable and likable for a few years during this period. She never really has been interested in approval, as she says here, but it's frustrating to admire Madonna's career and to so often find her off putting or aloof or humorless. The woman in conversation here seems so grounded and self-reflective, totally different than the Madonna of today and early in her career, who seems to be all about 'causing a commotion.'

she looks beautiful, like all ways

watching this with tears in my eyes in 2022 sigh...... what happened girl..

She sounds really intelligent. Beautiful. Wise.

She looked so classy and comfortable here.

She was very natural and grounded back then. Wasn’t it the time when she was married to Guy Ritchie? Still loved her when she did the Super Bowl Halftime Show. But from Eurovision Song Contest to today… oh, boy… 😢

I love that. "It's Important to see the end in the beginning." Quote by Madonna. I just totally totally love this chick. I love her now and from the moment I met her and every moment in between.

omg i didn't know madonna was from Detroit!!! Yet another MAJOR STAR that came out of my great city!

She looked incredible in that interview. She's also very dignified and intelligent, but she was a cheerleader in high school and you need to have a 4.0 grade point average to do that.

Not that I'm a fan of Guy Ritchie, because I thought that BMW ad was humiliating, and it seems he treated her poorly during "Swept away", but she seemed happier than ever when she was married to him. She was calm, balanced and classy. She looked incredibly good and her wardrobe was a lot better. He seemed to have a good influence on her.

Great interview. She's beautiful, talented and one sharp cookie. I don't believe for a minute though that marketing "Madonna" as one name was by accident, or simply the result of Madonna Ciccone; it was VERY intentional.

She puts on a amazing concert. Madonna and Janet Jackson are the Best Live Entertainers ever. Both so Gorgeous & Unbelievably Talented

She really looks stunning here. She should look like this more often rather than trying to be 20.

Great interview, I like seeing Madonna as open and as comfortable as she is here.

Madonna looks well.

Madonna's beauty is so hard to beat. I always found her otherworldly.

Aaah such a lovely interview, I love you Madonna!

Madonna is my Queen and I'm going to see her live in December! I still cannot believe I'm going to be in the same room as the worlds most famous Star!!

Wow, it's crazy to see her here. She's an entirely different personality to her 2022 personality.

Madonna looks so good here. Like a real woman. So well spoken and sweet too.

Damn good interview. I like the color of her suit outfit and the space in between her front teeth is lovely.

This woman has a lot of sense and wisdom.

1:20 that pic of her father is from the Arsenio Hall show. The 1 where Madonna and Rosey O'Donnell were on together

Wish this interview was longer. She looks really beautiful here. I like the fact that she's not doing her typical "maniacal blinking" thing and is actually and surprisingly maintaining eye contact with Larry in this interview! :)

She's a VERY eccentric unusual mysterious lady BUT who likes Normal? Certainly not me. NORMAL SCARES ME. Madonna is artistic, wacky, unforgiving, stubborn, controversial, hardworking (and hard-work!), a true musical Diva, BUT she is also incredibly gifted & devoted to her art. Love or Hate her - she is one in a million and has made her mark in this mysterious universe. The world will NEVER forget Madonna.

I love how real she is

This Lady is so smart and beautiful love all her work thru this decades wow AMAZING!

Awesome interview! Very smooth - lovable - and real!

What a great interview!

I miss this Madonna without any plastic surgery

Is that the entire interview seems pretty short thanks for uploading

I love it when She says Her own name ♥

Madonna looks pretty here.

I really hope to see her live this year.

Best madonna interview I've ever seen.

Larry King is really not good here in this interview. He asks her questions and doesn't let her finish her answers and cuts her off before she can finish. Borderline rude to her. Madonna here is mature, open and honest. Not trying to get attention. She speaks very well here.

if her mother had lived Madonna probably wouldn't have become a star. Her mother's death drove her crazy

Could you imagine if this Madonna met the Madonna of today?

she is so sweet and well spoken!

She’s a lady who doesn’t let people control her and she knows what she wants and she knows how to get it

Undoubtedly, the Queen of Pop! 👸🏼♥️♥️♥️

I can’t stand her sometimes ... SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO SMART ... TALENTED ... ETC ... 😻😻😻🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜

great quality

Great interview!

Lol I like the way she says her last name at the beginning

¡Madonna es una persona muy agradable! Madonna is a really nice person! who cares, I just practicing my Spanish.

I always love listening to M.

I love Madonna. And I love throughout the interview she's laughing at her own jokes.

This is her natural state no surgery and it looks real . And this interview seems real . Looks like she is talking to her dad !!!

Does it exist in full?

World Class!! She is timeless..

Fantasticaaaaaaa

I saw her in the west end on stage, my sister took me. It was weird being so close to her. Her eyes are striking and they are the first thing you'll notice. Wide-set and large.

She looks so good here!

he does a great job interviewing her here and before (twice). not sure if this was when she was married to Guy but I think she looks and appears the most relaxed. Love the outfit

Madonna so brilliant and beautiful here

“Its important to see the end in the beginning”. Wow. Just wow. 3:13

Why does he blurt so much

Yes. She does have that accent... very subtle.

ah I just love her, always

In my opinion, this is one of the best interviews she's given.

she's so lovely

She is so brutally honest about herself, as real as it gets as well as beautiful. Rare in Hollywood.

Shes great

It was sort of sad hearing her say she needed police barricades to get her out of the theatre venue back then. I waited to see her after one of her Madame X Tour shows this October and there were only a few of us fans waiting at the stage door. Maybe 50ish, idk. Possibly less. I expected a lot more madness. It was very calm.

"I don't know, it just seemed like a good idea at the time." PERFECT =]

Well put!

Yeah- Living in the Moment!

she was gorgeous back then when she had a human face

Am I crazy or they had the exact same conversation in the 1999 interview?

I love her so much

When she stated to talk about theater i just thought about the Madame X tour.

QUEEN OF POP

She looks stunning edit: actually madonna in her 40s was her prime, looks wise to me. I think she looked kinda awkward or something in her 20s and 30s but her 40s were so gorgeous.

she's got such a cute and sexy voice.

Intelligent, Smart woman!

A lovely special lady

Wow I Love the Queen she's amazing

Gosh she was so nice and beautiful here in and out

Well she was respectful with him. None of her usual spice and sarcasm.

I love Madonna, too!

Love this!

google it, watch her interviews

well said and so true.
