To think ‘oh no madonna’

[Stripyseagulls]

Madge is on graham Norton. She literally can’t move her face and can barely open her mouth she’s had so much surgery. It seems to have affected her speech it’s so bad.
She’s always been so great but it’s all so disappointing that she has fucked with her face so much.
Aibu?

I've just watched on YouTube and she looked like a fool due to the way she was dressed. Why was she holding her jacket closed like that? She was also acting in a strange manner and was breathless. Her skirt was too short and what's with the eye patch? Honestly, she looked stupid, why not dress comfortably and retain a bit of dignity?

I watched it looking for all the things she's being slated for.

She took the piss out of herself for the corset wardrobe error. She was holding the jacket because she was spilling out of the top and she was breathless because it was way too tight.

She did talk over Sir Ian a bit, but nowhere near as much as some have said.

Mostly she was funny and I thought gave quite an insight into her family set up, the effect of her fame on her children and herself. In those points she seemed rather vulnerable.

Even if she gave it all up tomorrow she'd never be able to have a normal life. Granted she chose initially but as she said she could never have predicted the real outcome.

I would've loved to have been in on the drinks with Sheryl when they were caning their exes though.

It's always different when you view something retrospectively as you have an expectation. She came across on the night as silly. But look, we are all talking about her and that has been her game plan from day 1. Just a bit bored with it now as she is so transparent.

I thought she was off her tits on something and incredibly rude.
Sad

Sad

Sad to see someone lose their dignity so dramatically.

Madame X' ? I think someone wishes she was Lady GaGa hmm
I just spluttered my tea...
Are you on drugs?? Lady GaGa wouldn't exist without Madonna!
I agree TSSDNCOP ( not seen that name in a long while!) She didn't seem that odd/ rude/ cold. She is definitely self conscious and a bit anxious but that's just how she is. Maybe because she knows that every tiny little thing she does/says/wears will be dissected by millions of people!

Maybe red, but I watched it clenched waiting for all the things and by the time she’d sorted her jacket out I was already enjoying the interview. I loved that she’s going to be her in her biopic. Only Madonna can out-Elton Elton.

I agree that Madonna was a Pioneer who paved the way for other women such as lady Gaga, neither of whom I particularly warm to because they are so up themselves but I still find them fascinating because they refuse to conform

I thought she was great. What exactly do people expect her to be?!

Crikey savethecake, relax. She's a singer on a tv show not the Great Dictator.

ifnot: Madame X' ? II think someone wishes she was Lady GaGa hmmI just spluttered my tea...Are you on drugs?

Others are taking her place and she cant stand it.
Whether they are copying her style or not, they're selling more music than she is. It's sad really.

Maybe because she knows that every tiny little thing she does/says/wears will be dissected by millions of people!

Maybe because she's so out of touch with reality she has realised that she doesn't have much to offer.

Her Eurovision performance was a car crash too.

I used to have so much respect for her but she's becoming a parody and honestly my overriding emotion now when I see her is pity. She can't reclaim her glory days, no matter how much autotuning, botox, or daring haberdashery she employs, and it's becoming undignified and seems more like a "look at me!" cry for attention than a genuine artistic choice.

She doesn't have to retire or disappear off the scene, but she needs to focus on what she is now rather than what she was 30 years ago.

I think her problem with speech is the metal brace.

Agree she looked uncomfortable in her outfit, that was a mistake.

Other than that I think she is very droll/deadpan which appears to have fallen flat with a number of posters. I had no problem with her interview or interruptions. Danny Boyle interrupted her twice. When there are a number of contributors on the sofa a bit of interruption is inevitable

And the lady gaga comment. Fucks sake and listen to Born this way and Express yourself

I thought she looked fine - though of course too much waxwork botox, ugh! I don't know if it was that which made her expressionless, or just that she was a bit guarded. She also did seem a bit nervous. But most of what she said was OK, the deadpan humour, as someone said, the difficulties of her children having such a famous mum etc. She didn't look comfortable though, but I guess its difficult if you know everyone's going to be looking at you. I read somewhere that her new album is mixed. Some a bit average, but a few Latino type tracks apparently excellent.

she did seem a bit nervous
Why? She must have done thousands of interviews by now. Why does she still do the persona and costume thing after so many years in the music business instead of just being Madonna? I understand her own fans might like it but it comes across as bizarre to other people.
I find it strange that someone who has been so successful for so long comes across as being so uncharismatic in interviews.
