Madonna at The Graham Norton Show [Full Show in HD] (Jan. 11, 2012)

[@80smusicfan1067]

This is the best Madonna interview I have ever seen. She seems so down to earth here! I think many people misinterpret her sense of humour.

[@RonBhattacharya]

Oh, she's 'SmartAF'! And my guess is that's exactly why she just 'fools around' these 'Hollywood Types' for the most part.

She was a great guest. She participated through out. I served Madonna in a small coffee shop in Manhattan it was just her makeup artist, her Brother and Bodyguard. When I went to unlock the door, I said "Thank You have a good night" The Brother and the bodyguard ignored me. Modonna stopped and shouted at them and said"Excuse me! He said Thank You have a good night" and she Hugged and Kissed me good night. I will never forget that.

[@MsDunn-x6o]

She has a very offbeat sense of humor, but i loved her music growing up.

[@lapislazuli7876]

⁠@@MsDunn-x6othis was 2012. She never interviews well. Always awkward or rude. And if not rude, defiant or haughty. Always a bit disagreeable. She was dressed appropriately and chicly though here which is a by-product of the Duke & Duchess of Windsor movie. It’s now 2024. Things have changed. She has since begun showing her genitalia on tik tok. She is always dressed in S&M leather or horrible fishnets and demonic perverted attire. I’m not sure how that is ok in any country or by any social standards anywhere. Not even in America. It has nothing to do with feminism. It’s just vulgar and tacky. It was way before she began dressing inappropriately and her addiction to cosmetic surgery kicked in. She was just at the edge of her addiction here. Her face began to change. It was spreading and getting wider and the filler is visible. It’s a shame she didn’t quit while she was ahead. It all went downhill from here on. The more recent images of her cutting birthday cakes in her underwear and cosmetic surgery that is scary is where she’s at now. She also has a 20 year old boyfriend at nearly 70 years of age. It just feels exploitative and desperate rather than feministic or empowered. She’s in a shame-spiral which is getting worse and it’s sad.

[@RonBhattacharya]

You're right. And as a creative person myself, let me add this: as a creative person of her stature, it's her 'duty' to 'critique' a work 'fairly'... and she did just that... no more or less - and honestly. That's the way it 'should' be instead of being a people-pleaser, and politically correct doormat.

I like how the audience is gradually more involved to the point it feels like they're naturally part of the interview. Like they're not just a background, they're human beings who also play an important part in this entire deal. That happens very rarely. How Madonna asks the crowd about the deep desire for romantic love rather than just talk about herself - that's some great social and emotional skill. She's a very impressive person. Well-spoken, thoughtful, smart, witty, composed. Seems that her 30 or so years on top are well deserved.

She's consistently incredibly professional and on her A-game whenever she's being interviewed.. Her competitive professionalism is impressive.

[@brihmendiola4347]

It's easy for some people to hate Madonna. They throw in words like bitchy, egomaniac, self-centered, etc. but in the end if you think about it Madonna became a legend just by being herself. There is nothing pretentious about her. After more than three decades in show business, she remains true to herself. I think that is her greatest accomplishment.

[@Lisa99lou]

Being herself? U mean performing!!! The real her is off screen

[@Someone-dv8uj]

First time I've seen a full interview with her. Never considered her as being bright and intelligent, until now. She still looks great. Love her music, especially her early stuff.

[@CrystalCoffin]

Madonna is well-known for being intelligent, she's never been known as a "dumb girl" in the way of Marilyn Monroe or Paris Hilton or Britney Spears. I love how people can sound so damn smart when talking about Stanley Kubrick's movies for instance yet when it comes to Madonna, they suddenly become embarrassingly clueless. To have watched just one interview in full, one out of her numerous legendary appearances, and loudly announcing their uninformed opinion on Madonna...geez people are really idiots.

[@CC-gl4iy]

I love how Madonna handled this interview. Her approach, intelligence and aura are naturally domineering that I feel like the interviewer is a bit apprehensive on how to formulate questions that wouldn't sound foolish. She warms up by making some jokes and it seems that she really love her fans by giving a side response to one of the audience who shouted when they should have to be quiet already. That's what I see in this show.

[@andycandyandy]

I was reading graham norton book, He tells us why Madonna was so popular and why she is a gay icon, which he says younger people no longer understand. When Madonna was in her prime, she recognised gay people. In this era, the only time you heard the words gay or homosexual was either in reference to HIV or Attacks. What Madonna did was recognised them as people, and celebrated them. This was at time where every gay men was seen as weird or perverts in the media.

[@4Mr.Crowley2]

Yes, she has always been an advocate for the gay community, back when it was "dangerous" for a mainstream artist to do so. She also got her start in the gay discos of New York. They loved her and she loves them.

[@zaftra]

There was alot of gay men on the TV in Britian in the 60's and 70's, some of the best loved ones of the day. Before Madonna came along.

[@reddragonready]

zaftra They did not talk about fact that they were gay, nor did anybody else.

[@reddragonready]

zaftra I got the impression you attempted to counter Andy's statement by claiming British public, or at least the tv viewing portion, were fine with gays already in the sixties and seventies. My response was meant to indicate this is patently untrue. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_the_United_Kingdom

[@zaftra]

Then you thought wrong didn't you. A lot of performers WERE gay and openly gay and people loved them not only for their performance but as people as well. You assumption is also not accurate, since i was boron in 68 and have a gay sister. Then as now, the majority of people don't go to bed thinking about gay issues and thinking about them when they wake up again. Sorry to burst your bubble if you are gay but for the most part where people put their bits and pieces on a friday night is a complete irrelevance to most peoples lives. Were they to hear some one was gay it would have been met with either indifference to uncomfortable and not agreeing with it - pretty much the same now. Back then there was more OPEN hostility to gay people, ranging from name calling to actual physical attacks; pretty much though, people generally had a good idea who was gay or not and mostly they were left alone. I always remember when my sister was a teen (early 80's), the biggest drama she had was when she was having gay times sent to her friends house and not ours, naturally the friends parents didn't like this and complained. When we went to visit her in whistable she left a gay times on the coffee table and she was on the cover, I just picked it up and read it. To this day I'm pertty sure she was really miffed that she didn't have THE big dramatic coming out scene, this was due to the fact we really did not give two shits if she was gay or not, if she was a stranger less so. The only difference now is homosexuality is the absolute must fashion accessory and the political correctness desease means if you don't fawn all over a gay person as soon as the feel the need to proclaim themselves gay the moment yu meet them, then clearly you are homophobic not the case. What's portrayed on the tv now about then can be very biased indeed. For the most part, it wasn't even spoken about it was very much more a personal under ground thing.

Madonna grew up fighting all odds, making mistakes, married a Brit, so she can enter into the upper middle class of the Brits. Did manage to grow a thick skin as the tabloids trashed her down. .She survived.she made music,danced,directed,toured, had kids...still going on even after 50. Did she have cosmetic surgeries? Botox ? Ofcourse ! MDNA is 50plus & in show-biz. she has to ! But now she doesnt care what her critics or her fans say a thing about her. Because she simply survived all those lonely evenings, finally thats what matters as she kicks her feet back to relax. Loved LOVE MJ, admiring MDNA.

Graham is from the same area as me in cork and a man my mum works with knows his family, when he was home he was talking to my mums friend about meeting Madonna and when he went to her dressing room, Madonna stood up with her arms out stretched and graham thought she was going to hug him but she was really waiting for her assistant to put her jacket on for her...

[@PDC1987]

And as usual in these stories your source is full of shit. Graham himself said how nice and gracious she was, and he was literally on stage at one of Madonna's London concerts late last year.

[@maggie14235]

+PDC1987 it's actually true but you believe what you want to. I don't hate Madonna I think she's an amazing performer but I just wanted to share the story

[@taekookx922]

PDC1987 well he’s not going to say she’s a bitch out loud is he god

[@CamoShirt]

her daughter telling her what's cool. i think she should know by now madonna could wear a towel to an event and it would be called cool.

[@REMChicagoBoy]

Graham Norton has one of the coolest shows ever. I've seen McCartney on his show as well as Elton John. It's a really great, fun show. :-)

[@panthershart]

I really love Madonna!!!! She is really an icon.

[@iamfilipinas]

Thoroughly enjoyed this! She is so quick!

[@ginasousabranco5637]

M is very sincere and amusing.

[@t.least.he.was.honest]

maybe for dumb idiots

[@MikeBarbre]

"Whatever. You learned how to dance, dude." That just made me roll, laugh right out loud.

[@Kiwibloke2025]

She's too articulate for most to get her humour and wit

[@joshuspate5833]

I think you need to look up the definition of articulate...

[@Taboofreak]

She's very funny and comes over very down to earth! Love you Madge!

[@ginasousabranco5637]

3:15 "Holly Mother of God its MADONNA!!" Yeah! The One & The Only MADONNA.

[@Camden1313]

I initially came to check out James D'arcy cause I love him, but I was impressed by how personable Madonna was in this interview. Sometimes she just seems so cold and distant.Although I wish it was an ensemble interview sooner, like GN's other interviews. I loved Emeli Sande's performance, a great song.

[@oggietv]

Excellent interview, I Love Her

the queen

[@thynguyen4550]

It's entertainment!

[@darshana5395]

@How Marvellous Am I you know she's the most successful female artist of all time right?

[@darshana5395]

@How Marvellous Am I of course. But there is no one more successful than her.

[@FreyrNordisk]

She still looked like Madonna here, I miss that face.

[@feryache]

I am having a GN marathon and this show Madonna it's awesome!!

[@emmadeal1105]

She looks gorgeous here. Graham was in his element .. he is great at interviewing people and has the best guests. This was brilliant he put her at ease🎉

[@jackiejns983]

Madonna is fantastic. GREAT SHOW!

[@loudloveen]

I've never seen a guest speak for that long with no other guests on the couch. They gave her plenty of air time! I enjoyed it. I think she's getting nicer and nicer as she ages. I only wish I could age that well!

[@emmadeal1105]

Probably paid her a bomb that's why!!

[@Arlindaofficiall]

She's such an intelligent beautiful and talented woman.Love you Madonna

[@josephprovencher6345]

I loooove when Madonna whole heartedly laughs ❤❤❤

[@alansmithee3336]

I've never been a big fan of Graham Norton but i admire the way he always seems unfazed by his guests, no matter how iconic they are. The Madonna can be a difficult creature to handle. When she sees that an interviewer seems nervous or asks boring questions she will attack, but i think she was a bit disarmed by his demeanour & was more relaxed & engaging because of this. She's such a beautiful woman too, so it's tragic she felt the need to turn herself into a waxwork.
