[@eleshaburgess8567]

I like that she is more relaxed not so serious these days

[@modarXmodar]

elesha burgess Exactly!! I've been watching her recent interviews, she seems so comfortable!! watch her latest interview on the Jonathan Ross show, so relaxed and spontaneous

[@madonnascotland3019]

modarXmodar Did you forget that she was very uncomfortable on the Jonathan Ross show. Because she was sitting on a book with the lyrics to her songs in it. And her jacket was also on top of that!

[@crystalgeisha]

+Spudly1234567 shes not a granny, shes a cougar

[@ternitamas]

what are you talking about she was high on letterman like 30 years ago, she's the queen of chill

[@alinaveed20]

Yet still worth more than you! @@crystalgeisha

[@brandtmccall5184]

It is very inspiring to see someone who loves their work so much, she keeps doing her shows, new songs, new ideas...she loves life. Good for her.

[@TheMega2013]

+Brandt McCall And is the most talented person in the world

[@toni9890]

+Bull XD

[@TheMega2013]

Alex Skellington What?? She gives great head.

[@desativado9332]

Brandt McCall I see the same thing in her, she gives a good example of how to be confident.

[@ashleyvalley3946]

she is becoming really old. I don't like it. the end.

[@AuntieFa]

Those grills are an abomination.

[@sgm123]

Muse D She’s been wearing those for 3 years already, for god knows whatever reason. Please, someone steal those from her like the demo tracks she had stolen.

[@charlie_3370]

They feel... reductive ;)

[@MetalliBunny]

Steve Holmgren My fav. band do whatever the f*ck they want (MetallicA) I thought she wore the grills to have some fun >=:) I'm not even a fan and I loved the 'Holiday' thing with the kids instruments.

[@alaskagal4958]

Galaxatron *slow clap*

[@alexdub1985]

Steve Holmgren calm down

[@teamilanamiller9774]

She's the queen of pop. She can wear whatever the hell she wants.

[@theacan565]

U are right...what THE HELL wants!!

[@misslori66]

The one thing I like most about Madonna is that she believes in herself. Always has. That is the reason she is who she is. She's very motivated, adaptive and very self-assured.

[@RosePetal17]

Why is her age the only focus!!! It goes to show there is 'Ageism' in North American society. What do 23 year olds know anyway?????

[@FroggieTheR0gue]

They know they don't want their moms dressing like a gang banger.

[@RosePetal17]

FroggieTheR0gue Well, I agree with that.....not likin' the "grill" ;(

[@FroggieTheR0gue]

Rose Petal She should learn how to age more gracefully. If my mother behaved like that I'd be ashamed.

[@RosePetal17]

Oh come on "Froggie TheR0gue....really???? You'd be "ASHAMED"? She is an empowered woman who is fiercely independent and takes care of herself and her kids!! Look at other women (and I hate to use this phrase...) 'of a certain age' who are rockin' it into their 60s, 70s and beyond. Does the name Dolly Parton ring a bell?? She's just as 'out there' as Madonna, and proud of it!!!

[@deborahcoughlin6338]

move to sadia arabia you loud mouthed bithch!

[@AlainBruno]

I can't believe Madonna is 57 yo. She looks incredible!

[@kokkil7047]

+Alain Bruno she ages really well

[@miguellet6034]

+Alain Bruno plastic surgery

[@mailinwinder3442]

+Alain Bruno she is old

[@miloradvlaovic]

+miguel let She has never had any. It's a common fact, attested by MD's and MD specialists in dermatology. Besides, If You are in the medical field, You know that these things always show. Unless You count Botox, or Hyaluronic acid as "surgery" in which case You're just plainly uniformed.

[@crystalgeisha]

+Mailin winder she is old I agree but doesn't look very old, most people her age don't look that good. Shes maintained her self very well. Peace out x

[@JustNess78]

I want to not like her, but I can't. I mean... she's MADONNA! She's my childhood :)

[@RayasNegroOvejas]

That's a weird attitude. Why not try to go into situations like a blank page?

[@FirstnameLastname-nx1oh]

JustNess78 Mine too.. born in 1725 lel I love her, she's awesome.

[@allthatjazzspaz95]

Totally. I want to hate her for being so pretentious... But then "Dress you up" or "lucky star" comes on and I'm all like "OMG I LOVE MADONNA SHES SO GREAT"

[@JustNess78]

allthatjazzspaz95 EXACTLY! lol :D

[@jasminflowerz1710]

Same here. I 💓 her.

[@sosyPel]

why does the audience scream every single word they say

[@MadonnaLyrics]

sosyPel fans of her?

[@Americansikkunt]

Not fans....mindless sheep

[@MadonnaLyrics]

Americansikkunt nope....people who fucking love something you dont like and it drives you crazy...psycho

[@hasselett]

Illuminati Queen They were obviously cheering excessively, you fucking idiot.

[@MadonnaLyrics]

Victor Liedholm you obviously havent go to any tour of madonna...and i hope you will never will cause you are too sad for this..bb

[@dreamsbylauren]

"Yeah, you can say Madonna on our show, we cleared it." LOL

[@akioaslan]

Imagine telling MADONNA she is "basic"

[@PakoVillasana]

Look at Jimmy's reaction at 0:45 when he heard the band started playing the song and he instantly knew he had to get up and dance LOL

[@nryanmusic]

he is so pissed lol!

[@nryanmusic]

at 1:09 afterwards he shoots them a look!

[@ziva9266]

She actually looked good here

[@TheEmeliexx]

shes sooooo pretty and she looks soooo young

[@danidakota276]

+Emily Pheo well, her plastic surgeries really paid off

[@TheEmeliexx]

Dani Dakota they did tho I wish I had money like that

[@odi4452]

"Well, there's no point living if you can't dance!" --Madonna @ 1:17

[@BigNicks]

Love how Jimmy laughs, and how they are having so much fun together

[@BigNicks]

I dont think so

[@GrummanIsComin]

I don't care what people say. I think she's cool 😎

[@MisterBEP]

I like her hair here but those grills and this outfit are just too much!

[@kaylee7904]

***** Its Madonna...

[@JhonathanFree]

***** She looks ridiculous.

[@imasinner5868]

Luke Fondleberg it seems this days EVERYONE is age obsessed. and lets be honest those who criticizes her for not "acting her age" are the ones who wish they can do what they really want to do but because they're so insecure they go and hate on others. funny thing is that if you're supposed to act your age why is it that people over 50 who criticizes her act like children?

[@MsShade77]

I'm A Sinner You nail it!! I'm almost 40 and I feel like 30. I don't care. I love that Madonna gives a fuck about that she should dress like (I don't even know what?) Should we all start to wear old cunt's dresses after some point? NO!! Age is numbers. It's not something should take so seriously or life. If we would live a miserable follow others life I'm sure that's not fun. I still remember how I ripped my mom's clothes and act and danced Like A Virgin when I was seven. Mom liked :)

[@JhonathanFree]

It's not about her age. It's about her LACK of maturity and her need to be "cool". Big difference. She cares very much what others think hence this ridiculous incarnation.

[@yazzivine2427]

Jimmy is SO nervous around her!! So cute! Shes incredible beautiful Magnificent and she Never stops!!! Endless talent endless light! 2 of my fav people!! Ofcourse Madge is always #1!

[@theusersam]

I LOVE how much Jimmy loves Madonna! He's a true and loyal fan!

[@karrenpopovics2780]

Overkill

[@prankfiles]

She looks awesome!!!

[@jurigagarin3966]

Here she still looks like Madonna :)

[@powerofmadonna6660]

Those grillz... how can u not love them =)

[@Ali.il98]

Fuck off

[@powerofmadonna6660]

mrkiller8787 that was the message SHE sent to all haters like you! now DO IT and STFU

[@danidakota276]

+Power Of Madonna very easy

[@danidakota276]

Leo Light LMAO

[@jmoth99]

U like maddona don't u

[@CrimsonHalo99]

Madonna looks good for her age and I love how she has never lost her humor

[@sybaritesphynx8057]

Cue the comments from men who'll either call her old or sexy. Because a woman should only be judged between those poles. Smh!

[@hUrFaH54]

Why are you being feminist? Look at your profile pic lmao.

[@Gabita989]

hUrFaH54 You are totally proving her point. Look at your comment, lmao.

[@Gabita989]

...

[@dicedavis84]

What about old and sexy lol

[@TransparentLabyrinth]

sphinx onyx Well men get judged for the other kind of poles, so it kinda balances out.

[@dimitreze]

"You look awesome!". Really Jimmy???

[@erarung28]

What happened to her teeth, anyway?

[@dimitreze]

Corey Alverson Yes.

[@brunoscott8157]

e r She said in the beginning she's wearing a grill.

[@saberXedge]

Corey Alverson That would have been a very good question!

[@aidanmorris2231]

Dimitri Bitu yes really!

[@SiapSiup]

DAMN ! She looks awesome

[@kyan78]

'Yeah, you can say Madonna, we cleared it' 😂

[@modarXmodar]

So funny and ironic that most people here who are writing empty comments about age/look/career are losers in their real life! they just come to youtube videos and try to make themselves feel better :) Just pathetic and boring....

[@TheRyanSants]

The music starts to play...and I'm like "Wait... that's an awesome beat..put that again.. wait'"

[@chowmarina008]

I think she's like 58 she's not old and I still think she is amazing

[@FeelinErie]

Omg, you can tell she's been hanging around us Brits, using the slang term ''blank''.

[@andrewphillips6309]

She is absolutely phenomenal!!

[@iwys]

Is Jimmy Fallon excited to have Madonna on his show or is he really EXCITED? He's almost shaking with excitement. I've just seen Madonna's Rebel Heart tour in London and it was truly amazing. She's the youngest 57-year-old I've ever seen and, as well as the obvious charisma, she genuinely has a great singing voice.

[@aaronthompson8458]

I like Madonna for not letting age change who she is. I wish I'm like her when I get older.

[@kaneliroman6925]

I' am so proud of her. She does what she wants regarless of her age. Dress the way you want until you fall into your grave from old age. As healthy and strong as she is she will live to be 120. She stands out because of her courage and not afraid to create whatever is on her mind. This is called freedom of spirit. Many of us always think I would like, I wish, should I ? Go for it ! And don't give a Damn what anyone thinks..

[@yurivargas7665]

Jimmy is so sweet😭❤️

[@GraceanneParks]

This just in: According to Madonna's kids being on Jimmy Fallon is NOT basic. I agree

[@vintagesubliminals3398]

I love her so much!

[@vr-tours5675]

"Yeah, you can say Madonna" lmao, right at the end...

[@misterrmoron7012]

She always remained so normal after all that fame

[@StarVickyyy]

Madonna at 57 better looking than me at 16..WELL PLAYEEEED

[@juliaaa1111]

She looks great. The grill's nasty, though.

[@natn.5022]

I really enjoy her voice

[@latsboar95]

Jimmy is the kinda guy you'd want to interview you. He blows smoke up your ass like a chimney.

[@andrewschneider7657]

She looks a little bit like drew barrymore here. So pretty.

[@anneroschier6503]

This guy just has such a teenage crush on Madonna. Haha.

[@Char.nelle98]

You can totally tell Jimmy is head over heels for Madonna haha

[@pedrocarrazana1157]

She looks so hot

[@DJMichaelAngelo]

+Pedro Carrazana so do you ;)

[@pedrocarrazana1157]

+DJMichaelAngelo thanks

[@turbominator]

I want to see the full footage of 1 of the audience members that keeps screaming

[@byazrov]

Absolutely fabulous. The greatest tv performance she ever made. Such a treat for fans. Thank you, JF!

[@tommylbthllr]

She changed so much

[@elizabethissoweird]

Jimmy's fanboy side is so adorable

[@KindaSorta451]

She can dress however the fuck she wants to dress regardless of her age. Stop being so negative about a woman you don't even know.

[@Ravenovah]

she looks great!!!

[@22lovecouture]

Really diggin the black tie bar with the black tie

[@collidingforces9589]

Jimmy: "Bitch I'm Madonna", Am I saying correctly??? Madonna: "yeah -BIIIITCH!!!" you got that.

[@JeanAlb]

OMG she changed so much in 6 years. She was looking so great in this interview. In 2021 the latest interview with Jimmy she looked so swollen and old. What happend??

[@Rings-of-Saturn2]

Aging starts speeding up in a persons 60's

[@karrenpopovics2780]

Fillers and multiple plastic surgeries

[@angierucker5505]

Still love her...I CAN'T HELP IT!!!!

[@admon2205]

If you skip the video every 2 seconds in random order…..you will only hear jimmy fallon talk and talk.

[@hollybird54321]

I can't wait to see her in Michigan!!!!!!

[@iitsbrad7987]

500 Trump & Gaga fans cant handle this Icons greatness. 💪❤🤣

[@jonathansharp8906]

I love her so much. Age ain't nuthin but a number and she proves it. She has more "Kool factor" than half of these newbies will ever have Long live Queen Madonna and of course the princess of pop, Ms. Britney Spears :)

[@Lilydu972mag]

4:16 to the end killed me XD

[@jasminflowerz1710]

I couldn't agree more....what's the point in living if you can't dance.

[@DanielVnt]

she looks good to be 98 wow

[@Clariccy]

let`s see you adonis

[@priyasuresh5102]

i love jimmy!!! hahah he's soo cute!

[@madonnadelrey6420]

I WANT HER CLOTHES! 😩

[@jdoe3240]

I have the album and it's pretty dope.

[@sabio28]

She is funny! A diva :D

[@allthatjazzspaz95]

Madonna, man. She's still hot! Love her outfit too, it's very Madonna ;)

[@Sha-lx1sj]

Why is she so breathless in the beginning?

[@bluethunder7391]

Last night show was one of the greatest ever...

[@naurking5388]

She looks so badass here. I bet a lot of people are afraid to say something in her face. Thank god they have twitter accounts now, otherwise...She always knew how to close mouths.

[@zubenko17]

Madonna just awesome! Adore her!

[@dustyblue2ify]

Jimmy ~"by the way the album is fantastic, you went for it I love it" ...as he picks up Album Cover of Madonna's Face strapped Criss~Crossed in what seems leather rail roding her face..all I could do was LMAO~ Freak'in Pop Main Stream Sheeple Music ~ Indeed~ Bound & Gag!!!!

[@ginasousabranco5637]

Teeth accessory aren't new to Madonna. On the Erotica (92) era used a gold one in a front tooth. Since 2013, uses grillz being cover of Harper's Bazaar magazine. This one has diamonds & a cross in front.

[@orangejuice1078]

Why do people think that it must be forbidden for old women to wear this kind of stuff? Madonna is a creator of modern culture. Her soul will never change. She will never be an ordinary 'graceful' old. Madonna is Madonna even if 59 or 100. Like her or not.

[@TASIAawful1]

Meltem Mltm 56 isn't old lol

[@katianovakk]

I think Madonna needs to transition to a new era. Not that she's not rockin' the style she wears now, and not that there's anything wrong with being in your fifties and being a successful pop star, but I feel she's been on this shtick too long. She's still doing the "sparkly pop star" thing from ten years ago. I'd like to see her stop acting like a 'Princess' and assume the part of 'Queen.' Big gowns, majestic coats, heavy jewelry, like a REAL queen! She should take up space on a stage and look larger than life, not just look like any other pop star. I hate to say it, but people like Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry are wearing the same things she's wearing. Everyone's wearing those Moschino leggings. People have been wearing grills since the 90's. Everything she's doing has been done before. That's not Madonna, is it?

[@anonnymous4684]

Katia Madonna's just not a 'big gown' kinda woman, though. She's not Celine Dion and thank FUCK for that.

[@tiakaur3946]

Madonna doesn't care what you think

[@torbensiska7053]

looking awesome- and She is so funny

[@Mtanic]

She's gotten so calm in interviews in these last years, it's totally cool.

[@ONE_OF_MANY-MANY_OF_ONE]

I think that Jimmy was getting that "fuck feeling" for Madonna there.

[@bryanlinkmyspace]

I can't believe she is 97

I can't believe it's not butter!

[@lionelromo6130]

[@2uconner]

she s got nice teeth

[@cjua2803]

she got very strange. She's probably not taking old age well

[@leolight5369]

cjua2803 MK ULTRA for you

[@cjua2803]

Maybe so but at least I won't be as weird as her

[@fruitloops2547]

There's nothing worse than getting to her age and having dressing like your trying to get attention in the wrong way. She looks like a clown is there any one who cares for her who's not a yes person, what disservice keeping it real

[@danidakota276]

+Jay W. Hat Maybe she does the same at home???

[@leolight5369]

Dani Dakota lol. Does Madonna think she looks cute? I mean seriously. At her age she looks like a fool playing dress-up. I'm beginning to think her handlers are doing this on purpose to humiliate her.

[@JNadobnik]

In Poland and Holland, people kiss three times. In other European countries two times. It's hard. We never know what cheek to begin with.

[@yaseengani1]

20 years back even thinking about her made me go nuts and now this urrrghhhh !!

[@tallouse2146]

I didn’t realize Madonna was so tiny

[@ulisesyork9218]

QUEEN OF MUSIC. GORGEOUS WOMAN. And to all of those ageist people commenting negative things about her, just look at how young and energetic she looks, and then look at your mother……………….. That's all. #BitchShesMadonna

[@southsydesasha7268]

thank you!!!

[@evucis19]

It's time for her to age with grace.

[@shesh5562]

jimmy was totally in awe of Madonna.

[@WilliamMaslow]

Jimmy is fake on this, but well, the album is actually pretty cool, better than most of her previous works.

[@MollyTheRockz]

+marshall heppner haha lol ikr

[@madonnadelrey6420]

I'm gonna just assume you were joking. She looks NO where near 79. Hell she doesn't even look 56 and that's how old she is.

[@ChaChinnngK]

+marshall heppner lol more like you're pretending to be her generation Where do you think "your" look came from, fatass ?

[@karibennett5847]

Anyone commenting about this 'age' thing probably lives in a small rural town where people pop out kids in their 20s, start dressing old in their 30s due to weight gain and even more so in 40s and up! Its dumb! Age is just a number to remind us how many times we go around the sun!!!!
