Madonna - The Rosie O'Donnell Show Interview, 1997

[@hutch1197]

How lucky were those of us to witness this era? She's coming off "Evita" and recording "Ray of Light", to be followed by "Music", "American Life" and "Confessions". She was unstoppable.

[@TheAllaccess2011]

I witnessed all that.

[@sergioampv1640]

They are friends and it shows. 🥰

[@midnightdeirdre]

This was a good interview…but for such good friends they sure do take a lot of jabs at each other, lol.

[@diviner21]

Loved Madonna interacted with Rosie, I hope they're still friends. Madonna showed the playful and fun side of her sign Leo , vs. its arrogant and bossy qualities . Rosie is an Aries so they naturally flow together . Yet, Madonna was somewhat condescending to Lauren Holly, who was quite likable and composed throughout Madonna's rude interruptions , which Rosie indulged and co-signed.

[@sergioampv1640]

I’m fan of Madonna, but I know she’s an attention-seeker (she couldn’t have been who she is without that aspect of her personality). So she couldn’t leave and/or just let Rosie interview Lauren without getting involved somehow. Madonna won’t let anyone “steal her spotlight”. Lol

[@Savagemode09]

They are :) 😀 like sisters back in 2019 rosie presented her glaad award

[@000_x9]

Rosie had a fun show used to watch it all the time. I like how they call each other Mo and Roe

[@IanBrownMakeUpArtist]

They were dressing Sheryl Crow around the same time, they were both photographed in a series of looks like this. They were also doing sheer corset bustier dresses with exposed boning and butterfly prints as well as their signature leopard.

[@felicecinque]

[@jaylyn7285]

@@IanBrownMakeUpArtist You have a great memory! I loved the 90's. The decade of my 20's when life was an endless party with hot summer days on the beach and clubland at night. Great times. Can't understand where the time has gone. 😉

@Veronica Electronica thank you so much for bringing all the videos to us i love love love!!

[@johanericsson2403]

She instantly adopts her Brooklyn-ish accent around Rosie, just like when she was married to Guy Ritchie she was British. There are probably tons of examples of that - I'm sure Madonna always becomes who she's with. Actually yeah - that Letterman appearance with Sandra Bernhard, she was a whacky crazy goofy lesbian. The Sean Penn marriage - she basically became a female Sean Penn, with the short hair and jeans and leather jackets. She dated Tupac - bam, video with cornrows. Holy crap! I bet it's always true. It's just weird in a public persona where you can see all the direct mirroring.

Those years with Guy Ritchie were the best period of her life. She's so bright, self confident, so beautiful, who would have thought that 20 years after, she would have been the monster she is now.....

[@ndesdsadfd]

Right. She's truly pitiful nowadays. Granny needs to retire. Or act her age.

[@Patrick3183]

This was 3 years before guy Ritchie. And I feel Guy was the worst for her. He told Madonna she was old and ugly. He is the reason she’s had so much insane plastic surgery and these terrible Young boyfriends

[@sergioampv1640]

I think the Evita phase was great for her, but this was before Guy Ritchie.

[@isla4953]

How very cruel to call her a monster now... She may be famous but she's a human being who has aged and it must be very hard to do so in tbe public eye. Treat people how you'd like to be treated I guess

[@agathe7277]

@@isla4953 KZbin is a place where everyone can give their opinion. I don't care about your remarks, I still think that she turned into a monster and that it's not a question of age. she could have done surgery without going overboard. As for saying that I have to treat people the way I would like to be treated, I don't risk that happening to me, I'm not the kind of person who disfigures himself, unlike you who may be adept at this kind of practice since you find it very nice and then stop telling people what to say or not to say, personally, I don't give a shit.

Meine Namen you made the statement for Madonna. I expressed my opinion. It’s free speech and Madonna is a public figure so deal with it. The world is not gonna end because I don’t like Madonna.
