This is probably the version of Madonna that I admire the most. She was in the middle between being young and being mature. Her vocal ability, her body, her music, the way she talks.. everything was just perfect in this era!

The sound of that leather jacket tho

She talks like a university teacher, very clear, intellectually but witty.

So great to listen to an interview without an audience. No distractions or a host cracking jokes to get an audience to clap and cheer. Also, her personality comes through so much better.

Dark really suited her. Brings out her Italian DNA.

her leather jacket is giving me ASMR

Love her originality, creativity in music. She was not a cookie-cutter, Disney or Hollywood puppet. She had grit. Moved to nyc. Self-made singer. Worked at normal jobs in nyc. Restaurants. She’s the real deal.

I could literally listen to Madonna speak for hours. There’s nobody else in the industry like her. The intelligence. The depth

Her hair is annoyingly perfect.

I love her interviews . She is so philosophical .

“Never get involved with a man whose involved with someone else.” Sage words, Madonna. I hope the women and girls watching this paid attention to that advice!

Here in 2024. I am thankful to Madonna for everything she did for me. I reinvent myself and change and seek for different ways of being thanks to heR. A real inspiration

This interview made me wanna sit down and talk to her. I love listening to this woman.

One of my all-time favorite Madonna interviews. She comes off as incredibly genuine here. You can tell she respects Larry, and he's very no-nonsense and direct with her, while still being charming in his own way. I think he reminds her of her dad. And they end up having a mutual respect for one another. For all of Madonna's flaws, when someone brings out the best of her, it really is a wonderful experience as she's often quite guarded. Not only publicly, but emotionally as well. She can come off as quite vapid and superficial. But we all know she has a heart and is quite intelligent underneath the tough exterior. It's nice when she shows it.

Who revisited this interview after Madonna posted a photo on her Instagram?

Honestly, I feel sorry for Madonna and the way she is treated now. She is literally one of the biggest stars in our lifetime and she is 64 years old, yet, she looks fabulous. And many people troll her for her appearance, her lifestyle or because she doesn't give a single fuck. That's unfair and not okay. Let the biggest star enjoy her living, she deserved it all!

Damn, she looks so good here.

I love it when she brings out the brunette hair.

I love how she says she rather be the watcher than a watchee. So brilliant. I met her in 84 incredibly nice and unaffected by her fame.

October 24th 2023. Madonna’s on her celebration Tour. I’m so proud and in awe of her. I’m born in 1980, I’m 43 today. Madonna has been in the backyard of my whole entire life. Madonna has had a career and she still performing proving us that it’s doable. She is putting on a show, creating controversies and giving heartfelt speeches in the background of the current Israel-Palestine atrocities. Madonna is 65 years old today, she’s opened her home and love to many adopted African children. Thank you for your contribution ❤💕

Madonna was wise early. She knew that watching a screen is addicting.

SHE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL HERE. CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO.

She's such a mixture of girl next door and scary I'm in total awe. She's amazing.

Came here after hearing the sad news about Larry King’s passing… he was such a great interviewer, made his guests comfortable and provoked riveting discussions as you can see here with Madonna. One of the best interviews she’s ever had. A legend always lives on…

"Do I want to have eight children? - No!" - fast forward to 2017 and she has six children. The woman has so much love to give.

I love how she thinks about her answers. I need to do more of that! She is so interesting.

She was so relaxed and at ease in this interview. A lovely conversation

She is so satisfying to listen every time she talks. There's something in her accent, pronunciation, or how she speaks.

I just love love LOVE Madonna. These new artists like Lady GaGa, are wonderful, but Madonna is the original GREAT. I'm 58 y/o and still, no one compares to Madonna. Just LOVE her!!!

Her dark look here with dark hair was everything. She looks beautiful 😍

The pictures added with Madonna and Lola are way older than the interview, some of them were taken 6 years after the interview aired. The CNN just edited the video. At the time this was recorded, Lola was 2 years old.

This has got to be the most honest in-depth interview I’ve ever seen Madonna do. I also think it helps when the interviewer sits and talks to her like a human being and not a pop star.

The Queen of Pop Legend Icon Madonna

He is totally a gentleman! Everybody would love to be interviewed by him. Respect for both.

I never knew Madonna had such a sensitive mother side.. Her face lights up when she talks about her daughter she really loves being a mom.❤️

I worked in the arenas industry, close with the promoters, artists management ect and Madonna was one of the biggest stars that we had and she was so respectful and lovely to everybody ...contra to what people believe... extremely professional and just lovely

I love pop music, and I’ve seen hundreds of interviews and Madonna always remains as one of the few artist who really have something to say. She really puts meaning behind what she does and whether you like her or not, she’s a great artist!

Here Madonna a woman with an intriguing beauty no fake lashes or pigmented brows or crazy contouring you can see through her skin and her eyes and dark hair, such a unique rarity nowadays.

Madonna! What a incredible woman!. Wonderful. Beautiful. 40 Years in music and she goes for more. Amazing artist!

The Madonna we grew up with. She definitely owned the 80's and 90's

Love her look, it's cool and ahead of her time.

Madonna at her ultimate best, intriguing engaging charming interesting, RIP Larry

The way I love Madonna's music is incomprehensible. Like a Prayer moved me at the age of 8.

Larry King was a great interviewer. He wasn’t intimidated to ask probing questions but was never disrespectful. He asks great questions. Great interview.

It's been 20 years since this interview. Time flies.

I just finally looked at Madonna after over 35 years, And I'm mesmerized... I believe I'm in love with her just because she's her. Wowwww...

I want 90s Madonna back

She's definitely born for stardom. God has blessed her with a good head, abundant resilience, tenacity and stamina plus keeping her feet firmly on the ground.

Madonna Please bring your dark hair back! You look lovely and radiant!

I love the sound of Madonna's leather jacket. Don't ask why because I don't know myself.

She's got such a beautiful voice and elegance. She's amazing. Madonna ❤️

The more I listen to Madonna in the various interviews, the more I feel like I need her personally in my life! GOD, she is so : Intelligent, Grounded, Honest and seriously in touch with her Heart!!!

Since I was a young man I always got inspired by Madonna , she’s an amazing woman and extremely talented! She’s very sincere and definitely incredible smart , She always be my idol .

She's so intelligent, talented and beautiful! I love Madonna with all my heart!

"I want to be remembered as a good mother"! She won millions heart by this answers and that answer is enough to describe about her.Love from India💞💞💞

This is the version of Madonna that I admire the most.

It's always a pleasure to see Madonna's interviews

The most intelligent woman in pop music ever

When she sounded more mature and down to earth than now..lol

She has always been very honest with her interviews..just love listening to her.

the way she puts up with all the constant interrupting, she just swallows, looks down for a sec and goes with it,... soo many times. Larry wasn't great here at all.

I think Madonna is awesome.. Not only beautiful, but strong and seems like she enjoys a good time...

She's so smart and talented.

She will always be one of the most important and great artists of our time for me.💖🧚‍♀️

I love when Madonna ...I wish we had more of this Madonna. Bright and so articulate and so smart.

love the dark hair

Madonna was totally misunderstood. She was and is so bright, way ahead of her time So has a brilliant mind and in spite of how she was treated Noone got in the way. Kudos to you Madonna. .

This is the Madonna i miss. Afther 2005 shes lost at some point

I love her hair in this interview. .

Queen Of Pop

Incredible how her eyes shine when she talks about Sean ❤

Rest in peace Larry King. One of the best interviewers of all time 🤟🏼

Queen Madonna she looks beautiful in everything her style and hair

This is an excellent interview. Mr. King has great questions and she is as usual extremely interesting to listen to !

Of course Madonna's Ray of Light won the grammy and rightfully so! Such a great album. I always worshipped here as an artist, only now i am discovering her as a person and i love her more.

The only interview I've ever seen of her where she looks natural, humble.

i love her frame of mind, the way how she speaks and talks. she is speaking wisely.

It’s nice to see someone raising their kids right

Love this interview! Also the leather noise is *so* ASMR

I get emotional every time i listen to her. So much carisma and strength in her

I love that she says 'never get involved with someone who's involved with someone else'. Believe me, I've been propositioned many times over the years by 'the unfaithful's', but I always remember this interview 😇

My girl. I respect how smart she is. ♥️

She was absolutely gorgeous! :)

You can tell she is a researched and highly intelligent human simply by the fact she knows histories of obscure people, like Lola Montez.

Intelligent and wise...

It's 2020 a anyone watching this? Always catch any interview I can with Madonna!! So intelligent and smooth. Madonna is truly an icon. Nobody will ever compare to her talent and charm. Keep on keeping on Madonna. Love everything about you. Your an inspiration to us all. You will never be forgotten. Amazing woman.

The smartest women in the business. Projected a bad girl image and in reality had/has her head screwed on the right way. Never done drugs, drink etc....a super health conscious person with a healthy mind and a positive attitude. Madonna is a superstar in a class of her own. I love her for this. A complete performer and a wholesome beautiful person. She is the best role model for her daughter. 💓

Love her hair. I think this is one of her best looks.

Her original hair color. Looks good ❤️

THE JOURNALIST IS A GREAT JOURNALIST,GREAT INTERVIEW!

"free gucci leather jacket" - Imagine being rich and getting clothes for free flexing on it lol

She looks so damn good in this interview i love her and i love her style.

And, she still looks 23..amazing

So beautiful with brunette hair colour...So natural ❤

This woman has healthy self esteem I do admire her confidence

Madonna s still 'The legend' and 'honest' I really like her looks and her ability to talk, she s also a great speaker

Never paid much attention Madonna because I didn't care for her music and her slutty image. And when I saw the Letterman interview in the '80's, she really put me off. But geez, I just watched this and a 2017 interview and I'm so impressed. No airs, no bullshit. Just an incredibly talented, intelligent and successful artist being sincere and real.

Why does he keep interrupting? Let her finish her sentences

I think she’s exactly right about keeping her kids from television. Give them something to read.

She's so articulate and enunciates so well, and super gorgeous, lol!
