You don’t have the female artists of today without Madonna blowing open the doors and shattering glass ceilings.
Cher walked so Madonna could run.
@@stormrobinsonvarious singer-actresses also walked long before Cher... Monroe, Barbra Streisand, Judy... to lead her run
@@cjma4832 Monroe didn't have a successful TV show or have a solo singing career like Cher though.
@@pobstrelbut Marlyn Monroe was the Blueprint of Fashion and She was a Movie Star , Modonna copied Monroes whole Style !!!
crazy to think there is a whole generation that really doesn't know or understand madonna's impact in pop culture like the 1st story.
Yeah, "who's Madonna?" But that the "law of products" they just phase out.
Then there are those of us who wish we could forget.
fr
Not only pop culture, but we were in a time that the tail end of the *someday your prince will come* era. Madonna gave us the strength to break loose from norms. Made it ok to want to have sex even if ur a girl. Culture icon
@@lauras.6339 She admitted before that was just self-centred and for provocation without consequences. Even though she is back at it with the claim for "champion against ageism". I think its more fight against wrinkles, change and not trending. Not realistic but nonetheless her prerogative. I rather focus on her ground breaking music videos and equality for women. People say she never superceded Michael Jackson but i think she did at times. Her impact was felt worldwide although largely misinterpreted at the time. Only princess diana was more a phenomenon at that time. I still think her message is relevant. But its really not translating through botox, filters and bare nipples anymore.
I think the TOM HOLLAND's story gives us the perfect name for a pop song: "I left Madonna on the dance floor"
Maybe for a rap song?
@@katetempleton9669 I can see that!
There will never be a more bold, smart creative and intelligent female pop rockstar. She set the bar way too high.
Love the way Benedict says " Madonna "
Madonna is an Icon. A legend. The queen of pop. It does not get better than that.
I LOVE Maggie Gillenhall as an actress and that she spoke of Madonna in such awe and admiration,without the bitter,hurt ego that other celebs had when spoke of her. Madonna is an Icon,like her or not.
I love how Madonna saw the humor in Sarah's photobomb and posted it so sweetly! 😂😂😂😂😂
And now, 2023 Madonna is touring with Celebrate proving that 65 is just a number for the haters. She has amazing legs, is fit and beautiful and singing live. She's saying and I hear her that it's ok to be 65 and feel beautiful, sexy and talented. Ageism is horrible and women who are bashing her should wear a lingerie and feel good in their skins. Aging is not a sin. Everyone wakes up older everyday. Thank you Madonna ❤
She’s clearly not comfortable looking 65 though hence the plastic surgery. She’s not alone in this it’s a terrible tragedy of growing old in some
Well said.
Aging is not a sin. That's why she's desperately trying to look younger by botchering her face with plastic surgery and wildly applying rejuvenating filters on her social networks? I find that VERY contradictory.
Madonna is forever fascinating.
She’s literally so funny, she’s that cool aunt that teases you for being lame and then takes you to the mall to get better outfits 😂
Madonna is such a living legend. She’s like Elvis and Michael… a legend
Kylie Minogue is up there too, in my humble opinion.
@@GPBKM Kylie is very much in the same league ....hands down Am 49, absolutely LOVE her....& was grooving to her songs only yesterday in my living room like crazy !
@@GPBKM Hmmm....no. Her overall impact on pop culture is very limited. Most people in the US would only really know her by one song, whereas genuine legends have a litany of hits that have established them in the public consciousness, as well as an outsize personality that precedes them. Kylie is too 'nice' and down to earth to be able to compare.
@@anonnymous4684 , LOL... Another American who thinks the world revolves around the USA... Diminishing her impact on pop culture is your arrogance. The woman sold close to 100 million records worldwide! She's the first and only female so far to have no.1 albums in 5 consecutive decades in the UK chart, the last one was only last year. She's an inspiration to new pop stars too, like Dua Lipa. At her age and longevity in the business she's indeed an icon! What are you on about?
@@GPBKM I'm not American. I live in east London and grew up in the Midlands. But, for good or for ill, there's no denying that America exerts a huge influence on the world politically, economically and in terms of pop culture too. And it remains as true as ever, that if as a pop star, you want to attain 'legend' status, then you need to crack America. But Kylie's success there been pretty minimal and only her most ardent fans would claim she's on the same level as Elvis, Michael Jackson and Madonna as that's not how the public see her at all. Steps are still having number one albums but anyone trying to argue that this means they're 'up there with ABBA', would be laughed out of the room.
Madonna Super Bowl half time show is the most watched television bit in US history Nuff Said
I could NOT imagine being MADONNA famous. That’s an entirely different reality to live in.
Madonna is THE celebrity among celebrities
@@ginasousabranco5637 oh lord😆
@@ginasousabranco5637 SHE IS THE QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE ❤️❤️👑👑👑
@@thinkforyourself828 well, she is… that’s why most celebrities behave like commoners next to her.
But it's NOTHING to how famous Michael Jackson was at his peak (old Gen X'er here).
I don't know how Madonna lives her life. On one hand, she's possibly the most famous woman that has lived for the past 40 years. On the other hand, she's possibly the most infamous woman that has lived for the past 40 years. But finding the middle, the characteristic that made her both incredibly famous and infamous in equal parts was her blunt and forward attitude. I cannot think of any other public figure, male or female, who held such polarizing distinctions in equal measure. Overshadowed by all of this is her incredible songs she's written and produced, her incredible albums that she's released, and the amazing benchmarking and trendsetting videos she's made. I truly believe Madonna should have tons of Grammy awards based on her songwriting and producing alone, but the quality of her work has always been overshadowed by her controversies. And let's not forget how ageism has left her by the wayside, even while writing and producing incredible work (though a bit inconsistent at the same time). I've been a HUGE fan of Madonna's since the first day I heard "Crazy For You" and 'Into The Groove". It will definitely be interesting to see how history remembers her.
The only way to be famous for forty years without dying under a bridge or something like that is precisely by being infamous.
I think she is the 3rd most famous woman of the last 40 years. She is beaten by Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana.
Ageism has not left her by the wayside - she's not making great music anymore and her desperate and embarrassing behaviour on Instagram is turning people away. And that behaviour is desperate and embarrassing for any age.
0.01% infamous
@@haranoequeen Elizabeth???? You’re delusional. What had the woman done besides stealing from others?
She's a once in a lifetime phenomenon I wish more people would appreciate her while we still have her
Are you not getting from this that she’s a bit of a pri. Ck?
Completely agree 👏
Well said. I think the very same.
Is she still alive?
@@ryansummer546 Your mom?
The Sarah Paulson pic is just way too funny 😂 love her 🥰
Tom's story about Madonna at the very beginning is just awesome
It's great to see how similar Eric and Debra are to their characters in real life. Love their banter :)
Yes, essential celebrity worshiping
Poor Tom Holland, I adore him. All he has to do offer his Lip Sync Battle doing Rhianna’s Umbrella as exhibit A to show Madonna how awesome he is
Madonna is really something, there will never be one like her for real, she set the bar way too high
There is never anyone like anyone.
You must be joking. She's ripped off Marilyn Monroe, Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow, Jane Mansfield....and many more.
@@thinkforyourself828 Yawn you are boring
@@thinkforyourself828 Every artist has influences, for F's sake. Madonna may not be at one of her peaks in her career right now but she has been SO influential to MANY of younger artists, just like others influenced her.
yeahh, but not the singing bar
That photo of Sarah Paulson is f'ing hilarious! 😅
Tom is literally so adorable only he would do that with Madonna 😂
0:00 Tom Holland 2:22 Madonna 3:47 RuPaul and Benedict Cumberbatch 4:44 Nicki Minaj 5:47 Eric McCormack and Debra Messing 8:03 Madonna 9:03 Maggie Gyllenhaal 10:51 Sarah Paulson
Thank you
thank you
who’s staring at maggie? she’s so sweet
Thank you, I can see Madonna right now without that boy.
Who is the guy next to Nicki Minaj?
The Sarah Paulson one is hilarious 😂
And Madonna's on tour again!!!!! 2023 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Sarah Paulson one was the best
Madonna's first appearance on the show was pretty good, there was some fun banter between her and Graham - the second appearance? jesus you could cut the tension with a knife, bless Ian McKellen for bringing some life back into the party
I was surprised she agreed to sit among the commoners. She'd never do that on her hey days.
@@JoeKaye959 yeah, but those days are over
I was at the recording and it was even worse than what was shown on TV. She was dissmissive of the others guests and just zoned out whenever the conversation wasn't about her. Also everytime there was break where they played clips or something she had like 6 people walk out to help her with make up and costume.
@@MikeMJPMUNCH you brave soul - tbh to this day it's one of the only episodes of this show I just can't rewatch, which is a shame because all of the other guests were great (Himesh Patel put on one hell of a brave face, bless him)... and then Madonna shows up
@@cosmefulanitoo2625 honestly I think COVID really threw things off-kilter for a while, but things have been looking up for the most part, like for instance there was an episode this year with Kenneth Branagh, Vicky McClure, Rachel Zegler and Rose Matafeo that was hilarious hopefully this upcoming series (whenever it gets announced) will bring back the red sofa, provided it's safe enough by then
Queen of the pop all the time Madonna !!!!
Benidict Cumberbatch is a straight savage 😂🙌
Yes, his story was hilarious! "Anyway, I didn't get the part..." lol!
11:19 it’s interesting how all those women are sitting there knowing how influential Madonna is like it’s insane how famous Madonna used to be. Like the whole world has stories about Madonna.
I adore Madonna. She's iconic. Thank u 4 this video!
Rihanna losing it over Sarah Paulson’s story gives me so much joy 😂
Sarah’s all of us if we got to see Madonna that close! 💗
Nope, Madonna's a raggedy old c*nt. She's been rude AF her entire career.
11:45... and her acknowledging Sarah back. 😂😂😂
She is showbiz deity. Periodt.
Carter's laughter cracks up every single time.i mean every single time!
She's such a rock star. Love her.
Who else is stuck in the never ending loop of The Graham Norton show 👀
Great Madonna clips 👍 thanks for posting, I'm soo missing Graham Norton show!I'm counting the days for the new series!xx
Absolutely love these stories!
This was good, except when she seemed like she was sad and stressed out talking about the parenting challenges that are overshadowed by how famous she is. There are likely not many people who have ever had to face the kind of challenges she probably had to go through.
Yeah, I though she looked a little sad and stressed about the older kids too. I remember when she once said the worst thing she ever did was when she gave her older kids phones - they stopped talking to her, totally lost them. Totally agree, Madonna - same thing happened here and I remember those words often.
That was absolutely fabulous. 💯
That Sarah Paulson Pic is iconic 😅❤️
I love that talk show hosts equalize Madonna with the rest of us.😄
but I can sing much better 👍🏾
Madonna looks really good damn!
Love Madonna!♥️♥️🥰🥰
Tom Holland Is so adorable. 🥰
the one from Sarah is hilarious.
Love that expression at 3:31. there is so much different emotion there. lol
I wonder if Madonna and Kylie will ever be in the same GN show... They need to collaborate together already. Two living legends of pop!
Kylie is a two hit wonder in the states. Will never happen,
@@jessiesecrest3211 everywhere else she's an icon, Over 85 million records without the USA is quite the achievement
@@jessiesecrest3211 , You do know Madonna already asked Kylie to perform with her before, and from some reason it didn't work... It can happen, and I believe it will!
Honnestly, and I'm not making a joke, Who's Kylie?
@@yans.3908 the first female artist to have number 1's in 5 different decades.
She's the one and only Madonna
Loved the clips
I love Sarah Paulson even more now.
The whole world to know you by your first name shows her impact . May be younger generation doesn't know her. But older generation grew up listening to her music so much so if we say Maddona everyone will think about her not the real one Maddona the Virgin Mary
Sarah Paulson is AWESOME
Você pode me descrever o que ela conta? Não sei inglês.
6:26 Eric had time that day 🤣🤣 what a scorching read
TOM.H had the best story...... can you imagine... Dancing with madonna on the dance floor, & than just walk away from Madonna, leaving her alone at the dance floor.... LOL i i can't with tom holland 😂🤣
I don’t think there’s that many stores of Madonna but I’d suggest next time Tom Hanks is on the show ask him about his experience working with Madonna on A League Of Their Own (1992) movie not the show on Sky TV
Tell us
Loved it ❤️🌹👍🏻
My favorite lady in the biz. 💕 Def helps to break boundaries even now at 63💋 Thank you #queenmadonna
The last one got me 😂😂😂
Wanna feel old? ... Tom Holland was born when Madonna was doing Evita
Madonna is the only Queen that matters. 🌟♥️🌟
She had an unbelievable run...it's really done. Now a sad sad sad story
I've seen interviews about Madonna and will and grace and they said totally different
Ooh I never thought Maggie Gylenhal was attractive but she is so cute here
Love that last clip hahaha
The Queen of Pop 👑 👑 👑
Forever and ever 💅
Queen of Pop with maluma? Tokisha?? She is not anymore honey :*
@@bastian_x.x kakakakkakakakakaka. Sorry!
nar
Lol this show is so funny! Most of the guests are more neurotic than Woody Allen, but the end result is hilarious and totally liberating! An example where "the whole is bigger than the parts"! Lol😺
Wow that couch at the end there what an A list of actresses; plus Rhianna.
I super love this
Madonna...❤🦄
Benedict and Sarah paulson are son funny! love them!
👑 Madonna
Mmm Madonna’s Kabbalah’s name was Esther.
iconic
Madonna : Pop Icon Goddess
Ru Paul had the best line: "The only fan of Madonna is Madonna". I love her music yet the bigger she became, so did the ego.
Madonna! Always and forever 😢😢😢❤❤❤
She talks about social media being evil and takes over their lives. She is the one who spends the most time on there. Filming everything she does
If I ever get a chance to meet Madonna or just get a glimpse of her walking by I will literally break something will just stop working 😂
Tom Howard such hilarious guy and cute while last video can't stop laughing
Holland
Thanks.
I'm that generation to who Madonna is and will always be the queen of pop, like Michael Jackson was the king of pop, Elvis was the king of rock n' roll and the greatest band of all time was The Beatles. There are plenty of other legendary and true superstar artists but for me she is one of the very few true icons, indeed a living legend, no matter what she is doing these days. Also had a great laugh at some of these 😂 Just my 2 cents 🙂✌🏻️
Madonnaaaaaaaaaaa❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
woa Maggie’s such a jewel
Love Madonna!
Ayubowaw.... 👍💐😘💞👌🌍✌️👊🙏🙏🙏🙏
These people are younger than Madonna and most of their fame is on a down swing and 35 years from their peek they will be completely forgotten
40 já e lotando os locais dos shows
Madonna rules this world. Love you.
Not even close.
3:40 I blushed omg
Eric and Debra are so funny and natural. I miss their show!
Madonna is 92 years old this year
Mysterious Madonna 😊
Madonna is awesome but Kylie is absolutely amazing & a true artist as well A living legend
😂😂😂😂😂 Tom Holland, Deb Messing, Eric McCormack, and Sarah Paulson wins! So funny!!!
Ru always with the tea
Madonna's persona is a reminder of Betty Davis.
How beautiful is Kylie ❤❤❤
Tom Holland with the aquanaut 👍🏻
I love that Kylie is there and Tom freaking Holland is the one with a Madonna story (the rumor that they don't get along is fun!)
Kylie and Madonna love each other. She’s repeatedly said how much she admires M and M has even worn Kylie shirts on stage performances. I don’t know where any rumours are but I think people just like to create feuds between women just for sexist reasons
Kylie and Madonna?????? They love each other.
Madonna even invited kylie to be her special guest at her australia tour but kylie rejected. Madonna sing kylie's cant get you out of my head.
Madonna has to meet Kylie Minogue in the Graham Norton show.
