Anyone watching her on Graham Norton? She isn't coming across well in my opinion. The general consensus on Twitter seems to agree. Just watched it now. God she was hard work and hard to like. |

I could barely get through the delight of Sir Ian's bit because she was still trying to make it all about her, while at the same time sounding as if she'd rather be anywhere else. And can someone please explain the eye patch?! |

The outfit as a whole was certainly a choice!

Did anybody see her on Graham Norton? One if the rudest, most up herself celebs I've ever seen, didn't treat Sir Ian with the respect he deserved, even made Graham get up to pass her her water for goodness sake!

It was rose champagne which she made a big thing about. And I thought her boobs were going to pop out at any minute. |

Quite honestly I never watch her being interviewed, I've never thought she's a lovely person but I do love her live shows despite the horrendous ticket prices. Somehow Madonna never comes across well when she's doing interviews - I have no idea what she's like in private so try not to judge by what is shown as we all show a different face at work to at home. Mind you, it does remind me of the phrase 'never meet your heroes'!

She was just maintaining her persona as a superstar diva. She did explain her physical awkwardness because she thought her boobs were going to pop out of her corset.
Sir Ian gave no hint of being offended and they joked about the party invitations. In my view she was just sure of her self but self-deprecating at times- she joked about not sharing a sofa.
I'm not a fan of her in interviews but the tweet storm was nonsense as usual.

^Saw Sir Ken many times over the years and met him twice.Genuinely humble and gentle soul.He believed in giving value for money.Once saw him do four hours on stage and still going strong at the end.He used to joke that when his gigs finally finished patrons could get a lift home on the morning milkman’s cart. Sir Ken also hated a full house. He was convinced if the house was full, the tickets had been priced too cheaply. |

She was just interviewed by Rylan on The One Show and came over far better than on Graham Norton.
Maybe because it was just her and didn't have to share the spotlight with anyone else.
Rylan actually did a good job.

Rylan actually did a good job. This was a genuinely enjoyable interview. She seemed relaxed, chatty and just like she wanted to be there. |

Gutted it’s so long until the London run , but hopefully it will be a well oiled machine by then, with a song change or two along the way. The NYC shows are all mobile free shows: they give you a pouch to lock your phone and smart watch in, and you have to go to a dedicated part of the theatre to get them unlocked. Madonna seems to be coming onstage late this far - 3 hours for the first, and then Ticketmaster emailed everyone for the second show to tell them she would be on stage no earlier than 10pm... and they weren’t kidding: 17th Sept : 10:40pm 18th Sept : 10.45pm 19th Sept : 11.05pm Madonna enters the crowd three times so far - she comes down to the front row to sit in a deliberately empty seat and speaks to the person in the next seat (apparently teasing them about having no access to their phone ha), she dances in the aisle during one song and walks up the aisle during the last number as her exit.
She also uses a Polaroid on stage to take a selfie, and is selling the photo there and then: it seems to be at least partly staged for a celebrity to buy it, but not always. Also the $10 dollar day seats seem to be reserved for fan club members only: to win one in NYC, you have to email in a photograph of you making an ‘X’ with your fingers and your membership details. |

These late starts are a problem - I remember at her most recent Manchester concert she had to work incredibly hard to win round the audience after starting just after 10:00pm (yes, technical issues but as an audience we didn't know that!) and in Edinburgh she started late and cut the show so she would meet the curfew. You should never rely on public transport if attending a Mage concert that is not in central London. Surely it cannot be that hard to start at a reasonable time.

Yes I agree, no matter who you are it shows a total lack of respect to your audience. Having seen Madonna several times she has always been late. Am seeing her in London too and had hoped that it would be more to time. Not much chance there!!

The Madonna in Manchester disaster could have been eased by the arena making an announcement about technical issues. Instead we were stuck waiting for an age and when people started protesting they just turned the warm-up music up! Why not just announce technical difficulties?!
As for the late starts for this one, why?!! People will be traveling far and wide to London. It’s not on at all if people don’t know where they stand re timings. Downright rude. What’s the issue? Can she only perform having watched the ten o’clock news?

Good grief!
Still, it will free the evening up to see another show. They mostly finish between 10 and 10:30!

3 hours late on stage in NYC last night. My friend was there. Punters left the theatre at 01.45.
This is why I’ve given up on Madonna live. The last two tours I saw she was unreasonably late but 3 hours is taking the absolute piss out of fans.
Lockdown on phones too.

The phone thing I can deal with.
The sheer arrogance of messing around with loyal fans and people who’ve stumped up HUNDREDS is appalling. And when there is a genuine reason for lateness no one will take it seriously.
From what I’ve heard the show is AMAZING and my cousin thought it was fantastic. I was planning to see it in London based on this feedback but now... no way. I’d genuinely like to know why she does this. Because to do it and not show guilt at all... that ain’t human.
And she still owes me a ton of money from the third of the concert she didn’t perform in Manchester.
