even though looking back, her "Erotica" Phase was one of her most artistic & ground breaking & that's what she wanted it to be seen as. She was was just ahead of her time (as always).
I love how the only other female in the room laughed when she said "why can't I have a baby and not settle down?" Look where we are today. It's not uncommon for women to have children and go straight back to work. We have working mothers thanks to feminist pioneers like Madonna. She did it. She had a child and continued to maintain her career. She wasn't relegated to a man's kitchen to raise his children and have his dinner on the table by 6pm. Good on her. Strong woman.
I love this interview. I noticed a few things, she's more simple, her maturity is just starting to ripen, and she's less defensive at times, and you can tell she developed openly a sense of humor about herself- in truth or dare you could see that, but in interviews it seemed she took herself a bit too seriously, which in this interview and all the girlie show interviews you can see she shed that to the public eye. I absolutely love her during this era.The ever evolving Madonna hahaha =)
madonn looks like another person with that look and face, it looks like she has a surgery because after 80's beside of her look and I love this time because Madonna was really a rebellious, in 90's she became more experimental, she used sex and later she started to sing about spirituality and mysticism with ray of light, but her last albums are not really like that, Madonna experiment with some new music but it's the same electronic, Madonna from 90's was a creative woman
man y dosen't she come back 2 Australia we would luv her here agian we would uve 2 see here here in Adelaide coz we live here and we've always wanted 2 c a madonna concert
At this point, she could easily fall into the trap like Michael with child-abuse accusations, Whitney with crack... But she didnt allow that. She rose up from her, well, 'mistake' and became popular again. I haven't seen any human being with such determination and strength like that.
@enquvist i was also in the 3rd last row at the Melbourne concert! kinda sucked considering the cost of the ticket, but better than not being there at all. The main problem is it looked like she was lip syncing because the sound had to travel so far lol
I saw her Sydney Girlie Show concert at the cricket place. I was in the 3rd last row and Madonna was the size of a pea, I watched most of the show via the video screen!!
i hated that haircut on her, but damn i loved what she was doing back then. I like to call this her "ugly" phase - she was determined to prove herself as an artist, and not some blondie with a sexy bellybutton. She succeeded.
I didn't say he didn't get the joke. He didn't think the joke was very funny. English is not my first language so I thought saying he didn't take it meant he didn't find it nice.
Ya know what's really weird about his is Madonna or any other USA star can go to Paris and speak few words of French, sing and speak the rest in English, and people still enjoy it. Try having a French, Asian, or Italian music star do that in USA. It would never work. Everything they spoke and sang would have to be English.
@scarypoultry Yeah I remember everything being out of sync (the music and the video screen) but I got the Girlie Show on DVD and weirdly enough she WAS miming during the opening number (Erotica), it's so obvious when you watch the DVD. I think she was singing the rest of the time but the first number was definitely a mime job. Quite odd !
Alternative Look? You sound young by your assessment, like you weren't around. This look was more high fashion. Madonna was the trendsetter then. She inspired what people wore. Everyone wants to sound like a critic these days, but your points weren't even insightful or of decent quality. Nirvana wasn't as big in 92' as they were in 93' anyways
It looks bad. Sorry. Madonna could look really good at times, but she liked to keep changing and sometimes it didn't work for her. "IMO," which goes without saying

Actually this was in 1993, the year of the Girlie Show.
Madonna looks like her younger sister Paula in this interview.
OMG that's so true
Thank you so much for posting. This is actually from late 1993, while Madonna was on "The Girlie Show" world tour.
Love this look on her. I'm so in love with how short hair looks on her.
Here, she looks a bit linke her second third.... cousin Ellen DeGeneres.
'I got to pay the rent!' Fudge that was awesome!!

why can't i have a baby and not settle down? SHE SAID IT!!!! AND SHE DID IT!!
At this point, she could easily fall into the trap like Michael with child-abuse accusations, Whitney with crack... But she didnt allow that. She rose up from her, well, 'mistake' and became popular again. I haven't seen any human being with such determination and strength like that.

Year is wrong. This was in 1993
I saw her Sydney Girlie Show concert at the cricket place. I was in the 3rd last row and Madonna was the size of a pea, I watched most of the show via the video screen!!
@JulioGomezNYC yeh its 1993 coz the tour footage cant possibly be from 1992, and she didnt have short hair until 1993 as well
Omgosh she looks like Tank Girl.
i hated that haircut on her, but damn i loved what she was doing back then. I like to call this her "ugly" phase - she was determined to prove herself as an artist, and not some blondie with a sexy bellybutton. She succeeded.
It's about 1993 to be precise!
fucking love her outfit
I thought it might be as i remember it at the time but then when i watched it again he mentions about her upcoming tour of Australia so yeah *shrug*
Technically this is 1993
why is she perfect, :$ ❤
Hey, I wore that same giant curly blond wig for Halloween 4 years ago!
She looks like Paula in this interview
she looks like ellen
@Jako32 She always looks up at the ceiling during interviews, its kind of her thing.
That was the fun Madonna. Not the MADONNA of today.
What is she looking at? I ave never seen her look up so much
What does she say in the start of the performance? "Hello Paris......" and then what? :)
*Are you coming back to OZ, Madonna? promises!:))
I love the erotica era.
lol the last part
French accent? I didn't notice anything.
Why does she always look up at the ceiling when she speakes
Sarah Li because that is where the illuminati sends their answers for her to say
Dressed up as flies, true.....
I tend to look up when I am thinking
my look in the left direction with left eye
and visual
I am mainly a picture,visual thinker
Timothy P lolz 😂
When you think, where do you look?
Where's Waldo?
Would have been cute if she was wearing a hat lol
1993
lol just when i thought i saw all her looks :D, cute!
This look is very Paula Ciccone.
I don't know about that where is waldo sweater. Lol
WoW she looked way older than 34 years old here schoking
Why does she always look at the ceiling?
The ending... so awkward. He didn't take the joke. lol
+5039452 looks like Crimson didn't get that he DID get the joke, lol
I didn't say he didn't get the joke. He didn't think the joke was very funny. English is not my first language so I thought saying he didn't take it meant he didn't find it nice.
***** OK, English is not your first language. That's understandable that you didn't understand the sarcasm
:/
I adore Madonna and thats coming from a little monster.
No way is this 1992
93
I don't know about you but I worship Madonna :)
1:38 - 2:00
4:05 - 4:21
Its strange she's trying to roll her eyeballs like into the top of her head when talking ... is she going to faint ?
Ya know what's really weird about his is Madonna or any other USA star can go to Paris and speak few words of French, sing and speak the rest in English, and people still enjoy it. Try having a French, Asian, or Italian music star do that in USA. It would never work. Everything they spoke and sang would have to be English.
Well, when your rent costs as much as a new luxury car every month, hmmm. Gotta keep the millions rolling in to have her kind of high life.
Hello Paris ! Vous êtes prêts ? Est-ce que tu crois en l'amour ? which means 'Hello Paris ! Are you ready ? Do you believe in love ?'
Madonna looks like her sister Paula in this interview.
true true true
@scarypoultry Yeah I remember everything being out of sync (the music and the video screen) but I got the Girlie Show on DVD and weirdly enough she WAS miming during the opening number (Erotica), it's so obvious when you watch the DVD. I think she was singing the rest of the time but the first number was definitely a mime job. Quite odd !
"Who's fuckin' Madonna?!"
Looks like Mia Farrow :)
+ « What A M ... Nice Haircut !! »
100% X3
Nyc
MUSiQ
@mirella99 me too!!
not evem madonna rule seperate
no, that's lady gag.
:v
We get it, '92, era of Nirvana, time to appear "alternative"...the short hair looks terrible on her though.
Alternative Look? You sound young by your assessment, like you weren't around. This look was more high fashion. Madonna was the trendsetter then. She inspired what people wore. Everyone wants to sound like a critic these days, but your points weren't even insightful or of decent quality. Nirvana wasn't as big in 92' as they were in 93' anyways
She had short hair in 1986 too..When no one knew Nirvana..bye
It looks bad. Sorry. Madonna could look really good at times, but she liked to keep changing and sometimes it didn't work for her. "IMO," which goes without saying
Alternative? She didn't start with the grungey guitars til the 98 album and the 01 tour. In 93 she is plain pop.
Erotica-Sex Era Rocks!!!
her french accent is terrible lol
