In Case You Missed It…
Filed under: MadonnaMadonna (in her best British accent) was on the Today show this morning.
And, she was NOT talking about her upcoming album.
Instead, M was speaking eloquently about her son, David, Malawi, the orphans, adoption, her new documentary and much more.

I wish she had talked about her album…I am glad I Tivo'ed Mariah, instead…but I liked this, too.
Madonna is the friggin bomb. All the losers that say she's fake or put her down - you don't get to her level of fame by accident. She didn't sleep her way there either - she worked her ass off and made her own fame and fortune. And she didn't use anyone any more than a man would have. I don't even hear a British accent - maybe a word or two so what. Stop hatin' and being jealous.
What British accent? She speaks as eloquently as she looks! She is a smart woman.
WHILST….lol….what a pretentious cunt…your from Jersey you dumb fuck.
My favorite part was when HER MADGESTY used the word "whilst," well that and when she referred to herself as "one." It's hard to imagine a human being could be so fierce, that's what I was thinking whilst listening to this interview. MOORIAH isn't fit to clean the bidet (that's a toilet just for ladies, for all you skankers out there!) on MADONNA'S private jet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'M GOING TO LET ALL OF YOU PEOPLE KNOW SOMETHING VERY GROUNDBREAKING AND VERY TRUE ABOUT MADONNA. MADONNA IS A MIND CONTROLL VICTIM. MADONNA IS A PAWN SHE IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN USED SINCE SHE HAS BEEN IN THE LIMELIGHT AS A PAWN FOR THE EVIL THAT ENCOMPASES OUR WORLD. AND PEREZ YOU ACTUALLY HAD THE AUDACITY TO COMAPRE HER TO JESUS, I DONT THINK SO. HER WANTING TO CHANGE HER NAME TO ESTHER, DO YOU KNOW THE TRUTH BEHIND THAT, AND A LOT OF THINGS SHE DOES FOR THAT MATTER?. i'VE EVEN SEEN PICTURE OF MADONNA WEARING A JACKET WITH ALL SEEING EYE PYRAMID COVERING THE WHOLE BACK OF THE JACKET, ALL I CAN SAY IS PEOPLE STOP LISTINING TO AND SUPPORTING MADONNA, IF YOU KNOW WHATS GOOD FOR YOU, SHE IS WIERD AND CREEPY FOR A REASON, BELIEVE ME WHEN I TEL YOU.
why is she the narrator ? She has a horribly hilarious annoying voice.
Anne curry is so cheesy

Perez, enough with Madonna already! I wish she would realize she was much cooler when she was a dance chick from Detroit. This whole lady of the manor thing is so ridiculous.
Love what she's doing (with regard to AIDS and Africa). Lose the accent, love.
SHE IS GOD!
SHE IS THE PERFECT ROLE MODEL TO FOLLOW
#104-at least you think SHE MADE herself famous!
No, she's speaking in an American accent, but she pronounces some words as us English do.
she's fucking amazing.
cheek implants
… speaks w/out moving her mouth–"WHILE'st" she says? Bloody hell. Madge gets more and more pretentious w/age (and that's sayin' somethin'). When the hell is this old broad going to go away for god's sake?
HOT
although she did not speak about her new album, it's no coincidence she gave this interview at the time of it's release. what a dumb bitch.
p.s. nice accent, cooze.
I HAVE SO NUCH LOVE FOR HER, I WISH SHE COULD KNOW HOW MUCH SHE'S HELPED ME THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.
MADONNA IS PERFECTION, PEOPLE WHO HATE HER ONLY MASKE HER STRONGER.#
DEAR MADONNA, STAY THE WAY YOU ARE, YOU ARE A GODDESS.
The most annoying thing I have ever heard, the fake accent, the bobble head gestures, the batting eyelids and phony condescending demeanor! Terrible that we listen to these people who have nothing to say and are using every means possible to stay relevant, even the suffering of orphans which she refers to in relation to herself! Geez…the arrogance and narcissism is beyond comprehension. It takes a truly self-centered narcissist to take the plight of others and use it as a means of self-promotion! At least the orphans are getting some assistance, but whatever happened to giving anonymously without gaining massive public praise for doing what any decent person would do if they had millions of dollars for singing crappy songs???
#113-that is blasphemy, and if you FEAR GOD like you should, you should watch what you say, comments of your kind WONT be taken lightly.
AND WHY ARE PEOPLE BEING HORRIBLE ABOUT HER HAVING AN ENGLISH ACCENT, SHE HAS LIVED HERE IN THE UK FOR YEARS NOW.
IN THE FEW TIMES THAT I HAVE BEEN ON HOLIDAYS TO THE US, I HAVE COME BACK WITH A SLIGHT AMERICAN ACCENT AND THAT'S JUST AFTER A FEW WEEKS.
LANGUAGE EXPERTS SAY THAT IMITATING OTHER PPL'S ACCENTS IS NOT DELIBERATE BUT IT DOES SHOW THAT YOU EMPATHISE WITH PEOPLE.
HER ACCENT IS SEXY, I LOVE HER.
Madge, I like the whole world (or most of it) absolutely love you and bow to you, BUT, THAT FAKE ACCENT HAS GOT TO GO GIRL!!!!! YOU ARE COMING OFF AS BEING PRETENTIOUS AND IT'S NOT BECOMING BABE…….
She looks gorgeous. This lady has either aged really well, or her plastic surgeon deserves a hefty bonus. Kudos to her for her plight for these kids.
STOP bashing her. The woman has been living in the United Kingdom for a long while now and is married to a Brit!!! The accent has rubbed off on her. You all trying moving to England and trying to remain the same. You change your mannerisms, believe me it's not easy to not blend in.
Madonna is AMAZING!!! A truly beautiful person, who hopefully make a difference in this world.
Madonna is an Amazing person and an Amazing Lady!
Artistcally Madonna is Brilliant!
As a human being Madonna is enlightened and accomplishes much!
Bravo Madonna!
Kudos Madonna!
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE FUCK THIS OVEREXPOSED, SEX OBSESSED GRANDMA FEELS THE NEED TO SPEAK IN A BRITISH ACCENT??? SHE'S FROM FUCKING MICHIGAN! GET OVER YOURSELF BITCH!
"I got to the point in life where I had so much… I just wanted to give something back"….. ahh.. yeah, it would have been pretty disgusting to have just sat on your money and not given any of it away to charity you spoilt bitch.
NADYA!!!! SOMEONE GET NADYA GINSBURG ON THE CASE PLEASE!!
PUKE ON YOU ANNE CURRY AND YOUR PHONEY SACCHARIN SINCERITY. YOU ARE DISGUSTING AND DISINGENUOUS.
Did you see it!?!?! If you look closely, you can see her eyebrows move at 4:10.
Madonna, stop being so fake…arent you from Jersey or something? You need stop with that ridiculous accent, it makes you look disingenuine….and like and idiot.
It's more about how it's a revelation to her, than about the people themselves. Welcome to the real world, stupid cunt, just stick to your music! She'd better give whole her fortune to Malawi…
I'm British, she doesn't sound like me…..
AHHHHHHH….What a breath of fresh air……A true Legend. Someone that can live up to their hype. Can Madonna make being the biggest selling most influential female singer of all time look an easier? This Bitch is Fierce!
This is what Fierce looks like when you don't have to rely on contests, gimmicks or manipulating the charts to achieve success. Madonna never had a breakdown or needed to turn to drugs because she never needed Payola, gimmicks or contests to further her career or define her worth.
Lets all take a minute to bow our head & pay our respects to THE TRUE BIGGEST SELLING FEMALE SINGER OF ALL TIME….QUEEN MADGE!
god, she's amazing.
and that's not a british accent, she's just speaking with poise and eloquence.
I say, old girl, that's quite a large load of horse puckey…..
I'm sorry but…I reallly really don't like her fakeness..
Re: Kaye – IT'S ACTUALLY AN ENGLISH ACCENT DUMASS AND SHE HAS THE ACCENT BECAUSE HER HUSBAND IS ENGLISH AND BECAUSE SHE HAS LIVED IN ENGLAND FOR NEARLY A DECADE, HER KIDS HAVE ENGLISH ACCENTS, I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I HAVE MET LOLA VERY BRIEFLY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
SHE IS SURROUNDED BY ENGLISH PPL DAY IN DAY OUT, I THINK IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR HER NOT TO PICK UP THE ACCENT.
Say what you want about Madonna, but I believe she is sincere and probably one of the best celebrity mothers out there.
LOL. English accent?
for real?
you guys need your ears tested…
you're probably all the types that can't tell the difference between English and Australian, or Canadian and American.
Why would i want to hear her fake british accent? why would i want to look at her 50 year old fucked up face? why would I care if she was on the Today show? Why does what she say have any value at all? Why would I keep asking myself questions?
but I digress…
Madonna news is so Old Perez.!!! You have your head jammed so far up her A$$ that they're finding pollups on her nose. Cut it out already,… your so fat and Ugly you talk so much crap about other people have you looked at your ugly fat messy self lately?
Madonna is such a phony. I have been married to a British man for years, and I have not "adopted" a British accent. I loathe Madonna Louise Ciccone Penn Ritchie. What a pretentious cow.
OMFG NOW I KNOW WHERE BRITNEY GETS IT FROM! Her fucking wacked out accent that she does all the time…she gets it from Madonna.
She does seem sort of phoney…I dont really notice an accent though…
Re: bobit – erm she's actually from detroit
why are americans so fucking stupid, is it genetic?
Re: ITS TRUE –
honey you need to lay off the crack
people should watch out for your paranoid ass.
She's not speaking in a British accent, morons! She's anunciating…there's a difference. Wish most people could speak that well.
No BRITISH accent at All..
FIRST!!
Even in her good works she comes across as enormously self-involved: I, I, I, I, . . . .
Last time I checked those of us that either live or are from the great state of Michigan don't speak with that type of accent…she must be horrendously insecure to not be able to ever portray the real woman. It also illustrates her self-hatred for where she came from. I enjoy her music from time to time, but her constant need to "re-invent" and pretend she is something she is not is getting too tiring to bear. Just be yourself Madge…
She is beautiful & amazing but the in and out British accent reminds me so much of Kevin Costner in Robin Hood with his "fake" accent". Decide Madonna…you are so in and out with that accent it was just freaking weird!!
Eloquent. Refreshing that she has evolved to this point in a world where celebrities tend to crash and burn. As Americans we have lost our language skills. The English still have them. She lives in England, her accent is not fake, but is acquired, What is fake is the middle class American youth talking like ghetto blacks, now that is fake and so funny! When we better ourselves we are open to scorn, when we act like idiots we are accepted by our peers as normal. Think about it. High five Madonna.
Re: Bee – oh gee i dont know maybe because she has lived in london for 10 years you stupid cunt
I don't hear a British accent Perez!! Madonna has always spoken that way douch bag!
Re: EJL – Oh, snap. That is the funniest thing I've read all day!
I am not a fan of plastic surgery, but MAN DID SHE HAVE SOME GOOD WORK DONE! She looks more like Marlena Dietrich as she gets older. Maybe it's the hair. In any event, I love Madonna with all her faults. She could just pull a J.Lo and live large, but she is trying to give back. People are too hard on her just because she is a powerful outspoken woman.
what she said about her lonely childhood, the children in malawi and wisdom is more important than her accent. she one of the few intelligent celebrities.
Too bad she didn't get one of THOSE orphans. Her kid HAD a family. Her face is frozen. that fake accent is a killer- and she actually USED the word WHILST. That was unbelievable. She needs to stop being such a hypocrite. There are kids here with no parents from drug abuse and aids. She acts as if she is suddenly a LADY. what a joke.
I hear you've been using my name, and I am pissed. Watch out.
Wow, that accent isn't doing here any good…worse by far, i must say…!!!! LOL
I thought when people said shes talking in british accent i thought she was just using slang i.e. apartment/flat. she is out of her mind her and tommy "my lifes a" cruise should fly back xenu
liar liar pants on fire.
BOYCOTT madonna =AMERICAN HATER HYPOCRITE.Angelina wannabe.
yeah madonna is a piece of fucking waste for the fuckin world. shes from ohio, NOT BRITAIN OR ENGLAND OR WHATEVER SHE FUCKIN IS FROM. MY MOM KNOWS HER PERSONALLY. SHE IS FROM OHIo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
C'mon lambs. Stop hating. I'm just as sick of Perez hating on Mariah as you (lambs) hating on Madonna. There's a bigger issue here than who's better or who sells more or who has more hits. The AIDS epidemic in Africa is one of the biggest tragedies in the history of man and all you do is talk about Madonna's accent, her age or what not. Grow up, wake up and get involved.
Madonna is busy doing this while Mariah is busy lip-syncing, polishing her pig hooves or pushing out a huge pile of piggy shit in order to fit into newest hooker outfit.
While Madonna is busy making a film about people less fortunate old pig face Mariah is making YouTube clips of how everyone is jealous or her.
YOU ARE NOT BRITISH. SO DROP THE DUMBASS FAKE ACCENT STUPID BITCH!!!
Ummmm…….nothing about the way she was speaking sounded British to me in any way!! That's how Madonna has always spoken for the last 20 years. Maybe if I was from the US I would have thought that!!
Madonna is so amazing. She continues to be an amazing performer and has now shown that she's also a great humanitarian. I love her and think years from now, she will still hold the worlds attention. Few can claim 25 years at the top. Then, theirs that nasty Mariah Carey. Mariah better shut her chuncky face and stop saying bad things about Madonna. I think Mariah getting caught lipsyncing on the today show is her karma for being such an evil cow.
this woman is so full of it….she is partnering with her kabbalah centre when she is helping these children. she gives them water, food, medicine…… in exchange for their souls…so its working out well.
as for her own family, please, she has at least one nanny!!! she isn't around enough to know her family. her career comes first, always has always will…selfish, ignorant ass…and please stop talking as if you know so much and the rest of the world are idiots..your ramblings are either hocus pocus nonsense or commom sense crap most of us learned by the age of ten. give it up already
Re: balloon deflating – guess you're overinflated and ugly
Re: Bella – you talk an absolute load of crap
are you that stupid or that US blind that you don't realise that when people live with others in another country who speak with a local accent/dialetic for a significant period of time (8 or 9 years) that their accent changes…jesus f…ing christ…look outside of the box…im from SE London and to me she just sounds American but posh American…
It's rare to hear someone that professes to be heavily into the spiritual world use the word I…three and 4 times in every sentence.
Even though I think Madonna can occasionally be self-righteous and abrasive, I give her so much credit for not only evolving and maturing as a person, but also for trying to help the people of Malawi. I believe her when she says she had an epiphany in regard to her own experience without a mother and that of the orphans because she does seem radically different. Good for her for trying to raise awareness, good for David for being adopted by a loving mother who is able to provide a nice life for him, and good for this world for having Madonna. She has changed and shaped this world in many ways and she is only getting better and kinder with age.
HI THIS IS MADONNA.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MY ACCENT ALL THE TIME ?
TRY LIVING IN ANOTHER ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRY FOR MANY YEARS. PLUSS MARRY AN ENGLISH MAN, AND DON'T PICK UP BITS & PIECES OF THE WAY THEY TALK ?!
DON'T YOU HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DISCUSS ? BESIDES ME HAVING AN ACCENT………………………
JESUS GET A LIFE
AMERICAN LIFE
I love her.. she will always and forever be an inspiration to me
Re: Bella – She still sounds American with just a very slight English accent. Perfectly normal for someone who has lived over there for the last 10 years. PS, you are a imbecile!
Her and Paltrow are both pathetic. They can both stay the hell out of the US.
She has worked in some kind of English 'lilt' to her speech, but I'm certain it's just her trying to sound English. My husband lived in England for four years and he didn't come home saying 'whilst'.
She's from goddam Detroit, this 'holier than thou' crap is just that…crap! If she went home and adopted some poor crack baby from Detroit's east side, that'd be more commendable.
Well….
I am not a "true blue " fan but hey
she is a pioneer and I believe her
Shes a lucky lady and the fact that she will give back is more than most of the lame assed people on this site can say they do
My self included
Of course Perez too
We should all take an example from her….
And if I had the hot Husband that she has I would talk with a Faux accent too
I just wanted to add that most people (myself included) can be extremely hard on Madonna only because she has a tendency to touch on all of our emotions and inhibitions, which is why I believe we have been so fascinated by her for 25 years. She stirs us by being so unapologetically curious about all aspects of human nature and that is what artists are put here for. At times she pisses me off, at times I think she is adorable, fun, and wonderful, but neutrality is not something that she provokes in most of us. I am glad she is still at it because there will never be another performer like her.
Re: cassie –
OHIO?
The truth is, this cunt hasn't had a fab-u-lous hit since "Holiday". How she keeps clawing her way to stay in the music business, is not based on her talent. Because she has no exceptional musical or acting abilities, she relies on exploiting her sexuality. Woman have been doing this for thousands of years. It's called prostitution.
Re: musiccriticshavenotalent –
Like a said regarding my jab at her slutty image: "In case you don't know what that means, I'm saying that her status as an icon allows her to produce music and make headlines; this status as an icon has nothing to do with talent and everything to do with effective branding."
Madonna is a corporate brand NOT a talent.
very keyed and to the point loved the interview; good for her.
she is doing it for money its not her passion her albums were not doing good two years ago so now she is using african children as a source of gaining more money and popularity.you see like angelina jolie, thats her passion but maddona why is she doing it now ?a fourty something old botox woman .how come she did not do it before .in her career se stepped and used everybody in order forherself to sell now she has found africa as the stepping stone iam from africa but a citizen here and not buying maddona how many films has she made which did not go anywhere?now like jessicas dad using ashley pregn for money maddona is using her baby for promoting her cd,her documentary,her oldy botox face,her under yellow hair and what is next.you see the way paris hilton is stepping on her friend so she can emerge as this talented bitch that is what maddona did i rather buy mariah cd because it makes me feel better about myself and mysex life rather that buying this stupid cd,thats why she is using justin wanna be michael jackson so she can more for ass botox.perez i love u but pls let maddona read this and ask her how come she did not adopt long time a go she wonna be agelina jolie now tell her to keep on showing bogus documentary about innocent suffering african kids for her own bennefit it makes me feel sorry for many people.everybitch who want to make money go to africa why?
Someone shove a cock in that old cow's mouth. That'll shut her up WHILST I fuck the nanny in the ass.
Re: Hillary Clinton –
Except now that she is old and disgusting and filled with as much botox as she is filled with the cum of hundreds of men, Madonna is relying on exploiting world issues like the issue of AIDS in Africa to propel her CD to the top of the charts.
Not a sincere or informative word about the desperate situation in Malawi or other parts of Africa. No, it's more about how generous and enlightened Madonna thinks she is. Please, spare us your self-aggrandizing bullshit. Real humanitarians get very little praise or recognition for their efforts, but they do it in obscurity and at great personal risk anyway.
Madonna should just continue with what she's good at…wearing designer clothes, working out, and being an icon for homos the world over.
I don't hear a british accent:)
hey P!! all i have to say if people can look beyond the fact that Madonna used to be the "material girl", the "erotica" person standing naked on the street's of Santa Monica, Ca, and forget the fact that they don't like her music.. if one can see that we all go through change in our lives, she just happened to do it in the public eye. and bottom line?… she's a human being looking to help other human beings. i don't think reaching out to your fellow man is overrated or overexposed. if i had her fame and fortune i would be doing the same. and even though i don't i still would do it. it's called evolution of the human spirit and soul.. people should try it they might come to know their true potential!!! thank's P for the platform.. xoxo "ehm" xoxo
EWWW… STOP with the FAKE ASS accent already. You would be AWESOME if you would just speak naturally. PLEASE STOP
she's truly amazing…..
She had lived in Enlgand for years, of course she's going to have a little accent…
Enough already…..its like beating a dead horse. Go Madonna….go away!
She is dumb and sounds so lamewith that fake accent ahahahahahahhaa what a dumb prostitute
What an idiot Does she think that having a (phony) accent will make her seem more intelligent?? She's still the same DUMB ASS she's always been! Hang it up Madonna….you're TIRED!
HEY, I NEED YOUR HELP. CAN YOU GO TO VOTE FOR MY MOM, SHE'S A GREAT MILITARY MOM, SHE VOLUNTEERS 24/7 365 AND SAVED LIVED BY PUTTING OUT AN APYT FIRE, GETTIN HURT HERSELF. ONLY 12 HOURS LEFT!

Hey Kaye you are even dumber than Madonna. She was in her 40's when she went to live in London which means theres no way that at her old age can she adopt an accent. Only kids who are under 13 will adopt an accent if they move to a different country. She is way too old to be able to naturally change the way she speaks. Since I'm not an uneducated slut like Madonna and have a brain, shecan't fool me.
