That's an interesting point, I had never noticed that. She definitely moved into very artistic/unconventional territory with AL, both musically and lyrically. It's just not an album you expect from the world's most successful pop singer. AL is my favourite Madonna record but it was doomed to fail. People don't want to hear her complain about her privileged life over a distorted folktronica arrangement. Still I think it was a bold move for somebody with her level of fame and popularity.

I vehemently disapprove of how Matt Lauer was asking such condescending questions to Madonna, as well as making hurtful comments to her about her age and relevance to humanity. He is rude, superficial, uncaring, and clearly not a nice person at all. Madonna is an ICON, and her legacy is far more than anything that Matt has, or will ever, accomplish in his lifetime. Let us also keep in mind that just a few years short years later after this interview, Madonna released "Confessions on a Dancefloor," which is one of her best-selling albums of all time. Aside from that album alone, she has had other albums that have all been of stellar quality and sales, and even further, ALL of her tours been equally stellar, enough to make her the biggest female musical touring artist of all time, combined with being the best-selling female artist of all time. Where is Matt now? He just got fired for sexual misconduct, while Madonna is working on new material for a next album and possible tour. Karma in action? I would say so. :) Show less REPLY

Unsurprisingly Madonna was right in the end.

I hope that Madonna will be as artistic as she was during this period of her career and release an brave album that will divide people, but also give her artistic freedom again. The "American Life" album had some great songs on it. Yes, it was not a masterpiece in my opinion, as some of the songs did not life up to her previous standards, but I think that she was brave to make an album with those lyrics. Yes, she did pull the original music video for the "American Life" song, but she did do it because it would mean that she would not get airplay for her singels and people at this time was praising George W. Bush not realising what mistakes he made during his time as president. You can call Madonna whatever you want but she is a smart and intelligent woman. Madonna will always be able to get the press talking about her product no matter what she is trying to sell to the public. I respect Madonna and her legacy. :)

I completely agree. Matt had a very good point here and Madonna wasn't able to answer his question convincingly. Personally I think she pulled the video for personal safety reasons but she didn't want to admit that because it would make her look like a coward. The American Life controversy is a very interesting event in Madonna's career, in my opinion it was the point when she lost her artistic audacity. She has made some very good pop music since then but mostly played it safe.

But the rest of the world has got her back and her music is on the radio all the time and in clubs.

I exactly remember the day when she pulled that video back. As someone who grew up in a war zone and a life long Madonna fan I knew her brand was „cracking“! That was big big mistake! American life was the last time that she impressed me in terms of artistic expression. I have lost my respect for her art and never again did she make a great video after American life! The videos started to look cheaper with each project (yes, the confessions videos wer atrocious) and so did the music turn more and more generic. By the time she started jumping on the bandwagon of what americans call „EDM“ ( for us in Europe it is called „Euro trash“ since the early 90ies) the music was unbearable!

That's an interesting point, I had never noticed that. She definitely moved into very artistic/unconventional territory with AL, both musically and lyrically. It's just not an album you expect from the world's most successful pop singer. AL is my favourite Madonna record but it was doomed to fail. People don't want to hear her complain about her privileged life over a distorted folktronica arrangement. Still I think it was a bold move for somebody with her level of fame and popularity.

It’s 2023 and Madonna likes the weed
I vehemently disapprove of how Matt Lauer was asking such condescending questions to Madonna, as well as making hurtful comments to her about her age and relevance to humanity. He is rude, superficial, uncaring, and clearly not a nice person at all. Madonna is an ICON, and her legacy is far more than anything that Matt has, or will ever, accomplish in his lifetime. Let us also keep in mind that just a few years short years later after this interview, Madonna released "Confessions on a Dancefloor," which is one of her best-selling albums of all time. Aside from that album alone, she has had other albums that have all been of stellar quality and sales, and even further, ALL of her tours been equally stellar, enough to make her the biggest female musical touring artist of all time, combined with being the best-selling female artist of all time. Where is Matt now? He just got fired for sexual misconduct, while Madonna is working on new material for a next album and possible tour. Karma in action? I would say so. :) Show less REPLY

This is from the perspective from Matt Lauer, a narcissistic, sexist white male journalist who can’t handle a strong, talented woman that won’t take his advantages.
Madonna is a powerful woman and to Matt that's a threat.

she has made big impact on this life always got told looked like her
Super under rated album
american life is my first madonna album!
Watching this I can see why she decided not to put out the video for American Life. I knew she had a reason to do so. And the interviewer doesn't seem to get it.
The Guy Ritchie Effect, people like to say Madonna lowest point is now...but truly it was the Guy Ritchie Years whose tiny manhood was always threatened by Madonna thus always trying to "Tame" Madonna
Sadly, when it comes to media coverage of Madonna, it always will be skeptical and critical of her personality, her "missteps" in the public eye. Hardly ever appreciative.
I still have this on vhs, when it first aired back in 2003 :)
I’ve always thought this and people had told me this two when Madonna has her natural hair colour or just dark hair .I find she’s just more real more humbled more free something about it when she has dark hair it’s like she’s a different person I appreciate this Madonna way more the real Madonna also to say she absolutely stunning and dark hair than that was out blonde.
I love her so much
Great video quality! Thanks!
madonna is saying because I have bigger plans, and have more important things to do seems like the wrong people made threats and it got serious
great quality ! thanks

I agree, but unfortunately he was asking what a lot of Americans seemed to question about Madonna at the time. The rest of the world got it, it was a massive success in the UK and Australia, but the US was butt-hurt without looking at it from a greater point of view. Unsurprisingly Madonna was right in the end.
I LOVE HOW SHE SINGS, IT'S MY FAVORITE VOICE I LIKE LISTEN TO
That was rude of him to ask why she thought she was famous. Duhhh! Hello. Anyone can answer that.
🥺❤️❤️🥺🥺She is the smartest in the world, how I love the way she speaks and expresses herself ❤️🥺🥺
I hope that Madonna will be as artistic as she was during this period of her career and release an brave album that will divide people, but also give her artistic freedom again. The "American Life" album had some great songs on it. Yes, it was not a masterpiece in my opinion, as some of the songs did not life up to her previous standards, but I think that she was brave to make an album with those lyrics. Yes, she did pull the original music video for the "American Life" song, but she did do it because it would mean that she would not get airplay for her singels and people at this time was praising George W. Bush not realising what mistakes he made during his time as president. You can call Madonna whatever you want but she is a smart and intelligent woman. Madonna will always be able to get the press talking about her product no matter what she is trying to sell to the public. I respect Madonna and her legacy. :)
SHES AMAZING
i agree...i wasn't a fan of this album....but every so often i'll listen to it and say hmm...it's not so bad...i'll say this...EVERY single one of my lesbian friends...LOVED this album...and after this album I went to the Re-invention Tour and there were TONS of women there...i had never seen that at any of her concerts prior....so i think Madonna spoke to a lot of women during that period

I completely agree. Matt had a very good point here and Madonna wasn't able to answer his question convincingly. Personally I think she pulled the video for personal safety reasons but she didn't want to admit that because it would make her look like a coward. The American Life controversy is a very interesting event in Madonna's career, in my opinion it was the point when she lost her artistic audacity. She has made some very good pop music since then but mostly played it safe.
Yeah She's beautifull Dark hair
you are right as well
she wanted to be herself, not pander but to show her true feelings and not to dismiss anything. In short she was being Madonna we all know and love! Simple!
This is the NBC Dateline Special "Madonna: An American Life"....aired in 2003 after the release of Madonna's 2003 album, "American Life".....if you get the jist of what I am saying...this was 2003...NOT 2005. Thank you!
After hearing of Matt Lauer's accusations of rape and abuse of power, I can see his arrogance in this interview with Madonna. He's so condescending and comes across very sexist and ageist against her. I don't like to see people get brought down but karma is getting to him.

the reporter was not neccesarily giving her a positive review lol
I think this is the last interview she did with Matt Lauer. He even seems a little creepy with some of his questions to Madonna.
21 years later and she just had an audience of 1.6 million in Rio. And who is Matt Lauer?

That whole Madonna performance at the Tower records. I remember them saying it was for the fans. Not workers of Tower Records. Here in Chicago there was that Queen Fantasya that did work there. I just thought it was unfair as i had bought all my My Madonna albums with my hard earned money! Not fair at all. Then after the taping he bragged to everyone here in boystown Chicago :(
Where’s the rest of the interview?
I don’t see it the way other Madonna fans do! People need to stop projecting. Madonna seems very comfortable with Matt Layer here, almost like she likes him as an interviewer.

Usually toxic fans dominate the comment section. I like Lauer in this interview, he asked what I wanted to know. Madonna’s change of personality is worth asking about.
You can tell Madonna was scared at this point to publish the original American life video, looking back she courted controversy with like a prayer, justify my love - she revelled in the attention, but as he career was taking a downward shift she pulled the video. I would have respected her more for putting it out like the old Madonna would have
Hmm she didn’t release the video because of the backlash the Dixie chicks endured. It’s all about selling and self promotion with this woman
Madonna backed down at this time because she was married to guy Richie...it’s a shame because although the album wasn’t that commercial she spent a few years denying the strides she had made. Although the presenter was harsh there was truth in what he was saying...she was blacklisted anyway on American radios and has had success since but her legacy is vanishing in the USA. But the rest of the world has got her back and her music is on the radio all the time and in clubs.
This isn't the full interview.

A few years later she was back to being a buffoon. These mature years were just another temporary phase, probably an act.

Possibly her worst album. Heard it and said, “Did she just crawl out of 1991?” But, nuthin’ is gonna hold this powerhouse back. Love her or hate her, there has never been one like her, and there’ll never be another one like her.

I exactly remember the day when she pulled that video back. As someone who grew up in a war zone and a life long Madonna fan I knew her brand was „cracking“! That was big big mistake! American life was the last time that she impressed me in terms of artistic expression. I have lost my respect for her art and never again did she make a great video after American life! The videos started to look cheaper with each project (yes, the confessions videos wer atrocious) and so did the music turn more and more generic. By the time she started jumping on the bandwagon of what americans call „EDM“ ( for us in Europe it is called „Euro trash“ since the early 90ies) the music was unbearable!

I think Madonna got scared about the reactions of the video, maybe the government could kill her, because it isn't true that America is the place of freedom, that's the biggest lie
As much as I love Madonna, this album is my least fav from her. There are only a few tracks on it that I enjoy. I own it because I collect her work but that's about it. I'm not opposed to hearing a deeper side of Madonna, however, the whole thing came off to me as poorly written(lyrically) & pretentious. This is my least favorite point in her career.
