Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, Lil Nas X, More Appear in Madonna’s ‘Madame XTRA Q&A’

A host of stars, including Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian and Lil Nas X are set to appear in Madonna’s “Madame X Presents: Madame Xtra Q&A.”

The Madonna special will air on Paramount Plus on Nov. 18 and is hosted by “RuPaul’s Drag Race” winners Symone and Aquaria. Each of the stars appearing pose their burning questions to the star. In the special, Kardashian asks: “Do you have all of your awards show and music video wardrobe, and if you do, do you let your daughter wear any of it?” Kardashian admits she would love to raid the closet “so badly,” and asks the Queen of pop if she could borrow an item to wear one day.

Madame X” was filmed in January 2020 during Madonna’s six-night stand at the Coliseu dos Recreios in Lisbon, Portugal, as part of her 11th concert tour, which marked the first time she had played in theaters and smaller venues since 1985 Like a Virgin tour. The concert opens with “God Control,” and is followed by “Dark Ballet,” with its sample from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker.

The album was released in 2019 and is a collection of 15 new songs inspired by Madonna’s residency in Lisbon, Portugal. “Lisbon is where my record was born,” Madonna said, “I found my tribe there and a magical world of incredible musicians that reinforced my belief that music across the world is truly all connected and is the soul of the universe.”

The Q&A was filmed when Madonna held court at the premiere of the new documentary “Madame X” on Sept. 23 at New York’s Paradise Club at the Edition Times Square.

I agree jon. It's sad.
It's hard to accept she's changed so much from the person she once was.
I know everybody changes and mellows, and I don't expect her to be hungry and driven as she once was, but still, I can't fathom how she has ended up so far away from the magnetic, interesting, intelligent person she was for decades.
Worse still, I lately find myself almost agreeing with all those people who said years ago that she should retire. I would rather she had ended her career on a high note and preserved her legacy intact.
Oh well :-/

She sounds so nasally talking with the grills - like her mouth is full of marbles. I was a huge fan growing up of the sophisticated, disciplined, always forward-thinking, witty and interesting Madonna. The Madonna of today is all filtered and face-app'd to death and not at all appealing. Every other one of her Instagram photos shows her with a drink in hand. All she seems to have to say anymore is that "artists are here to disturb the peace" over and over and over and over again.

The most accurate representation of the Madonna of today is her appearance on Jimmy Fallon just last month. This live appearance proves how fake all of the recent photos on Instagram and in the new V magazine photoshoot are.

I'm miss being a fan of Madonna. I sadly don't really feel anything about her anymore.
