Madonna did ‘Carpool Karaoke’ with James Corden: boring or amazing?

Madonna’s Billboard interview was one of her best moments of the year, I thought. I still don’t really know why she was declared Billboard’s Woman of the Year though, considering all she really did this year was finish up her international tour. I mean, she’s still the richest woman in music, but that’s been the case for years. Why is Madge suddenly everywhere right now? I don’t know. But here she is on James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke. This episode was super-hyped for weeks, and all of the Madonna fans were jazzed that she was finally doing it. Considering the sheer volume of hits in her catalogue, I’m surprised by which songs were chosen and which songs were sidelines. They cycle through these songs: Vogue, Bitch I’m Madonna, Papa Don’t Preach, Don’t Cry For Me Argentina (from Evita), Express Yourself, Ray of Light and Music.

A few things: she slips into that stupid faux-English accent when she’s talking about Evita. She hates Corden’s clothes, but she compliments him as being funny and says she thinks the best thing would be to marry a “funny guy.” She tells a story about kissing Michael Jackson. But mostly, this was a boring-ass episode, right? Yikes. Madonna likes to think of herself as the most interesting person in the world, but in reality… she’s just kind of vapid and self-absorbed.

But really, can we take a moment and talk about the craziness of her face? OMG. There’s so much work on display here. I don’t think I realized how much work she’s had done on her lips. And it feels like she doesn’t know how to move her new face at times too, like she awkwardly opens her mouth and tests out an “expression.” So crazy.

    That is Mae West in a leather jacket.

    Madonna looks mummified.

  3. karen says:

    It was exactly what I would figure an episode of carpool karaoke with Madonna to be. Very little actual singing on her part (watch Gagas for comparison, hers was amazing) and lots of her acting like an 18 year old.

    • Rhiley says:

      I thought Gaga’s was boring though, as boring as that new song, It was a perfect illusion, perfect illusion. It was a perfect illusion, perfect illusion, perfect illusion.

    • crtb says:

      It started out fun unti she started twerking. then is was embarrassing

  4. paolanqar says:

    She has completely ruined herself. That ass is just the cherry on top.
    I had to stop watching, her face makes me feel in pain.
    And to think I was such a fan..

    • Jem says:

      I was a big big fan too … I’ve tried but I can’t with her now. She is so hard to look at, and it’s disturbing

  5. NotSoSocialButterfly says:

    She has totally gone Kartrashian plastic body with those breast and butt implants.
    And don’t get me started on the fillers in her face. Yeesh.

    • Aussie girl says:

      I couldn’t watch the clip (not available in my country) & I couldn’t be bothered finding another source. But from the comments from the other day on another Madonna thread & this one, I’m gathering she has gone and got her self some K arse implants…? Lawdy, now we have to watch her face and arse cheeks get bigger and bigger. Because we all know she is not going to stop anytime soon. It’s kind of sad :/

  6. Jayna says:

    Too much filler. Her face can’t move. She used to have a great laugh, but she can’t really laugh anymore all frozen.

    But I thought it was great and they had great chemistry. I’ve seen many boring or awkward Carpool Karaokes with him, but this wasn’t one. It was actually good. God, I love her catalogue of music pre-2012.

  7. SusanneToo says:

    I’ve seen most of the Carpools and love them except for two – Gaga and Madonna. They were both awful, look at me, me, me episodes.

  8. L84Tea says:

    Whaaaaaat is going on with her face??

  9. MissMerry says:

    her face looks like she rolled in something she’s allergic to and now she’s all puffy…

    she also strikes me as somebody who is just exhausting to be around for more than 10 minutes.

  10. MickeyM says:

    Her face is starting to look like a frozen cat face. Eeek.

  11. Margo S. says:

    I wish she didn’t feel like she had to mess up her face so much. The English accent though is hilarious to me. Lol.

  12. arock says:

    huge yawn, god she must be exhausting. staaaaph the accent, please. “when i Was on the Bauuhl-cony” owwh gawsh.

  13. Bellagio says:

    Finally, Jackie Stallone on carpool karaoke.

  14. Miss V says:

    I tried to watch it, but only made it less than halfway through. It was so cringeworthy, my secondhand embarrassment got the best of me. I had to stop watching!

  15. MAC says:

    I enjoyed it. Thanks for that as I am watching sick in bed.

  16. Eleonor says:

    I think the best was the one with JLO.

  17. Velvet Elvis says:

    Carpool karaoke was so much better before it became a huge thing. Everyone wants on there now and it seems too try hard or fake. For me the best one is still the first Justin Bieber one.

  18. Barrett says:

    She is cringeworthy but from my generation so I was surprised that I actually enjoyed some of her oldies. They made me feel young again like papa don’t preach!

    Ha if young madonna could only see older madonna she would think she was so try hard.

  19. kimbers says:

    I pity grandma Madge. Grace is not her middle name.

  20. Amanda D says:

    I don’t think anything can be as bad as Britney and Selena’s episodes.

    Gotta agree with Madonna that he has terrible taste in clothing. Unbutton a button or two and loosen up man!

  21. SusanneToo says:

    Stevie Wonder is the best, imo.

  22. wheneight says:

    Not sure what she thinks she’s achieving with that unfunny “bitchy” persona or whatever that is. Very unflattering. Like the puffed up lips. At least she always had the good sense to keep her nose and not chisel away at it over the years to the point of ridiculousness like so many other celebs.

  23. emma says:

    He needs to space these out more.

  24. Jennifer Leader says:

    God help me. Can we PLEASE stop being mean to Madonna?!!! No one is comfortable with her aging and that is the truth. I just watched her spoof with James and I was smiling the entire time

    • Laura says:

      Thank you! She’s 58 for crying out loud! Sure she’s had some work done, but I think she looks great. If she didn’t have any work done we’d probably all be talking about how old she looks.

  25. AnotherDirtyMartini says:

    Okay, I don’t like Madonna’s personality, so I’ll be the first to jump on her bs. I admit the pic of her at the top looks WEIRD. But I was expecting so much worse from the video. She didn’t look that bad to me. I hope I’m not becoming immune to the plastic surgery look!

    Now, about that ass. I googled. Found video of her twerking with another blech, Arianna Grande – and what the hell?! Madonna always had a firm bottom, right? She now has what looks like uncooked rolls of dough hanging off her butt. It’s terrible. It’s crazy.

    Can we get a designer ID on her gloves, stat? I love them. I need them.
