Madonna on Oprah (BBC News)

[itsaspaniel224]

Wait, wait wait... I'm a little confused. She adopted a baby that already had a father? Or did I hear it wrong? That seems a tad strange... I thought you're supposed to adopt kids that DON'T have parents.

[eyzonm3]

@itsaspaniel224 Her father put his kid in an adoption house as he could not care for him.

[Treaty4]

Media hungry woman.

[Kaskade2009]

The very harsh and yet sweet bottom line is that Madonna was saving another child. It's part of charity. She's given so much. Something tells me the people who sit on their asses criticizing Madonna, don't give charity themselves. Or do they? She's doing meaningful things with the amount of money she has. Would the haters be happier if Madonna sat on her money and collect every penny like many other celebrities? What do people really have against her? It's a wider issue, really. :) 

[asian897]

@Kaskade2009 I think that people who adopt should do it because they want a child, not because they want to do a charitable thing. As an adoptee myself random strangers have told my parents what great people they are for adopting me. It really makes me feel inferior and like a commodity. It's like they're saying to me, "You should be grateful to your adoptive parents because without them you would've been worthless. The only reason you are alive is because of them." Makes you feel small.

[Defn28]

The only one's who have acted wringly here are the media as usual

[TheFabulousMike]

Bro why u playing this when we can just watch it????? nice hypocrite when u bash me!

[lightkeeper3]

omg I'm ROFL. your so lame dude! at least i didn't show you a video of me showing you this video with a handheld...

[0lCerebratel0]

Lol thefabulousmike is lame

His channel is an embarrassment

I've seen it

[AnastaciaBoy]

she does not have a HUGE voice, but she is MADONNA!

[khargoosh78]

I so agree with you instinto. they should be loved and cared where thy live. why couldn't she adopte a child in states. i'm sure there are lots there.

[itsnigora]

That African father just needs money man! Do you really think that he cares about his son's wellbeing?

[AnastaciaBoy]

she is a great person

[jlbracing]

Do you have any idea how much Madonna has given back to Malawi?

You probably don't.

[skatergeek1981]

Oh joy, handouts. Handouts have served to only passify those who feel guilty. Malawians will save Malawi. If that bitter pill is too much to swallow - oh well.

[jlbracing]

Ok, so let's just let all of the children suffer. Let's not get them the meds they need, let's let children die before the age of 5, let's not build any more schools. Okay, that sounds great.

[skatergeek1981]

Oh lord ... and it's these misguided efforts that serve to only feed these areas of misery for a day than a lifetime. It's pointless getting into it on youtube

[belanova8]

skatergeek! wow what a name hahaha!

madonna has done sooo much for malawi! she has helped more than bono, and that trash of angelina jolie have together! madonna is helping this child from suffering and giving her a good life! you on the other hand dont give a shit and you think she is giving them money for pity and shit. let me tell you something dumbass lets just hope one day one of your family members is in dyer need of money due to an operation or something i will laugh! hahaha!

[skatergeek1981]

Right! That's all "us Africans" need - more money and more pity. Listen up lady, 'cause you have NO clue about the continent let alone the country of Malawi. This tramp - Madonna - gives such a shit about the country ... hmm, let's see did she throw a concert on the continent as yet? Oh yeah, "us Africans" - all we need is another well meaning moron to take a minute out of her schedule and win some sympathy and more media attention for her "soul". R u that blind? Nah, u're just that stupid!

[789ELENA]

what about angelina jolie she has bought 3 kids and she didn't get this treatment that madonna recived and her doughter saharas mom is still alive

[TubbyWilliams]

people are so evil... "bought" they saved these kids... thats all that matters

[skatergeek1981]

'Cause Angelina actually has a post in the United Nations (or did) and served to bring respect and sincere visibility to the issues faced by set nations. Madonna on the other hand is in it simply for her OWN ego.

[inmancebo]

That child has a father. She is Cruella De Vil.

[lolololololsean]

The father's not able to take care of it.

[inmancebo]

Madonna gets away with it. That is what I hate of her her cheeky attitude.

[cuckooclocker]

madonna,as all the people should do,"grow",and try to watch around her.she use her popularity not to teach or to get publicity but just to make light on her discoveries...she's great.

[AMANOTAVANTA]

Are you heart..Oprah..c'mon..you mean..are you pissed off..disapointed..please..thes­e people live of this stuff!Get a Bulgarian orphan..next..i just happen to know one..let me know ya'll!

[obdiane]

Oh, how kind of her, to adopt a child.So, that child, can be cared for, and loved by a wonderful,warmly affectionate..................­.....NANNY. Oh, the humanity.

[schoonebeek]

Poor Madonna...buying a baby and not getting the credits for it. It's so unfair.

[findjustin]

idiot

[jojorodrigues]

she did a great thing by adopting a poor child, thats what matters, and people condenm her for that! what f..world is this?

[broadwaybaby243]

i agree completely

[ewan20s]

Madonna is a great example of how artist should care about the World.

Go Madonna! People are racists and bored.

[Gina3469]

SO SO SO TRUE-my thoughts exactly

[jojorodrigues]

and you should be fucking killed!

[NocturneSoul]

Does it matter? The baby is alive thanks to her.

[Ry73737]

"trance212" jealous because she prefers england to america?

[schoonebeek]

EXCUSE ME?? Miss Madonna is talking about orphans and at the same time about the FATHER of this child?? And then she melodramatically claims the media to TERRORIZE the father, tricking him in saying something. Poor adopted child.

[tillygg]

Oh, Good Lord, you are ignorant. Her child was living in an orphange, the father was not equipped to care for the child, he relinquished all rights to the child by placing him in an orphanage.

[kpnuts2k]

i went the ophanage last monthI spoke to the reverend there and he saw it as a good thing because the father could not look after the child. Madonna gave loadsa money to that orphanage, i saw the new clothes and bed sheets they bought they can also build to expand the orhanage. The orpanhage does not normally let children be adopted but only have done for a few times. The rev said that the father was please and wanted that. i guess that the rev would know more than westen newspaper!

[Redivivus]

why are madonna's eyes always so red? other than that, she's looking very pretty and poised in the vid.

[Vogue91]

oh, gosh, she is soooooo beautiful!!!!

[KateFan]

What accent? Seriously, I'm English and that accent isn't one of ours. What the fuck would it matter if she did anyhow?

[dioioego]

How many ignorant people making comment on her accent...does anybody understand that she might have picked up the British accent bcos she lives in the UK? Have you guys ever travelled in your life? There is a big world out there, wake up!

[SpyderWeb136]

that boy went from poverty to a millionare. This kid will be fucking models by age 16! And his mother is Saint Madonna! What a life. And as for her accent. Please!! She doesnt have a fake British accent. She's talking like a American who has lived in England for over ten years! I'm from New Jersey and I want to live in Sydney, AU one day. And you can bet ur sweet-ass that I'm mos deff going to trade my gay Jersey accent for an Aussie one. Madonna is God...fuck all the haters!!!

[bluesugar58]

madonna did the right thing helping that boy, so what's the big deal

where's her british accent??? lol

i still like u madonna :)

[Elganko]

madonna gets a new accent for evey country she visits, i hear she's gonna be frencj next week..

[demetanne]

my son speak french (french canadien)...goes to french school, where lots of other kids ,,,first laguage is french, he gets home sometime, with that little accent, I THINK ITS NORMAL

[Goldie4tv]

you obeviously haven't been anywhere 4 longer then few days...silly silly silly ...hahhahahha

[7britneyfan7]

Cmon.... the media is being RIDICULLOUS!!! Madonna adopted a baby living in an orphanage, the father of that baby couldn't take care of him and ACCEPTED Madonna's adoption. She even ofered him the chance to go living to a good place to be near his kid!

The kid would probably end up dying in there... so... Madonna helped him! Give the woman a break!!!

[sweethamyam]

i think you better return the boy.. no problem.. just let him go and ebverything will be ok..

[egoharry]

i think musician4 like, wrotr that about Madonna, because i bet that its the right thing he would do with the baby! what a selffish boy!!

[guyroman]

Madonna is the greatest thing ever

[ilovemadonna77]

I love Madonna, and understand that she thrives on this kind of media attention - any publicity is good publicity. She`s one of the few stars who can hold her own and doesn`t take shit from anyone. That`s WHY she`s loved so much.

[Pele13]

musician4life, you are a selfish cunt. wake up and smell the 21 centary.

you have no reason to think that Madonna would give that Baby up when its older. you must have been abused when you were in a adoption centre.

and fuck the whole Nation crap. America isnt a fucking third world country!

anyone who had a heart would be greatful that Madonna has taken a small child out of a life of poverty.

you are a sick little selfish American (no afence to other Americans).

[lightkeeper3]

Yeah, but that's the thing...we have this awful love/hate relationship which is why she never really goes away. Everyone seems to have an opinion on Madonna, good or bad...

[resumedsr]

I think everyone's anger with the adoption has nothing to do with the adoption. I think we are a bit jealous and / or miss-understand how she is rich and famous... I don't understand how she is so famous. I've never liked her music, and yet this adoption has put her in the spotlight again. I wish she would just go away. She can adopt all the African children she wants, just go away!

[NiGHTSintodreams]

You go away. Madonna rules!

[JenGem]

All of you make me upset. Musician4life- Please keep the rude-factor in your coments down. Why call someone a Whore? just say what you mean without being so crule. No one listnes to the crap talkers. LunaSeaSane & Lightkeeper3 don't post equaly rude coments getting mad at Musician4life. Come on- anyone can see he was in the wrong- but don't be in the wrong too! grow up! all of you!

[lightkeeper3]

God your so fucking ignorant.

Fine, you think she's a whore. What does that have to do with her adopting a baby? And why do you think you know what she's like, willing to throw away a baby because "its not cute anymore"?

And this whole nationalism bullshit about adopting from your own country is sooooooo 1900's. Wake up you twat!

[musician4life]

madonna is a fucking whore, shes adopting a baby and she'll probably give it up whewn its older cause its not cute anymore and leave the baby in our country if she wants to adopt fucking adopt in the U.S you twat!

[LunaSeaSane]

And with that remark you just announced the world you're a blithering idiot.

Congratulations.

[HOMZY040387]

i feel u have issues,to make such an angry comment on a person,who has saved a childs life,by given him a chance of a education,love,this boy was up for adoption his parents put him ih their bcause they couldnt feed him, dress him or give him an education

[egoharry]

I bet u are saying that because its the right thing you would do

[messibo]

typical sterio-type american ha adopt a baby from the UK, London i dont go saying things like that, ppl like u r one of those americans who thinks america is the only habited place on this fucking planet, only saying this to ppl who loves (only america not the whole world like i do), anyways madonna is doing an amazing thing im originally from africa and im pretty sure that baby will have an amazing life in america

[boo77ro]
