Regarding to the English accent, that was due to where she lived and who she lived with. Imagine a lady mostly lived in English with a British hubby for more than 6 years plus their dating, blah blah blah, how could one not adapt some slight accents? Sometimes, that accent underwent a slight change without noticing, especially when the person is surrounded by the British accent co-workers, family members and other people met under social circumstances. She may possibly picked that up just for fun, to see how pwople react with that. That’s what I thought.

On her dressing style, I thought it was absolutely appropriate for that special interview. She was actually much more considerate than she ever was. That is very worthy for applaud. Madonna always know what to wear under what condition! Like when she was meeting with the British Queen in London, she was very elegant and decent, instead of her normal edge-pushing look or casual look or diva outfit. Same happened in 1997 when she met Argentine president.

Tons of people had opinions on the adopting issue. I just don’t want to say any more. Madonna had highly convincing points in her interview on Time magazine. At least, we can’t deny that even IF she’s the worst mother in the whole world, she is way much better that death for the infant to encounter and face. Yes, it somehow shows that adopting kids from foreign countries has become a trend, but what’s the matter with that. As long as those kids are in help! Madonna thinks even IF she had the celeb privilege, that would actually to save the kid’s life. But she is still having troubles. Nevertheless, I hope if she can have more privilege, that would certainly one more less crying baby waiting hopelessly for the cure.

I totally agree with cc who said that “unless you’ve lived abroad for some time it is hard to understand the influence the local accent has on your “native” accent.” Since Madonna is someone who has been living all over the place most her life, traveling around the world constantly, being able to communicate in at least one foreign languages, she is used to picking up accents and vocabulary.

I myself have travelled a lot around Europe and other parts of the world and being quite good with languages (as a European I speak three foreign languages) I find myself adapting to any accent in an instant no matter where I go… and I am a grown woman too !!! This goes out especially to the lady who thinks that it is im possible for a GROWN WOMAN (who has spoken with the American accent her WHOLE life) to suddenly pick up an accent.

If you’ve never lived in a different place than your own, you do not seem in the position to evaluate her accent…

As for the David issue, I think Madonna is doing him a great service. His father said that if he stayed in Africa he would have died. Jane makes a good point about Madonna providing David’s father with the means to take care of David. But did David’s father ask for that? If he did and was desperate to keep his child, I highly doubt Madonna would force the issue and tear this man from his son! MAybe if he asked for help and wanted to keep David, I’m sure Madonna would have went along with that. But he most likely didn’t ask for that.

Jane also says “celebrities are part of the cause of horrific poverty”. That is a major statement. They don’t necessarily cause the poverty. But I highly agree that with all their money, if each person (lindsay lohan, paris hilton) contributed as much as let’s say Angelina Jolie who donates 10 percent of her salary, yes, there would be no poverty. But instead they buy Balenciaga bags.

Just to clear up RT’s question about Madonna’s so called English accent. Since Madonna has been living in London….apparently she has “picked up” then English accent. This is why she says some words with the accent. Honestly, I do not think it is possible for a GROWN WOMAN (who has spoken with the American accent her WHOLE life) to suddenly pick up an accent of where she has been living for period of time. Anyway, thats what I heard about her accent.
