“A video seems…cheap,” Madonna told Anderson Cooper and a sold-out Beacon Theatre on Friday (June 5) night, shortly after the world premiere of Confessions II, a 13-minute visual project centered around her upcoming album Confessions II. The pop icon was explaining why her short film occupied the space between a mere music video and a full-length visual album (“Guy [Oseary, her manager] is always yelling at me to save money”) to a throng of diehards at Tribeca Festival. “It was good when it was just MTV and me,” she recalled of the music video’s golden era. “Those days are over.”
During a candid, freewheeling, no-phones chat with Cooper (who was subbing in for Jimmy Fallon, who dropped out of the event last-minute) and directors David Toro and Solomon Chase (TORSO) – whom Madonna described as “from another planet” – the Queen of Pop talked about everything from her early days in NYC to the previous evening’s Times Square pop-up performance to the many cameos in her Confessions II project.
