Elton John "UNIMPRESSED" With Madonna: THE BITCH IS BACK!

[Placebo]

It seems Elton John is not a Madonna fan.

Taking the stage at a music awards show Monday, John accused the queen of pop of lip-synching and said he was astonished she had been nominated for best live act.

"Since when has lip-synching been live?" John said. "Anyone who lip-synchs in public on stage when you pay 75 pounds (US$134) to see them should be shot.

"That's me off her ... Christmas card list," he added. "But do I give a toss? No."

Madonna's spokesman Liz Rosenberg refuted John's allegations.

"Madonna does not lip-synch nor does she spend her time trashing other artists," Rosenberg said in a statement. "She sang every note of her Re-Invention tour live and is not ashamed that she was well paid for her hard work."

Rosenberg indicated Madonna was not taking John's remarks too seriously.

"Elton John remains on her Christmas card list whether he is nice ... or naughty," she said.

1. How dare Elton knock Madonna

I think he's just jealous that he wasn't born with a vagina.

2. She does lip-sync on stage. I went to see her in DC...

...during the Blonde Ambition tour.

It was a good show, but you could tell when she was singing and when she was lip-syncing a song.

Usually, the more movement involved in the dance routine, the more likely it was she resorted to lip syncing.

4. I think your last sentence sums it all up

Most musical acts who also do a lot of dances in their show, usually lip-sync
It's very difficult to sing and sound good and dance at the same time.

I don't fault people who do that.

[Liberal Veteran]

7. I don't either, but to be honest, Madonna don't sound good live anyway...

....I much prefer "digitally enhanced" Madonna vocals.

Her version of Holiday during that show was simply all over the board when it came to hitting the right notes.

13. boo hoo

18. The show at the Capital Center?

gee, I was there too

[Liberal Veteran]

21. Yeah, that was the one....

LOL

[sundog]

23. I was trying to be really cool

I went with my pseudo-goth posse. We had fun though. I was too far away from the stage or too stoned to notice the lip sync.

But Truth or Dare was a great movie.

Those were the good days. Dancing to those tunes at the ambi-sexual Tracks nightclub in DC "ghetto," only 10 minutes by foot to the Capital & the Mall... It was such an extreme contrast in such a small geographical space.

We would trip at the club and then go space out on the mall after-hours.

3. Eh...

Cat fight. Reminds me of when Eminem and Christina Aguilera had some kind of tiff. Yawn.

5. Em's targetting PeeWee Herman now I heard

[My Pet Goat]

8. The only twist...

Madonna was a Clark supporter. She even put stuff up on her official website speaking out for Clark. Plus, she was Dixie Chicked by Drudge and the like for her latest album (or video?) speaking out against *.

9. What's up with Elton these days?

First the hissy fit in Asia, and now dissing Madonna. Something must be going on with him.

[JohnKleeb]

Britney.

[Chicago Democrat]

14. W hat is up with Sir Bitch?

I mean, really! Get OVER yourself! You are gonna get old and die like everyone else! Why be a DICK?

[NightTrain]

15. And what's so fucking great about Elton John?

If I never hear "Benny & The Jets," "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" again, it'll be too goddamned soon!

[Placebo]

16. HaHaHa!

touche.

[Elidor]

24. What's so great about Elton?

Tiny Dancer, Funeral for a Friend, Madman Across the Water.

He certainly is a diva. But once upon a time he was entitled. (Before 1986, say.)

[mitchum]

17. He's just jealous that she has sex with youngmen WITHOUT paying them

[Johnny 99]

19. Did Bernie write that quip for him?

To be fair, I can't stand Madonna anymore either, frankly.

[sundog]

20. CATFIGHT!
