Elton John: 'Madonna should be shot for miming'

[Champ]

Pop legend Elton John launched an astonishing attack on Madonna at the Q Music Awards in London - accusing her of cheating fans by miming on stage.

John launched into a rant when he heard the Material Girl had been nominated for Best Live Act, after he collected the Classic Songwriter prize at the prestigious bash in the Grosvenor House Hotel.

U2 and Shane McGowan picked up awards at the event.

He said of his fellow nominee: "Anyone who lip-synchs in public on stage when you pay £75 to see them should be shot. That's me off her Christmas card list. But do I give a toss? No."

Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg struck back immediately, insisting: "Madonna does not lip-synch nor does she spend her time trashing other artists. She sang every note of her Re-Invention tour live and is not ashamed that she was well paid for her hard work.

2. yeah, Madonna obviously doesn't lip-sync

She herself really does make those god-awful noises.

3. What is wrong with Elton John??

Apparently, he's never been to or seen one of Madonna's concerts. The woman does not lip sync. As awful as her voice is, you can tell she's not lip syncing. He must have her confused with Brittany Spears.
