Clash of the Drama Queens: Elton John vs Madonna!

Hey, can anyone clarify what Elton was so bitchy about in that airport in (wtfwi?) Singapore?

Elton John unimpressed by Madonna, accuses her of lip-synching
LONDON (AP) — 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 (about $169 Cdn) 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 rejected 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.”
John, 57, was receiving a songwriting award at the Q awards, sponsored by a British music magazine.
Madonna, whose Re-Invention world tour stopped in Britain in August, did not win the best live act award. It went to British band Muse.
John has never been afraid to speak his mind. Last month he made headlines in Taiwan by telling photographers they were a bunch of rude, vile pigs.
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.

(the evil part of me hopes so)

Um, Madonna has been a has-been for a few years now.

actual jews who study the actual kabbalah would not generally celebrate xmas, no.

but the kabbalah centre, where madonna worships and which has virtually nothing to do any of that, is an entirely different thing. it doesn't consider itself any religion at all, and it doesn't see itself as being in conflict with its members beliefs in other religions. for whatever that's worth.

my guess is that madonna lip-syncs a lot less than most similar song-and-dance pop stars. but it's worth noting that it's fairly common in lip-sync situations to mix live singing with a pre-recorded lead vocal track, with a soundman controlling the mix of the two ... which means you could plausibly and truthfully claim you are singing every not of your tour live even while you lip-sync.

Just wait, in 10 years, it'll be a fat, puffy, cranky Madonna that'll be snarling rubbish at reporters. Probably swing her walker at them, then trip and break her hip.
