Elton John brands Madonna 'nasty and ungracious'

[Glamourpuss 29,062]

Elton John, who's book was released last week, was at it again as he branded Madonna 'nasty and ungracious' over her past comments about Lady Gaga.

The I'm Still Standing hitmaker, 72, discussed a 2012 ABC News segment in which Madonna, 61, said Gaga's hit Born This Way was 'reductive' for sounding too similar to her own track express Yourself.

In his memoir, he said: 'I used to make fun of [Madonna] for lip-syncing on stage, but the problem really started when she ran Gaga down on an American chat show.

‘I got that Gaga’s single Born This Way definitely sounded similar to Express Yourself, but I couldn’t see why she was so ungracious and nasty about it, rather than taking it as a compliment… particularly when she claims to be a champion for women.'

He added: ‘I think it’s just wrong — an established artist shouldn’t kick down a younger artist right at the start of their career.’ 

During the interview in question, Elton said of Madonna: 'She’s such a nightmare, sorry. Her career’s over, I can tell you that. 

‘Her tour’s been a disaster. She’s been so horrible to Gaga. If Madonna had any common sense she’d have made a record like Ray Of Light, stayed away from the dance stuff and just been a great pop singer and make great pop records which she does brilliantly. 

'But no, she had to prove that she was, like… and she looks like a f**king fairground stripper.'

Sorry if already posted. I did a search. 

He's so catty and such a bitch. He is right about how she treated Gaga but he could have held back a little bit.

Madonna was ungracious about Gaga, but she has never lip synced on tour (aside from singing along to a backing track), and her new tour has gotten a lot of acclaim (and Elton has not attended—based on my google search).

Remember when he swore on his life that Madonna wouldn't win that Golden Globe.... yet she did

this is so old and he met with madonna and he apologized and according to him she accepted his apology and was nice to him. I don't get why dailymail is posting this now. their only motivation is to paint Elton in a bad light, as if it would effect a legend like him anyways

edit: its been pointed out to me this was recent and I'm really disappointed in Elton 

[Edonis 25,996]

He's always been a bitter queen but he's not wrong about the reductive comment.

[Zander 14,817]

Elton has never liked Madonna and has made some petty remarks in the past but this time he ain’t wrong I tell you that.

So annoying don’t be a messy gay sir

what’s with his bitchy attitude? Focus on your music career why is it necessary to bring up other artists?

[PutUrPawsUp 200]

I just wanna drag Gaga out of their battle

But damage is already done

Because he's dragged it up again and attacked her new tour. 

The article also mentions the last time he was horrible about her and how he bought her dinner to apologise. I mean if you click on the link and read the full article. I only included the new stuff in my post.
