ELTON JOHN BACKTRACKS AFTER CALLING MADONNA A HORRIFIC NAME!




Elton John hasn’t had a hit in 15 years, but that didn’t stop him from saying that Madonna‘s career is over (something we have heard since 1984). But what is upsetting a lot of people, many who aren’t Madonna fans, is the fact that Elton used the nasty “C” word in order to describe Madonna.

Apparently, Elton John is still angry at Madonna for saying that Lady Gaga’s song “Born This Way” is a ripoff of her own “Express Yourself.” This is something that many critics noted when the song came out. Instead of acknowledging that the songs were similar, Lady Gaga went out of her way to thank Whitney Houston for inspiring the song. She then told Jay Leno that Madonna sent her an email of support, even though Madonna clearly denied this.

Now, Elton John is backpeddling from his nasty comments and saying that they were meant to be said “off the record.” Molly Meldrum, who originally did the interview, is not backpedding at all and indicates that Elton John is smart enough to know that when the camera is on, anything is open to scrutiny. This comes at a time when Elton John has been playing to empty theaters that hold 3,000 seats while Madonna has been playing to audiences of 70,000 per night.
