Queen is my favorite band ever, and in recent years I've also become a huge Madonna fan. I think Elton John and Roger need to get their facts straight before they go criticizing other artists that have not criticized them. Madonna has not lip synched in YEARS! (In fact, you can download a clip from madonnalicious.com of her messing up during "Express Yourself" in Washington DC on her latest tour, and there are several accounts of fans making her laugh during singing, which proves she was not miming!) That jab should have been directed toward Britney Spears, who never sings a single note in concert! |
| mystic_rhythms 10.10.2004 14:27 |
Amen to that. Britney's singing is as fake as Michael Jackson's nose. maybe even faker than that. Madonna, even if she is overrated, she set the stage for female pop singers in the 1980's, and pushed the envelope since then. But it is good to see Roger take a jab or two at another veteran musician. Anyway, Brian May did a good thing by voicing his opinion on his Soapbox at brianmay.com, totally going against what Elton and Roger say. That's staying power, believe me. |

I do agree to a point there's way more WORSE singers like britney(she actually calls herself an entertainer)EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeek, get over it roger... |

Madonna's redeeming value: Body of Evidence S&M scene w/ Willem Dafoe was wild. |

| chancelloramethyst 11.10.2004 03:25 |
You know, despite my being a lesbian, both Roger and Elton JOhn are way hotter than Madonna, so I'm going with them on this one. Hey! Wow! Roger AND Elton! Hot stuff. Niiiiice. -Amethyst |
| Lawyeris 11.10.2004 03:31 |
I'm on the Roger's and Elton's side this time. Maybe Mad Dona really sings couple of songs, but not the whole concert. |

Madonna was always my least favorite member of Queen... |

Madonna is a shocking singer. I saw a clip of her singing live with Britney and Christina, and her tone-deaf performance was hilarious! |
| Jjeroen 11.10.2004 06:13 |

Sorry but Elton is entitled to speak his mind and you all do not have to agree with him. So Elton spoke up about lip synching, Madonna does it and so does many others of today's "pop" stars. Who the f*ck cares? Apparently, it does hurt music and has hurt music quality, i.e., "the pop tarts" on the scene today, Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, Beyonce and countless other "talentless" sluts! Well, that's my rant for today! Later, Kriz ;o) |

He is so a free spirit that he critize even Queen stuff like he did on Greatest Video Hits 2. Which other artist did that on a official release!? He is totally sincere,take him or leave him! |

Madonna along with MTV represent everything that is wrong with the music industry... Both stand for 'Image & Controversy' as the only ways to sell music. I have to admit that I like a lot of Madonna songs, mostly those from the 80s, but once Madonna found sex as the only way to stay on the spot-light then I knew that she was going down the drain. During the mid 90s she kinda realized people didn't give a rat's ass anymore about what kind of skanky thing she'd come up next, so then she finally decided to pay more attention to her music, but that lasted only until 1998 because she hasn't done anything good since 'Ray Of Light'. |

I think Roger wants a bit of publicity and Elton well he's just jealous. |
| crowley 12.10.2004 15:33 |
I only enjoyed Madonna's "Frozen" - great work, but as for the rest - totally commecialized, I really don't care about her. Remember this is QueenZone not MadonnaZone. Otherwise I wouldn't be here. |
| Journeyfan05 12.10.2004 17:20 |
we may not all be Madonna fans but i think she deserves some respect. who hasn't heard of her? |
| Penis - Vagina 12.10.2004 19:59 |
As someone already stated, Elton's just trying to build some publicity for his upcoming album. It continued today with news of his latest auction. It's a shame he's not an appealing singer anymore and has to resort to such bullshit to sell his attempts at artistry. |

I think Madonna is a washed-up has-been and I think her fake English accent is extremely irritating. |
| LiveAidQueen 12.10.2004 21:22 |
Amen Amanda!! |
| SergeantPepperDG 12.10.2004 21:27 |
I have absolutely no opinion on Madonna. I don't like her, I don't hate her. Although, I loved her in that one "Coffee Talk." She makes a good stereotypical Jewish New Yorker... as does Mike Myers. |
| Mr.Jingles 12.10.2004 21:45 |
Madonna's British accent is about as fake as her religious devotion to Kaballah. We all know that she has decided to keep both as a trend, because she thinks that Kaballah and that dumb British accent make her look SO COOL. Next year she'll re-invent herself for 342th time by showing a Detroit ghetto gangsta accent, and changing her religion to Islam. |
| GonnaUseMyPrisoners 13.10.2004 00:11 |
Mr Jingles: "...she hasn't done anything good since 'Ray Of Light'." Me: AMEN!!! But actually, that was a William Orbit album with Madonna's lyrics & vocals, when it comes right down to it. WO truly made that LP great; his midas touch is sorely missed. I think this whole Elton accusation only brings up in Roger's mind how Freddie NEVER - NEVER - NEVER lip-synched in CONCERTS, and Roger was ALWAYS prominent in backing vocals live (which I LOVED - LOVED - LOVED). That no doubt challenged Queen every year they toured, yet they always excelled. But Roger had better hope no one brings up those little Montreux Pop Festival "performances"... In fairness, those weren't really concerts so much as "live promos", I suppose, but they were lip-synching and they really, truly sucked. I hate lip synchers, and those who do are making a choice for which they will be judged by everyone, apparently. Bummer for them. |

There's no doubt about who has a more legendary status between those two. Although I have to agree with Brian May and say that Elton is bitching too much. |

I'm a big fan of Elton's, but you can tell he's got a new album coming out in a few weeks can't you?! Not a dicky bird for ages then suddenly he's all over the press again (the Madonna thing & the Thailand journo bust up) just in time for his new record coming out! Coincidence? I think not...! :o) |
