Elton John has never been one to filter his thoughts, and in an interview for the new issue of Rolling Stone, the music legend let his opinion be known about his fellow singers’ showmanship.
“I say what I feel,” the 68-year-old musician explained. “I probably went too far with Madonna [publicly calling her out for lip-synching], and I got very personal and I wrote her — she was very gracious. … You know, f–king music magazines writing a review of Janet Jackson saying, ‘This is the greatest show — four and a half stars.’ It’s f–king lip-synched! Hello! That’s not a show! I’d rather go and see a drag queen. F–k off.”
John and Jackson, 49, previously collaborated on the 1999 hit “I Know the Truth.”
The outspoken singer and pianist also had no problem calling out his frequent touring partner - and longtime friend — Billy Joel.
The pair got into a very public feud after John blasted Joel, 66, for not getting help for his alcoholism, calling him a “conundrum.” The pals made up two years later.
