Elton John rips Janet Jackson for lip syncing
Don’t expect to see Elton John anywhere near Janet Jackson once the ailing pop diva resumes her Unbreakable concert tour in May.
‘You know, fucking music magazines writing a review of Janet Jackson saying, “This is the greatest show – four and a half stars.” It’s fucking lip-synced! Hello! That’s not a show!’ Elton tells Rolling Stone in a new profile.
‘I’d rather go and see a drag queen,’ he adds. ‘Fuck off.’
It’s not the first time Elton has publicly ripped into one of his fellow performers for lip syncing.
His earlier target was famously Madonna.
‘I say what I feel,’ he admits. ‘I probably went too far with Madonna, and I got very personal and I wrote her – she was very gracious.’
But you can hardly expect a guy who isn’t speaking to his own mother to take it easy on Janet Jackson or Madonna.
He sent his mother, Sheila Farebrother, flowers on her 90th birthday but did not call her because they are feuding.
‘It upsets me, but to be honest with you, I don’t miss her,’ he says. ‘When she says things in the press, like last year: “I haven’t spoken to Elton since he married that fucking asshole David Furnish,” that was pretty hard to take.
‘I don’t hate my mother,’ he adds. ‘I look after her, but I don’t want her in my life.’

I remember when Elton was up in arms because us pesky American gays were pushing for marriage equality. It was odd to hear that from an openly gay star but then again he lives in his own bubble. Of course what did he do when the UK passed marriage? Yeah, he got married.

Lip syncing Janet? Really??
Jim says:
Bitter old queens. Damn.
Chip says:
Jim, he has always been bitter. Old or young. But that’s just who he is. He probably popped out of his mum that way. 🙂
Bruce Wayne says:
Charming as ever. Tired old queen has always been highly over-rated.
