Classy. Both he and Elton continue to reinforce the stereotype of the bitchy queen.

sour grapes and very tacky, Dave.

Why are they both so ANGRY with her? Did she pee in their Cheerios?

It seems to go beyond cattiness and enter into this bizarre vendetta territory. Is there a feud between them that I haven't been following? Has she dissed them in the past and they're out for revenge? Did she TP one of their mansions?

Exactly-"Elton John's Husband"-what the hell has Furnish ever done besides produce things using Daddy's money. Both men are slobs. Tacky bitchy queens.

Just when you get to the point where you're kind of enjoying being annoyed by Madonna, Sir Elton has to come along and provide her with an opportunity to look great by simply taking the high road.

Elton and David. Totally out of line. Biter. Queens.

Maybe it's because Gaga is the baby's godmother and they were annoyed with M's 'reductive' comment?

i don't know but Madonna stayed classy when confronted on it.
She takes the high road. I love that about her.

I'm in the "this actually makes me side with Madonna" camp. Whatever the real story, Elton and his husband are the ones who look like the a-holes here.

Well and who is Elton to talk. I mean, in essence, he and Madonna do the same thing. Elton makes bitchy comments about people all the time. How is Madonna being so different from Elton by saying "Born This Way" is "reductive" (which is after all, all she said, regardless of how the press has amped this up.) It's a pretty harmless statement.

Elton doesn't like Madonna because she never kissed his ass. Never has and never will. The reason Gaga (a relatively new star) is the Godmother is because she kisses his fat ass left and right.

Madonna acted like a star before she was one (part of the reason I believe she made it-power of intention) and never suffered fools or kissed celebrity ass.

Team Madonna. Her response in the press conference was really fun loving and lovely.

Elton John and his husband are twits. They came across as quite crass in the clip in the link, mentioning only the high-profile nominees and referring to the apparent success of their film "it did 100 million!". Oafs.

I love Madonna and love Masterpiece, but for me the Sinead O'Connor song from Albert Nobbs should've won anyway.






Sinead's song, lyrics by Glenn Close (much classier than Elton)

The wonderful Randy Rainbow tweeted: "Many are calling David Furnish's Facebook rant about Madonna immature, but in his defense, he's a 12 year old girl and he didn't get his way."

Bettyboy72 Madonna has never been an artist who made bitchy remarks about others, she has always stayed quiet, even when Elton hit out at her a few years ago she came back with a fun sweet comment, last night she also said she adored him.

As for the Gaga comment, yes she said the song was 'reductive' but to be fair the world has been saying that the song was a rip offnfor Express Yourself for the past year, and unless you are deaf you cant really deny that. That was the only thing Madonna said about Gaga that could be seen as negative (and it was about the song, not her) every other thing she has said has been positive (she thinks she is great, a great performer, very talented etc) but it's very easy to focus on the negative.

John and the oldest kept boy in Hollywood are saying thse things because she said the reductive comment about Gaga, the woman they have attached themselves too to seem relevent again (much like he did with Eminem). I find him a joke (gaga the god mother? did he have no real friends). This has made them seem silly and petty

songanddanceman, I agree Madonna hasn't been overt about her slamming others, but over the years, especially before finding her spiritual core, she was often pretty petty and known for eye rolling in her interviews, saying alot by saying nothing, etc. She definitely was not sitting on a fence when it came to others and she wasn't always nice.

Elton John has not been relevant in the pop music world in many years. He simply isn't motivated the way Madonna is. He rests on his back catalog. He's trying to be the next ALW. He's jealous.

As for Furnish, please. We all know why he is there. Bloodsucker.

Obviously this was NOT the reaction at the Jones/Furnish household:

It looks like Sir Elton is a sore loser. Lestat closes so he will not release the cast album. Now he loses & he gets his knickers in a twist

Grow up Elton & grow a pair. It is a dangerous world out there & occasionally you lose. Accept it & go on. Many would kill for the life you lead & the success you have attained.

The man is a joke who will do anything for publicity and money. He's so for gay rights yet was against gay marrige (and is now wed with a kid). He want's to stamp out homophobia yet performs at the wedding of Rush Limbaugh for 1 million. He is all about positive gay role models yet performs with Eminem. He is just vile.

Song, I know you're passionate about Madonna and all, but even you must have thought "I'm gonna write this bit about Elton desperately attaching himself to Gaga to seem relevant but there's no way Namo will let that pass." Which I can't do. At least Elton picked somebody who composes, plays piano, and sings live. Madonna chose assorted members of The New Mickey Mouse Club. And coming up next? Madonna and Nikki Minaj. Ohhhhhhhh man.

Yes The Dwight family behaved tackily. I mean, the man used to wear a Donald Duck costume for gods sake.

"He is all about positive gay role models yet performs with Eminem."

Not to give Sir Elton credit but I don't think Eminem has done anything to the degree he did in his early works in terms of homophobia after he struck up a friendship with him. Honestly, Eminem was a young guy who grew up impoverished, urban area and had rage that he directed (or rather misdirected) at every subject to all of his songs.

And no I don't think Elton was seeking to strike a friendship for Eminem to denounce everything he previously said, I think he just admired his ability as a rap artist (and that performance of "Stan" is amazing) which has since matured and he is still a popular artist without being so rage-fueled. IIRC even in that vanity project film Eight Mile, years after those tracks came out, Eminem portrayed somebody more understanding of people's sexuality with one of his friends being gay in the film and defending him while free-styling.

Madonna. Best song???? F**k off!!!...Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in it's narcissism.

No he attached himself to Eminem because he was popular at the time, just like he has with Gaga. And Namo i don't really care if she play the recorder with her a vagina the simple fact is he has attached himself to her because she's the new 'hot star'. He does it all the time, he's so obvious.

strummergirl to me it makes no difference if Eminem is very talented (i agree) or useless, he was/is homophobic, i don't care if Elton told us he had helped Eminem see the light, the simple fact is his lyrics on some of his tracks were vile towards the gay community.

Simple fact is Elton is a leech as much as his well paid house boy is.

"At least Elton picked somebody who composes, plays piano, and sings live. "

Wait a minute-in choosing the baby's godmother, playing piano matters? Now that's really sad.
