The Stealth Hippopotamus: nothing meaner than an ugly queen.

Which one?

olddeegee: Wrong. It would have been boring in 87. Both were washed up by then.

Yup. Today it just looks like a cheap way for both of them to get into the spotlight that has abandoned them.

To be fair EJ might be a huge jerk in real life. Lilly Allen stands up to him nicely.

Elton John is not going Gaga over Madonna?

I was alive in 1987 subby, and this story wouldn't have been interesting even back then. Catfights are only interesting when both women are hot.

AW fights with AW over A! News at eleventy!

Elton John is awesome, but he is a crabby old queen.

I guess this is as good a place as any to ask this question that came to mind during the Super Bowl halftime show.

Why does every woman under the age of 30 go absolutely apeshiat for the song "Like a Prayer"? Literally every girl in the bar stood up screaming, sang every word and danced like their lives depended on it.

I can't believe that Elton would even bring himself to her level. It's like finding out Thomas Edison had a problem with Ron Popeil.

I'm still wondering why all of Fenway Park turn into shrieking girls to Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline".

/bah bah bah
/SO GOOD SO GOOD SO GOOD

WrestlerManager: I can't believe that Elton would even bring himself to her level.

Below actually. She's just been ignoring him.

Killer Cars: I'm still wondering why all of Fenway Park turn into shrieking girls to Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline".

Didnt some intern pay it at the Garden and then when she worked at Fenway they had her play it there too. Or something.

Did she steal his boyfriend?

olddeegee: Wrong. It would have been boring in 87. Both were washed up by then.

Wrong. EJ was in his cocaine addict period in 1987, but Madge had released True Blue in 1986 and that had five massive hits on it (Live to Tell, Papa Don't Preach, True Blue, Open Your Heart and La Isla Bonita) and Like a Prayer in 1989 was a huge hit too. The suck started with that dumb Sex book in 1992.

BTW, Elton's Songs from the West Coast and Peachtree Road are good albums, so is the album with Leon Russell but it's been long decline form the Tumbleweed Connection > Honky Chateau > Goodbye Yellow Brick Road glory days, that's for sure.

As for this "feud", EJ and his partner really, really, really need to STFU and quit acting like Grampa Simpson's.

olddeegee: Wrong. It would have been boring in 87. Both were washed up by then.

Clearly. It's not like either can still sell out huge arenas any time they choose to, or sell tons of music any time they feel like releasing it.

Yeah, definitely washed up.

I bet you're one of those guys who declares things "no longer relevant" too. You're cool.

I guess that proves me wrong. There is someone who cares about the Golden Globes.

Disgruntled Goat: I bet you're one of those guys who declares things "no longer relevant" too. You're cool.

Disgruntled Goat is Disgruntled.

Gunny Highway: Didnt some intern pay it at the Garden and then when she worked at Fenway they had her play it there too. Or something.

I'm not sure of the origin either, but either way, I have to verrrrrrry drunk to want to sing along. Same with "Don't Stop Believin'"

Yanks_RSJ: Literally every girl in the bar stood up screaming, sang every word and danced like their lives depended on it.

So a bunch of girls stood up and started dancing while probably at least buzzed and you feel the need to complain about it ya whiny biatch?

I was curious why every girl has the same reaction to that particular song. Apparently asking that question constitutes "complaining" now? Noted.

I love how this article leaves out the part in the interview where he says something about how it's pretty much necessary to lip sync in that situation, but FEUD!!! BIATCH FIGHT!!!!

"OK, our next presenter is the Queen of Pop. Not you, Elton, sit down."

Two old divas fighting. Yaaaaaaaaaaawn

Because it makes us feel naughty.

She kind of talks the lyrics so anyone can sing along and not sound terrible. Plus it goes from soft to loud which is pretty fun. And it is a good song.

More to the point I have no idea.

Manufactured fight to get their names in the media.

Wow, EJ sure likes making himself look like an ass. Let it go, Reginald.

The biatch is Back

As for yearly halftime show extravaganzas, Elton says, "I've never seen a decent one ... never, ever."

The Prince show in the Miami rain was good, Sir Elton.

has anyone made the funny observation of how it wouldn't have been interesting in '87 because I'm sure if you made that observation it would be witty and no one else would have thought of it and you would be original

Don't forget "Captain Fantastic". That album is in my top 5 1970's albums EVER.

/also, i only recognized 1 out of those 5 "massive hits" of Madonnas from that album.

Classic Madonna is some fun music. On a recent trip to the bar playing wingman to my single friends, I helped out some friends by putting together a nice playlist on the jukebox to get the ladies dancing. I started off with some Adele, then some Pink, a little Florence and the Machine, and then hit them with Borderline. Nothing gets a bar full of drunk women dancing like Borderline.

Sic 'er, Elton!

"Like A Prayer" is the triumph of sex over religious dogma. It symbolized that in 1990, and still does today. Who doesn't like that, deep down?

Even good girls.

Make it work FOR you. ;)

torr5962: As for yearly halftime show extravaganzas, Elton says, "I've never seen a decent one ... never, ever."

The Prince show in the Miami rain was good, Sir Elton.

I saw the video of that interview, right after that he paused, thought for a second and then mentioned the Stones and Prince. Of course, that bit isn't "controversial" so it's been cut out from virtually every report I've read of that interview.

Third_Uncle_Eno: /also, i only recognized 1 out of those 5 "massive hits" of Madonnas from that album.

So? They were ubiquitous on MTV and Top 40 radio, which is why they went to #1, 1,3, 1 and 4 respectively, back when having a #1 on the Billboard chart still meant something. A song doesn't require you to have heard it to become a hit, amazingly enough.

Isn't that song a bar skank dog whistle?

One of the all-time best live rock albums.
He has fallen far.
