Shade! Elton John Slams Janet Jackson’s ‘Unbreakable’ Tour

John Compares Pop Queen To 'Drag Queen'

 

 

…and the claws are out!

 

In what appears to be another episode of “Somebody Pissed in Elton John‘s Cereal,†the piano-tickling legend wasn’t exactly in a laughing mood when quizzed on his thoughts on one of music’s most celebrated stageblazers – Janet Jackson.

 

Slamming the songstress with claims of lip-syncing, similar to those he hurled at her fellow pop queen Madonna years ago, John went all the way in and off on Jackson in his recent sit down with Rolling Stone magazine.

 

The reports already have JanFans in a furor, many of whom have taken to Twitter to speak out against the ever-outspoken ‘Tiny Dancer’ divo.  Did you miss any of the action?  It awaits below:

Via E!

 

“ Because he prides himself on giving his all onstage, John is sensitive to others he feels do not hold themselves to the same standards. “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-synced! Hello! That’s not a show!†John, 68, says. “I’d rather go and see a drag queen. F–k off.â€

 

More than a decade ago, John made similar lip-syncing claims about Madonna. “I say what I feel,†he tells Rolling Stone in hindsight. “I probably went too far with Madonna, and I got very personal and I wrote her—she was very gracious.â€

 

 

Meanwhile, our girl Janet:

Well, didn't Diamanda Galás slam Elton John because he does playback when playing the fucking piano? D:

[DocumentaLy]

I find if funny how this queen only gets in fights with women as opposed to other men.

[Deâ„“phina]

I'm trying to understand why he said "drag queen".

[Rapmon's Ahjussi Husband]

This has written "parking lot ambush all over it"

[yeokdae]

he didn't really compare her to a drag queen, he just said he's rather go see one---the problem with that is why is that an insult? some drag queens are good performers tbh. that's especially weird coming from a gay man

 

lip synched or not, people have to understand the difference between "singers" and "performers" Janet Jackson isn't someone you go see when you want to hear amazing vocals. she's someone you go see when you want to see an entertaining show. people can argue whether that's wrong or right, but it's just the reality of pop music today.

[QueenElizabeth]

Why are these senior citizens who were once famous fighting amongst themselves?

[Nikki B.]

He and Janet did a song years ago entitled "I Know The Truth".

[HugeBoi Minos Wife]

How can you shade the queen? Basic pop star bitches nowadays cant hold a candle to Janet when she was at her prime...and she still got it so back off sir.

[abra]

He seems very upset for some reason

[Little Eight]

I'm trying to understand why he said "drag queen".

 

Many drag queens have shows where they lipsync and dance to other peoples songs. So he is saying if he wanted to see a lipsynced show, he'd rather go see someone that supposed to do lipsyncing for a career rather than an actual singer. 

[ellectrified]

I'm starting to think he's starting to become like Liam Gallagher.

There are so many gay men like this and I find it very disturbing. He's very sexist and weak, he doesn't mind being in the company of Justin Timberlake who is a weak performer and pretty much takes from other artists and gets credit for it. And he certainly didn't mind performing with Eminem who called him a "faggot" but he wants to crap on Madonna and Janet who have openly supported the LGBT community. Janet I think was the only artist who spoke against Eminem. Most people had no issue with him including Madonna and Paul McCartney.

No he didn't compare her to a drag queen but was basically saying, she is of that caliber. Which the hilarity of it all is that most drag queens mimic and mime female pop stars from their performances to their style. So why would you pay to see a drag queen when you can see the actual performer....

Ugh....I didn't know this. I'm saying this as someone who is gay, Elton is a straight up f***ot where is his alleged feud with Eminem. There isn't one because Elton isn't going to test Eminem and I just read recently that David Bowie called Elton "rock n' roll's token queen". David isn't far off and the entire music industry probably feels the same way too

WHAT????  I didn't know this was a thing!  I love Tina Turner, you don't come for Tina she comes for you!

[Nikki B.]

I rather go see someone on her feet working the stage than someone sitting behind the piano the whole time.
