It seems Elton John isn't a Madonna fan.
Taking the stage at a music awards show Monday, John accused the queen of pop of lip-synching and said he was astonished that she had been nominated for best live act.
"Since when has lip-synching been live?" he said. "Anyone who lip-synchs in public onstage when you pay 75 pounds ($134) to see them should be shot."
Madonna's spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg, rejected John's allegations.
"Madonna does not lip-synch nor does she spend her time trashing other artists," Rosenberg said in a statement. "She sang every note of her Re-Invention tour live and is not ashamed that she was well paid for her hard work."
