During an interview to one Australian TV channel Sir Elton, John made a criticism of Madonna and her last round: "Why does she behave as terribly? Sorry, but her career is completed. Her tour turned out to be a nightmarish, it is impossible to imagine more shit. If Madonna had at least a little common sense, she would have written songs like Ray of Light, would stay away from dance ideas and would just be an excellent pop singer that records excellent albums. It makes it brilliantly. But no, she needs to prove something ... It looks like a thistle stripper from the fair. "
The reason for such a statement was the desire of Elton John to support his girlfriend Lady Gaga. Madonna, that and the matter reproaches the mother of all monsters in the fact that she copied her song Express Yourself in his hit Born This Way. "I am glad that I helped her write this composition," then Maja is sarcastically expressed. Elton John considered such attacks unfair and thus tried to put Madonna in place.
