Madonna Wins Golden Globe, Elton John’s Husband Reacts

At the Golden Globe Awards, Madonna and Elton John were both up for best original song, and traded insults on the red carpet, but after Madonna won, John’s husband David Furnish lashed back on his Facebook page.

“Madonna. Best song???? F**k off!!!” Furnish said on Facebook, according to TMZ. “Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in its narcissism.”

He also called Madonna’s recent criticism of Lady Gaga “desperate.”

Furnish may have been referring to several aspects of Madonna’s speech, which came after her song “Masterpiece,” from her film “W.E.,” beat out John’s “Hello Hello from “Gnomeo and Juliet.”

Before the night’s festivities, Elton told NBC’s Carson Daly that Madonna “doesn’t have a f***ing chance of winning tonight.” After laughing, Daly asked if those were “fighting words” but Elton called them “accurate words.”

When Daly told Madonna about Elton’s jab, she asked, “Was he wearing a dress?’ … adding, “may the best man win.”

According to Us Weekly, Madonna voiced her hopes backstage that she and Elton could patch things up. “I hope he speaks to me for the next couple of years,” she quipped. “He’s been known to get mad at me so I don’t know. He’s brilliant and I adore him so he’ll win another award. I don’t feel bad!”

Lady Gaga’s Emotional Reaction To Grammy Wins

Lady Gaga won two Grammys for best dance recording (Poker Face) and electronic/dance album (The Fame) during the pre-telecast, so we were unable to see her reaction, but, thanks to Twitter, Gaga tweeted this photo to show her little monsters just how moved she was by the news.

Along with the photo, Gaga tweeted:

“beautiful photo taken of me the moment I found out i won my grammys. All the hundreds of songs I wrote, the thousands of shows, the fans, all the blood and tears flashing instantly. photo by haus member the famous “Dada” Williams.”

AMERICAN IDOL RECAP – MOTOWN NIGHT

So tonight it was Motown night for the top 10 on American Idol. 

First up, Matt, who chose to sing ‘Let’s Get It On’. The video intro set him up for a great performance and he did well. He started off at the piano and, personally, I wish he had stayed there because I felt his voice was stronger there and he was more visibly more comfortable. He is an incredible talent and this weeks theme is right up his alley. 

Kris – ‘How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) – He is defining himself more and more every week and I still believe that he knows exactly what he’s doing in this competition. He put his own spin on a classic and the judges loved it. What’s not to love about this guy…He’s got the looks, the voice, and the talent to go far. 

Scott – ‘Can’t Hurry Love’ – I wasn’t sure what to think after his video intro. My initial reaction was bad song choice. I didn’t like how he started the song at all. He looked really uncomfortable throughout the performance. It was almost like he was concentrating on the next line the whole time. Simon was right on this one. Scott’s song choices are very wrong and he is not standing out. He could be going home this week. 

Megan – ‘For Once In My Life’ – I could have sworn she would sing ‘Baby Love’, but I guess not. She started the song by shouting and I was really disappointed. She has so much potential. She truly has the most unique voice of any contestant, but she over-sang every line of the song tonight. It was definitely the wrong choice. I wish the judges had a say in the song choices. I’m tired of listening to awful performances and the same judge’s comments week after week. Wouldn’t it be great to be blown away be every performance and have a tight competition? I think so. 

Anoop – ‘Oh Baby Baby’ – He did a great job. I’m almost able to take him seriously after his last 2 performances. He’s definitely stepping up to the plate and showing up that he’s got what it takes. It’s time for him to sell it to us, though. He looks a bit bored during his performances. He’s really improving in this competition and I bet he’ll bring something new to the game next week. 

Michael – ‘Ain’t To Proud To Beg’ – He needs to go home. I completely agree with the judges. I don’t have a clue what kind of artist Michael is. The only place I could see him is in the country music, but I question how successful he would be. He doesn’t captivate me when I watch him and his performances are completely forgettable. 

Lil – ‘Heatwave’ – This was the week for her to shine above the rest, but she fell short. From the look to the vocals, there was nothing authentic about her performance tonight. No one can deny that she is an incredible singer, but she needs to define herself as a current artist in 2009. 

Adam – ‘Tracks Of My Tears’ – What was up with his hair? It was so nice to hear a softer side of his voice on this song. He’s unbelievably talented and tonight he proved it once again. The performance was much more sedated than we’re used to from him, but he nailed it. The standing ovation was well deserved. Kara needs to learn to count….she said she had 6 words for Adam, but she gave 8. 

Danny – ‘Get Ready’ – Michael McDonald Jr. bounces a little too much for me. He’s a solid performer and I liked the added choreography with the back-up singers, but I’m not really into him as a potential American Idol. 

Allison – ‘Papa Was A Rolling Stone’ – Who the hell was she in a past life because there’s no way there’s a 16 year old soul in her. She was INCREDIBLE tonight! The judges were on their feet long before the song was over. Hot Hot Hot!
