The way Elton keeps acting out against the one and only Madonna makes many of the LGBT community question his true loyalty of Lady Gaga as being genuine or is John genuinely jealous of Madonna.
His career has long been over while Madonna's career continues to thrive as she keeps pace with trends often setting them; either way she adapts unlike John whose wardrobe, songs and character remains stuck in the 70s. Lady Gaga can fend for herself, John. She respects Madonna (her own words) and admits she emulates the "Material Girl" quite often. The same thing which is often said by the pundits of the music world and by millions of fans everywhere. Lady Gaga too often runs the risk of being just a copy-cat!
Madonna merely suggests that Gaga try being herself. No thrashing of Gaga just a suggestion to move ahead setting her own trends like Gaga is fully capable of doing instead of being overshadowed. Lady Gaga's "little Monsters" are fanatics but millions are also Madonna fanatics and "Iconers" and do not like picking one over the other. Millions are of the LGBT community as I have stated several times having followed Madonna way longer than Lady Gaga and millions are ready to choose "Team Madonna" if needed. Heed the suggestions, Gaga, and stay away from Elton despite your personal connections to him (God-Mom to his child, etc.) and do your own thing as you have and leave the Madonna imitations alone already for that, too, is getting somewhat old and contrite!
