Madonna SCALPED by Billy Joel: "It didn't help her much"
Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Billy Joel lets us know how he really feels about the Queen of Pop's vocals in this video from his first residency concert at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Quote:
"First I gotta use a little throat spray. This is called 'the entertainer's secret'. [Sprays throat] I saw Madonna use this once...[Spray again] It didn't help her much...but..."
Time to clear out the deli aisle ... because we got some BRAND NEW BEEF ... Billy Joel's now hopped on the Madonna-bashing bandwagon, firing shots at Madge for her crappy singing.
Billy skewered Madonna Monday night in NYC, during the first of his residency shows at Madison Square Garden.
He jokes about using a special spray to help soothe his throat before a song, and then says, "I saw Madonna use this once ... it didn't help her much." The crowd went nuts. You gotta listen.
The first of his monthly Garden concerts, nine of which have been announced and are sold out, was an important gig for Joel in what is turning out to be a milestone year. As he told the packed-to-the-rafters crowd before breaking into 1976’s “Summer, Highland Falls,” 2014 marks his 50th year as a professional musician. That song’s familiar refrain of “either sadness or euphoria” decidedly tilted toward the latter on this night, as every song delivered, be it classic rock radio staples like “Piano Man” and “Allentown” or deeper cuts like “Blonde Over Blue” and “Where’s the Orchestra” from his 12th studio album "River Of Dreams," released in 1993.
He didn't scalp her, just make a joke for the public.
