The British musician disagrees with critics who praise Jackson's shows, telling Rolling Stone, 'It's f**king lip-synced! That's not a show!'

AceShowbiz - A lot of people love Janet Jackson's shows, but Elton John is definitely not one of them. The outspoken Brit has pretty harsh words to say about the songstress regarding her live performance while speaking to Rolling Stone.
John accuses Jackson of lip-syncing as he expresses disagreement over the fact that music critics give the diva's concerts rave reviews. "You know, f**king music magazines writing a review of Janet Jackson saying, 'This is the greatest show - four and a half stars.' It's f**king lip-synced!" he says. "Hello! That's not a show! I'd rather go and see a drag queen. F**k off."
John has never been one to be afraid to speak out against artists who lip-sync at their live shows. Years ago, he made similar claim about Madonna. The two spent a decade feuding before burying the hatchet recently. "I probably went too far with Madonna," John says also in the interview with Rolling Stone. "And I got very personal and I wrote her. She was very gracious."
Jackson, who collaborated with John on the 1999 hit "I Know the Truth", has yet to respond to his accusation. She's now gearing up to resume her tour, which comes in support of her 2015 comeback album "Unbreakable", after rescheduling a number of its shows due to her health condition.
