Award ceremonies always have their winners and their losers, but usually the results are taken into stride by everyone involved. With the exception of that notorious Kanye West moment at the 2009 VMAs, it isn't often you hear complaints from the losing party. However, Elton John and his partner were upset with the loss to Madonna at the Golden Globes on Monday, and they weren't afraid to let everyone know.

After finding out that Madonna's "Masterpiece" took Best Original Song over John's "Hello Hello," Elton's partner tweeted, "Madonna. Best song???? F--- off!!! Madonna winning 'Best Original Song' truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in it's narcissism. And her critisism of Gaga shows how desperate she really is." Do you think the Madonna bash was well deserved -- or totally inappropriate?

Let's see, now. Elton John, a noted musician, making his appraisal of Madonna, a "flash in pan", wacko, with little or no talent. I think I'll go with Elton's assessment as being absolutely "right". Telling the truth in public, though rare these days, is still refreshing rather than "rude".

It was rude of his partner to say that. But remember that it wasn't actually Elton John's words.

Sounds like sour grapes. And whether you agree or not, it's not Madonna's fault they picked her.

I'm all for expressing your feelings but some things should be kept to a smaller scale, especially when the public eye is involved.

Oh, cripes. Grow up. I didn't like either song. And the embarrassing narcissism bit came from David Furnish (you know, the guy who has to have "Elton John's Husband" written before his name for anyone to know who the hell he is) when he decided to show the world what a sore loser he was.

It wasn't even Elton John who did it, it was his partner, so why is everyone talking as though it was? Read the information then have your say.

Keep it to yourself Mr. Crankypants Elton. Like you both have not a pile of awards. Be happy for the other person, or fake it if you can't.

Money makes some people rude. It may well come back to bite the, though. What goes around comes around. A confident person will perhaps be disappointed in their loss, but will show some dignity, integrity and small degree of grace toward the winner. After all, the tables could easily be turned the next time.

So, because you lost, you feel the need to bash the winner and make yourself look like an ass? Hello! If you're so unhappy with losing, then just go home and work harder. Don't go around bashing someone who worked their butt off to get what they have! Come on! I like Elton, but he's pulling another Kanye West.

I've always felt these awards were fixed ... Elton just confirmed "in so many ways" the inevitability of the voters and awards offered. Elton is an "awesomely talented star" and to get snubbed ---- wow.
Either that or Elton was placed in the wrong category --- categorizing him with Kane West --- West would have finished below last place against Elton.

Crap like that is totally inappropriate. Want to snivel and whine about someone else, do it in Twit or someplace at your fans and friends, not on broadcast. You're just demeaning yourself and whomever you're dissing. Pathetic.
