Elton John says that Janet Jackson doesn't sing live. In an interview with Rolling Stone the Rocket Man claims that Jackson's live shows are a sham.

"You know, f*****g music magazines writing a review of Janet Jackson saying, 'This is the greatest show—four and a half stars.

"It's f*****g lip-synced! Hello! That's not a show! I'd rather go and see a drag queen. F**k off."

He added that Janet gets away with it because of the way Americans worship celebs. "Americans sort of think of their stars as royalty and give them an easy ride."

John previously accused Madonna of the same indiscretion, for which he apologized in the same interview.

"I say what I feel. I probably went too far with Madonna, and I got very personal and I wrote her - she was very gracious."
