Madonna/GeorgeMichael - no statement about Whitney??
Hi
Just noticed a lot of celebs wading in to comment about Whitney, but nothing from George or Madonna. Does anyone know if they have issued statements or comments? Fanks |

All i know is that Madonna is in Paris finding and training for tour/dancers and her last radio interview regarding album/tour/Super Bowl news/reflection etc was on Friday before Whitney's passing so she hasnt stated anything or been asked/interviews after the event or anything....but if she is asked she will i am sure release a statement.
As for Mr Michael i havent seen anything. |

I know M and Whitney hated each other back in the day and there was a lot of bad blood and maybe M think it's best just to stay quiet as she might sound hypocritical by releasing a gushing statement

This was in 1991. The two stars never liked each other very much and so M will just stay quiet unless asked. |

I don't think Madonna hated Whitney. She insulted Mariah but I don't think she disliked Whitney.

Why should they comment on it? Not every celebrity needs to comment on someone they didnt even know that well.

Behind the scenes things were different. Madonna has always been anti drugs and has lived an almost puritanical life in comparison to Whitney. Its probably best that Madonna keeps her opinions to herself. |

i thought madonna and whitney respected each other. in this interview is when whitney respected madonna:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_4-Q...eature=related madonna respects whitney: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZ_OY...eature=related i actually thought this was a huge complement she gave about whitney back in 1995 when one of madonna's songs didnt go no.1 instead it was whitney's exhale: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amQuw...eature=related i think madonna always had something against mariah. |

Wow I never knew there was a rivalry between the pair until now, however I did think that surely their paths would have crossed considering they hark back from the same era. Probably best she keeps a respectable silence in that case, or she could be accused of attention-seeking.
I think the most genuine, emotional tributes have definitely come from those who were clearly truly inspired by her. Others just come across as pretty generic 'RIP' messages, if people feel they want/should publicly do this then fair enough but I don't think there is any obligation to. |

somehow the question will be asked to madonna about her thoughts on whitney houston eventually. it took a few days to get janet jackson's thoughts on whitney.
http://www.eonline.com/news/janet_ja...whitney/294202 i wonder if whitney and janet jackson were ever friends in the 90's. i know her and michael were. but dont know about janet and whitney. because they were chart rivals in the 80's and 90's. |

She hated Whitney with a passion and resented her success with The Bodyguard hence the current silence

Oh I see. So she didn't like Whitney or Mariah. Doesn't look good on Madge's part.

Not necessarily. Why should Madonna like Whitney? Just because they are both singers. They were very different.

Was it ever proved Madonna didn't like Whitney? It was likely rumors considering they were the two biggest females of the 80's and then in the 90's. You know what the press are like. They like to create fake rivalries. Plus Madonna was a bit of a cow back in the 90's and didn't like a lot of people. That's Madonna for you. Gotta love her.
They tried to do a similar thing with Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears in the early 00's. |

Well she has been rude towards two of her major chart rivals. It doesn't look good. Noone is saying she has to like them but there is no need to be rude.

Madonna has been quite a bitch down the years and has admitted so herself. I know she didn't like Mariah/Whitney and they detested her as well. Who cares if she's a bitch? So long as the musics good

Woah, where did this Madonna vs. Whitney thing come from?
![]() Madonna didn't like Mariah, and it was Cher who described her as a kunt. I don't recall any bad blood between Her Madgesty and Whitney though. If anyone would like to show me some evidence, I'll be open to it.

I heard Madonna was originally meant to do bodyguard but Kev ditched her for Whitney (see In Bed with Madonna).
I did think they didn't get on so a statement might seem contrived. George however has sung with her and I thought with his Twitter habits he would have said something.... |

It's rather pretentious to make a statement just for the sake of it.

I thought they got on, I can only remember madge saying nice things about Whitney?
People get M wrong, she is really supportive of other artists, she bitches back if an interviewer brings up that another performer has been a **** about her. She then comes out with something. Ususally she just shrugs her shoulders. Lets face it, she will out live them all. |

Most celebrities paid their respects via twitter which Madonna doesn't have. I doubt she would go to the effort of releasing a statement to the public. Why should she? They never worked together, they didn't really know each other. Not every celebrity has to comment on another celebrities death. My guess is Madonna will probably be asked at some point in an interview and she will have nothing but praise and respect for Whitney. A lot of these supposed feuds stem more from press stories and fans than from actual truth. I honestly don't think Whitney hated Madonna and vice versa. I doubt either of them wasted much time thinking about the other since they had their own lives and careers to manage. There always has to be a feud or a rivalry when it comes to female singers and most are probably blown out of proportion. Quote:
