lol I'm a pretty massive Gaga fan but you guys need to calm down. Madonna paused and said she had a good voice and a cool tattoo. Everyone needs to stop trying to start shit.

I think Madonna genuinely has no issue with Gaga and thinks she's a talent but likes to play up to the media on the rivalry in a tongue and cheek way. Madonna respects strong authentic artists.

Madonna knows what's up. "I know everyone's waiting on the edge of their seats for this…" She's stayed relevant because she's paid attention, and used her knowledge to make clever moves and transformations.

Omg I just want Madonna and Lady Gaga to be besties and do a collab tbh

To all the people who are still perpetuating the Madonna vs. Gaga thing...Did you all see that Madonna chose to give her a compliment? She knew everyone was waiting for her to talk shit, but I don't even think she cares about the fake rivalry anymore. Madonna is preparing for her tour, Lady Gaga is having a great year with the Tony Bennett album and the Oscars performance. A lot has happened since this interview...from 2012. Move on.

i feel like the only one that she truly complimented was beyonce lol

"Lady Gaga" Good voice? Lady Gaga has an amazing voice

I'm forever mad that Ellen never mentioned Christina

I love Madonna AND Lady Gaga. Maddy has talent and so does Gaga. They are both pop icons. They are both amazing in many different ways. Madonna fans should really stop attacking Little Monsters and Little Monsters should stop attacking Madonna fans. Madonna and Lady Gaga are both freedom fighters, and to see their fans attacking each other must break their hearts. What is that saying? Oh right "Stop The Drama And Start The Music." And "Living For Love / Not Going To Stop / Love's Gonna Lift Me Up." Don't hate if you can't appreciate. Grow up people.

I am so glad she said GaGa has a nice voice, but in reality she is also one of the greatest pianists I have ever heard. What a talent she is.

I am the biggest Gaga fan here, literally she is my FAVORITE artist, but even i can respect that Madonna will always be the queen of pop. its just facts..both can be true, i can be the biggest gaga fan & love her the most & still know that Madonna is the queen. Same with ppl who are fans of Cardi B, they need to realize Nicki Minaj will always be the Queen.

she gave her a compliment chillax tea drinkers

"Elton John" "Nice ass" hahahaha gotta love Madonna!

I stan Gaga but Madonna is the real deal and has paved the way for all of the female artists named by Ellen here - let's be real! Madonna = Queen of Pop!

I missed of Christina Aguilera, Shakira and Kylie Minogue

Good voice? You mean the best theatrical singing voice, madonna can't sing like Gaga did at the Oscars doing a "sound of music" tribute.

She was so personable and wonderful through this era.

Madonna says to Britney : Good kisser OMG!!!!! I still remember the VMA's performance 2003 Iconic bitches! Britney an Madonna #LegendsOfPop

The fact that she had to think Gaga’s out and talked about her the most is a sign that Gaga’s here to stay

madonna dislikes gaga because...? i love madonna but, lets be honest, she seemed bitter. shes considered the "queen of pop". she needs to humble herself.

Ellen: Elton John Madonna: Mm nice ass That's killed me

I feel like Madonna is praising these people and complimenting them. Stop the hate, you can love any artists you want. Madonna said nice things. She just paused when Gaga's name came up because she's not stupid and knows people compare them. Just because two people do strange things doesn't mean they automatically are against each other nor copy each other. I love them both. Enjoy the music and stop the hate

I opened because I saw Britney

0:50 I don’t think Madonna hates Pink as much as she thinks. 😭

I would've loved more this if Ellen would've included her peers like Mariah, Whitney, Celine and Janet

"Britney Spears" "Good kisser"

Madonna is the perfect entertainer

Gaga has an amazing powerful voice even when she's singing and dancing at the same time. She doesn't lip sync and her voice is still fighting while dancing. Her breath sometimes hard but still powerful. ❤ Her transformation is really undeniable and incredible.

“Lady Gaga” incredibile talent ❤️👍👍👍

Beyoncé: "Incredible voice". Thats all :D

Ellen: Nicki Minaj Madonna: Nice ass Me: What....?

I thought she was going to say "just an ass" about Elton :P

Only MDNA understand Lady Gaga super talent and she is scare and jealousy

The whole Madonna vs Gaga thing is so 2012. They took a picture together at the Met Gala earlier this year with Katy Perry. I believe they have made up. Let's just all try and move on from a fued that started almost 4 years ago. They are both very talented women. End of story.

Someone's threatened by Lady Gaga.

THE LAST ONE LMFAOO

I take Madonna's pause on Lady Gaga as a implied compliment, she didn't do that on other super stars, like Queen B or Katy. Madonna is not only the Queen of Pop, but also The Game Changer of Pop music industry. She is revolutionary on game rules of pop industry, and on the image of female artists as a whole. I think she knows Gaga have the greatest potential to be the next game changer in the next decades.

She should have said Mariah Carey too!

I love Madonna she's a genius

Madonna wanted to say more about P!nk (...she's cool and....) but Ellen interrupted her. P!nk is the one that deserved a more eloquent and positive answer from the Queen herself. Madonna gave the best compliments to the ones I don't really like instead lol.

An artist talks about other artists' talent, dedication, work ethic, morals & values, and actions... That's the difference between an artist and a celebrity

How can you not love her lmaooooooo

i hate the fact that madonna dislikes lady gaga, they are so similar she should feel flattered by her! i grew up listening to Madonna, and i love Lady Gaga, BECAUSE she reminds me of madonna,so i hate the fact that they dislike each other and cant understand fans who like one but hate the other!

Madonna is a funny person. Great comic edge.

Madonna: "Madonna is ranked by the RIAA as the best-selling female rock artist of the 20th century and second best-selling female artist in the United States, with 64.5 million certified albums." Wikipedia (stated as of March 2018) Gaga: "As of January 2016, she has sold an estimated 27 million albums and 146 million singles worldwide." "According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), as of February 2018, Gaga is the fifth-best-selling digital singles artist in the United States, with cumulative single certifications of 61 million digital downloads and on-demand streaming" You cannot easily compare Madonna and Gaga. Back in the day, they didn't have digital downloads. They had records, cassettes and CDs. Since Madonna phases out and Gaga phases in, everything would have to be considered, including KZfaq views, and digital downloads of singles vs complete albums. It would take a year of Sunday's to figure out, especially considering all platforms and types of media. Bottom line is, Madonna was a legend and always will be, and so is Gaga. They are both known for their antics and making a bold statement. In my opinion, Madonna has turned into the mother hen who hates all the women climbing the ladder. Her "sexiness" was her identity and for some stupid reason she now makes a fool of herself by showing her disgust towards others who are successful, again proving her anger at the loss of admiration and attention. Her public statements and songs have turned ludicrous. She's not handling the success of others very well and is very moody and spiteful sounding. Her interviews seem as if she wants the right to still have that attitude, but she should probably figure out a way to collaborate with these artists instead of being such a baby. Look at the carpool karaoke (Late Late Show) and the difference in how they both conducted themselves. Gaga smoked Madonna in views. Madonna is played out worldwide but not necessarily as much in UK as USA. Either way, Gaga has a long way to go before she's done. It's still Spring time for her, while it's late Fall for Madonna, who is double her age.

"Brittany Spears" Madona:......Great kisser

Notice how Madonna NEVER brings up gaga. She's simply not afraid to answer questions honestly.

Elton john..nice ass xD this made me laugh. i did not expect that.

she should have asked about mariah

But the truth is, Madonna is not talented! WAKE UP! How can you all have been fools for so long now! The only thing that is good about her performances are the visuals. And thats not her lol. She is a bad singer, and everyone who has been dancing for 35 years would be better then that. sorry guys, Lady Gaga has potential, and one day, people will realize that she's a much better Queen of Pop. Paws up!

Elton John... "nice ass!" LOL

Lady Gaga and Madonna should do a duet. i bet Lady G would outsing Madonna a million times. She has a much more powerful voice

The best is Elton john

Everyone's talking about Gaga but nobody's talking about Elton John lmao

About Elton John...😹😹 it was an epic answer.

se a voz da Lady Gaga é SÓ boa, imagino a da Madonna (as duas são amigas e eu amo as duas)

ellen should have mentioned christina aguilera as well..

Ellen should have given her a heads up first, Madonna could have come up with some clever quips and made it sound candid. It was a little boring because it was so on the spot and she didn't have time to think of anything really good.

Where can I find that second image of Gaga

HOW ABOUT CHER HENNY HMMM???

QUEEN OF POP

lady gaga: QUEEN

Madonna doesn't hate Lady Gaga and supports lady gaga and I as a massive Madonna fan also support and love lady gaga ❤️

I love Madonna soo much I really really want to meet her!!!

lol I love Madonna's openness. She didn't just experiment in college lol

Haha "Nice ass" to Elton John was a sly dig at him being an ass lol Whether she throws shade or not, its her opinion... who cares? I dont even care for Madonna, but shes a queen in tbe music world...ehether she was throwing sly shade at Gaga or not, she has right to het opinions. When Gaga maintains a career for three decades, she earns the right to express herself however she likes.

Mandy Rain "RIOT" Single Hi there, Mandy really appreciates your support. Please buy her new single "RIOT" on iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/album/riot/id796758613?i=796758619&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 Thx

Reminds me of Aretha Franklin when talking about taylor swift "beautiful gowns"

I love LADY GAGA

Madonna doesn't have to acknowledge Gaga, nor does Lady Gaga even need her approval. Besides, Stefani is genuinely more talented let's be real.

I Iove how all superstars in the entertainment industry respects Beyoncé.

ellen looked so shy and didn't talk so much here I think she was attracted to madonna

See Madonna says nice voice about Lady Gaga& then conpliments her more on her tattoo!!! I think this fake feud has gone on long enough its stupid Madonnas never dissed her. Madonnas a much classier woman in that reguard ;)

Besides the " fake fued" between Lady Gaga and Madonna started when they did SNL skit together, its a joke! For publicity maybe but watch the SNL show where they are pulling each others hair& lol anyone with a brain should see thats all its ever been!!!!😛

Wow kudos to Ellen confronting Madonna of all people about possibly getting her sick. Bold! I'm impressed.

I love this interview with her.

Love Madonna she have a funny personality

You know, to be completely blunt, I've grown up with Madonna. I'm only 25. And Ever since I was young I've grown up With Madonna and have loved her music. Same thing with Gaga since she came out with Just Dance. I've fallen for Gaga and her demeanor. It's rare you see an artist actually only say good things about people. Not wanting to start shit with others. And for Madonna to be in the industry forever and to be so cruel makes me lose about all respect for her.

I think gaga is the real hero here I could not care less about anyone else's view on her

And that's why she is the queen of pop

All of u guys saying gagas album was a flop keep in mind she couldnt perform for 7 months or write for the seven months because she broke her hip onstage while performing! So yeah madonna may be great but gaga has her reasons!

So they sell geometric bras now.

I love Madonna and Lady gaga so much 😭💜

Madonna was thinking about better adjectives to describe the artists, hence the pause. Chill y'all!

I don't appreciate how Madonna has such a terrible attitude when it comes to other singers. she should respect them just like she craves to be respected. If she wanted to be considered a "Queen of Pop" She should act like one!

See how easy Ellen can ask Madonna about Gaga, cause Ellen knows Madonna is game and not a sore loser. But with Gaga, Ellen seemed to be careful not to piss the Gargoyle with the "M" word. Ellen loves and adores Madonna more than Gaga.

they still like each other clearly… i like both :)

wew does anyone heard the last beat played? it was DONATELLA from ARTPOP!!!!

I love Lady Gaga ❤️

One thing is for sure, It AINT Britney Spears that Madonna will be the successor for.

I died with that "nice ass" LMAO

i like how careful and open she is!!!

As the new supreme's power grows, the old supreme gets weaker and weaker...

madonna and her fans are so threatened by gaga thats why this stupid drama started in the first place. i see no madonna fans complain about brit or riri or katy even if they also were inspired by something madonna was inspired by too all those years ago :)

Elton John: "nice ass" lmaoo

madonna has earned her title and position in the diva world...and was on top when lady gaga was...unknown.

Hahaha I would love to meet Madonna someday. She looks like tons of fun.

Madonna's music is awful nowadays. She just doesn't have the same edge that she used to,even in her live performances!

What did she say about Gaga? I didn't completely get it because English is not my language.

People are acting like her pause was shade, but she even said herself she was dragging it out to take the piss out of everyone anticipating shade. Madge isn’t coy, if she has something bad to say she will say it. It’s safe to say she doesn’t have an issue with Gaga anymore (or even at all ever)
