James Morrison is a 24 year-old British singer who was born James Morrison Catchpole but dropped his last name professionally to have the same moniker as the late lead singer of the Doors. You may know him from his successful single “You Give Me Something” from his 2006 debut album “Undiscovered,” which went on to critical and commercial success and sold over a million copies. Morrison recently talked about the first time he met Madonna in which he was perfectly civil to her but she treated him like a pariah. He called her “just rude” and added that “there’s no excuse for it.”
James Morrison has described Madonna as the rudest popstar he has ever met.
The singer-songwriter revealed how he was introduced to the pop icon while working on new material in Los Angeles.
He told Metro: “I’m not her biggest fan but thought I’d say hello so I went over and said, ‘Hello, I’m James, nice to meet you,’ and put my hand out to shake hands. She just looked at it and said, ‘And what do you do?’ I told her I was a singer and she just stared at me and didn’t say anything.
“It was really uncomfortable. Then she just ignored me. F**k her, though, it’s just a matter of common courtesy. It doesn’t matter what someone does for a living. She’s just rude. There’s no excuse for it.”
Morrison’s new album For You, Truths For Me will be released on September 29. Its first single ‘You Make It Real’ will arrive in stores the week before.

Maybe Madonna thought he was just a fan or something, but she shouldn’t even treat her fans that way. She’s so full of herself it’s incredible. If the guy was wearing a red bracelet and dropped some Kabbalah terms she’d probably warm right up and start in with the cult speak.
Madonna is said to have put on a rolicking good show in London last night. Her celebrity friends Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson, and singer Fergie were in the audience looking visibly impressed. She can still bring it even if she’s so far up her own ass she’ll never need another colonic.
In related Madonna news her husband Guy Ritchie celebrated his 40th birthday out at his pub The Punchbowl on Wednesday night. Madonna came and went with the children at 10pm after about an hour, with Guy partying until 4:30 am. Guests including Sting’s wife Trudie Styler, David Gest and Jamie Hince, feasted on traditional British pies stuffed with fish, egg and chicken, and sang English songs.
Here’s James Morrison’s video “You Make It Real” in honor of a musician who talks smack about Madonna.
And here’s “You Give Me Something”

thing is…he is just what he is, he is not trying to be anything else other than that!
James is not criticizing anything but her attitude, which we know pretty much stinks!I really don´t care how well she can spread her legs! ew
-
In 2008, in the twilight of her career, Madonna is irrelevant.
-
Ugh. if this is true, i just want to punch her in the face. so done with her.
-
He’s hot and she is a relic.
Her face as expressionless as a sarcophagus. I think I’ll call her Sarco.
Yawn.Why is Britney’s face on a giant screen behind her?
-
I like James Morrison’s music a lot. He has no reason to lie about this encounter. She really is a self-absorbed twat. She has totally forgotten where she came from.
-
You know what’s weird? I was looking at the audience pics of Madonna’s concert and I thought I was seeing Cindy and Meghan McCain - turns out it was just Dame Gwyneth and Kate Hudson. I think that’s the signal that the overly bleached-and-botoxed look is officially over.
-
I think he sounds great and has a decent voice;I might actually spend money on this, unlike her music which has always left me cold. Take your millions and retire somewhere far, far away Madge.
-
The celebs looked more impressed with each other than Madonna’s show…
-
Somebody please take that guitar she’s violating and beat her over the head with it.
-
I don’t get her need for constant motion. She can’t get enough of the touring, the rehearsing, the training . . . Her marriage is trashed, she’s never happy where she lives. When she lived in the States, she wanted to move to Europe. She moved to England and decided she didn’t like it there. Now she’s moving to New York.
This is one miserable b*tch, ladies and gentlemen, because she won’t allow herself to be happy. -
I don’t think she’s ever reinvented herself. She’s always been a skanky slut. She just gets skankier with time. Or is that for the very first time tonight?
-
what a disgusting hag.
Good for james for not being afraid to be the one to step away from the pack and say the truth. The emperor has no clothes, people.
That makes me want to buy his C.D. Seriously.
-
She looks like a gladiator. Not feminine at all, just muscly and butch. I wish she´d keep her legs shut as well, Wembley is draughty enough without the wind blowing from her stinky wrinkly old cooter.
-
Uh, from what I heard the Wembley concert last night got mixed reviews. Weren’t there a lot of problems with the sound system?
-
madonna is so full of herself…there’s no excuse for her behavior..what a bitch!
-
Reinvented herself? I’d say grabbed on to every fad started by another successful signer every time she has a new album out.
-
Madonna is perhaps the least significant person on the planet.

It would be much easier to honor him if only his own music wouldn’t suck that much. I’ll take a Madonna video every day over this.
