Madonna, Lady Gaga battle over Berlin gig headline slot?

Madonna and Lady Gaga are reportedly competing to win the prestigious headline slot at an upcoming concert in Berlin, Germany.

The concert is set to take place on November 9, and has been organised to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.

The concert’s organisers reportedly want both Madonna and Gaga to perform, but each singer is said to be refusing to serve as a “support act” for the other, meaning the organisers may be forced to choose between them.

“Madonna and Gaga are equally desperate for the honour of performing,” a so-called ‘insider’ apparently told the Daily Star. “They both like to think of themselves as very political, and will also have new albums to promote by then. It could reignite their long-running feud as the date draws nearer because neither are used to being told no.”

The ‘insider’ then apparently added: “However, it’s highly likely organisers would choose the Queen of Pop over Gaga, if push came to shove.”

The supposed “feud” between Madonna and Gaga dates back to 2012, when the Queen of Pop branded Gaga’s hit Born This Way “reductive”. Madonna later performed a mash-up of Express Yourself and Gaga’s Born This Way during her ‘MDNA World Tour’, highlighting the similarities between the songs.

Meanwhile, Madonna has recently hinted that she may be recording a duet with Miley Cyrus – click here for all the details.
