James Morrison has revealed how he was once snubbed by Madonna.
The Please Don’t Stop The Rain singer admitted he wasn’t the Queen of Pop’s biggest fan in the first place, and his opinions didn’t change much when the diva didn’t seem interested in an introduction.
“I was really nervous – whether you like her or not, she’s still Madonna!” James said on This Morning.
“I just said ‘hello, pleased to meet you’ and she just looked at my hand and said ‘what do you do?’ and I just felt really awkward and thought, ‘ahh, I’ve been snubbed by Madonna!’”
He continued: “I did think it was a bit rude but you get over it. I would’ve been kind of disappointed if she was really nice though, you know?’”
James explained that he didn’t like Madonna because of her live performances.
“I’ve never been a massive fan of Madonna – but I see why she’s as big as she is… she changes with the times which is amazing but I’ve never liked her singing and I don’t think she can sing live,” said James.

He should be glad to be in madge’s presence, not complaining that she didn’t know him. He’s just upset that she didnt acknowledge him, ahh, poor james.
See I agree with the idea of not keeping up with todays pop culture. It’s not like it used to be. The industry has stopped recognizing or searching for real talent. Now it seems to be celeb parents entering their children into the profession.
James who is wot we will be saying in say even 2 years times never mind 25 + like Madge. How dare he say he dont like Madonna Live whats he know has he been to one of her gigs???? its called entertaining a crowd not just by singing but dancing as well NOT boring people by being sat on a stool like he prob does all nite thro a gig zzzzzzzzzzzz
How dare he have his own opinion! Off with his head!
Wow, its funny and yet sad how some of you are willing to standby any type of bad manners exhibited by Madonna. I’m a Madonna fan as well, but I’m not going to say that not shaking someone’s hand when they extend it out to you in a friendly and introductory gesture is okay. That is just plain rude. Its one thing to not shake someones hand b/c your own hands are dirty or their hands are visibly dirty, but to just look at it and ignore it is rude.
I’m sure if the situation had been reversed and Madonna had extended her hand and he ignored it, all of you would be saying he is rude and how dare he not shake her hand. Its true. Some of you are so biased toward M that you will overlook common decent behavior and politeness. That’s just f’d up!
madonna snubbed him…hmmm…i think she’s right!
i don’t like talking to strangers too
whether he likes her or not, she’s still the ultimate Queen.
Why does he care? If I don’t like someone I don’t need him/ her to like me, and don’t want to contact them in the first place … What a hypocrite!
well..u don’t just shake hands with stranger who introduce himself directly to u…its like when ur strolling in the mall then suddenly this person turns up to u and intro himself and offer a handshake..would u shake his/her hand?? NO WAY!!!..
at least this james sumthin has a story to tell to his grandchildren..”MADONNA snubbed me..!!! great!!!”
james who???ahahha love it thats why i love her.powerfull bitch till the end.
i heard this story months ago he is the one thats up himself up-set cause madonnas never heard of him brused his ego lol now people will know him as the block madonna snubbed pmsl
james!!! you son of bi**h ..dont compare your carrer with madonna! she is number one and she is the queen!! god bless the QUEEN <3
Hand shaking can be a form of passive aggression, and a surefire way of being zapped of essential energy.
let’s analyse:
HE was never a fan of her music dancing or shows but he was really nervous to meet her.never was a fan but said she is ‘amazing’.He continued: “I did think it was a bit rude but you get over it.
i say apparently he did not.what a looser…
James Morrison has made music with Nelly Furtado who is MUCH MUCH MUCH more talented than Madonna!
I never heard of this guy. Pop culture is trash. Madonna hates all that stuff two. When she did will and grace, she said she never even saw the show. And when she met will in person she asked him, “who are you?” and demanded that she not have any scenes with that loser. She heard of a britney “peers”. but could care less until she worked on publicity stunt with her. All this pop culture people suck and madonna knows it. She loves real art (see igttyas when she visits her avant-garde piano friends. see her frida khalo collection…the list is enormous of great art she loves.) rightly so should she diss these silly pop stars from tv and radio.
LOLLLLLLL ridicules something that she herself is?
Madonna calls herself a “performance artist”. she has stated in interviews that she hates being called that a “pop star”. madonna is a true artist unlike all those bimbos you guys talk about on here.
hey bro…
Nice to hear how big your dick is, but…
Give me a break. Of course she knew the actor that played Will was and she DEFINITELY knew who Britney Spears was, before performing with her and Christina Aguilera. C’mon!
the actor who plays will complained about it in an interview. she never knew and never cared, nor should she.
This story is so old.
So she asked him who he was…whats the big deal?
this gossip was 3 months ago ,… get over people! ok i gonna give u a data i was talking with some dancer almost diary on twitter…. and they said that she is great , lovely person, so demanding for work she is de bosss! but never she is rude with the crew, no diva poses! that morrison put ur words in your ass!
they are all the payroll…..signed a gaga order and she is using them to her benefit………so some reg joe on the street she has no need to be nice to.
It’s common courtesy and politeness to shake someone’s hand when offered in introduction, NOT stare at it and ask “what do you do”? – TACT is not one of M’s strong points. RUDENESS obviously is.
Whos is that guy? Never heard about it. And Sara is back, full of joy and positivity. Of course, the rude is Madonna, even this guy is insulting her 4 times in a sentence.
M needs my big long thick black cock to straighten her out..bitch needs to RELAX!
WHO THE HELL IS JAMES MORISSON ????????????????
A singer that become fameus with collaborating
with Nelly Furtado in hes single Broken Strings
it was worldwide succsessful!
happy?
Who is James Morrison? “Madonna snubbed me”….is this guy an adult or a five year old boy?
Sounds like he has a small set of balls – he keeps repeating the story – yawn – and just because she didn’t kiss his ass. When did this happen, 15 years ago? His comments about her inability to sing live are proven wrong by the fact that she’s the most successful live performer – LOL – he’s obviously still crying.
who is james morrison????????????
Seems like she is true to her bitchy reputation.
So much for the teachings of Kabbalah to be kind and nice to other people, b/c after all we are all sources of light (blah blah blah).
As for those saying, New Yorkers don’t shake hands? What the hell is that about? Ofcourse we NY’ers shake hands, just like anyone else from anywhere else.
The point however is, she was in an situation where someone was trying introduce themselves, offering their hand in a friendly salute and she chose to ignore it. That’s rude! She could have easily shaken his hand and then asked questions. But to look at someones out-held hand and ignore it, thats bad manners and just egotistical behavior. He should have raised his hand a couple of inches and slapped it across her face! (Thats a joke by the way, I don’t condone violence.)
I wish everyone would stop pretending and admit that Madonna is NOT a very nice person…she’s a bitch, a beotch, a cunt, a snob, an elitist etc etc and that behavior is NEVER cool. One day the dirt will come out about her and its gonna be UGLY.
You are right… I’m sure there are former employees, assistants, and nannies just waiting to let out the truth. They are probably waiting for her to die so they will be out of their gag-order contracts and finally tell the truth about this cold unfriendly bitch!
The “dirt” comes out about her all the time. It has been since the beginning.
What else is there to hear that we haven’t already heard?
Um, has anybody ever thought that perhaps she doesn’t even know who he is?? Obviously she didn’t. I wouldn’t know him if I saw him. Get off of it people,
she isn’t a touchy/feely person. Get over it.
dat bitch be mean.
He was obviously introducing himself.
The polite thing to do would be to shake someones hand when offered.
She isn’t touchy feely? Huh, have you heard of Madonna? She’s practically screwed all of Hollywood, the NBA, and MLB! So much for not being touchy feely!
Whatever. You know what I meant. She isn’t touchy/feely when she first meets someone, it takes her awhile to let people in. And who cares who she fucked?? At least he got a story out of it. Let’s move on.
But why is it that NO ONE ever tells a story where they were snubbed by Madonna and then they told her off????…..she must feel like meeting the mafia.
Madonna needs some big ole finger snappin queen to set her straight in public.
Who is James Morrison??
I felt it on my fingertips
you´re abandon the love we had
and I never gonnna hide it again
He has said this in a British magazine. He talked about in a Dutch Magazine and now he talks about it again. His PR people sure know how to milk a story. Who cares. Madonna is a bitch we all know it. Again who cares.
She rarely shakes hands. New Yorkers don’t shake hands. It’s the custom she acquired while in New York when she was younger. It doesn’t mean he was snubbed. She’s also a bit tomboyish.
WRONG!!!!…….LOLLLLLLLLL……WE SHAKE HANDS…..SHES JUST A BIG RUDE USER CUNT!
Yeah, maybe YOU do, but I’ve rarely met a New Yorker that shakes hands.
I think you are the one that’s a cunt.
im been called worse….but not when im shaking hands.
i love her… the queen… YES!! she can do that… now at least he can say that.. i was snnubbed by madonna.. its a story to tell… like what he is doing now… :p
prick!
MJ was SOOO nice to his fans!.. Madonna should learn of him!
If it wasen’t for her fans, she would be nothing..
What a jerk she is..
Who is James Morrison and who gives a shit???
oh yes she can..
