Pop madness: Madonna is keeping quiet after Elton John made a crack at her expense on Good Morning America, on the heels of the recent Golden Globes award ceremony where John's husband David Furnish publicly criticized the Material Girl for her win.

After the Globes win, Madonna spoke to John and Furnish's mutual wrath saying she “doesn’t feel bad” about taking home the Golden Globe for Best Original Song, despite getting the stink from Furnish.

“I hope he speaks to me,” Madonna told ABC News backstage at last night’s Golden Globes. “He’s known to get mad at me, [but] he’ll win another award. I don’t feel bad.”

Elton John and his partner David Furnish were reportedly irate that Madonna’s song “Masterpiece” from her upcoming film, ”W.E.,” beat out John’s  “Hello, Hello” from the animated feature ”Gnomeo and Juliet.”

TMZ first reported that Furnish took to his Facebook fan page and wrote: “Madonna. Best song???? F— off!!!”

“Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit,” Furnish continued writing on Facebook. ”Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in it’s narcissism.”

Now it continues as Elton John's remarks about Madonna's upcoming Sunday's Super Bowl halftime performance were shared with the world: "Make sure you lip-sync good," he said in the GMA interview.

Madonna has ignored John's recent barbs so far.

Elton, 64, is starring in a Pepsi ad with FOX's "X Factor" winner Melanie Amaro. "The Super Bowl is always an event, no matter where you are in the world," John said on Good Morning America.
