In a never before seen letter that is now up
for auction, singer Madonna called her biggest rival at the time Whitney
Houston a 'horribly mediocre' singer after Whitney
granted an interview in 1988
calling Madonna revolting.
In the letter, the singer describes Whitney
Houston and Sharon Stone as ?horribly mediocre,? saying she would ?rather die?
than be ?these women?.
?I have made so many people angry that I?m
being punished and basically made to be quiet and sit in a corner, while other
less interesting and exciting people are reaping the benefits of the roads I?ve
paved. Maybe this is what black people felt like when Elvis finally got huge.?
?It?s so unequivocally frustrating to read
that Whitney Houston has the music career I wish I had and Sharon Stone has the
film career I?ll never have.
?Not because I want to be these women because
I?d rather die, but they?re so horribly mediocre and they?re always being held
up as paragons of virtue and some sort of measuring stick to humiliate me.
?Everything I do is so original and unique and
I put so much of myself into it like my book and record and it?s only brought
me heartache and pain.
?I don?t think I can play the game to be
accepted. I?m too intelligent, I have too much pride.?
Now, according to the Huffington Post, the
letter which was obtained from Madonna?s long time friend, Darlene Lutz will be
put up for auction, expecting to reel in between $3,000 to $5,000.
In the wake of the auction, Stone penned a
letter of her own, condemning the publishing of the singer?s public letters.
?Dear Madonna, First, I think it?s absurd that
anyone is publishing your private letters. Therefore; I publish publicly. Know
that I am your friend. I have wished to be a rock star in some private moments?
have felt as mediocre as you described. We know, as only those who have survived
so long that owning our own mediocrity is the only way to own our own
strengths; to become all that we both have become,? she wrote.
?I love and adore you; won?t be pitted against
you by any invasion of our personal journeys. Sharon.?
