Her old sparring partner Elton John declared that Madonna didn't "have a chance of winning" a Golden Globe.When a reporter suggested "those were fighting words," he replied: "No, those are accurate words." But the Queen of Pop had the last laugh. She beat Elton to the trophy for best original song.
