Why does the media always pit women against each other? We've all heard stars trot that line out whenever they're asked about the possibility of disharmony in pop music. But like with most things, where there is smoke, you're almost guaranteed there will be fire. And sometimes, between all of those carefully PR-orchestrated moments, pop stars reveal what they truly think of each other. Here are some of the more eventful feuds that have gripped the music industry.
Mariah Carey vs Madonna
Back before the baby popstars first entered the scene, there was one young diva making her way on the scene in 1995. Her name was Mariah Carey and she immediately got Madonna off-side. Madonna was once quoted as saying Carey was "not particularly bright" and that she would rather kill herself than be her.
Carey bit back and told an interviewer that she hadn't paid attention to Madonna since 7th or 8th grade. "When she used to be popular," Carey said, with a laugh. In an obvious dig at Madonna in another interview, Carey said she doesn't like it when Americans move to England and suddenly develop an accent.
"Sorry I can't help jumping into the little joke English accent, have a laugh, but when I do it I know I'm joking, clearly I'm from New York. It's not like let me coming here and pretending I've got an English accent cause I want to pretend to be fabulous."
Then this year, Carey's new billionaire beau James Packer spoke about music legends with impressive vocals. "Who else is there? There is Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. Not Madonna - those other three can sing five octaves."
