Cyndi Lauper Wishes She and Madonna Were Friends, Not Competing, in ‘80s

Cyndi Lauper is opening up about being pitted against fellow pop icon Madonna in the 1980s and said she wishes they were friends at the time

The singer recalled being pitted against fellow pop icon Madonna by fans and the music industry while they were both up-and-coming stars in the 1980s.

Lauper went on to lament the way she and the “Material Girl” singer were often considered each other’s competition, adding: “I would have liked to have a friend.” In 1985, Lionel Richie chose Lauper over Madonna, 65, to feature on the charity song, “We Are the World,” which he now admits to regretting.
