Recordings leaked of Madonna out-of-tune Eurovision rehearsals

Madonna was the talk of the Eurovision Song Contest last night but not for the reasons she would've liked.

The Queen of Pop came under criticism from fans for her "out of tune" performance , which was the first time commentators heard Madonna sing, after all her rehearsals were held in private.

But now recordings of leaked rehearsal footage has emerged. And it's about the same standard as the live show.

In the recordings, Madonna performs "Like a Prayer," the song she sang on the night, and it's less than impressive.

The 60-year-old singer arrived in Tel Aviv for one last rehearsal.

According to Israel Today, the production team were asked to leave the hall to prevent photographs being leaked.

However the vocals were recorded.

"When she did it, they turned off the screens behind the scenes, but the speakers worked and heard everything," a participant told Israel today.

"She did not stop spoofing shamefully and everyone took out phones to record it."

The Vogue singer had been dogged by calls from the pro-Palestine Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign to cancel her appearance, but still took part.

Favourites Netherlands won the competition, and the UK came last.
