Cyndi Lauper says her record label tried to pit her against Madonna in the '80s, but she wasn't having it.

The record executives even wanted the"All Through the Night" singer to compete with Madge, according to a new interview that Lauper did with"As if you could only have one woman who is successful. What the hell is that about?" Lauper said. "That woman's been entertaining us for years. She's made great pop songs. I want to be competitive, but not pitted against another woman. I'm not into that.

"I don’t know what that path would have been," the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer said. "It might have been easier for a while, but I wanted to learn. And, honestly, I just always wanted to be a great artist."
