"She meant it as a COMPLIMENT."

After performing for only 45 minutes, the pop star incurred the wrath of concertgoers who gathered in front of the Paris concert venue to demand their money back.
French fans took Madonna’s “Express Yourself” lyrics seriously on Thursday night when they booed and expressed anger at the singer for cutting her show at famed Paris concert hall l’Olympia short after around just 45 minutes. After Madonna left the stage, fans remained in their seats booing and yelling insults like “salope,” the French word for “slut.” PHOTOS: Madonna's Iconic Career and Life in Pictures Madonna took the stage around 10:15 p.m. and finished around 11 p.m. The concert venue was filled mostly with big Madonna fans since the tickets for the show were available only to members of her official fan club before being released for sale to the general public. The concert was broadcast live via YouTube. The supplementary concert was added to the singer’s tour just last week and was sold out after just a few hours, with Material Girl devotees paying from 80 to more than 280 euros for the limited seats. Hundreds of fans gathered outside several hours before the show to fill the Olympia’s 2,700 seats and many slept on the streets overnight from Wednesday to Thursday. After the show, many of them gathered in the streets in front of the theater and yelled “remboursez! remboursez!” which means “give us our money back!” in French.
Her loyal fans aren't the only ones angry at the pop star. A July 14 concert at the Stade de France incurred the wrath of French right-wing politician Marine Le Pen, who is pressing charges after Madonna screened a video featuring a photo of Le Pen’s face with a swastika superimposed on it.

After this, Madonna should write a new song...

"She meant it as a COMPLIMENT."
By coincidence, I recently saw a video of a 1990 concert Madonna gave in Nice. She was doing the shock and offend stuff back then, and had quite the potty mouth in her stage banter between sets. She even told a fairly naughty joke (the one that ends, “Oh no! Now the fish are going to smell like that!”) Thing was... this was Nice, France. She told the joke in English. Came to the punchline. Absolute silence. The thousands upon thousands of people in the crowd hadn’t understood a word of it. She recovered by saying “I knew you’d like that,” probably in the script anyway, and went on to the next song. The audience liked her songs well enough (music the universal language and all that), but only when she tossed out a few words in French now and then between sets did the audience respond to her stage gab. Didn’t somebody on staff wonder why they were leaving in the English bits in the script when they were doing a concert in France?
Good for the FRENCH!! She IS a SLUT!
This sounds more like some PR stunt to try to artifically resurect a “shark jumped” career. Nothing invigorates her fan base more than a little sympathy.
Why the codpiece in Madonna’s pants?
It’s not a codpiece. It’s a codfish.
I've said this all her career and I don't really even like her music: Madonna is a talented performer, good songwriter, and one of the hardest working women in music, but she is an absolute abysmal skank!
Not that I really care about anything related to Madonna but...did you even read the article you posted???
People booed after she left the stage early - having provided only 45 mins of "entertainment." I.e. people wanted MORE.
You pay money to see a slut. Then you’re outraged because she’s slutty? How very French ...
She used to be a smart girl. I recall one interview with her way back in her peak, and I was pretty amazed by how candid she was about the whole showbiz thing. She said she planned to push the limits for a few years, make a ton of money, and live happily thereafter.
<><><><><
It is still what she is doing and she is still making a ton of money.
I didnt like her back in the day, don’t like her now, but she is one hell of a successful self promoter. If that’s the basis for calling someone smart, she’s close to brilliant.
OK. I was the guy at the record store (yes the record store) who would ask the clerks why Madonna was listed as an artist, and why Kenny G records were in the jazz section.
ROFL!!!!
(acetonitrile???)
I would have asked why do they even carry Kenny G records.
So naturally they would riot.
"Salope" sounds like a useful word (don't worry, I looked it up.)
i know sluts with more class in their little finger than Madge has...
Thanks Cincinna.
Moving on to classy girls, was Nicole on hand at the GP for Big Lew’s win?
I haven’t watched it yet, since there was another race in town today.
