Madonna: Official Topic

That's too bad. Long lines, short show and long speeches! I even saw on YT where she was coughing through a song. Was she sick and couldn't do a full show? Was it meant to be this short? I feel for the fans who camped for two days and paid 280 euros to get this kind of show.

It's hard to believe I was at the same show as some of these reviews are coming from.

 

I bought my ticket knowing well that this would be a shorter promotional concert.

These articles lead you to believe that everyone was protesting, but that is simply not true.

 

During the show the energy was like no other. The room shook. Everyone was happy. Then the show ended. Maybe earlier than it was supposed to (it was hotter than the hubs of hell). It ended rather abruptly, but I left very happy. Ignoring the few people that cried out in disdain.

 

Was the show short? Yes. Too short. Especially after waiting so long. But it was longer than I expected and I enjoyed myself so much. Being so close was a treat.

This actually makes sense, given that some of the people causing the mess had PRE-MADE signs that had been printed.

EXCLUSIVE: Madonna -- Swastika Backlash Fueled Paris Riot

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That riot at a Madonna concert in Paris had nothing to do with her brief performance -- it was payback for Madge's repeated use of a video featuring a swastika on a French politician ... this according to fans at the show and sources connected to the venue.TMZ spoke with several people who were in the crowd Thursday night (and have been to several of Madonna's recent concerts). They say there were 10 or so "fans" in the audience who started the ruckus ... and those people were overheard yelling about Marine Le Pen.We're told several members of this group we're holding up signs they'd brought to show support for Le Pen.Madonna has been at odds with Le Pen ever since she started projecting the right-wing leader's face -- with a swastika over it -- during this tour.We're told local police spoke to members of Madonna's crew the day after the concert ... and said they believe the riot was preplanned by a group of locals looking to cause trouble. According to our sources, the majority of Madonna fans knew to expect a short show -- as all her club dates tend to be -- so that could not have been the cause of the riot.

Madonna Paris concert reports proven false by French version of FBI and fans

 

Madonna

July 29, 2012

By: Edward Daily

 

 

For the past couple of days, the media has enjoyed a field day reporting on how Madonna's career is over with since she was booed off stage at a private Paris concert. They have been doing this despite the fact that videos show the crowd having a great time and dancing. To make the story more believable, the media emphasized how after the show, "fans" threw bottles at the stage and called her a "slut." Until now, nobody looked into the allegations.

 

It turns out that many fans did feel shortchanged due to lack of communication on how the show would be shorter. But the actual riots and the screaming were started by supporters of Marine Le Pen, the leader of the far right National Front in Paris. Apparently, they are still upset that Madonna compares Le Pen to a Nazi in her tour. Even though Le Pen isn't a Nazi, the National Front has been accused of having Nazi ties and until recently, denied the Holocaust existed.

 

The French DST (equivalent to FBI in America) reported that a disturbance was planned, whether Madonna left early or not. There were several people holding up signs that made fun of Madonna's age, sexuality, and political affiliations. Once the show stopped, they started calling her rude names, rushed the stage with bottles, and encouraged others to boo. They took videos and uploaded them to YouTube immediately.

 

But Le Pen's supporters aren't the only ones involved. On several sites, many of Lady Gaga's "little monsters" are asking each other to post messages everywhere to say they can confirm Madonna is a liar since they were at the show. They are even posting false pictures of themselves at concerts and saying it was Madonna's Paris show. It's doubtful Lady Gaga would approve of this.

 

One fan emailed us and explained that he and his friends had an amazing time, but were certainly disappointed about the show's lengh. "Madonna was in top form. It's a shame she left early, but we still had a great time. I can tell you from being there that her own 'fans' did not start any riots. That is just media spin. There are people negatively commenting on Twitter who claim to have been at the show, but weren't. I can tell you 100 percent of what happened because I was there."

Some Madonna Fans want to get fefund from Live Nation for the Olympia concert.

 

They organized a facebook page :

They mainly complain that the concert was too expensive for only 11 songs.

 

I like her performance of the song '''Je T'aime... Moi Non Plus'' ^_^ I'd love a studio version of it.

Did she sing Holiday there?? I hope she adds that back for MSG! Going for the third time.. I'm addicted to this tour, it's beyond amazing. :-D Rumor has it that the blu-ray DVD will be filmed at either MSG or in Colombia.

Nope, no "Holiday."

The DVD was filmed last week in Miami.

I was at the 2nd show in Miami on Nov. 20th ... the first night people were not happy since she started late ...

 

on the second night she did start late again but nobody booed ... people were still in the halls walking/chatting/buying drinks and food around 9.30pm ... so why would she start on time if most of the seats were still empty???

 

when she came to the stage ... the crowd went wild ... and like Madonna ... she said "you are a much better crowd than last night"

 

I do understand that people were not happy with her starting late, but I can imagine that the same thing happened and most of the peopl were still in the halls chatting and walking around ... so she waited until every one was seated to start ... why would she start filming if the seats were empty ??? I wouldn't want a DVD filmed like that ...

 

anyways, it was a great show ... and my favorite moment of the night was when she did "Like a Prayer" ... it was unbelievable ... the entire arena was up in their chairs, singing, clapping hands and dancing ... it was something I have never seen before in this magnitude ... every single soul in that arena was having the time of their life ... I can not wait to relive that part of the show on DVD ... absolutely amazing!!!

 

oh and it was my very first Madonna show ...

I saw the show in Amsterdam and I really loved it. She starts late at every show. She even admitted it in various interviews (Brasil and on Ellen).

I really loved her doing so many new songs. But I noticed the non-fans wanted more hits.

I loved this tour. It was the closest I'd ever been to the stage. My co-worker and I were actually discussing the show today and it turns out she was at the same one, same night, probably no more than 50-100 feet from me!

 

It was incredible, she sang Love Spent for the first time at my concert. :wub:

Cool! How come you'd never seen her before? Just never got around to it? :w00t: I've seen her in 2006/2008/2012. I was discussing THAT with my co-worker too. The last time she did my favorite song of hers, Express Yourself, was the last tour she did before I began seeing her regularly. Hopefully again some day. :cry:

I have always wanted to but never got myself to do that ... and once I went to Las Vegas to see Celine, it made me realize that I could do and see who ever I wanted to ... so since 2007 I have flying around to see the artists I admire ... and it wasn't until last year that I could finally see Madonna ...

She's so copying one of Marlene Dietrich's iconic looks here. She looks almost like her clone!

Please. Marlene Dietrich wasn't the first woman in a suit.

Besides, if you remember correctly, it's not her first time rocking a suit. She did so on her Girlie Show.

Ah, the Girlie Show! I would say The Girlie Show is my favorite Madonna tour. It toured such a dark album, one Madonna even called "grumpy" last year if I'm not mistaken. Yet the show is quite cheerful and I would say more naturally friendly than most of Madonna's live presentations as the tours became increasingly sophisticated and calculated. It still has its somber moments which is great, but I like the balance it achieved. If I could go back in time to see one Madonna tour, this would be the one. Plus Erotica is in my top tier of her albums, and to see so many of those songs live would have put me in my grave. :cry:

This too was to honour Marlene Dietrich. I really loved it. My favorite Like A Virgin live version!

Really, my least favorite version of "LAV." I've always loved her Confessions Tour version of it.
