Madonna SPEAKS! Responds To Riot During Paris Club Show!

Here it is! Everyone listen up!

The QUEEN has spoken!

In light of the many rumors currently circulating around about the pandemonium that took place at her MDNA show at Paris' l'Olympia, Madonna has taken to her official site to address the controversy, and also clarify that the reports suggesting it was fan backlash due to a shortened set are untrue!

She explains:

"Playing the Olympia was a magical moment for me and it was real treat to do this special show for my fans and be so close to them. Unfortunately at the end of the show - after I left the stage - a few thugs who were not my fans rushed the stage and started throwing plastic bottles pretending to be angry fans. The press reports have focused on this and not the joyous aspect of the evening. But nothing can take away or ruin this very special evening for me and my fans. When I looked out in the audience, everyone I saw had a smile on their face. I look forward to having this wonderful experience again."

And there you go!

Certainly coincides with the reports of angry locals protesting her controversial depiction of French right-wing leader Marine Le Pen in backdrop imagery, and not unhappy fans unsatisfied with the length of her performance!

Such a shame that something she clearly was so excited to partake in has been marred by misinformation!

Thank you for clearing that up, Her Madgesty!

Glad you're not letting the haters get you down!

    30 years and you can't stop talking about her. Secretly….you love and adore her….

    "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."

    Madonna should go away and retire and her time in the spotlight is over?: they've been saying that about her since the 80's.

    she's an old hag? she is aging just like everyone else, except in her case she's showing how to do it awesomely.

    her music sucks? what makes anyone the authority on what music sucks just cuz you aren't getting it? She actually continues to make awesome synth pop with strong lyrics. not everyone's into that genre and it doesn't mean her stuff sucks just cuz you don't like it, yourself.

    She flashes her breast and swastikas just to get attention? She's an artist who is making statements about sexuality, politics, bigotry etc.. and she uses nudity and media and provocative images to do it, and it's what makes her one of the most exciting artists out there rather than just playing it safe.

    She lip-synchs therefore she's a talentless performer? she's actuallyin collaboration incorporating her own written songs, rigorous athletic dance, high fashion, video, singing and playing instruments and unparalleled spectacles. and a lot of us fucking love it.

    even if she didn't make tons of money or have tons of fans, she'd still be just as awesome of an artist to people who get what she's doing. and she'd still be making the world an more awesome place the way she is now as the one of the biggest performers in all of history.

    This is not the truth about the concert. I live in Paris and went to the Stade de France concert which is a large venue and was before the surprise Olympia show .
    The Stade de France venue was a very big letdown, I've seen Madonna many times but this was not a good concert. After the opening act, we had to wait over one hour and a half for Madonna's show to begin. It was literally impossible to see anything, the large screens were so small and nobody was up and dancing. The show was not more than an hour and a half. When she finished, she just left with goodbye and walked off. No encore, no feeling of gratitude for all the people who came out to see her.
    The Olympia show was the same thing. People paid so much money and camped out for her. It was a ripoff for both shows.
    For someone so spiritual, she needs to reflect on how to respect people and change her attitude and future shows.

    I don't want to knock down Madonna, I just want to understand why she disrespected the fans this way and

    Re: NotImpressed – yes, you have a point there…people cant stand powerfull people especially if they are on the top of the game for a long time and even more if its a woman, a woman with guts to fight for what she believes and doesnt give a shit about what they say, they want to bring her down no matter what. its so ridiculous, she doenst give a fuck about these haters, dont they get it? i have been reading in the press since the 90's that she is over, that she is past, even when she was in her late 20's the british press called her "grandma you are done", can you believe this? loool how pathetic the negative and frustrated people are, and the most incredible is that are by the thousands, this means that these thousands are really unhappy and miserable people, and the number is growing, because people are getting more and more frustrated in this world and they put the blame on the ones who are actually having sucess. i pity you all.

    Re: Be-Atch – yes, there must have been some fans who went with the flow because the retarded people from the extreme right party started the violence, but these fans where not happy with the fact that the show was short not the show itself, that was an amazing performance and she had everybody on their knees since it started, everybody was jumping up and down and loving it. it was Madonna at her best.

    Nice of her to call her fans "thugs." I'm sure the fans pretending to be fans were the same ones who had pretend tickets to see her show. And Perez, had it been anyone else who said or did what she did, you'd be raking them over the coals.



  15. 115

    Well she's lying because you can't see anyone's face while you are on stage. As a performer I know that even in small venues you can barely see anything so she's full of crap.



  16. 116

    Re: Vincenti – Boy is that stupid. LOL I'm sorry but Madonna isn't a singer she couldn't carry a tune if you put it in a basket and she already ripped you off once the likely hood that the entire show was mimed is pretty good. Her Natural Voice sounds like Bea Arthur in heat.



  17. 117

    Re: Kimble – All the current ilk suck just as bad as Madonna in one way or another.



  18. 118

    Re: nyandrew – Problem is she isn't a musician Guy Oseary pretty much has kept her going all these years. Plus he knows all her dirty business if she fired him she'd have to kill him.



  19. 119

    Re: KaydenDeen – It's not her age it's the fact that she's the only one that thinks she's great other than the tasteless fools who still rely on Madonna to feel cool



  20. 120

    Re: KaydenDeen – Music causes revolutions music is the game changer the problem is that we have no musicians anymore they are all starving while people like M scrape paper being a no body.



  21. 121

    Re: goodtasteishardtofind – So she has managed to pocket 750 million dollars for being a trash ho with no talent her body and face are a wreck she should probably use 700 million of that to fix her nastiness because she has no music to offer. Get a life Mitt Romney also has a crap load of money as does George Bush you gonna go wave a flag about that? GET REAL!



  22. 122

    Re: marcella – One day she'll be laughing all the way to hell so it all evens out in the end.



  23. 123

    Re: fuck the haters – Dorky! Maybe some people are aware how classless and talentless Madonna is and they decide to give their opinions. Just because you aren't in agreement with them you have to call them something. You are the hater my friend.



  24. 124

    Re: Keckielee – Lady Gaga is a spoiled rich kid who got people to help her be the next chapter of madonna her voice SUCKS and her piano playing is great if you are in 4th grade so please have several seats.

  25. French says – reply to this


    125

    Come on, I like Madonna and I am French but please some people waited for 12 hours, spent 280 euros (around 350 dollars) and the show lasted for 45 minutes. She was 30 minutes late and spend 15 minutes to explain what is tolerance. LOol. Please this is not about the French media which were very supportive of her different concerts. And this is not about Marine Le Pen whom we do not ear much since she lost the election. Nobody cares in France about the Marine Le Pen/Madonna case. Think before you write, be objective at least.

    Re: raypearson – talentless?

    Re: fuck the haters
    You have got to be THE most stupid person on here. I mean, really!



  30. 130

    Pre printed and hateful placards… Is this what Madonna or any artists fans bring to a show? You are a stupid fuck if you cannot clearly see a handful of anti Madonna fools holding those signs. And you can easily hear the majority of her real fans trying to scream and cheer loud enough to drown the assholes out… but the assholes were clever and planned it well. In the end…most fans got a great intimate show. If it was marketed the wrong way… and they are truly unhappy, I hope they get their money back. Sometimes a rare opportunity trumps an expensive ticket.



  31. 131

    I love how so many people are commenting on all these Madonna news articles that apparently hate her and have nothing better to do then put her down in some way. Clearly she is keeping you interested or is it that you have nothing better to do with your life then to take the time and bash someone you don't know. I just don't understand why people take the time to read about somebody they dislike so much. It's sad really. Go post somewhere about something you like instead of posting about someone that seems to get your panties in a twist.



  32. 132

    Re: Be-Atch – Your comments are hysterical and t is quite obvious you have only one mission making comments here, unfortunately it just hurts any credibility your opinions may have had now grow up little monster.

    Re: DMC2012
    It's a gossip site, you idiot. That's what people do: read about celebrities and then comment on them. You took the same amount of time out of your life to make your comment as they did theirs, except they don't give a shit what you think. If you want sunshine and rainbows, try the Disney website.

    It's NOT Madonna, it's you and the rest of IGNORANT like you. There is a report from the police that supports what Madonna says.
    from the 'Emaminer':
    The French DST (equivalent to FBI in America) reported that a disturbance was planned by Le Pen supporters, 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.

    It's funny how the only place you can find this "story" about the "French FBI" is on the Examiner (a hack site) and Madonna fanboy sites. I call bullshit!

    Re: Kimble – seriously??? Katy Perry and Gaga made her irrelevant? lol More like she created them in the first place. If nobody cares about her, why was her superbowl show the most watched in history, even surpassing the game's viewers by millions of views. Gaga is a joke and Perry is mediocre.
