I was there, and yes I was disappointed the show ended so early! but the fans knew that this would be 1-1,5 hour show. they just didn't really announced anything about the show really.

I really loved the show and I enjoyed it. I just was hoping for more... the end really didn't seem as end.. this show wasn't really announced as showcase, but in the end it really was one. but still the tickets were bit too high though. in 2008 she did this for free in the same venue.

But yeah, whatever. I moved on, and I enjoyed it. Had a great time in Paris with my friends/other fans. Just after the show all these Marine Le Pen supporters were just too much with booing ... and also their signs they made... disgusting. throwing bottles..........

that made me really sad. most fans were sad, especially because of that... I came to Paris by bus with other fans so they all said this too.

Wow! These photos you did personally??
You were really close to the stage. wink

If you have the money for it and there are still good tickets left.... you should definitely go!

In Moscow and Kiev half of the tickets in sale so far, so I have no problem buying them even in the day of the concert ... Ok, thank you for your Review ... if I will in town and I will not have major plans, I'll go to the concert to make my own conclusions. smile

Yes I did! biggrin and if you go, I hope you have a lot of fun. wink

What's really disgusting is the hate that some people on the Internet have towards her. I don't recall Madonna ever saying people owed her anything. You can like it or not, as she sings. She isn't forcing you to spend money on her if you don't like it. Her concert prices have not gone up in the last two tours, they've always been the same. Her tours are elaborate and cost a lot of money to produce. She remains an amazing performer. Madonna never says I am the best singer or guitar player so she doesn't exagerrate about her talent. She promotes herself as an all around entertainer where singing is part of the overall package. She gives you what she promises. I don't think anyone who puts the word "talent" in quotation marks was ever her fan in the first place. She is the same performer she has always been. You may think her recent albums are "exceptionally bad" but that's your taste. Many people enjoy them.

This is true. Her confidence/arrogance is what has made her who she is. I was hoping she would have matured with a bit more grace/elegance (cheerleader outfit? really? And I'm sorry but you have the most overexposed cleavage in the history of the world - please retire them) - like it or not, it's who she is.

The cheerleader outfit is a costume she wears on stage. It's all in good fun. It's not a literal reflection of who she is off stage. I think she is quite classy and elegant off stage when she's with her kids, but on stage she's a performer. It's not like she exposes her breasts in her everyday life when she's with her kids. I love the fantasy she creates on stage. I would be disappointed if in her concerts she dressed normal or age appropriate. Performing isn't real life, it's a fantasy. You go to a concert to escape to the harsh reality of everyday life.

Obviously it's her stage outfit - if she wore a cheerleader outfit offstage she would be clearly insane lol I just don't see the fun or fantasy in it - just delusion. Maybe I'm making a mountain out of a molehill and to be honest I've not paid very close attention to what she's done since probably Confessions but I just thought she would have something more interesting or humorous to say about aging than a complete denial or refusal to give it any acknowledgment. It just feels like a regression ie she's doing the same stuff she did 20 years ago but just with a more desperate edge. With all her decades of success and power and cultural influence I expected more.

You may think her recent albums are "exceptionally bad" but that's your taste. Many people enjoy them.

I feel like I have to clarify my earlier comment.

I don't hate Madonna. I dislike her persona. I don't know Madonna so I can't hate her. When she was a provacative, young and ambitious star in the 80s and 90s, the arrogance worked. As a mother to three, a 54 yr old woman and supposed spiritualist - that same arrogance now just comes off elitist and egomaniacal.

Yes, one must have a massive ego to some degree in that business. But it would be nice if one kept doing things that justified such an ego. My personal opinion is Madonna has become stunted as "an artist" and no longer earns that ability to remain arrogant. She's now recycling the bitchy, angry Erotica era. Frankly, been there and done that in 1992...and much better back then.

I've been very fortunate to see my business grow - especially as a California resident where many businesses are dying. But in the states overall (and apparently all over Europe), the economy is failing. To tell the public, "start saving your pennies, I'm worth it," is so incredibly insulting. Not because she isn't (or is) worth it - that's not the point. The point is millions of Americans are losing their homes, are out of work, are struggling to get by...and she counters criticism of high ticket prices by talking down to people and telling them to "save their pennies." I'm sorry, but I can't with her.

And no, I don't think she's worth it anymore. The Hard Candy tour was pretty boring and this tour, while it looks more visually appealing, has a setlist that leaves a lot to be desired by this guy. I'm not knocking anyone who feels otherwise. It's really exciting for you if this is your thing. It's not mine. And it evidently wasn't for the crowd in Paris, either.

An appropriate response to the upset crowd - by a performer in her 50s - would be an apology for their misunderstanding the style of show. Thanking them for coming out and letting them know how much it meant to her and how sad it makes her to know they left unsatisfied (even if that's a load of shit). Instead, Liz gave a snarky and moderately insulting response. Something that I think highlights Madonna's self-entitled opinion of herself. "I'm Madonna. That should be enough for people."

@California45, you are absolutely right Madonna isn't Prince, but your wrong about her "Best Dancing Days are over"... obviously you ain't seen her in concert lately.

Madonna is dancing the best she's ever danced in her entire career at age 53, so If I were you... I'd get those 45 year old "EYES" checked!

Her Sticky and Sweet Tour, showcased Madonna's Best Dancing since 1990's Blonde Ambition Tour and have anyone seen the Dance break she does on "Give me all your lovin" on the M.D.N.A Tour???

The woman is dancing like a 22 year old, plus the "Girl gone wild" choreography and Her dancing on "Celebration" on the M.D.N.A Tour... People often want to hate on her brilliance, but the fact of the matter is that not too many ppl can sell out a club gig at $100 a ticket or $300 a ticket for a two hour concert performance.

Madonna makes the majority of her cash from these shows, the woman ranks #3 currently on Top Selling Tours with just 22 shows done out of 90 dates and everyone else on that list, has done tripple the amount of shows she's being compared to and 22 dates done, already at #3 on the sells... COME ON MADONNA IS A BEAST!!!

The ppl in france should be ashamed of themselves to think Madonna was gonna do a full concert at the Theatre when the woman already has/had arena shows planned. Those spoiled fuckers!!!

Anyways, whether she can play guitar (well) or not... she has the money and the people in her corner that can throw together a last minute show. They've rehearsed more songs than already played on the actual tour thus far... She's no dummy! Madonna puts on one of the BEST shows of anyone... Prince is next to Madonna, because he's Prince and he's a great musician. Madonna is the ultimate performance, she may not sing like Whitney Houston or Barbra Streisand, but she can definitely move her ass like no one can! Cut the bitch a break GEESH!

Madonna's Statement On Olympia Show

“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.”

From MTV.com:

Madonna's rep has already clarified that fans got exactly as much Madge as they were supposed to last week when the singer played a special 45-minute set at Paris' legendary l'Olympia club.

Then, over the weekend, Madonna stepped forward herself to clear up the confusion with a statement in which she explained that the flap over the show was not caused by her die-hard fans, but by some knuckleheads who conspired to ruin her special night.

"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," the 53-year-old pop icon wrote.


"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."

The statement came after her long-time spokesperson explained that fans who booed and chanted "refund!" after Madonna left the stage following a 45-minute set did not end the show abruptly, but exactly on time.

"Madonna's Paris club show was planned as her heartfelt thank-you to France, which she expressed at the start of her show," said publicist Liz Rosenberg about the last-minute addition to what is expected to be Madonna's biggest world tour to date.

"Despite a grueling concert tour, she desperately wanted to perform for her fans in an intimate setting at the historic Olympia as a means to honor her love for French artists, French cinema and a tribute to France's long history of welcoming and inspiring artists, authors, painters, poets and minorities from other countries over the years ... The show was not billed as her full MDNA concert and tremendous effort was made to keep the ticket prices reasonable ($100 for 2,000 floor seats) and keep them strictly for her fans. The show cost Madonna close to a million dollars to produce."

The flap over the club show is just the latest bump in the road on the MDNA tour, which has stirred up more controversy than is usual even for Madonna, who has built a 30-plus-year career on sticking her hand into the beehive as often as possible.

From Billboard.com:

Madonna's MDNA Tour continues to post big numbers, as the trek's gross rises to an overall $79.6 million from 22 reported shows.

On the most recent Hot Tours chart, she ranks No. 1 with ticket sales totals reported from four sold out concerts during her tour through European markets this summer.

Her first MDNA Tour appearance in France was on July 14 at the Stade De France in Paris with 62,195 fans in attendance. The $7.1 million (US$) gross at the national stadium of France is the largest single-show ticket sales total reported from the tour so far.

Following the Paris concert, the tour crossed the channel for its first date in the U.K., a performance at London's Hyde Park. With a crowd topping 54,000, the concert on July 17 grossed £4.2 million ($6.7 million US$) and also featured LMFAO in a supporting slot. Concerts followed at Birmingham's National Indoor Arena on July 19 and Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, Scotland on July 21.

I'm digging this new madonna.

The ammount of disdain being leveled at her is remarkable; it reminds me of 1992. Which makes me proud, and makes me think she's onto something. You can't piss off this many people unless you're touching on something big.

She's 54. I have't read one criticism that doesn't mention her age, and what's appropriate for a woman of her age, and how her actions might've worked before, but don't work now. But that's bullshit, right?

She takes what you think is appropriate and she throws it out the window, same as always. She dresses how she wants, dates who she wants, and says what she wants. What's new is that I've never seen a 54 year old woman be so sexual, and so defiantly in your face about it. But I think that's kind of awesome.

I just watched "Shine A Light", the Stones documentary from 2006. Believe me, Madonna has a lot of wiggle room in the looks and age department. Also, acting exactly like you did when you were younger? Not growing into old age like a normal person? Charging a lot for tickets to your concert (and during a recession!!!)? It's rock and roll, everyone. They're icons, and the stadiums still sell out.

But the Stones aren't women.

Exactly right! Although some people poke fun at the Stones, as you point out so succinctly, they are still rock icons and people still flock to see them... But, being men, they don't enrage people like a woman who dares to do the same.

Madonna’s shoes prove to be a hit


The 'Queen of Pop', Madonna, has scored a hit in the fashion world thanks to her new shoe range, Truth Or Dare.
BY Bibby Sowray | 31 July 2012

Madonna's latest venture into the world of fashion has proved to be an unprecedented success. The pop-up shop which exclusively houses her new shoe range, Truth Or Dare, in Selfridges' Oxford Street store has reportedly become the most successful footwear space in the store.


"It's been thrilling to see our customers' response to this project - the Truth Or Dare collection has proven to be our most commercially successful footwear pop-up this year so far," shoes buying manager Helen Attwood told vogue.co.uk.
"It's one of the most successful celebrity endorsements we've ever worked on. We have already had to re-order on almost half the styles we carry," added Attwood. "Bestselling styles have been the Panu studded court shoe and the Cedia brogue in black."

The best-selling 'Cedia' brogue, £120
The Truth Or Dare designs are created in collaboration with the singer's long-time stylist and costume designer Arianne Phillips. The range is stocked exclusively at Selfridges until September 1 and prices range from £80 for ballet pumps to £480 for over-the-knee boots.
Madonna also owns the Material Girl label, which she co-designs with her teenage daughter Lourdes.

More Trouble for Madonna

CONCERT ON WARSAW UPRISING ANNIVERSARY TRIGGERS BOYCOTT CALLS

By Mary Papenfuss, Newser Staff

Posted Aug 1, 2012 1:42 AM CDT

(NEWSER) – Now the Poles are upset with Madonna. In the latest uproar over the singer's European tour, Polish veterans groups—along with Catholics—are protesting her concert tonight because it falls on the anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising. Ticket holders are being asked to boycott the show, and a conservative member of Parliament even appealed to the government to ban the performance. Concert organizers have agreed to present a short clip at the performance about the city's failed 1944 revolt against Nazis that cost 200,000 lives, but it's not clear if that will be enough to stave off the boycott.

Concert billboards have been defaced with the logo of the Polish Home Army, the largest underground army in Nazi-occupied Europe, reports the BBC. Catholics, meanwhile, are incensed about the 53-year-old singer's use of a burning cross and a crown of thorns in her performance.

Madonna airs 1944 Warsaw uprising clip amid concert raw

US pop star Madonna aired a World War II-era newsreel on the 1944 anti-Nazi Warsaw Uprising at the top of her gig in the city marking the day 68 years ago when the bloody insurrection was launched.

Thousands of fans applauded the two-and-a-half minute long film which ran as the concert got underway with nearly an hour’s delay, the Polish PAP news agency reported.

Warsaw city hall requested the singer air the clip in the wake of an online petition against her concert by a group of young Catholics furious it would coincide with the Polish capital’s annual World War II commemoration of the doomed uprising against the city’s Nazi’s occupiers.

As of Wednesday, the petition had gathered 54,000 supporters for the “Material Girl’s” concert to be called off out of respect for the estimated 200,000 people who died in the 63-day uprising by Polish partisans.

Nazi German dictator Adolf Hitler ordered the deportation of the half-a-million residents who survived before his forces systematically bombarded the city leaving it as little more than a smouldering heap of rubble.

“August 1 is a day of remembrance in Poland. We pay our respects to those who survived and those who perished in the uprising. We won’t allow the desecration of our hallowed symbols,” reads the Internet petition launched by a group calling itself the Youth Crusade.

Warsaw ground to a halt Wednesday at 5 pm (1500 GMT) and sirens wailed as residents stood still to observe the annual minute’s silence across the capital remembering the loss of life in the largest single rebellion against Nazi Germany during WWII.

The Youth Crusade also slammed the 53-year-old Queen of Pop’s on-stage antics as “attacking the Catholic faith… offending Jesus Christ by burning crosses and wearing a crown of thorns” as well as promoting homosexuality and pornography.

Warsaw Archbishop Henryk Hoser urged residents to pray against what he termed Madonna’s “blasphemous concert”. Poland remains one of Europe’s most devoutly Roman Catholic countries.

Huh? Madonna has always done some antics people might consider outrageous. What she does now is pretty tame compared to the Sex book and the Erotica era. And how about her rolling around on the floor in her wedding dress singing Like A Virgin at the MTV Awards? I don't see how anyone who has followed her career over the years can be that offended by how she is currently. She's pretty much the same person and artist she has always been. She's always combined music and controversial antics.

people who always say they miss the "Old School Madonna" crack me up lol People change,they grow,they evolve as they get older.Prince isn't the same person he was 25 years ago,and neither is Madonna or any other longtime artist.If you want "Old School Madonna",simply listen to the old records and watch her old videos.It's unrealistic to expect her to remain stuck in that era.

Yes, but I think it's amazing how much she changes she always retains the essence of who she is. There are some artists that I used to like that I can't stand anymore because they have changed their music or their personality so much that I can't relate to them anymore. Madonna has evolved and stays with the times but there's a certain element that stays the same too. She still does pop/dance music in the same genre. It's not likely she does some completely different weird style of music than when she first started. She has that same cheeky ironic personality she had when she first started. I think that's why I'm still a fan. She still has a lot of what I first liked about her but updated and modernized. That's her genius. To change and evolve but still be herself.

Well then crack the fuck up, I really don't give a shit.

I miss the old-school Madonna, PERIOD.

I much prefer her over the assholish, self-important, pretentious little sniveling shit of a Madonna we have now. I love who she was, but I hate who she ultimately grew into.

Then again that level of fame for that many years would probably warp anybody - to have half the world constantly kissing your ass, even when you're being a jerk, and then to have the rest of the world ready to tar and feather you just for existing would do anybody's head in and probably cause a certain type of decay in the personality and the psyche and make them a worse person than they were before.

There was a genuineness, and a sincerity and a light in early Madonna that isn't there now.

I MISS THE OLD-SCHOOL MADONNA. If you have a problem with it don't even bother coming to me about it because I promise you I could care less about you as a human being and your wants, needs and opinions, and mine will remain just the same pretty much no matter what you say or do.

That is it. And that is all.
