It was a gig designed to pacify French fans who thought she had made an ill-advised statement about their nation\u2019s politics.<\/p>\n

But Madonna ended up booed off stage in Paris on Thursday night after charging up to \u00a3200 a head for a concert lasting just 45 minutes.<\/p>\n

The pop queen was also attacked for only singing for around 30 minutes – and spending 15 minutes \u2018wittering on about politics\u2019.<\/p>\n

The singer had put on an intimate show for around 2,000 fans at Paris\u2019s Olympia theatre as a last minute addition to her MDNA tour.<\/p>\n

It came after France\u2019s far-right National Front threatened to sue Madonna after she showed a video at a Bastille Day concert in Paris with an image of the party\u2019s leader Marine Le Pen with a swastika on her forehead.<\/p>\n

During the gig, the singer had a message for the politician, telling the audience: \u2018I know that I have made a certain Marine Le Pen very angry with me.<\/p>\n

‘The enemy is not out there, there is no such thing as an external enemy. The enemy is within.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s not my intention to make enemies, it\u2019s my intention to promote tolerance.\u2019<\/p>\n

She also told fans: \u2018I have a special affinity with France, and I have for many years.<\/p>\n

Pricey: Ticket prices for sold-out gig started at \u00a360 rising to \u00a3200, but were exchanging hands on the black market for up to \u00a31,000<\/p>\n

\u2018It could go all the way to Napoleon because I think of myself as a revolutionary.\u2019<\/p>\n

As she left the stage, the curtains closed behind her with a message reading \u2018I love you\u2019.<\/p>\n

But when she did not reappear for an encore, audience members began jeering, booing and pelting the stage with bottles.<\/p>\n

Many shouted out demanding a refund.<\/p>\n

Concert-goer Guillaume Delaval said afterwards: \u2018The show was ok but it only last 45 minutes, and she spent 15 minutes of that wittering on about politics and tolerance.<\/p>\n

\u2018We didn\u2019t come to hear that. It was a concert, not the United Nations.\u2019<\/p>\n

But one Twitter user wrote: ‘Madonna’s performance of Je T’Aime moi non plus is one of the best performances I’ve seen.<\/p>\n

‘She has to do it on the MTV awards or the grammys’.<\/p>\n

The show was also streamed live on YouTube.<\/p>\n

But today the website had to disable comments.<\/p>\n

An invitation to Tweet about the show also appeared to backfire – with audience members using the suggested hashtag #MDNAParis to complain.<\/p>\n

Performing for a Parisian audience at the city’s Olympia the 53-year-old covered the infamous Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg track Je T’Aime.<\/p>\n

And Madonna brought her overt brand of sexuality to the show as she twisted around in fishnets and a black leotard.<\/p>\n

The singer tied up her fellow performer, ending the song by pretending to shoot him in the head.<\/p>\n

The same highly stylised sequence led to criticism when Madonna performed in the Scottish city of Edinburgh the day after the Colorado shootings.<\/p>\n

‘Madonna and her dancers using replica guns was always in bad taste but given what happened in Colorado it is even worse. She should know better,’ a spokesman for Mothers Against Guns told Scotland’s Daily Record.<\/p>\n

Slave to her art: ‘Madonna would rather cancel her show than censor her art,’ a member of her tour team said<\/p>\n

But Madonna is not one to listen to her critics.<\/p>\n

‘Madonna would rather cancel her show than censor her art,’ a member of her tour team told the Huffington Post.<\/p>\n

‘Her entire career, she has fought against people telling her what she can and cannot do. She’s not about to start listening to them now.’<\/p>\n

Madonna<\/p>\n

Violent: Madonna pulled back the singer by his hair then threatened him with a gun<\/p>\n

Energetic: She might be 53 but Madonna is making no concessions to age<\/p>\n

Her latest tour is predicted to become one of the highest grossing in history.<\/p>\n
