Madonna fans vented their anger after the star ended a special intimate show in Paris after just 45 minutes.

The singer said she had "a special affinity with France" as she opened the last minute concert, but drew boos from many disappointed fans.

Some had camped outside the Olympia club since Wednesday in anticipation of the show.

The 2,000 tickets sold out in minutes, with fans paying between £80-£200 and some changing hands for up to £1,000.

Madonna was also criticised for talking about politics instead of singing, after revealing she had a message for France's extreme right-wing leader Marine Le Pen.

France's National Front is threatening to sue the star for using an image of Ms Le Pen with a Swastika superimposed on her forehead at a concert earlier this month.

"I know that I have made a certain Marine Le Pen very angry with me," Madonna told fans.

"It's not my intention to make enemies. It's my intention to promote tolerance," she continued.

Afterwards 33-year-old Guillaume Delaval complained: "She spoke for 15 minutes about tolerance, it's not the UN here."

Speaking to the BBC's John Hand at the show, Paris resident Allain Zambrana, 26, from Nicaragua, said he wanted to ask for his money back.

"I felt very frustrated because I camped out on the streets and then the show just ends like that."

Several fans cried "refund!" as they realised Madonna had left the stage for good, with some audience members taking to Twitter to complain.

"We are singing 'shame on you'," explained Pierre from Belgium. "Because she says she loves her fans but then she does this."

Dutch fan Ellis Van Zoen, 22, agreed the show was "very short", but added: "I'm torn - I thought it was a fantastic show and it was special. I don't want to see fans yelling at her but I can understand why."

Madonna also offered veiled criticism of the party's anti-immigrant stance, as she paid homage to a France which she said had once "opened its arms to minorities".

"We are entering some very scary times in the world," she told the crowd.

"People are afraid, and what happens when people are afraid? They say 'get out! You're the reason. You're the problem. You're to blame.'"

The 53-year-old, who performed in an array of outfits including a black leather pencil skirt and French beret, also paid tribute to several French artists.

The event was also streamed live on YouTube, where separate footage showed fans chanting and booing while throwing throwing empty bottles and cups onto the stage after the singer had left.

Madonna is due to perform in France again on 21 August, in Nice.----

  • Madge is a legend in her own mind, she thinks she's ultra intelligent but so stupid she can't work out that the fans came to get an 1hr+ of singing NOT her wittering on.

    Stupid stupid person..

  • I'll never get what makes celebrities like Madonna feel like anyone wants to hear their political spew, or that they somehow are privy to some enlightened state of consciousness that the rest of us don't have access to. Sorry Madonna, the thousands of dirty entertainment executive dicks you've sucked over the years doesn't make you an elite person or enlightened in any way. In fact, you are trash. Now shut the fuck up and entertain us. Sing and dance for us, bitch, its really the only value More..

    • @ogritch
      People Like Madge have their butts kissed by so many people that they end up believing what`s being said and of course what they say, then they go out publicly and spew the same shit to the average joe who then turns around and says WTF?, I came here for the music, not this..

  • Come to France and talk about multiculturalism? MMMuuuahhhahahaha... she has no fucking idea what us French have to fucking put up with concerning the Africans and their widespread "hatred" of their host country, pushing their "faith" down our throats, their lack of integration, their public display of distain toward our language and culture, the blatant programme of pushing their political/theological agenda onto us (sharia law).

    Fuck her and fuck multiculturalism... she s More..

    • @Zipperneck1321 Good to see the French are realizing that the Republican understanding of nationhood cannot drift too far from the ethnocentric. Please, remember your culture and your roots and stop identifying yourself only with Republicanism. Cheers!

  • I'd be pissed too. You pay good money to hear someone sing then you don't expect a political speech instead.

    And in any case have you ever noticed that it's always the super-wealthy that preach all this tolerance shit. How long is it since Madonna had to struggle to make ends meet, or felt pangs of hunger in her belly I wonder? WTF would she know about the real struggle for existence that millions of people endure every day. Shut your mouth you useless, has-been mole. Your advice and views More..
