Yay, someone with zero talent is realized as such and booed.
As someone who detests modern music, this cheers me up to no end.

OP, you ask us if we think the crowd is justified without telling us why they were booing. Was the performance terrible? Was it because it was short and expensive? Did gelatin get sprayed over a primarily vegan audience? Was it in fact not Madonna, but Osama Bin Laden himself simply dressed up in a wig and gown?

Seriously, the only information I have to hand is that MAdonna is a performer, did a performance and was booed/rallied against by the crowd. So to answer your question as to whether or not it was justified I say NO BECAUSE REASONS.
.
I said it was short and expensive, and made hastily. It's a shame you can't infer it from the details I provided.
It is indeed a shame that the majority of posters did not catch on to this. Escapists and their reading comprehension eh? I can barely open a thread these days withou it being buried beneath requess for clarification by these IDIOTSSSSS!!!11

Probably, i paid less to enter a festival that lasted 4 days and had tons of famous performers.

You'd sound more cool and edgy if Madonna wasn't actually a musician of the '80s.
captcha: check your work
I'll be honest, you called me out on that.

Eh, I think using the term "whore" as an insult is quite stupid. Really, it's not much of a stretch to use the term on anyone who performs any service for money.

As for Madonna's performance... well, I'm not a fan of her music, but 280 euros for a 45 minute set is pretty ridiculous. One has to wonder if that was her plan, or just her promoters looking to make a quick buck off a performance she didn't want to do. In which case the insult used was more apt than the crowd knew.
That's usually the thing about whores, they're usually more a victim than their clients.

So, "Boo, you whore"?

Not only does it involve bashing Madonna, it also involves an inadvertent Mean Girls reference! What's not to like?

In all seriousness though, I guess that was pretty mean spirited. Though I find it hard to feel sympathy for a millionaire celebrity for enduring a verbal barrage that the average middle school nerd has seen much more of.

Look, I know it's cool to be bashing Brits at the moment but you are taking the piss a little too much.

The first give away; the currency of England (where London is located, if you didn't know) is the pound, not euro.

Secondly, did you hear any English words uttered in the videos? No? There's your second clue.

Thirdly, did you hear any French words in that video? Yes? That's a biggie.

Finally, did you read the video descriptions? If you had you might have noticed that both were recorded in Paris, which is in France, by the way.

Is Israel really that insular?

I don't get it. What happened? She played an extra gig on her tour and got booed and bottled when she played it? Why?
I think there's something about appropriate price. For 280 euros (350 U.S. dollars,) I'd better get my money's worth for it. 45 minutes is not enough time for that cost.

I'm not bashing Brits... It's the Olympics, you usually got a diverse audience there.

Euros, perhaps because there were other people there not from Britain which both came for the Olympics and were fans of Madonna.

I added the video, and should have said it's a part of her tour (the previous venue she was in).

How do the Olympics play into this at all? Olympia is the name of a MUSIC HALL in Paris. And just so you know, when you start trying to push other people's rude or illogical actions "onto" the Brits, by refering to them as Brits? That's a form of bashing.

What the hell are you talking about, where did you find this story - the crazy Israeli media? Don't get me started on that...

A quick Google search results in revealing that the worst offence committed by the audience at Madonna's London gig (which incidentally was before the Paris gig, not after!) was a minor walk-out [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2175367/Hundreds-Madonna-fans-walk-London-concert-branding-WORST-gig-ever.html].

Here is a story covering the Paris/France gig concerning the bottle throwing, booing and insulting; http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/07/27/madonna-booed-bottles-thrown-paris_n_1708787.html.

Really, this insistence on the lie that it happened in London rather than Paris is making you look very foolish.

Bah, I hate my life. This source lies to me and now people are starting to call me a liar.

I need to do more checks before I publish these threads.

Can I call for immunity if this one piece wasn't published at the time of my writing this thread?
...Damn.

I'm going with the crowd on this one, if I paid 280 euroes to see someone and they only did a 45 minute set I'd be pretty ticked off, I've seen longer festival sets, from bands who wern't even headliners. I mean christ, I saw Metallica play for 2 and a half hours for £45 at Wembly stadium.
