Exactly. You paid for the concert and you boo her and she leaves.. You get what you caused.

You've got it flipped.

They paid for a concert, she left and they booed.

 

[Dead Man]

Exactly. You paid for the concert and you boo her and she leaves.. You get what you caused.

Backwards. You have it backwards.

 

[dreamcastmaster]

In that context, salope doesn't mean slut at all. It's more of a generic insult. Something like "you fucker". Nothing more.

In French class I learned is was equivalent to bastard. I guess the article deliberately found a more sensational translation.

 

[Mumei]

This hardly surprises me. She has been a bitch for as long as I can remember. Only difference is that her arrogance has grown while the qualtiy of her shit has gone in the opposite direction.

Let's not.

 

[Trin]

The worst thing was that it didn't look just like she was disinterested in what they had made (because frankly, so was I), but that it seemed like she was going out of her way to nitpick in a deliberately cruel way.

And obviously I cannot know what she was actually thinking, but that's how it appeared to me.

It's that last needless comment at the end about those tiny, intricate sunglasses, "They're not exactly the shape."

Pay 230€ for a 45 minutes concert and let's see your reaction.

so much this

 

[BadAss2961]

Anyone else expect no less from an old diva like Madonna, and thus can't even get mad in the slightest bit at her acts of arrogance?

Almost turns me on.

 

[GavinGT]

This one's pretty infamous, but in case you haven't seen Madonna's 1994 Letterman appearance, here it is. She's been absolutely insufferable for a very long time.

 

[Death Dealer]

Yup

That outfit of Gaga's is ridiculous.

And Madonna might not be a nice person, but I can't say I blame her too much for that reaction.
Here's some creepy looking dolls your fans made.....now feign surprise and appreciation !


The 45 minute concert sounds like a joke. Maybe her fans will wise up and quit admiring someone that hasn't done anything in 20 years to deserve the attention.

 

[Schadenfreude]

I thought maybe she had felt sick and the fans were being unreasonable, but that's just highway robbery. A 45 minute concert? I'd be booing her too. I had no idea Madonna had a reputation of being like this. I guess that's why they call them divas.

would anyone expect 3 hours of stage time out of an old woman?

 

[Slackbladder]

would anyone expect 3 hours of stage time out of an old woman?

A bit different I know but Roger Waters is nearly 70 and he can manage a full tour of a 2 hour show. Doesn't prance about like a tit though.

 

[Death Dealer]

I saw Paul McCartney a few years ago and it was close to a 3 hour set. And he played everything, from his newest stuff, all the way back to early Beatles songs.

Madonna's sex is no excuse. I've never seen her in concert, but I don't think she was ever really known for being great live anyways. She's not that good of a singer, more of a performance artist.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

would anyone expect 3 hours of stage time out of an old woman?

She's only 53.

Its becoming more obvious as time goes by that Madonna doesn't give a fuck about her fan base and is completely out of touch with reality. A 45 minute show at those prices? People would have lined up for days expecting something really special. She just finished disappointing aussie fans by hyping her tour then cancelling it, now does some lame "one night only" publicity stunt. She's been in her crazy cashed up lifestyle with people kissing her ass for too long.

 

[Dead Man]

would anyone expect 3 hours of stage time out of an old woman?

2 hours is a reasonable expectation for a major concert. If you can't do that, you tell people, and you cut your prices.

 

[Fritz]

God, "Salope". Sounds like a pet name. French, why you so pretty?

 

[Kozak]

Yup

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4861-5c7_MQ

Oh wow!

Team Gaga :3

 

[Koodo]

And in that moment, Madonna realized it was time...

... a swift turn, and she had promptly abandoned the perimeters...

... a short note left behind to her French patrons:


Je T'aime,

Madonna

 

[Dilly]

In the context, "salope" would rather be translated to "bitch".

They knew it's bannable on GAF.

 

[NinjaFridge]

They knew it's bannable on GAF.

Bitch is bannable?

 

[Dead Man]

Bitch is bannable?

Context, as with all things, matters. But yes, in most contexts it appears to be a bannable word.

 

[Mumei]

Bitch is bannable?

The simplest answer is "Yes," and the longer answer is "It depends on the context," and an extended explanation can be found here.

And no, this isn't new.

 

[dosh]

These ADD Drive-By posters really need to stop.

Yes.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Has always come across as a very pretentious and self-absorbed person to me - never understood the appeal. Then again, I guess I'm not supposed to.

 

[Chuckie]

The simplest answer is "Yes," and the longer answer is "It depends on the context," and an extended explanation can be found here.

And no, this isn't new.

I think I just might avoid it all together. I called her one because I think she acts 'bitchy' not because I want to compare her to a female dog. However it will be hard to 'defend' the position.

Damn... first the c-word, now this

 

[Kyon]

BOW to the Queen of Pop.


The MDNA Tour is set to be the Highest Grossing Tour of ALL TIME.
Ya'll can say whatever you want but as usual Queen Madonna is laughing @ all of you
as she rides away to the next town with her millions.

#QueenofPop
#QueenOfTours
#NoFlaws
#GetMoney

EDIT: In an actual serious note: Madonna is Madonna... she hasnt changed, some of you acting SURPRISED is hilarious. She has been known for not giving a damn about ANYONE.
All her imitators stay imitating her. She has nothing to prove to anyone.

 

[Antakken]

God, "Salope". Sounds like a pet name. French, why you so pretty?

Ahaha!

I'm curious to hear how an american would pronounce salope.

And how do you find "salopette"?

 

[Dr. Malik]

Except she is proving something and that is she is no longer worth paying to see.

It doesn't matter what the tour's gross is when most of the reviews claim its terrible or mediocre. Transformers made a lot of money too but at the end of the day its still trash.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

She doesn't seem like a nice person.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4861-5c7_MQ

I lost a bit of respect for her after watching this. The guy in the glasses was cute though, so that made the discomfort of watching the video worth it.

 

[MoogleWizard]

250€ for a 45 minute show? Ridiculous, she has no shame. But I don't know if can feel sorry for someone who pays so much to see her in the first place.

 

[bud]

@springsteen 3h40/65€

goddamn.

 

[MrPing1000]

Rush are in their mid to late fifties. Their Time Machine Tour was on and off for 18months or so, 3.5 hour set. Best gig I've been to, too.

 

[twobear]

I watched about 15 minutes of this. It was maybe the worst 15 minutes I could have watched.

She blathered on about about intolerence for ten minutes, said that she's considers herself a revolutionary ('like Napoleon'), told the crowd that she loved them too (very modest of her) and then capped off the turdarama by singing a song from MDNA. Not even a classic to make up for wasting 1/4 of the concert talking about stuff nobody in the crowd gave a shit about.

If I'd paid an absurd amount of money to see that, I'd be pretty pissed off too.

 

[Darklord]

Imagine if she had held this concert in Australia.

What does that even mean?

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

What does that even mean?

Maybe he means it would have been cut even shorter because she'd have a massive coronary breakdown three minutes after being bitten.

 

[twobear]

What does that even mean?

Madonna has a bit of a habit of claiming she'll do Australian legs of her tours, and then cancelling them at the last minute.

 

[Agnostic]

Axl and Madonna need to go on tour together.

 

[Kurtofan]

I hate Le Pen a lot (who is far right, not just right wing) but I wish Madonna would stop to mix her music with French politics cause it's getting cringe worthy and I fear it might help Le Pen more than hurt her.

 

[Fritz]

Ahaha!

I'm curious to hear how an american would pronounce salope.

And how do you find "salopette"?

I always found the -ette ending a bit vulgar. I can't really tell about Americans - I am German - but I'd pronounce it with a sharp s, emphasis on the o and a silent e. Similar to the German salopp, meaning casual/sloppy.

 

[tmarques]

Yeah, that's the kind of vid that could make you hate someone. Those poor guys look crushed and struggling to not show it. Especially the bald one. ;_;

She seems to think that being a bitch is funny. And some people can actually pull it off, because you can tell they don't mean it. Madonna... not so much. She just comes across as sour.

In her defense, a lot of her fans seem to applaud this behaviour, so maybe she's under the delusion that everyone finds it entertaining.

why would they come to our concert just to boo us?

Maybe it was a terrible concert? Wouldn't be the first time people booed artists they came to watch.

Exactly. You paid for the concert and you boo her and she leaves.. You get what you caused.

So if you happened to be at a concert, where maybe 10% of the crowd managed to piss off the artist enough to leave, you wouldn't want your money back?

 

[spiderman123]

230 is a lot of money for a 45 min concert. I understand their discontent...Madonna is truly a diva(bad version)

 

[tmarques]

All of that is true but... She's in her mid-50s. What was attractive 25 years ago isn't necessarily attractive now. People are expected to mature.

And she's the one who wouldn't shut up about her "enlightenment" a few years ago, so I think everyone is entitled to point fingers here.
