The show, streamed live on YouTube, was billed as a celebration of tolerance and diversity, announced in the wake of the ongoing controversy over Madonna showing images at a Bastille Day concert of far-right National Front party leader Marie Le Pen with a swastika on her forehead.  Fan videos posted on the video channel after the Thursday night event show concert-goers booing Madonna and chanting what sounds like “salope,” which depending on the context can mean “b***h” or “slut.”

As of Friday morning, the ‘likes’ on the concert’s YouTube channel were just under 11,000, while the ‘dislikes’ were 13,123.  On Twitter, angry tweets about Madonna — many of them in French — continued to arrive by the second.

The Olympia concert will be re-broadcast on YouTube hourly until midnight GMT (7:00 p.m. U.S. ET).
