NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 29 (UPI) -- The crowd at Madonna's weekend concert in New Orleans jeered the pop star as she urged audience members to re-elect President Barack Obama, E! News said.

"Who's registered to vote?" she asked concertgoers during Saturday night's show. "I don't care who you vote for as long as you vote for Obama."

The remark prompted boos from her fans to which she responded: "Seriously, I don't care who you vote for. ... Do not take this privilege for granted. Go vote."
