Oops! She did it again!
 

Forget to sing that is :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

lol she is really good at her job lol

Just horrible.

And she's making a fortune at Planet Hollywood here in Vegas doing that shit.

Meanwhile, talented singers and musicians starve. :(

Have the shows been selling out ??

seen much worse

she looks better than she sings :pimp

I don't know, and it doesn't really matter.

She got a contract to do 48 shows a YEAR. (that's less than one a week) And she gets $15 MILLION dollars per year for those 48 shows.

The contract is for 2 years.

So she could care less if nobody shows up. :(
She gets paid to do whatever it is she is doing up there anyway.

She was hawt in 1999

She's a golden goose. Sometimes the allure of the former brand still is enough to draw in the money.

I'm sure there is accounting (actuary) that goes into it and paying her that much is worth it.

Pathetic.

$300,000 a night.


.

Not a fan. I'd still anally invade her though :2 cents:

her body isn't in it anymore and all attempts failed in trying to change that judging by past concerts and outings. i think she should put out a book about the workings of the industry that will especially touch on her breakdown in 2006, and encourage healthy mental well-being. she could talk about her younger sister, why she didn't become a star. she has children now anyway not a good look for a pop-star i would like to see her become soul. she could be like the white donna summer, and give adele a run for her money.

Shocking, utterly shocking.

say it isn't so..

$300,000 for a couple hours of work, she should be singing her heart out.

Not her most popular days anymore but she's still making money.. moving on.

if it is the biggest problem with her...

As has been said in this thread, you don't even need to sell tickets now.

The huge mega bucks deals are already in place before the first gig has even started.

No wonder they don't care if they mime or put little effort into the dance routines...

fuck planet hollywood, they structured the deal, it was revealed over a year ago, when the show was first created that she was lip-synching. They don't give a shit.

For $300,000 / show I would sing my heart out - below my contacts :1orglaugh

She couldn't sing anyways

Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

Oh i saw what you did there.Scott McD.check this out!

I read that they are bringing in a little over $500,000 for each of her "performances" or whatever the fuck you call what she is doing up there.

So she's personally getting about 60% of the money. But I guess that the $200,000 PLUS all the publicity for Planet Hollywood is worth it to them.

A lot of people don't know (and neither did I until I moved here and researched the history of Vegas), but Planet Hollywood is actually the old "Aladdin" Casino in Vegas.

They tore Aladdin down and rebuilt it. It was originally built in 1962.

It had to be imploded in 1998 due to structural requirements.

Once it re-opened it never was able to be successful. And Planet Hollywood bought it and changed the sign and took out the "Arabian Nights" theme inside.

So it's kind of an "older" property in a sense. Not really designed to keep up with places like The Cosmo. And even though Caesars Palace is old (from the 1960's), they've managed to keep it kicking ass with big name stars playing there.

So I guess that's what Planet Hollywood is doing too.

Leave Britney Alone!

Isn't it bad sign for a star to make a contract with a hotel like that by the way? Like their pop star career is going down. Just wondering.

Heck no! Residencies in Vegas are the way to go! So much money and so much easier than touring on the road every day.

I mean not in terms of dollars.
Otherwise every celebrity would do that. So far it was Celine Dion and Britney as far as I know, speaking about recent times. And both of them were past their prime.

I know that every "new" star plays here as well...but they only offer the residency gigs to stars who have a big enough fan base to pull a crowd every night.
I think that's why Britney only does 48 nights a YEAR.

She doesn't have the kind of multi-generational fan base that Celine, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Cher, and some of the other older singers do.
They are able to pack the house every night because they get fans from over the decades. Whereas the newer stars would only have the young demographic (which means that unless they are 21 or over they can't drink and spend money in the casino...and even the ones who are over 21 but still not very old don't usually have much money to spend as the middle age people do).
Anyway, that's my theory. :)

I still think that all the singers you mentioned were way past their glory prime. Just by looking how many TOP or number 1 hits they had before their contracts and how many after. Sort of - I do not make any number 1 hits anymore, let's milk Las Vegas now.

still rich tho $220 Million

No, I agree they are "past their prime".

For whatever reason, it seems that the majority of musicians hit their peak when they are still young.

But none of the ones I mentioned came to Vegas and suddenly didn't have any new hit records. They all got their residencies long after the hit records had stopped.

They are booked here because of their longevity and popularity across generations.

I personally have no desire to go see Cher for instance. But every gay and tranny within 1000 miles aged 18 to 80 will be there in droves every night to pack the house. lol

I have went to 2 of the older artists residency shows at Caesers: Elton Johns show and Rod Stewart's show.
And both of them were VERY good. More hits over the years than I even remembered.

That was what I was saying. I don't think it has anything to do with whether their careers are "down" or not.
If that were the case, then Foghat and Steppenwolf would be doing $100 million dollar residencies in Vegas too. lol

I think it's just that the "hottest" new artists don't have as big of a fan base as the older acts do. So the older ones can pack the house every night AND make big money for the casino and themselves.

The younger ones really can't do that simply because they haven't been around long enough to have multi-generational fans.

I'd say you could bet your ass that IF a young hot artist like Bruno Mars or Miley Cyrus, etc. were to get offered $100 million dollars to play the same gig every night for 70 nights like Celine Dion got at Caesars then they would jump on it.

Believe me, there is nothing better than to get to play the same venue every night instead of having to travel.

To quote Robbie, "I think it's just that the "hottest" new artists don't have as big of a fan base as the older acts do. " not exactly.

Not about the size of the fan base but the breadth, age span. Lots of new stars have huge fan bases but not of the age group that typically visit Las Vegas.

Plus any show that breaks even or close to it based on ticket sales is a huge win for any casino. They don't book so much to make money from tickets but to get bodies into the casinos and attract attention.

Britney provides name recognition and a wide fan base. Even those who might never have heard her music or been fans know something about her. Scandal sells.

I think Celine Dion was making like 80+ million a year in Vegas for a very long time.

:stoned

ADG

That does not contradict with what I was trying to say at all.
My point was that Celine's career was going downhill, or at least she was after her peak when she agreed on Vegas contract.
If you look at how many top hits she had before Vegas and how many after..

This. The second I hear one of these so-called mega pop stars using autotune it's their death knell and shows they don't have the chops to put out a decent song with their normal vocals being good enough to cut it.

And what did lipsinking ever get anyone? Anyone remember Milli Vanilli?

I once love this woman a lot, when I get news she was on drugs..disappointed.

I remember fapping to this when it first appeared

Those were the days...

nasty bitch

She looks like a psycho.

I've been told by quite a few taxi drivers, that it was due to Sept 11th that Alladin couldn't make it. People wouldn't stay there after that, then later it re-opened as Planet Hollywood. I stayed there though before it was changed and also back when it was the original.

Aren't they all...

For us all! LOL
