Probably, I think people will soon see that she is kind of lame.

A lot of ticket prices are outrageous.

The problem with artists like Janet and Beyonce is that they rely heavily on the glitz and wow factor of their performances. Since the actual music is a minimal part of the interest in them, their concerts need to be such grandeur events and so, require greater attendance to do well.

I expect her to have some trouble here.

So true, their names give them insane prices. I am lucky in the fact that I am not a huge fan of live music in general. Almost no one is worth even $50 to see live to me. Save for a couple like Mint Condition or someone along those lines.

I think Boyz II Men is worth it. They sound just as good live. I agree though that live music is typically a let down.

As Keith Mitchell in After 7 mentioned. You're mostly just hearing artists sing so honestly, is it that different than listening to their album?

To me the coolest part is just finally putting a visual to the music.

I would pay for Brain McKnight that's it. And I always go see Prince but that's cause he gives a great show and he always go over on his show and tells you where he will be playing the after party he's just a cool dude and he is in it for the music. That's what happens when you're not signed to a record label.

Looks like I was right Beyonce is having problems with ticket sales.
