Blind Item #15
This former A list "singer" from back in the day is doing things right. She knows her ability to sell tickets is limited despite everyone knowing her. She is teaming up with as many casinos as possible who have agreed to buy 50% of all her seats. No matter what, it will look like she is filling up theatres.
Britney with MGM

ReplyDelete“Singer” makes me think of someone who can’t actually sing. Which no longer A list singer who can’t sing performs in a casino? I can only think of Britney but I don’t think I’m right lol
ReplyDeleteCher
ReplyDeletePaula Abdul?
ReplyDeleteChristina Aguilera is hitting a bunch of casinos too
ReplyDelete“Singer” implies someone who can’t sing though
DeleteI JUST seen an ad for Christina and it was.... A casino concert..and, a wicked shitty pic, I might add. I didn't even recognize her, and didn't know who it was, til I saw the name. I thought Damnnnnnn... What'd she do to deserve this? Lol, sad. That Hollyweird is a rough crowd
DeleteJLo\MV?
ReplyDeleteIt's their money. Probably seats which weren't getting sold for other shows either.
ReplyDeleteThere was an article out recently about how she doesn't sing at her shows. Eh, you know what you're getting if you buy.
ReplyDeleteBritney is A+ and she wouldn’t be referred to as former since she is still as relevant now as she was then.
ReplyDeleteShe’s definitely not as relevant today as she was then lmao
DeleteMaybe to some, but she is A+ and still sells tickets. Also, Britney isn't quite "back in the day" yet.
Deleteshania twain lol
ReplyDeleteIt has got to be Britney. Looking at that jokeresque face of hers makes me sad. I don't care how fit she is these days. I'd rather she was fat, but still had her original face.
ReplyDelete"singer" in quotations. def britney
ReplyDeleteI don't think Britney fit's the "from back in the day" description.
ReplyDeleteSeems like it's somebody older.
Paula Abdul sounds like a good guess.
Belinda Carlisle?
Britney is from back in the day. She debuted like 20 years ago
DeleteIt's either Gwen Stefani, Cher or Jennifer Lopez. Those ones are in Las Vegas currently. Gwen definitely isn't selling out. I think it's Cher here because there was another post that was Gwen.
ReplyDeleteIt's Paula Abdul. She is touring, Britney isn't "back in the day".+1 MDAnderson.
ReplyDeleteThe casinos do this a lot, they get the money back by keeping the gamblers there longer.
ReplyDeletePaula Abdul fits.
ReplyDeletePAT BENATAR CAN SING, BITCHES!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteAbsolutely! And, tell em... Large Marge Sent Ya... Or, Says So... Lol!
DeleteIt's not Britney. Her run in Vegas was incredibly successful, whether the casinos gave out free tickets to gamblers or not. Her shows (and future shows) are the envy of JLo and Xtina because they thought Vegas was beneath them. When it makes a pile of money, as a performer, it's not beneath you.
ReplyDeleteIf tickets are given out to such a magnitude, that’s not successful though.
DeleteJLO has a show in Vegas and Xtina was never in talks for Vegas so how do they think it’s beneath them?
DeleteGwen Stefani
ReplyDeleteStefani
ReplyDeleteJanet
ReplyDelete"singer" is britney but britney is usually referred to as permanent A-list so must be someone else
ReplyDeleteBefore Britney did her show in Vegas it was considered the provenance of novelty performers like Debby Reynolds and Cher, Wayne Newton and Liberace. Britney (and Cirque de Soleil and Celine somewhat) changed all that. Performers like JLo probably had been offered limited engagements by casinos before but turned them down because it was considered graveyard work - it means you are done. Now they are waking up to the possibilities, after Britney, but will never make the money Britney has secured for herself in Vegas. Not only that but Britney is back out on the road, so not retiring to Vegas just yet but using Vegas to work on herself and her professional capabilities.
ReplyDeletePaul Abdul will always be a dancer first, thus "singer."
ReplyDeleteGwen or Christina?
ReplyDeleteJanet Jackson
ReplyDeleteWhy does everyone assume this is Vegas? There are Casinos everywhere now. Even metal bands play them.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree... I was thinking the exact same thing. I don't even think Vegas when someone says Casino Tour, or playing Casino... I think everywhere else. Vegas, it just that, Vegas... But, Casinos is Jersey, Connecticut, and wherever else there is a small grp of Casinos. I'm right by CT, & there are two casinos that ALWAYS has concerts, some cool ones too. Xtena is heading there. I can't recall who else tho. But, isn't she a perm A list? Or even A+? And, girl can sing. I'm def keeping the peepers open for Casino concerts coming up. And, didn't Cher retire? Bc, Damn it, I paid a lot of freakn money to see her farewell tour.. I wouldn't pay to watch her burn now. Can't stand the bitch. Lol! But, I believe she retired, unless she's trying too hard to stay relevant, and has to come out of retirement. Or needs cash. Either way, lame.
DeleteHas to be Britney. She's playing a casino in my hometown tomorrow night. Immediately thought of her.
ReplyDeleteMy queen Britney.

ReplyDeleteBritney is doing a show at an MGM casino in Washington DC. It holds about 2,000 seats. So there's that.
ReplyDeleteIt’s Lady Gaga! Have you guys forgotten she’s starting a residency in Vegas at the Monte Carlo? In recent years she’s had trouble selling out her arenas. She’s gonna make a comeback once her movie is released.
ReplyDeleteHolla back girl Gwen Stefani
ReplyDeleteWouldn't Cher be listed as triple-threat or dual threat Academy Award winner/nominee, tho?
ReplyDeleteI always had the feeling that when a singer/group was attached to a casino for any length of time, it was as if they were on the downhill slide of their career. Even back in the Rat Pack days, when the only place you could see Sammy Davis Jr and Dean Martin perform was Vegas, it still felt like they were phoning it in, thankful they were getting a pay check. And don't get me started on Elvis...
It's funny that of all the so called vocalists out there, there are very few who can actually hold a tune, belt something, breath control, interpretation...Very few actual singers. Aguilera is an actual singer. Cher is an actual singer. Dion is an actual singer. Marie Osmond is an actual singer. Taylor Dayne is magnificent. Basia is queen. Oleta Adams.
ReplyDeleteCarey, of course, was wonderful. I fear she's broken her voice forever, too much hard living. It's a shame to see her doing lip sync, but she does.
Gomez was never a singer. Lopez was never a singer. Being good looking does not automatically make you a vocalist. Gomez seems to have figured this out, and moved on to other things.
