the tickets here were $150 each plus service charges
$300 for two people is ridiculous
I would have paid $100 each but the total cost is $325 and I could fly to Seattle or Vegas for that price

HANG ON A SECOND… TRENT…”None of the Bonus Tracks are that special??”
—
TWO THINGS WRONG with that. Firstly, they are all pretty special considering Mmm Papi made the tracklist and any bonus track could replace that. and #2… Trouble is a wicked song although an iTunes Preorder bonus.
—
ANYWAY. I think it was a few things – probably lack of promoters, maybe some decided against Kanye. No money to pay for what would have been an expensive tour that Kanye n Lady Gaga would have demanded. They don’t have the expisure like Brit or Madonna to warrant them a high price tag tour like Britneys $50 million. I reckon that could be a factor…. high ticket prices. Trent, you do mention Brit & Beyonces prices – but they are superstars. Kanye is Rap which doesn’t sell out arenas like Pop Stars (unless they have like 5 artsits like his Glow in the Dark Tour). And Gaga has JUST come out onto the scene so they don’t deserve high price tickets.
—
I think also cause Kanye has been a douche lately that a lot may stay away from him perhaps. Or perhaps they booked it into too larger arenas that they weren’t gonna sell out in prediction so cancelling was the choice. And probably creative differences like they said. Either way – who cares! I’m form Australia and it wasn’t coming here anyway cause Lady gaga is touring here next year anyway by herself. She supported the Pussycat Dolls here and then announced on that tour she would be coming back – wonder if she will sell out here, if she doesn’t, that will prove whether she has the staying power or not since she was popular here before America. But i would have gone to Kanye/Gaga cause i do like Kanye as much of a douche that he is.

Anyway, Britney beats Beyonce. Brit’s tickets at Melbourne sold for $5000 apparently. Was in the paper about it. Beyonce better Bow down to Britney!

@Kit — I love that she supports same sex marriage, that is awesome. I’m just not a fan of her music. It’s okay, really.

Trent, you of all people should be singing Gaga’s praises. She takes time out of many of her live performances to encourage the legalization of gay marriage.

I agree with Krissy’s 2nd comment. I’m not entertained by Madonna, Britney or Mariah, but I don’t get all melodramatic about it.

You know what I think? I think Gaga is an inhumane waste of talent. It’s clear that she’s got some but she thinks we’re all too stupid to appreciate it so instead she bastardizes the music industry with her cheap tricks and “flamboyant” costumes, guaranteed to make her enough money to last after nobody cares anymore…and eventually nobody will care. And at this point, if she sat down in jeans and a t-shirt and did an acoustic set, people would get almost as bored as I am every time I see her in her rediculous bid for attention.

lady gaga is now touring on her own!! good on her i say. it does make me laugh though Trent how u go on about Gaga like she’s the plague (missing her out of your VMA report completely) but you were happy enough to accept her advert on you website for a few months!!

ps Quicksand and Amnesia were the best songs on that album (apart from Phoneography) i mean My Baby WTF

@ Anthony — Now, now I didn’t say Madonna wasn’t out for attention, I said she wasn’t as “DESPERATE” for it as Lady GaGa ( she tries to hard with less results!), as far as the message behind her Paparazzi performance…. trust I get it!! I still think it was a mess that I would rather not have to pay to see!!!

@Monica,
Double post, but…
Kanye has acted like a jackass many times before. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back for many.
As for him being the most talented…sorry, no. His first hit was only good b/c he sampled Through the Fire and his last album was all auto-tunes cause he can’t sing. And Stronger’s success was due to Daft Punk’s original song.

Anthony — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 19:12:15 +0000

@Trent,
Actually, to be honest, Quicksand and Amnesia (to me) are better than My Baby and Mmm Papi. I listent to those two more than any other songs.

@KS — Yes, I know she wrote it. It’s an ok song … nothing special (but none of the bonus tracks from Circus are all that special)

Well I for one am bummed about this news – I think the tour was going to be super fierce. I’ve seen both Kanye and Lady Gaga in concert before and they are both amazing performers. I’d hate to think that this has anything to do with Kanye’s stupid outburst at the VMA’s because that just shows how people over react to really inconsequential things while ignoring more important things in the world. Like I’ve noticed that Chris Brown is subtly re-entering the music scene and I keep reading that his new single has been “well received” by fans. That just makes me sick because what he did was a crime and he should be in jail yet it’s like a lot people are going on like nothing happened. Meanwhile Kanye gets drunk one night and acts like a jackass so he should be punished for life and lose his career? Makes no sense to me. I don’t like any of these people on a personal level but out of the three – I’d say Kanye is by far the most talented.

@naomi black,

Madonna not out for attention? Kissing Britney and Christina at the VMAs?

Her speech about Michael Jackson, that was more about her?

Ok. sure.

Also, Gaga didn’t hang herself. Clearly, the meaning behind the performance was lost on you.

I don’t think Trent is threatened by Gaga, at all.

ps Trent, you loveeeee Britney. GaGa wrote “Quicksand” for Britney.

watch all three parts to this in-depth interview with GaGa. It’s the closest to Stefani we’ll probably come. It’ll really change your opinions about her.

People love to blast Lady GaGa for being weird and over the top. But wake up people! It’s part of her persona! She extends her stage character into day to day life. The majority of people don’t even know what her real name is! She shuts us out of who the “real” Lady GaGa is so that we focus on her music. And her wild antics and costumes are ploys to get people to notice her. What’s so wrong with that? Britney shaved her head to get attention. At least GaGa admits that she’s purposely trying to grab the media’s attention. She’s in a business where she has to market herself, and this is her marketing strategy. Also, have you ever listened to her piano and voice versions of her songs? She has an AMAZING voice, reminiscent of Adelle. But singers like Adelle have a limited following. Lady GaGa knew what she needed to do to become famous and it meant sacrificing more sophisticated music, but know that she is famous she is sneaking in oppurtunities to sing these more refined versions of her music. This concert failed because Kanye West is such a supreme douchebag. I am glad he got knocked on his ass, it’s just a shame he dragged GaGa down with him.

@Smoo — There is a clear difference between TV and real life. Nothing you see on reality TV is real life, nothing. If you can’t see that, I don’t even know what to say.

I understand what you are trying to say Trent. I agree with your ticket assessment, however as of the other point, Lauren was on that show you claim is there “for entertainment” and you said it yourself that she was “Too boring” for you, she wasn’t “dramatic” or “mean” enough. Like Audrina said, its people’s feelings and lives she is messing with. But you don’t seem to have any problem with that, whether she views it as “real” or “fake” she is still hurting people JUST to hurt them and to “get ratings”. You consider a person like that better then Kanye who yes, did something REALLY DUMB but then said he was SORRY multiple times. I still think its hypocritical.

@Krissy: I don’t think Trent is threatened by Gaga lol, he’s not a musician. He’s merely stating his opinion, which we can then in turn agree/disagree with. I actually agree with Trent, her attempts at “avant garde” are just blah & moot at this point.

@ Anthony… yes Madonna did wear the “cone bra”, but she has never come off half as desperate for attention as little Miss GaGa! WTF was that VMA performance all about (both on & off the stage)? She has okay music, I like some of it, but her performances leave alot to be desired! The costumes she chooses to wear are crazier than Bjork’s “swan dress”, hell she couldn’t even maintain one of them to accept her VMA award… and again what was up with that VMA performance!?! It was crazy & sloppy… and gross!!! One minute she’s in a wheelchair, the next she’s dancin’ like a drunk girl… the piano playing wasn’t right, the bleeding was even more wrong & then she hung herself….. uh, eeeew!?! I’m not gonna pay to see that, and do we really need to go into Kanye!?! Come on!!!

I am not taking it personally, and I am used to having differences with you on taste. I just find it odd that you go out of your way to bash her. Like the time you posted that “more people should start booing” her. You aren’t usually that catty and nasty, so it really stands out.
