Fans Upset by Steep Bon Jovi Prices

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Rock

Bon Jovi has been blasted for “ludicrous” ticket prices for their London tour.

The “We Weren’t Born to Follow” rockers are set to play a string of dates at the city’s O2 Arena starting June 7, but fans are upset they will have to pay up to a staggering $2100 to see their idols.

General admission to the shows costs $73 for the cheapest seats, rising to $327, while the price of the highest-banded premium tickets has led angry fans to call for a boycott of the concerts.

One wrote on the group’s website: “I am going to stand up for what I believe in and use my earnings to feed my kids rather than lining some fat cat’s pockets.” Another added: “After writing an album about the world’s problems with the recession the prices are just a mockery.”

VIDEO: Whitney Houston Sings Right Out of Her Dress

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Performances, Pop

Although Whitney Houston is not set to tour the UK until April, television audiences got a preview of what to expect last night.

During last night’s X Factor, the singer performed the song “Million Dollar Bill”...and nearly gave viewers quite a show.

At approximately the 2:15 mark of her number, part of Houston’s silver gown came undone. Whitney had been so concerned with the bottom part of her dress, she didn’t realize the back was really the issue.

The professional, of course, didn’t let the malfunction interrupt her performance and even acknowledged the mishap at the end. “I sang myself out of my clothes,” she joked.

Whitney Houston is planning to tour the UK for the first time in over a decade.

Britney Spears Lip Syncs Her Way Through Europe

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Performances, Pop

Less than a week before her 27th birthday, Britney Spears gave international audiences a taste of what she has in store for 2009. Unfortunately, copycat ensembles and lip synced numbers aren’t probably what fans had in mind.

Last Thursday in Germany, the pop princess gave her very first “live” performance since the 2007 VMAs. And while her appearance on the 2008 Bambi Awards was far from disastrous - the physically-fit singer seemed a bit more confident - it still could have used slightly more oomph. And originality. Strangely enough, she opted to wear an outfit identical to the one Madonna has been sporting during her Sticky & Sweet tour. Britney also chose to keep her dance moves and live vocals to a minimum.
