BRITNEY SPEARS LAS VEGAS SHOW BUMS PEOPLE OUT.

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS

Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

"Britney Spears Day"  and presenting her with the  key-to-the city? What a joke. It looks like Las Vegas is reaching to the  bottom of the barrel. Caesars Entertainment artists congratulated her for becoming this years biggest Strip star. Who are they kidding? The PR people for Caesars is trying to put a good face on the failing drawing power of Ms. Spears.

As I said before in blogs regarding Britney Spears, she is an over the hill "bubble-gum" pretend entertainer. When she was brought to Las Vegas by the casino honchos to perform (if that's what you call it) they paid her million dollars for a contract. Now I bet they are wishing they had never signed her to a long contract. I've always maintained she is not "star" power and for  the PR push that she is this years biggest Strip Star is laughable.

Her show in Las Vegas is a dud. I predicted that Spears would bomb out even before her opening night in Las Vegas. Now there are reports that she has tons of unsold seats at her performances. The Halloween show only sold  half of the tickets for her show. Billboard magazine reported that in October,  Britney sold only SEVENTY-THREE (73%) percent of seats for her show.

I also predicted early on before she opened in Las Vegas that since she was a pretend entertainer and "lip synced", pretending to sing songs that the audience would not buy her routine. It appears I was right on, again. Complaints from around the country is that she li syncs,  mouthing the words to the songs. And, get this, this lady also charges $2,500 for a meet-and-greet. Who in their right mind would want to pay $2,500 to shake the hand of someone who  only pretends. Maybe if it were $5.00, it would be worth meeting her. But $2,500? Come on! Talk about a rip off. Entertainers that actually sing their songs and have name recognition never charged that much  for an up close.

Ticket sales for Britney are so bad that her promoters said they would give "free" tickets to people named, "Britney" and to top that, the person didn't even have to spell their name like Britney's. It could be any variation on the name Britney. That's sad, folks. Anything to fill the seats, right? But even that did not do it. Sold out audiences for Britney doesn't happen and won't happen. It takes a lot of talent for a person to sell 4,600 tickets at  $525.00 dollars a pop PLUS a fee-for seats each and every show.And talent is something Britney cannot conjure up.

I suggest you could put a Styrofoam mannequin up on stage and play a juke box in the background and get the same type of performance Britney  does.  Hell,  she just stands there pretending to sing the songs and at times when she tries to moves about the stage she appears to be lagging behind any dancers that try to accompany her.

All the show really does is present music  which people can dance to. It's not meant to showcase a live, singing performance. Anyone could enjoy that same sound  by playing a CD, minus Britney, her dance troupe,  and get the same feeling.

I think the casino execs are trying a little  to hard to sell this Britney Spears package. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
