1) Highest-grossing concerts are by acts like U2, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Madonna and Michael Jackson if you consider nowadays tour tickets sell better. All legends with a lot of star power.

2) BTW Ball grossed 44 million from 16 tour dates. Out-of-this-world achievement. Gaga has a lot of star power, probably the most star power right now.

Conclusion : Touring is the best / main indicator of true star power

Yes

Agree,

Yeah. You can't illegally download tour tickets

Yes I mean buying a song is one thing but getting people come to your concert that's different :coffe2:

No. Adele disproves this theory.

We can agree

She hasn't done a big tour yet. She could very well sell out stadiums in the UK.
And then, it depends on how you consider Adele: a global superstar or a talented artist with a super-huge era?

I concur.
You can only generate so much success if nobody wants to see you

Yep, I agree!

Based on your theory, what are your thoughts on the Bionic Tour? I'm curious. Enlighten me.

Just because one person doesn't fit the rule doesn't mean it isn't true. Jolie said MAIN indicator, not ONLY indicator...read next time before you talk

I agree with both

Yes,if you can't sell ticket you don't have starpower

What tour?

I didn't see the "both" option. UGHHUGHUHGUHGUH

I don't get what you mean

Well, Britney is currently the highest-paid female musician in the world thanks to touring (her $100 tickets and $1000 meet and greets,) so yes.

YES.

Yes. Touring means people are usually paying $100+ to see you, plus traveling expenses. You have to physically go out of your way.
