Damn sum lambs can't read.

How sad dat this busted queen would stoop so low as trash Madonna to benefit himself. I like Mariah but honey why ur team so pressed on my bitch. If I were Forbes, I'd distance myself from this so called journalist, ur reputation as a respectable magazine is on da line.

Roger is not working on behalf of Mariah. Its not like she asked him to right these articles. He did it on his own.

true he is not working for her but he is working for her

He is trying to disqualify her by stating the album sales were not connected to ticket prices, she's not da first bitch to do it, Bon Jovi got a number 1 da same way and nobody said squat.

U know I'm always down for good critiques and constructive criticims but this queen is plain evil

Jus like my girl Latrice said
"Take ur hat off bitch, u balding bitch, take ur hat off"

let me not find this heffer in da streets ...

Madonna's Ticket Sales vs. Number of Tickets Sold



Setting the record straight: indeed, Arthur Fogel of Live Nation tells Billboard Madonna has sold 1.4 million tickets in “North America and Europe.” My sources says 600,000 of those tickets were sold just in the United States. North America, according to Live Nation, includes Canada (but not Mexico, which they count as South America). So in Canada and Europe, Madonna looks like she sold 800,000 tickets. This is nothing to sneeze at. At an average of $300 a ticket, Fogel is correct and I was wrong–even though I was told otherwise. Live Nation has probably banked $214 million so far, as Fogel– a smart guy who’s an expert at these tours– tells Billboard. Tickets are still for sale most everywhere. On Ticketmaster last night it was still possible to buy 10 good seats in the 100 level for Madison Square Garden. But Live Nation has done its part. They’ve technically sold out the tour. Now tickets will go to secondary dealers, like Stub Hub. As the shows come up, it will be interesting to see what the re-sale value is of the tickets. But that’s not Live Nation’s business. Meanwhile, Madonna’s album, “MDNA,” may have sold around 10,000 copies this week, or less. The numbers will be in this afternoon. “MDNA” has been a bust as an album, but the tour will go on and the fans will dance to the old songs. And that’s it, that’s all there is left to say about Madonna, her album, or tour. At least for now! When the “MDNA” final numbers come in, I’ll update right here.

He's so annoying.

Isn't this pretty old? The full transcripted emails can be found online somewhere.
