She knows her live performing skills are not good. So does her fans. So she has to sell cheap to sell it out. We know, she knows, her label knows, her perfume knows, everybody knows.

This has nothing to do with it. Oh, my God.

There are a lot of crappy things that cost a lot of money because DEMAND is there. BEATS headphones are expensive despite being cheap because people want them. Apple products are expensive despite being cheap (to make) because people want them. Diamonds are actually really, really common but are expensive because people don't know that and want them. Demand is what dictates cost, not quality.

(Not calling Katy crapping, just tearing down this idea that quality dictates price.)

Well at least she will probably finish her tour without having to cancel it due to poor tickets sales

Is this supposed to be shade? The BTW Ball grossed $180,000,000.

Total gross has nothing to do with half empty stadions though, they would have lost too much money if she'd finished it.

Sorry but a song having crossover appeal doesn't change who it is marketed to. Do you really think Roar's video is geared to gaining the interests of a 30+?

Imma need receipts about Gaga halving more than one half empty stadium...unless you were referring to something else?

Actually, it was confirmed that they lost more money cancelling than they would have finishing it, and it was confirmed the tour was nearly sold out. Keep clinging onto The Examiner, though.

Not sure what you're trying. Even with these supposed "empty stadions", the tour entered the record books as one of the highest-grossing of all time.

In before they post the predictable half-empty photos of Gaga's shows two hours before the show began. Sold out in every country besides Colombia.

Do you really think 300,000,000 children watched that video, or?

I just looked them up expecting, like, $20 tickets from some of these comments. They're not that cheap at all.

lol... You know very well that I did not mean that only children have seen the video. But who has seen the video and who it seems it was meant to appeal to are separate things.

I meant to say that people, despite liking her songs, know that she's no good live so the DEMAND is not very high.

Oh, well I guess that makes sense. But at the same time, there are some untalented performers who are selling well so I don't know if talent matters that much to people. It's the name of the performer more than anything. It's why touring is such a qualifier when it comes to saying who's relevant and who's not. You can sell 10,000,000 copies of an album and still not pull people in because people don't care. It's so strange.

This weak ass argument again. I showed my Aunt Roar and Taylor's IKYWT and she loved them both and ended up buying them both. Stop this "She's targeted towards kids" because adults like her music too.

My aunt is over 50 years old and while she is not indicative of the entire elder population, It'd be nice if people like you stopped pulling **** out of your ass to try and demean her. Do you think a bunch of 5th graders are going to be able to take this song pass 5 million sales?

The elder generations are the ones who mostly BUY music. Case - see ADELE. Music specifically aimed towards the younger generation will not fare as well because they are so hell bent on streaming and illegal downloading.

Katy's singles usually always sell extremely well (minus uncle) as she holds the record for most 4 million and 5 million sellers, SO instead of making up this idiotic ******** of who she is marketed towards, how about you pull out some actual receipts if that's even possible or give this **** up.

There's no doubt that Katy has fans in every demographic. But it doesn't change the fact that she is undoubtedly more child-oriented than most popstars. There's no denying the children's-TV elements of her stage products and music videos. That's not shade, that's just visual fact.

Plus, Katy has become a HAC and AC radio staple. "Roar" is currently #1 on adult contemporary, and previously was #1 on hot adult contemporary.

I'm glad she knows what people are willing to pay to see her a live.
