For those who want to know Beyonce will return to Coachella, this weekend to headline again. Also gave $100000. to be split between 4 traditionally Black Universities. Wonder if Terrence and company or even Adam will go back. I kinda doubt it. Seems kinda strange to headline again after all the hype the first time. Guess since you have all the staging and singers and dancers and costumes...might as well do it again and extend the praise. I'm not a Beyonce fan....don't care about her one way or the other. $100,000 to her would be like a $10 donation by me. And you are right. But that's on top of the half million to change for climate and the 7 million for the Homeless in Houston, Texas. What matters is that she gives back to the community.

Woah!!! I've done it! I bought myself a ticket to Lisbon!! I dreamed about this for a long time, but never thought it would be possible. Now I do have a standing ticket for Cologne to sell though, I can't do both shows. Anybody interested? I know for certain that there will be really cool people there đ Congratulations! I would love to do it myself! You will have a blast, I'm sure. I am hoping to be able to go to Las Vegas with a Glambert friend this fall when QAL performs there. I hope they confirm it for sure very soon! I think there is a whack load of us waiting on Vegas news. I am ready on a dime to get tickets and all as soon as they announce. We will need a plan to choose a 'best' week[end] for as many atoppers as possible to get together....it would be such major fun. Perhaps we need a page already set up to open as soon as we know the dates as we may not have much warning before tickets go up. You can buy ahead now can you not? It used to be restricted to just the day or two before the event to make it possible for people who don't plan ahead....but it is my understanding that this is not the case any more. Particularly with these 'residencies' where the act, rather than gambling, is the major attraction.

Not a big Beyoncé fan either tho she is very talented and puts on a fantastic show. But sometimes the worship just seems overdone. When Adele won the main Grammy's against her last album there was so much fuss made about it. Beyoncé won, I think 3, but not the main one so the complaints poured in. But her album went platinum while Adele's was 11X platinum so why were people acting as if Adele had no business winning? And to see Adele groveling as if she were not deserving was really off putting. Then there was the But Beyoncé's album made a statement. But obviously Adele's made a bigger statement to more people. Not surprised that Adam loves her tho as he loved Gaga and Madonna. Doesn't mean we all have to love them to that degree because someone or others do. I really like Rihanna but understand that many don't. What I would give to hear Adam sing her "Love on the Brain." I think it would do me in so maybe not, lol. If he were to write/record/release something with that kind of emotional punch I would not be mad at him tho. I agree with all of you about emotion. But when a woman says I care and you don't-that's pain. I know you guys don't know how deepseated "Becky with the good hair" goes into the psyche (back to slave times) and I won't fault anyone one here for not knowing. I think Adele's music is very retrospective--looking in the past and emotional. Beyonce's music is I have a cheating husband and regardless of what I have, this is my situation now. But honesty and pain hurts and it's hard for artists to convey that in a way that everyone can understand. I think we all do know that this music industry is very unfair and favors the few who seem to have hit after hit, due to radio play. Those with no or little talent flourish in the marketplace.

I don't imagine there will be a fan presale.....but I could be wrong. I sure wish they'd announce soon. I've been getting emails from MGM wanting me to book a room at the new Park MGM hotel or any of their hotels. Always a good booking deal.....BUT I don't know the dates.....yet. lol. www.ticketmaster.com/search?tm_link=tm_homeA_header_search&user_input=Park+Theater+Vegas&q=Park+Theater+Vegas

Will these prices never end? What criteria do we use to say someone 'deserves' this level of payment? Yikes....as if everyone does not also 'work hard' or 'have talent'....good grief. I will move heaven and earth to do this but my socialist little heart really takes a beating...

No, Brunoâs prices are unusually high! IDK why. His ticket prices are higher than Eltonâs!! Iâve gone to 3 residency shows in the past year, Britney, Ricky, and JLO. Prices have ranged from around $230-500. Some had VIP tables that were around $750.
I donât think Vegas has fan presales, but they do have Am Ex presales. Also, the hotel will have presales so join their rewards club, whatever it is. Might be âM Lifeâ

I tend to agree with much of what you say Lureen....But Adam has had a few really emotional releases...they were just never released as singles and had a radio push. Soaked was very emotional and I think the arrangement may have held it back a little but it was awesome. Underneath is as emotional as it gets...but very gay lyric that would turn many off...even though it was 'small' it was potent "you inside of me"....There I said it....another emotional one. With the right tweaking and push, imho any of those had great potential.... I agree. They have the right emotional pull but they were never released as singles. I think they could have done well too, if someone other than fans heard them. And the lyric in Underneath was more emotional than sexual, imo. But because of Adam's sexuality some would automatically go there. I agree with you, lurleene ... When questioned about that lyric, Adam said it had to do with the emotional connection, but many people (including many on this board) assumed it was sexual ... I think too many people assume that sex consumes the life of gays and lesbians when, in fact, they are as multi-faceted as anyone ... so I don't think it is fair to interpret everything they say, write, and sing as having a sexual connotation. JMHO
