| I don’t feel strongly one way or the other, but isn’t Britney last year’s news? Who cares anymore? Can’t see it selling out for one year, let alone two. So much hype over what??? |
|
| The rumor that Spears will be paid $15 million to lip-sync -- and that not even the band will be live -- truly sickens me. I think it’s shameful a no-talent has-been can command all this money and attention and it’s just further evidence of Las Vegas’ downward slide. Bring back Frank and the Boys! |

| Who’s Britney Spears? |
|
| Everyone should lighten up! Brit’s the perfect fit for Vegas and if nothing else, she’s sure to provide some interesting headlines. Sure, she’s no Celine, but that’s not what she’s about. |
|
| I’m tired of all the haters and as someone once pleaded in a viral video: "Leave Britney alone!" Can’t wait to see the show. |
|
| Having heard the alleged "isolated vocal track" of Ms Spears’ voice in concert that’s currently doing the rounds, I say PLEASE let’s hope she IS lip-syncing! I’d pay to see the spectacle, which I’m sure will be memorable, but I’d pay NOT to hear that voice! |

Analysis
Thanks to everyone who voted; here's some of your feedback:
- "All of the options were way too strongly worded to fit my thoughts. I don't really care but if people want to see her, then great. To each their own!"
- "It seems that the town is panicking. We used to go to Vegas every year, but it seems that the only priority that it has any more is to figure more ways to get into our pockets, and offer as little as possible in return. We can see better performers for less money at virtually any of the Indian casinos here in the Heartland, and for the most part, they tend to really appreciate our business. Couple this with the fact that we don't have to submit ourselves to a TSA prostate exam or pay outrageous west coast prices for gas, and it becomes very clear that the current powers that be haven't got a clue as to how to attract people back to Clark County."
- "Just another expensive performer we won’t pay to see. Have seen most of the special performers including Celine and all I can say is the less expensive shows like Donnie & Marie, Blue Man group, Jersey Boys, Human Nature, Terry Fator, Trent Carlini, Fab Four etc are much better for the average person. Every time we paid $200, $250 or more we were extremely disappointed."
- "Britney lip-syncing and no live band is like Penn and Teller standing and pointing to a video screen for their whole show. People pay to see a performer actually doing their talent not recorded versions of the act and just seeing the performer in front of them not really doing anything."
- "Maybe Wayne and Britney can sing duets together. Two has-beens. I'd rather see The Popovich Pet Circus again. Now there's a REAL dog act."
