Concert Tour Guide: Avril sinks, Kanye swims and Madonna gets $25 million to perform
After playing to half empty arenas, once-successful Avril Lavigne is served another low blow-scathing reviews The Washington Post. "Who says Canadians are all sweetness and light? Much of Avril Lavigne's appeal, and there's a ton to go around, comes from how loathsome she is." In an ever-so-slight contrast, the L.A. Times Kanye's Glow in the Dark tour, "raises the bar for arena tours as no show has since U2's 1992 Zoo TV breakthrough. It's that innovative and galvanizing…the ridiculous, beautiful heights of West's heroics." Man, we need to get tickets! Not to be outdone, Madonna, the queen of pop, sits comfortably on her throne raking in $25 million for playing two shows in Dubai. Ahh, must be nice. [LAT, WP, MTV]
