Jennifer Lopez deal for $1M-per-show Las Vegas residency in jeopardy as new album, concert tour flop: source

Jennifer Lopez was recently in talks for a $90 million Las Vegas residency — but the blockbuster deal now looks shaky at best as her new album and upcoming concert tour are flopping badly, The Post has learned.

The embattled pop diva — whose headline-grabbing marriage to Ben Affleck is reportedly crumbling — recently had been in talks with MGM Grand on a guaranteed $1 million a show for 90 dates starting next year, a source close to the situation told The Post.

But casino executives have lately grown skittish over abysmal ticket sales for her first tour in five years following the release of her “This is Me … Now” album in February — with poor demand having forced the cancellation of seven shows this summer, the source said.

jenny... poor ben... da bloc...

 

the guy who offered her a million per show should probably get fired

 

They realized the crazy homeless people down the block dancing for nickels had a bigger draw.

 

I'll do the show for 500 grand a pop.
Of course, I'm a 68 year old male so I might need a diet to fit in her dress

 

The Onion's (really) AV Club had an interesting feature just recently (with lots of examples) about acts failing to sell gigs because they're going too big: https://www.avclub.com/black-keys-sweat-tour-wallows-not-selling-stadiums-eras-1851503967

Some choice quotes:

And gotta say, I agree with Billie Eilish here... a 3 hour show is really excessive and almost megalomaniac for an artist... Who in their right mind would want to see Jennifer Lopez for 3 fucking hours for hundreds of bucks?!

 

Jenny from the block lives in a bubble, she can't beleive she's gotten older and music has changed. I'm not sure she realize how much money the average person has for disposable income to spend on live shows. She spent millions making her latest album... Doubt she'll recoup that.
I don't know how you spend that much and make an average sounding album. She must not know much about music and is paying someone lots of money to be the musician and composer and she is just the marionette with the pretty smile dancing for dollars...
