Celcool Posted May 26, 2009 at 06:58 PM Posted May 26, 2009 at 06:58 PM President Obama is no Celine Dion Wow, President Obama is no Celine Dion (or Elton John). The president is making a special appearance Tuesday as headliner at a political benefit at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, a room which John and Dion sold out for years, no problem. But despite an opening entertainment roster that includes musical performances by Rachel Yamagata, Sheryl Crow and Bette Midler (a current headliner in the room) along with comedy by Rita Rudner, demand for tickets to see the president apparently has not been overwhelming. For sure Tuesday is not sold out. I just got this e-mail from the Nevada Democrtatic Party sent out as some sort of spam: "A limited number of tickets to 'The Good Fight: A Tribute To Nevada’s Senator Harry Reid,' featuring special guest President Barack Obama, are still available for $50, $150 and $250. You can purchase tickets at Caesars Palace Box Office today, Monday, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m." What makes this extra weird is that I bet Crowe and Midler could sell out the theater without the baggage of the president. And Rudner does just fine night after night at Harrah's, though in a much smaller room. And while the prices may be high in your hometown, this is rock-bottom cheap for the Colosseum. Certainly in all her years in Vegas there were never any $50 Celine Dion tickets. The man may be able to lead a nation, but the president (even with a puffed-out roster of opening acts) is obviously not ready to headline in Vegas. http://vegasblog.latimes.com/vegas/2009/05...line-dion-.html Quote

Edwin Posted May 26, 2009 at 07:44 PM Posted May 26, 2009 at 07:44 PM I thought the whole title might be he is no Celine Dion FAN. What a relief it wasn't that. Haha, yeah why pay to see him when he is ALWAYS interrupting regulary scheduled programming?! He's quickly becoming one of the most overexposed presidents. Less press time, more change! Quote
Belle Céline Posted May 26, 2009 at 07:56 PM Posted May 26, 2009 at 07:56 PM (edited) yea it confused me at first when I saw the title on google news, I thought about posting this but didn't. It didn't seem to really mention much about Celine so I didn't think it was something worth posting I think the whole point of the ticket prices article is saying that Celine is a bigger draw than Obama and people will pay more to see her than the president.

What a hell??lol LOL! That was the first thing that came to my mind. I was just about to say: Yeah, so what! None of us can sing like Celine...
