Only So So
by NoBozo2003 on 5/21/14MGM Grand Garden Arena - Las VegasThe show started strong but by mid-show the crowd lost it's enthusiasm. Many of the entertainers were not there in person and appeared by video feed. The only people who could see the Michael Jackson hologram were the people sitting right in front of it. No one in the stadium seats could see anything because the stage it was done on was too deep and the hologram was way in the back of the stage set. Even 80% of the people in the floor seats were facing the other way and had to stand up and turn around to see it. I think because the Michael Jackson stage set was so big and took up so much of the seating area they jacked up the ticket prices from last year. Last year I paid $150 per seat and was one section closer to the main stage. This year I paid $200 per ticket and was one section farther away. A couple of the acts were basically unknowns and even the name performers sang new songs that people weren't familiar with. Jennifer Lopez is always great but they show have placed her mid show to sings a new unknown song and and finished with a popular song that everyone knows and loves. That would have given them a strong finish. As it was, the opening act was strong and then the show just kept going downhill to a dismal end. Sadly, I saw people walking out before the show was over. That says it all.
