Upcoming Tours To Avoid
When stars hook up for a tour, it’s a good idea if they both cater to the same audience—a clash of differing styles just leaves an awkward atmosphere for the audience. In other cases, it brings together too much of a bad thing. Here’s are some prospective offenders:
Kanye and Lady Gaga
Kanye, as announced on “The View” this week, will share the stage with Lady Gaga. The scantily-clad, buttah-faced Brit won’t fill the opening slot but rather will perform onstage simultaneously with West… which begs the question, can straight dudes even go to this? I’m sure it’ll be a fine opp to pick up chicks but vibin’ out to 808s and Gaga material equates to an irreconcilable man fail.
Jay-Z and Ciara
Nowadays, Jay just goes into his old-man rap stance and just sways back and forth as if he has visions of sitting in a rocking chair onstage (taking another page from Rakim’s rhyme book). He used to bring out the Roc boys but since they’re not en vogue at the moment, his guests will probably just be… Beyonce. And Ciara, as attractive as she is (well, she can’t sing), is hard to admire from a mile away—seeing as Jay charges too much for tix.
Asher Roth and KiD CuDi
Bobby Ray is the opener and usually delivers an entertaining set, mixing it up on guitar and piano and just wildin’ out in general. But with Asher Roth and CuDi on the same bill, the crowd just might be the most un-hip-hop in hip-hop (frat boys and hipsters).
Maxwell
Smart money says he pulls a Lauryn and doesn’t even show. Look what happened with The Alchemist’s new video.

hmm.. i like all this artist.. and lady gaga and kanye is the shyt.. are u serious.. this blog is stupid
You must NOT be a fan of music…to whomever wrote this!! You go to a show to watch the artist and if mingling with the crowd is what you prefer, then perhaps you SHOULD go to these shows. Kanye’s shows are brilliant and although you may not like Lady Gaga, she can definitely sing. She performed in Austin not too long ago with a show as vividly entertaining as her music. To see these two on the same bill is definitely going to make for the year’s MOST interesting and talked about show. Oh and if straight dudes are in search of ladies, THEY SHOULD DEFINITELY GO. Women love Lady GAGA and Kanye…the ratio of women to men will be 10 to 1, if not more. Also I know a gay guy when I see one, so I wouldnt worry about that. JayZ is cla**ic, and he tours less now, so see him Live now. Kid Cudi and Asher Roth will be in Austin in a few weeks, I look forward to seeing what they bring. OH and I’m neither a hipster or frat boy….Just a fan of music.
I agree with everything else on here but Maxwell. Cmon man. He’s got his project and i think it’s gonna be great. Maxwell is not Lauryn by any means and it’s not right to a**ociate them as such. He wont bail
all those tours look lame except i would love to see ciara do her thang but she aint comin to my city. they should sell ciaras concert tickets at mcdonalds, one meal for 1 ticket.
