I am surprised that Anita Baker is that high up. I didn't know she could attract a crowd like that. I guess I just thought she fell by the wayside after Rapture.

After Mama's first residency at Caesars, I believe they dubbed it a "sellout" even though eyewitness accounts suggested otherwise. The official box office receipts were put at something like 1.1 million- not too shabby, all things considered.

I suspect even Celine would be playing half-empty shows in this economic climate, so I think Cher is doing exceptionally well, all things considered. I suspect Bette is seeing some empty seats too.
