We're Making Assumptions.

Where's the receipts that Britney CAN'T perform outside of Las Vegas due to her contract? I just think she doesn't want to perform on TV anymore, but idk why. she was fine with the dozen Britney Jean interviews we got. She was also fine with the Alan Carr skit. So why not performing?

 

Anyway, we shouldn't think of excuses anymore. she most likely doesn't want to perform on TV anymore, which sucks so hard because she's not putting in much effort anymore promo-wise. "But she's a mom now." So is Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez, even Shakira is a mother and she was pretty much EVERYWHERE for her self-titled era. 

[LiaLovesGodney]

Yeah. Mothers work ALL the time. Famous, non-famous, whomever. This comes down to Britney not wanting to be in the spotlight (or whatever).

but yet she tried to be in the spotlight with interview after interview. Even more now with her lingerie line, it's almost more promo than BJ

I haven't seen Shania, Celine nor Elton perform outside of Vegas, maybe I'm wrong? But it just seems like common sense

[Britnoy]

I haven't seen Shania, Celine nor Elton permite outside of Vegas, maybe I'm wrong? But it just seems like common sense

She can perform outside USA, so...

See? No excuses

[its_brett_bitch]

Could be... TV means performing for the world and not just your fans who pay to be there and support you.

 

But Britney has always said she feels more confident onstage. I think that's still true.

 

She's a lot more confident doing her choreography and everything that is set in stone as opposed to interviews and having a conversation with someone she doesn't know (which is why she tries to make it more like being onstage by memorizing certain phrases to answer the inevitable questions she'll be asked.)

The contract that everybody seems to have read except me (irony) doesn't make sense that she can't promote the show with a teasing performance on TV

So it must be the actual performing part. (?)

[Vegasney88]

I hope she only signs to stay in Vegas for one more year. She could work on music and enjoy her set schedule thru 2015 and then in early 2016... Bam! New album! :xf9:

i don't know if she can or not perform in USA by what is more than obvious is that her contract is only valid in USA, so if she wanted she could perform in any show from UK or any other country.

I think she's just trying to avoid the bad critics after all the FF promo performances.

 

[Far Beyond]

on the one hand I agree with you, but on the other hand you are also making assumptions tbh

 

just cuz someone else is a mother doesn't mean that being a parent isn't an obstacle. No two people are the same, and until you experience life in their shoes it's wrong to make assured comments on them. I am not using that as an excuse, but I am also not discounting the fact that parenting and her situation counts for something. Besides, you list a couple of other celebrities, who are anomolies as human beings, in that they are privileged w money and caregivers. And furthermore, Shakira and Beyonce are married which adds a different dimension. Comparing people, especially from the outside makes plenty of assumptions.

 

also, as far as the reports on her not being able to perform outside of Vegas, it supposedly is contracted through PH and prohibits her from performing in North America (or maybe just the U.S). Of course, I don't know this for fact, but around the start of her residency and the launch of BJ, it seemed to be reported in a variety of articles in that time frame. If this is true, then she can supposedly play overseas and probably w special consent. If it isn't true, then I can't imagine why it would be reported because it has nothing to do with selling a story for a tabloid to exploit. But if it really is not the case, then we'd have to make assumptions in order to figure out why

Will Spears contractually be allowed to perform outside of Las Vegas during her two-year Las Vegas residency?

"I’m glad you asked that question. It’s full exclusivity in North America. So she’ll be exclusive to Las Vegas and Planet Hollywood for two years in North America. If you live in the United States or Canada and you want to see Britney Spears in the next couple of years, Vegas is the place to do it."

[Caroline77]

It's just BS lol. It was NEVER said she can't perform because of Vegas. PH just said she's exclusive to Vegas only in NORTH AMERICA, doesn't mean she can't do promo performances, it might just be concerts (like a tour in the US for example, something that actually would bring her money, unlike promo, and imo that's what it is about, otherwise it would make no sense). And even IF it includes promo performances, it's just in North America, so yes, she could have performed when she was on Alan Carr for example. She just doesn't want to. People need to stop with that contract excuse, it's bullshit. 

[tarotx]

We actually don't know a lot except for what was posted in that Billboard article. Britney not performing outside Vegas helps sells of not only Vegas but of the DVD. Perhaps she isn't allowed to perform the POM performances for that reasons. They would have to do something not on POM. A new Choreography.  But I think she didn't do promo because they didn't want to take the chance that she would have one of her bad days-like the FF promo. That wouldn't help album sells and it could really damage Vegas. Besides the guest performances on S&M and Nicki's TTWE at BBMA (which were also highly criticized) Britney hasn't done promo performances outside Album release since I have no idea when. 

[Lobo212]

See? No excuses

Maybe there is hope, how far is this performance from when she started her recidency?

[heather]

while it's true that no one knows the ins and outs of britney's contract, simple  conclusions can be drawn from the LEGITIMATE information we have received. maybe britney doesn't want to perform on tv anymore, maybe britney is contracted against it, maybe britney is happy just being in vegas, doing her thing and going home. we'll never really know

it's completely unfair and a bit hypocritical of you to compare britney to other celeb moms. the women you've mention aren't in the same situation as britney both personally and professionally. it's selfish and rude of fans to discredit britney as a mother and how she wants to parent her children because they would rather see her perform.

[ahulyk]

Omg I can't believe what I just tread. Take your own advice. U said not to make assumptions and yet here you are making an entire thread about your assumptions. Lol.

[ahulyk]

Mess thread!!! Lol

We do not know what the Contract actually states.  When Casers Entertainment made the announcement Planet Hollywood stated that Britney could not perform inside North America (Canada & U.S.). Now to me promotions is performing. You have to remember Britney is under Contract so in a sense she works for Casers Entertainment Corporation.

[toxicxxkat]

I haven't read it, but it makes sense. She performed on TV for FF era and Circus, so why else would she suddenly change her mind for Britney Jean, other than Vegas? Vegas is the only thing that's changed between now and then.

If she performs on TV, then EVERYONE can just watch her for the price they pay for their monthly cable without having the cough out the money that Planet Hollywood would be making if they went to go see her. That's why. Her performing on TV = Planet Hollywood not making as much money.

[Betty Draper]

She wants to fade, but she also wants to deserve to sell out shows in Vegas every time she performs and does her thing as a pop star. She needs to get her shit together, musically.

This exactly. Again it seems like a weird business move not to let Britney promote Vegas with promo performances. It's most likely just prohibiting her from touring on her own. They're probably just scared her performances would not be up to par and scare people away from the shows instead of helping.

That said, to the OP, it's always unfair to compare her to other mothers. She doesn't have full custody of her kids, remember that. So she always has to adhere to a certain schedule to see them. It's not like she'll come home to see them everyday.

[britneystanstan]

Like I always say, the problem isn't her frequency of appearances, which have been reasonable given her situation. It's the QUALITY, which has been shit a lot of times.
